    摘要: Power is transferred from a stationary power supply to a rotational gantry in a computer tomography (CT) system through a rotary transformer arranged in a ring configuration with an inner diameter that is sufficiently large to receive a patient. The rotary transformer has a toroidal rotor core and a toroidal stator core arranged either concentrically with an air gap extending radially therebetween or side-by-side with an air gap extending axially therebetween. A resonant inverter provides ac power to the rotary transformer which, in turn, drives a high-voltage tank circuit coupled to a x-ray tube, the tank circuit and x-ray tube being mounted on a rotational gantry. Advantageously, this is a contactless power transfer system which eliminates conventional brush and slip ring arrangements and moreover avoids the need for mounting the inverter to rotate with the CT gantry.

    摘要: A power supply system for thrusters (e.g., arcjet thrusters) in a spacecraft system comprises lightweight, redundant power supplies that share the power distribution function to the thrusters. Each power supply comprises a plurality of parallel-connected power supply subunits of which the combined power output capability exceeds the required maximum power demand by at least one subunit capacity for each arcjet thruster in the system. Each power supply subunit comprises a lightweight, high-frequency, soft-switching power supply. For arcjet systems comprising arcjet thrusters that do not operate simultaneously, relays are employed to switch between thrusters.

    摘要: An improved proportional base drive circuit for rapidly and efficiently switching a high current bipolar load transistor comprises a transformer having first and second serially coupled primary windings, and first and second secondary windings coupled to the collector and to the base, respectively, of a high current load transistor for supplying the transistor with collector current and base current proportional to the collector current, respectively. A diverter circuit is coupled to the second secondary transformer winding and to the base and emitter of the load transistor. During intervals when the second transformer primary winding is effectively short circuited to initiate load transistor turn-off, the diverter circuit diverts current in the second secondary winding away from the load transistor base and also removes load transistor stored charge to effect rapid load transistor turn-off, thereby assuring reliable transistor switching.

    摘要: Full-wave and half-wave rectifier circuits are disclosed; the former circuit using two transistors and the latter circuit using one transistor. In both circuits transistors are connected in an inverted mode so that, for example, with an NPN transistor current flow is such that line current flows into the emitter and load current flows out of the collector. Furthermore, voltage blocking is performed by the collector-base junction instead of the emitter-base junction. High efficiency is achieved by controlling the transistor base current in response to the emitter current so that the base current is proportional to the emitter current and is also at an optimum magnitude so as to minimize circuit losses.

    摘要: A resonant inverter is operated in a manner to provide a substantially constant output voltage to a load. The inverter is controlled using either a frequency control mode or a phase shift control mode. In the frequency control mode, a constant output voltage is maintained through frequency variation of the rectangular wave signal applied to the resonant circuit of the inverter. In the phase shift control mode, constant output voltage is maintained by phase shifting one component signal of the rectangular wave signal relative to another component signal thereof while maintaining constant the frequency of both component signals. Mode switching occurs automatically at the extremities of the operating frequency range of controllable switch means in the resonant inverter.

    摘要: A multipole permanent magnet rotor is positioned on a shaft and rotatably mounted in a multiphase stator having two windings per stator phase. A distributor comprising a pattern of conducting and non-conducting material is mounted to turn with the rotor shaft. Pickup "fingers" in contact with the distributor, gate appropriate FET's of the pairs of FET's associated with each stator phase in sequence, with timing dependent on the instantaneous shaft position, to generate a rotating flux field. A voltage across the windings provides the current for flux generation, and can be supplied by a full wave rectified single phase AC source. The speed of rotation of the motor can be controlled by varying the voltage supplied.

    摘要: A starting circuit for providing a high-voltage pulse for igniting an arc in an arcjet thruster includes a resonant capacitor for storage of the energy required to generate the high-voltage pulse. The capacitor is resonantly switched with a small resonant inductor which, in turn, resonates with a high-voltage cable capacitance, generating a high-voltage pulse via a step-up transformer to the arcjet thruster for igniting the arc. Advantageously, the transformer turns ratio is minimized, thus minimizing the required transformer size and weight; and the high-voltage pulse is isolated from the arcjet power supply semiconductor devices.

    摘要: A power supply for a thruster for space applications (e.g., an arcjet thruster) comprises a series/parallel resonant converter wherein the load quality (Q) factor of the resonant tank circuit inherently varies with arc voltage so as to accommodate changes in arc voltage from initiation thereof through steady-state operation. Effectively, the resonant tank circuit acts as a ballast by matching the arc during initiation thereof through steady-state operation. Furthermore, the resonant converter operates in a soft-switching, low-voltage switched mode so as to maximize efficiency.
