Abstract:
A regulating power supply circuit in which the power supplied at the output is controlled by controlling the firing angle of a thyrister switching device in response to changes in a hybrid signal which is indicative of the difference between the RMS value of the output voltage and a desired RMS value. The hybrid signal is formed by summing a feedback current proportional to the absolute load voltage with a reference current proportional to the firing angle of the thyrister on a summing capacitor. Since for any given RMS voltage, the value of the average load voltage varies linearly with the conduction angle over a large range of conduction angles, the phase angle proportional reference current source is utilized to relate the absolute output voltage with the RMS voltage linearly over a wide range of input voltages.
Abstract:
The optical illumination and scanning system for document reproduction consists of two rotatable mirrors mounted in fixed side-by-side relationship. A light source illuminates the first mirror which reflects the light to a section of an original document. This light is reflected by the document to the second mirror which reflects this return beam through a lens system to a photoconductor surface. The mirror assembly oscillates across the entire original without changing the fixed relationship between the light beam reflected to the original and the return beam focused on the photoconductive surface.
