Abstract:
A device for epitaxial growth of objects by Chemical Vapor Deposition on a substrate comprises a susceptor adapted to receive the substrate and members for heating walls of the susceptor surrounding the substrate and thereby the substrate and a gas mixture fed to the substrate for the growth. The device comprises also members for holding the substrate in the path of the gas mixture through the susceptor at a distance from internal walls thereof.
Abstract:
A synchronous electrical motor includes a rotor with a DC field winding. An exciter is configured to energize the DC field winding by generating a DC current in a first direction across the DC field winding when activated. A control system is configured to control a current flow across the DC field winding, the control system including a field discharge resistor and a by-passing circuitry. The by-passing circuitry is configured to implement a first by-passing to electrically by-pass the field discharge resistor during a current flow in the first direction across the DC field winding, and to implement a second by-passing to electrically by-pass the field discharge resistor during a current flow in a second direction across the DC field winding. The control system is able to direct all the DC current generated by the exciter to flow across the DC field winding.
