Method and apparatus for maintaining a constant load current with line voltage in a switch mode power supply

A power supply including a regulation circuit that maintains an approximately constant load current with line voltage. An example circuit includes a switch including first, second and third terminals. The first terminal is coupled or decoupled to the second terminal in response to a control signal received at the third terminal. Voltage sense circuitry is included and is coupled to sense a voltage drop across the switch. The voltage drop is representative of a current in the switch during an on time of the switch. The voltage sense circuitry has a variable current limit threshold that increases between a first level and a second level during the on time of the switch. The control signal is responsive to the variable current limit threshold to regulate a power supply with an output characteristic having an approximately constant output voltage below an output current threshold and an approximately constant output current below an output voltage threshold.

Water heater and control

An improved heater and method of controlling the same is provided. The water heater has the combination of a tank for holding water, a heater for heating the water, a controller having logic to regulate the heater, and first and second sensors. Each of the sensors detects the water temperature at different areas within the water heater. The sensors also provide the controller with signals corresponding to the detected water temperature. In response to these signals, the controller regulates the heater when at least one of the signals of the first and second sensors satisfies at least one predetermined state condition.

Method and apparatus for adaptive cancellation of responses in cabling

An Adaptive Vector Cancellation method which uses time domain data for an instrument connection to estimate magnitude, phase, and time position of a signal response such as NEXT or Return Loss associated with the connection. Based on the estimate of the amplitude and time of the connection response, a suitable full-bandwidth frequency response that corresponds to a point source of NEXT or Return Loss is determined. This calculated connector response is then scaled to an appropriate magnitude, phase and time shifted to the estimated position of the actual connection. The scaled / shifted response is then vectorially combined with the measured sweep data to suitably cancel the connection contribution to NEXT and / or Return Loss. Thus, the amount of NEXT or return loss existing in the user's patch cord is preserved, while the NEXT or return loss due to the instrument connection is suitably suppressed. Correction is done in the frequency domain, over the full bandwidth of the measured data.

Improved active-disturbance-rejection position controller for direct current (DC) motor, and design method of improved active-disturbance-rejection position controller

The invention discloses a structure and a design method of an improved active-disturbance-rejection position controller for a direct current (DC) motor; the DC motor is taken as a controlled object, and an output position signal is taken as a controlled variable; the controller mainly consists of four parts, i.e., a tracking differentiator, a nonlinear state error feedback part, an extended state observer and a disturbance compensation part. The improved active-disturbance-rejection position controller is mainly used to improve a fal function in a nonlinear function in the extended state observer, and the fal function is used to determine the tracking performance of the extended state observer and the controller; the concrete improvement measure is adding a linear feedback area into non-linear feedback; therefore, the problem that in the traditional method, timely control cannot be realized when the system error is too large and the gain is too low can be solved on the basis of guaranteeing system stability. By comparing simulation lines obtained before and after the improvement for the controller, the structure and the design method which are provided by the invention are proved to accelerate the output signal response speed under the condition that the position error of the DC motor is larger, thus improving the integral control performance of a system.

Signal Response Metrology Based On Measurements Of Proxy Structures

Methods and systems for estimating values of parameters of interest of actual device structures based on optical measurements of nearby metrology targets are presented herein. High throughput, inline metrology techniques are employed to measure metrology targets located near actual device structures. Measurement data collected from the metrology targets is provided to a trained signal response metrology (SRM) model. The trained SRM model estimates the value of one or more parameters of interest of the actual device structure based on the measurements of the metrology target. The SRM model is trained to establish a functional relationship between actual device parameters measured by a reference metrology system and corresponding optical measurements of at least one nearby metrology target. In a further aspect, the trained SRM is employed to determine corrections of process parameters to bring measured device parameter values within specification.
