An electrical rotating apparatus is provided that has variable impedance. This is achieved by connecting one of the polyphase components of the apparatus in a mesh connection. The spanning value, L, of such a mesh connection may be varied by changing the harmonic content supplied by an inverter component. Also provided is a method for connecting an inverter to a motor, wherein a switching arrangement permits the simple alteration between various mesh connections of different span value, changing thereby the Volts / Hertz ratio of the motor.

A battery charger for an electronic device receives current limited power from an external power source, such as a Universal Serial Bus power interface. The battery charger can linearly regulate a charging current to an internal battery and limit the charging current so as not to demand current in excess of what the external power source can provide. A bi-directional pass element coupled between a system power terminal and the internal battery controls the charging current and effectively isolates the internal battery from a system load during charging of the battery while providing a low impedance path from the internal battery to the system load during discharging of the battery.

A bidirectional memory cell includes an ovonic threshold switch (OTS) and a bidirectional memory element. The OTS is configured to select the bidirectional memory element and to prevent inadvertent accesses to the memory element.

The present invention relates to a method and a control system for driving a three-strand brushless, electronically commutated electric motor (2), wherein a line AC voltage (UN) is rectified and fed via a slim DC link (8) with minimum DC link reactance as a DC link voltage (UZ) to an inverter (10) that can be driven to supply and commutate the electric motor (2). A pulsating DC voltage (UG) initially generated by rectifying the line AC voltage (UN) is dynamically increased with respect to its instantaneous values by a step-up chopper (18) in such a manner that the resulting DC link voltage (UZ) with a reduced ripple always lies above a defined limit voltage (U18 / U1) over time. The control system consists of a network rectifier (6), a downstream slim DC link (8) with minimum DC link reactance and a controllable inverter (10) that can be supplied via the DC link and driven to commutate the electric motor (2). A step-up chopper (18) is integrated therein with a controller (20) designed in such a manner that, the pulsating DC voltage (UG) rectified by the network rectifier (6) is dynamically increased with respect to its instantaneous values in such a manner that the resulting DC link voltage (UZ) with a reduced ripple always lies above a defined limit voltage (U20 / U1) over time. Stray inductances (Ls1-Ls3) of the motor winding heads present in the electric motor (2) are used as inductor (L) for the step-up chopper (18).

A battery powered headworn communication device and a method for conversion of a battery voltage in a battery powered headworn communication device, which includes providing a voltage reduction to a fixed part of the input voltage and providing a variable reduction that ensures that a minimum voltage is maintained. Preferably, the fixed part reduction and the variable reduction are performed in parallel and the fixed voltage conversion is a ⅔ conversion of the input voltage. A fixed voltage conversion and the variable conversion can be balanced according to the actual battery voltage.
