TL;DR: In this article, the position or presence of a metallic object is detected by an electronic circuit which senses a shift in phase between a first cyclic signal and a second cyclic signals which shifts in phase in response to movement of the object.
Abstract: The position or presence of a metallic object is detected by an electronic circuit which senses a shift in phase between a first cyclic signal and a second cyclic signal which shifts in phase in response to movement of the object. An oscillator produces the first cyclic signal which is used as the reference signal and as the excitation for a parallel resonant circuit which produces the second signal. The phase of the second signal is shifted in response to movement of a metal plate or a shorted coil in an electromagnetic field produced by an inductor in the resonant circuit. The degree of the phase shifts may be used to detect the position of an object in the electromagnetic field or rate of the phase shifts may be used to detect the velocity of an object. An exclusive-or gate senses the changes or differences in phase between the two cyclic signals and produces an output signal representative of the changes or differences in phase. The output signal of the detector may be used with a digital counter to produce a digital output or with a smoothing filter to provide an analog output.

TL;DR: In this paper, a soft-switching dc-dc converter, where the resonant capacitor is replaced by a switched-capacitor circuit, is presented, which ensures minimal switching losses.
Abstract: A soft-switching dc-dc converter, in which the resonant capacitor is replaced by a switched-capacitor circuit, is presented. The new system incorporates a switching technique at zero-current or zero-voltage for each switch and an operation at constant switching frequency. The first feature is due to the presence of a resonant circuit, which shapes the switches' current and voltage waveforms in a sinusoidal form. It assures minimal switching losses. The switched-capacitor circuit determines a simple, discrete control, extends the region in which the soft-switching condition is fulfilled to large values of the load or small values of the input voltage, and prevents the current stress on the electronic devices from increasing with the input voltage. An original design approach allows for choosing the element values so as to get both soft-switching and regulation over a large range of input voltage and load values. Analysis, computer simulation and experiments indicate the operation principles of the new structure and render evident its performances, such as high efficiency and good regulation capability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a control transformer is provided in parallel with a resonance capacitor for deriving the energy stored in the resonance capacitor, which can be controlled by changing the switching frequency of the apparatus or the inductance of the control transformer, so as to control the amount of energy transferred to the output or input terminal of an LC series resonance circuit.
Abstract: A resonant type constant voltage supply apparatus has a LC series resonance circuit. Energy stored in both a resonance capacitor and a resonance inductor is directly transferred to the output or input terminal of the apparatus. A control transformer is provided in parallel with the resonance capacitor for deriving the energy stored in the resonance capacitor. The amount of the energy stored in the resonance capacitor can be controlled by changing the switching frequency of the apparatus or the inductance of the control transformer, so as to thereby control the amount of energy transferred to the output or input terminal of the apparatus and thereby stabilize the output voltage of the apparatus.

Abstract: To reduce network harmonics upon connecting a fluorescent lamp (LP1) with a power network rectifier (2) and a push-pull frequency generator (3) and a series resonance circuit (4) to the network, a harmonic filter is connected in the circuit with the fluorescent lamp (LP1) or lamps (LP1, LP2). The harmonic filter includes two diodes (D8, D9), connected in forward current passing direction to the power rectifier (2), and two capacitors (C7, C8) connected, respectively, between the serially connected diodes and a center tap (M1) between the push-pull transistors directly and beyond an inductance forming part of a series resonance circuit (4) for the lamps. In parallel to the two diodes, two further diodes (D10, D11) are provided, having a center tap (M4) which is connected over a capacitor (C9) also to the center tap between the transistors of the push-pull frequency generator (3). Preferably, the capacity value of the further capacitor (C9) is about 0.2 times the total capacity value in the harmonic filter circuit.

TL;DR: In this paper, a symmetric block-Lanczos-type procedure, termed SyMPVL for Symmetric Matrix Pade via Lanczos, was proposed to reduce original circuit matrices to a pair of banded symmetric matrices.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating and analyzing a reduced-order model of a linear circuit. The method and apparatus generates the symmetric multi-port transfer function of an RLC circuit. The invention employs a novel symmetric block-Lanczos-type procedure, termed SyMPVL for Symmetric Matrix Pade via Lanczos, to reduce original circuit matrices to a pair of banded symmetric matrices. When the circuit comprises only two of the three RLC components, the matrices are also positive definite. These matrices are typically much smaller than the original circuit matrices and determine a reduced-order model of the original multi-port transfer function of the circuit. The reduced transfer function represents a matrix-Pade approximation of the original multi-port matrix transfer function.
