Overload protection system for power inverter

An overload protection system for a power inverter utilized a first circuit for monitoring current to the load from the power inverter to detect an overload and a control circuit to shut off the power inverter, when an overload condition was detected. At the same time, a monitoring current inverter was turned on to deliver current to the load at a very low power level. A second circuit monitored current to the load, from the monitoring current inverter, to hold the power inverter off through the control circuit, until the overload condition was cleared so that the control circuit may be deactivated in order for the power inverter to be restored after the monitoring current inverter is turned off completely

Circuit for automatic load sharing in parallel converter modules

A nondissipative circuit for automatic load sharing in parallel converter modules having push-pull power transistors is presented. Each transistor has a separate current-sensing transformer and an impedance-adjusting transformer in series with its collector. The impedance-adjusting transformer functions as a current-controlled variable impedance that is responsive to the difference between the peak collector current of the transistor and the average peak current of all collector currents of power transistors in all modules, thereby to control the collector currents of all power transistors with reference to the average peak collector current

Low current linearization of magnetic amplifier for dc transducer

A magnetic amplifier having two saturable reactor cores with a separate excitation winding on each connected in series opposition, a common control winding, and a common output winding, is adapted for use as a low level signal transducer. The separate excitation windings are excited in push-pull mode through a center tapped transformer, and at least one diode is included in series with a load resistor connected to the output winding. A resistor in series with the output winding and load resistor is connected between the center tap of the excitation transformer and the connection between the two excitation windings of the saturable cores. This series resistor provides a return current path for the output winding and allows the excitation windings of the saturable cores to operate as primary windings of transformers

Icosahedral invariants and Shimura curves

Shimura curves are moduli spaces of abelian surfaces with quaternion multiplication. Models of Shimura curves are very important in number theory. Klein's icosahedral invariants $\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B}$ and $\mathfrak{C}$ give the Hilbert modular forms for $\sqrt{5}$ via the period mapping for a family of $K3$ surfaces. Using the period mappings for several families of $K3$ surfaces, we obtain explicit models of Shimura curves with small discriminant in the weighted projective space ${\rm Proj} (\mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B},\mathfrak{C}])$.Comment: 24 pages, 5 figures.

Trigger circuit forces immediate synchronization of free-running oscillator

Device provides positive triggering for inverter synchronization in uninterruptible power supplies. Integrated-circuit oscillator frequency may be higher, lower, or the same as that of the synch pulse and is always synchronized by first clock pulse

Base drive for paralleled inverter systems

In a paralleled inverter system, a positive feedback current derived from the total current from all of the modules of the inverter system is applied to the base drive of each of the power transistors of all modules, thereby to provide all modules protection against open or short circuit faults occurring in any of the modules, and force equal current sharing among the modules during turn on of the power transistors
