Abstract: A transformer over-voltage protection circuit shuts down a resonant inverter when high voltages occur at the output of a transformer. The high voltages can be caused by a broken or removed display tube. The system is designed to be used in display system, such as, an active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD). The system senses the voltage at the output of the transformer by utilizing a tickler or a tertiary winding. The signal from the tertiary winding is rectified and compared to a threshold. If the signal from the tertiary winding is greater than the threshold, the inverter is shut down for a period of time.

Abstract: One embodiment of the fabric (10) of the present invention includes an upper portion (12), middle portion (20) and lower portion (14), with the upper portion (12) having raised surface construction hydrophobic first yarns (16), the lower portion having hydrophilic (18) second yarns and the middle portion (20) being a region in which ground yarns (22), hydrophobic first yarns (16) and hydrophilic second yarns (18) are integrated. The upper portion (12) further includes at least one channel (24), which is a region free of raised surface construction hydrophobic first yarns (16). The channel (24) facilitates transmission of fluid from the fabric upper portion (12) to the lower portion (14) by exposing a part of the lower portion hydrophilic second yarns (18) which extends into the middle portion (20) directly to fluid on the upper portion (12), thereby enabling the fluid to contact and be absorbed by a hydrophilic second yarn (18) without first having to wick along a raised surface construction hydrophobic first yarn (16). In a preferred embodiment, several adjacent channels (24) are aligned to form elongated channels (24) which intersect one another in a grid-like fashion. The fabric may be incorporated into undergarments, suitable examples of which include an infant T-shirt (52), a woman's panty (62) and a man's brief (70).

Abstract: A current carrying wire is provided with a tubular shield construction which essentially covers the wire with conductive material, and preferably emulates a classical Faraday shield. The shield is formed of a multiplicity of insulated shield wires for minimized eddy current loss. When such a shielded wire construction is formed into a primary winding of a power transformer for a switching power supply, the secondary circuit is protected from electric shock hazards while enabling use of a gap free toroidal core for close coupling between primary and secondary windings. In another embodiment, such shields are used on both the primary and secondary windings of a matching transformer and are arranged for common mode rejection of noise associated with low power data signals.

Abstract: An absorbent barrier sheet (10) includes an integral fabric web (12) and a vinyl barrier material (14) intimately connected to and across the integral fabric web (12). The web (12) includes an upper portion (16) and a lower portion (18), with the upper portion including a plurality of hydrophobic first yams (20) and the lower portion including a plurality of fluid-retaining second yams (22). In addition, the web (12) has a middle portion (24) which includes a set of ground yarns (26) and parts of the hydrophobic and fluid-retaining yarns (20),(22), with the ground yarns (26) integrating the hydrophobic and fluid-retaining yarns (20), (22) of the upper and lower portions (16), (18), thereby forming the integral fabric web (12). The vinyl barrier material (14) is intimately connected to and across the fluid-retaining lower portion (18) of the integral fabric web (12). In this fashion, fluid at the top of the absorbent barrier sheet (10) tends to wick downward towards the fluid-retaining portion (18), whereby the top of the sheet tends towards dry. And because the sheet (10) includes the vinyl barrier material (14), the bottom of the sheet (10) remains dry.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp drive circuit is disclosed. The fluorescent lamp drive circuit includes first filament drive circuitry coupled to the filaments of the lamp for driving the fluorescent lamp with a first waveform having sufficient amplitude such that gases in the fluorescent lamp are not allowed to extinguish during a prolonged period of operation. The fluorescent lamp drive circuit also includes second filament drive circuitry coupled to the filaments of the lamp for adjustably driving the fluorescent lamp with a second waveform during the prolonged period of operation. The second waveform has an amplitude which is adjustable over a wide range of voltages to achieve a wide range of fluorescent lamp luminance levels. Synchronization circuitry provides an input to the second filament drive circuitry to automatically facilitate the efficient transfer of power from the second filament drive circuitry to the fluorescent lamp over a wide range of lamp pressures and operating temperatures.

Abstract: A preferred protective current limiter comprises a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor which automatically assumes a relatively high impedance state quickly enough to prevent venting of flat plate lead acid batteries under adverse charging conditions. For example, a fast charger with unlimited current and sixteen volt DC output (such as may be provided by a faulty vehicle electrical system) is found to cause venting without the limiter, while a PTC resistor selected according to the present disclosure safeguards the battery against venting while yet conducting a sufficiently high current to essentially equalize the charge condition of the battery cells within five minutes or less. Preferably a bypass resistor shunts the PTC resistor to avoid any problem which might arise if the PTC resistor became sufficiently heated to assume a current blocking state. At any given charging rate, the shunt resistor shares the total current, tending to moderate the heating of the PTC resistor, and leading to a more efficient charging of the battery after the initial cell equalization phase.
