摘要:
A flow stabilization system for damping pressure variations in a process discharging an effluent gas stream, in which the process is pressure-sensitive and downstream pressure variations can adversely affect the upstream process, said system comprising a motive fluid driver constructed and arranged to receive the effluent gas stream from the process, and means for sensing a flow characteristic of the effluent gas stream and responsively adjusting the flow of the effluent gas stream to damp pressure fluctuations in the process. The flow stabilization system may further comprise: (i) a variable frequency drive for motively operating the motive fluid driver at a correspondingly variable rotational speed; (ii) a pressure transducer monitor for monitoring the flow characteristic of the effluent gas stream and generating a pressure transduced signal; and (iii) a proportional integral derivative controller coupled in pressure transduced signal-receiving relationship with the pressure transducer monitor, and responsive to the pressure transduced signal to correspondingly adjust the variable frequency drive and responsively selectively drive the motive fluid driver to damp pressure fluctuations in the process. The system has applicability to stabilizing pressure-sensitive processes such as vapor phase coating and reaction processes in semiconductor manufacturing.

摘要:
A power transfer apparatus includes a first switch operative to couple and decouple a first AC power source to and from an AC power bus responsive to a first control signal and a second switch operative to couple and decouple a second AC power source to and from the AC power bus responsive to a second control signal. A first switch control circuit generates the first control signal responsive to a first AC source voltage produced by the first AC power source and to a first inhibit signal and generates a second inhibit signal responsive to a state of the first switch. A second switch control circuit generates the second control signal responsive to a second AC source voltage produced by the second AC power source and to the second inhibit signal and generates the first inhibit signal responsive to a state of the second switch. In some embodiments, the first control signal may comprise a current in a coil of a relay that couples and decouples the first AC power source to and from the AC power bus responsive to the coil current. A relay driver circuit may control the coil current responsive to the enable signal and the first inhibit signal. A current detector circuit may generate the second inhibit signal responsive to the coil current. Related uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and methods are also discussed.
摘要:
A steam sterilizable and liquid sterilizable cable assembly comprising an electrical cable and a connector at either end, one connector adapted to connect to a measuring device and the other to a recording device, in which the exposed wires of the cable ends and the exposed leads in the connector are embedded in epoxy resin which seals the leads and wires from contact with steam or liquid, and if either the primary insulation or the jacket of the electrical cable is impervious to steam and sterilizing liquid.
摘要:
Apparatus includes a segment loading indicator configured to be electrically coupled to a load segment output of a power supply, such as a UPS, and operative to provide an indication of a loading of the load segment output. For example, the segment loading indicator may be operative to provide an indication of a loading of the load segment output with respect to load rating of the load segment output. A UPS may include a loading indicator is coupled to a power output and operative to provide rear-panel indication of a loading of the power output.
