2502 results about "Low impedance" patented technology

A low impedance means that the circuit draws or provides more power on the signal. Say the circuit under question (circuit B) is interfaced to circuit A on the input side and circuit C on the output side.

Electrosurgical generator

An electrosurgical generator for supplying RF power to an electrosurgical instrument for cutting or vaporising tissue has an RF output stage (42) with an RF power bridge (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), a pair of output lines (74) and a series-resonant output network (48). The output impedance of the output stage (42) at the output lines (74) is less than 200 / √P ohms, where P is the maximum continuous RF output power of the generator. The generator offers improved cutting and vaporising performance, especially in relation to the reliability with which an arc can be struck when presented with an initial low impedance load. Overloading of the output stage is prevented by rapidly operating protection circuitry responsive to a predetermined electrical condition such as a substantial short-circuit across the output lines. In the preferred embodiment, the output stage is capable of maintaining output pulses at least 1kW peak by supplying the power bridge from a large reservoir capacitor (60). Pulsing is dynamically variable in response to load conditions by controlling the maximum energy per pulse in response to the reservoir capacitor voltage.

Electrical motor driven nail gun

A portable electric nailing gun operating from a power supply. The motor accelerates a flywheel, which at the appropriate energy state is coupled through a mechanism to an anvil acting directly on the nail. The actuation is governed by a control circuit and initiated from a trigger switch. The stored energy delivered from the motor is coupled to the output anvil drives the nail. At least one position of the output anvil is sensed and once the nail is driven, the power is disconnected from the motor. This method uses a direct acting clutch and a harmonic motion nailing mechanism to reduce wear and increase robustness of the nailer. Elastic elements are used to limit stresses during the impact periods. The electrical control circuit and sensors allow precise control and improve safety. The power supply is preferably a rechargeable low impedance battery pack.

Leak detection tape

An elongated, flexible, flat conductive tape can be applied to any surface to be monitored for water or other liquid leaks, and electrically connected to any suitable type of conventional electrically operated leak detector. A pair of parallel spaced conductors is disposed on one side of the tape that run longitudinally along the length thereof. The conductors are spaced from one another by a small distance to insure that only a small quantity of water or other conductive liquid is necessary to bridge the gap between the conductors, and create an electrical short circuit or substantial impedance reduction between the two. In addition, the conductors are preferably as flat as possible to insure that liquid can freely flow transversely across them without being impeded thereby. Both of these features insure that the detector tape can sense even very small quantities of liquid, thereby generating an early warning of a leak condition before extensive damage results. A liquid responsive visible indication is also provided on the tape to identify the location along the tape where water or other leaking liquid has come in contact therewith, and eliminates the need for using an expensive sensing device to locate the source of a leak.
