    Abstract: Significant throughput improvement is achieved for an input queued packet switch using output port schedulers by permitting the output schedulers to recycle or reassign cell transmission times from input ports which are unable to use them. When an output scheduler assigns a cell transmission time to an input port and that input port is unable to use the assigned transmission time due to a scheduling conflict, for example, the input port makes a new request for the same output port during the next subsequent request period and then returns the unusable transmission time assignment back to the output scheduler. The output scheduler stores the returned transmission time in a separate queue for assignment to later requests for the particular output port. Throughput performance is improved from 58% (without time slot recycling) to 92% (with time slot recycling) for random packet cell traffic models.

    Abstract: A dental scaler comprises a hollow sleeve and, arranged inside it, a vibrating piezoelectric transducer bearing a scraper, the extremity of which protrudes from the sleeve, and includes an amplifier connected to the transducerk. The transducer includes a base, of a series of piezoelectric chips on the surfaces of which are arranged electrodes connected in such a manner as to define an input and an output, and a head to which the scraper is coupled. The amplifier has an input, an output and two feeder terminals receiving a low direct voltage by way of a cable connected to an external source of voltage. The output and input of the transducer are connected, respectively, to the input and the output of the amplifier to form an oscillator, the frequency of which is determined by the resonant frequency of the transducer coupled to the scraper.

    Abstract: There is disclosed herein a driver system for an ultrasonic probe for allowing a user to have proportional control of the power dissipated in the probe in accordance with the position of power dissipation controls operable by the user and for automatically tuning upon user request such that the driving frequency is equal to the mechanical resonant frequency of said probe and such that the reactive component of the load impedance represented by said probe is tuned out. The system uses a tunable inductor in series with the piezoelectric crystal excitation transducer in the probe which has a flux modulation coil. The bias current through this flux modulation coil is controlled by the system. It is controlled such that the inductance of the tunable inductor cancels out the capacitive reactance of the load impedance presented by the probe when the probe is being driven by a driving signal which matches the mechanical resonance frequency of the probe. The resulting overall load impedance is substantially purely resistive. The system measures the phase angle and monitors the load current. This information is used to determine the mechanical resonance frequency by sweeping through a band of driving frequencies and finding the peak load current where the slope of the load current versus frequency function is greater than a predetermined constant. After the automatic tuning to the resonant frequency, the system automatically adjusts the bias current flowing through the flux modulation coil to maintain the substantially purely resistive load impedance for changing power levels. There is also disclosed herein an analog circuit to measure the Phase angle for the load driving signal and to adjust the frequency of the driving signal for best performance. This system includes an integrator to eliminate the effect of offset errors caused by operational amplifiers.

    Abstract: A single transistor type driving circuit for a piezoelectric vibrator. The driving circuit includes a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, a single switching transistor connected in series with the primary winding, the piezoelectric vibrator being connected with the secondary winding, a transistor driving circuit for applying driving current to the switching transistor so that the switching transistor is alternately turned on and off to thereby drive the vibrator at or in the vicinity of a resonating frequency of the vibrator. A coil is connected in series with the piezoelectric vibrator so that current and voltage of sinusoidal form are applied to the vibrator. A phase comparator compares phase of the sinusoidal current at the piezoelectric vibrator with phase of voltage at the secondary winding of the transformer to produce a phase difference signal, and the frequency of the driving current is controlled in accordance with the phase difference signal.

    Abstract: For the identification of the resonance characteristics of a piezo-electric transducer, an input signal having a variably selectable frequency is divided into two sub-signals of the same frequency to be tuned to one another, one of said sub-signals being independent of and the other thereof being dependent upon the electro-mechanical properties of a piezo-electric tranducer under test. A difference output signal is generated from the two sub-signals, this difference output signal being measured relative to a reference output signal derived from the input signal. The tuning of the two sub-signals in the measurement is undertaken constantly to zero and with a rated value actual value differential control of that part of the difference output signal lying in phase or, alternatively, 180.degree. out of phase with the reference output signal. The remaining part of the difference output signal which is phase-shifted 90.degree. relative to the reference output signal, is used as a measure of the resonance characteristic of the transducer.
