20090315612Switch driver with low impedance initial drive and higher impedance final drive - A driver circuit (for example, in a switching power supply or in a Class-D switching amplifier) drives a gate of a switch during a transition with a low output impedance during an initial period and then for the remainder of the transition drives the gate with a midrange output impedance. The switch in turn switches current flow through an inductor. The driver circuit includes a “Drive Node Voltage Dependent Impedance Circuit” (DNVDIC) that couples the gate to a supply voltage node. In one embodiment, there are two resistive current paths through the DNVDIC. A non-linear device in the first current path switches from having a small to a large impedance when a voltage drop across the device falls below a threshold voltage. The resulting increase in impedance of the first current path decreases voltage edge rates and reduces noise, whereas the low initial impedance reduces transition power losses.12-24-2009

20090272853Lift-Augmenting Flap, in Particular for Leading Edge Flap, for an Aerodynamically Effective Wing - A lift-augmenting leading edge flap for a carrying wing of an aircraft, wherein the flap comprises an essentially rigid main body which makes a transition from the first side to the second side of the wing the flap being adjustable by a retention- and actuation mechanism coupled between the flap and wing box, between a first, retracted, position and a second, extended, position, wherein the first transition region of the flap is slidable to rest in each position essentially free of any gap, against the first skin of the wing box or against the wing end cover, in relation to the wing end cover.11-05-2009
20100065689LOAD INTRODUCING ELEMENT - A load introducing element for a control surface of an aircraft or a spacecraft comprises at least one first component, one second component and one first flange. At least one surface area of the first component is adapted to conform to the inner contour of the control surface. The second component has at least one eye for receiving bearing means for mounting the control surface. A cross sectional profile of the first component has two or more essentially straight legs, which are connected together on their upper side by an upper edge which is adapted to an upper contour of the control surface. The load introducing element is formed by a fiber reinforced composite material having an integral type of construction in which all of the components are jointly infiltrated and cured. The invention also provides a method for producing such a load introducing element, a drive armature and an aircraft that includes such a load bearing element.03-18-2010
20110248122FORE FLAP DISPOSED ON THE WING OF AN AIRCRAFT - A leading edge slat arranged on the aerofoil of an aircraft. The leading edge slat is provided on the front of the main wing. The leading edge slat has a partially extended setting, with its trailing edge flat against the wing, and a further extended setting, with its trailing edge spaced apart from the nose of the wing to open a gap feeding high-energy air from the lower surface of the slat to the upper surface of the wing. The leading edge slat includes a body and a trailing edge facing the main wing, which can be bent around the spanwise direction of the slat relative to the body, and on which the trailing edge of the slat is provided, and which by means of a device generating a contact force is loaded for making contact between the trailing edge of the slat and the profile nose of the wing.10-13-2011

20110301450MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING MEDIATED RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION - Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may be used as a minimally invasive treatment of solid tumors, typically cancers of the liver, lung, breast, kidney and bone, most often via a percutaneous approach. In RFA tumor tissue is killed by heating. RFA requires guidance using an imaging method to correctly position the RF applicator. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for guidance, and offers the additional advantage of the ability to image tissue temperature. Because MRI employs high power RF fields, the MRI scanner could serve as the source of RF energy for ablation. Described herein are an MRI-driven RF ablation device and method. The device has minimal electrical circuitry, and uses the MR scanner radio frequency field as the energy source to generate heat in tissue using an antenna and a needle. Based on the Faraday induction law, different embodiments for coupling the body coil RF energy into tissue are disclosed.12-08-2011
