摘要:
A process for automated contact wetting in a sensor circuit includes generating a first current through a contact by sequencing a first circuit on, the first current exceeding a wetting threshold of the contact, and reducing current through the contact to a second current by sequencing a second circuit on, the second current being below the wetting threshold.

A device for detecting the state of a switch. The device includes a detection circuit which delivers a signal of specified value (Vpullup) when the value of an electrical quantity (RSw) characterizing the state of the switch is less than a threshold called the lower threshold (Rclosed) and/or a signal of different value when the value of the electrical quantity is greater than a threshold different from the lower threshold, called the upper threshold (Ropen). The disclosed embodiments also concern flight control systems, in which the device is implemented, and the aircraft including the systems.
摘要:
A control system has an instruction path of which an object section connects a microcomputer, a switch and a switch supervisory device with one another. The switch sets the path in conductive or non-conductive state on the low side of the microcomputer. An instruction signal is sent to the microcomputer through the conductive path to set the microcomputer in an operation state. When the device judges based on the operation state of the microcomputer that the switch has set the path in a conductive state, the device sends a first signal of first voltage, causing the signal to have current strength equal to or higher than predetermined value in the path, to the object section. When the device judges that the switch has set the path in a non-conductive state, the device sends a second signal of second voltage lower than first voltage to the object section.

A method for generating and applying at least one voltage pulse, which provides a cleaning effect for a stop switch, to a stop connection assigned to the stop switch, which stop connection is provided on a digitally controlled magnetic ignition circuit of an electrical device, wherein the magnetic ignition circuit generates a voltage wave series from half waves, the amplitude of which decreases over time, and/or at least one voltage pulse in a medium voltage range, wherein if a voltage wave series is generated, at least one later half wave in the voltage wave series, which half wave follows the first half wave temporally and therefore has a lower amplitude, is applied as a voltage pulse to the stop connection, and/or in that if at least one voltage pulse in a medium voltage range of 12 V to 50 V is generated, the one or more voltage pulses are applied to the stop connection and thereby exert a cleaning effect on the stop switch.

In methods and circuits for using associated circuitry to enhance performance of a micro-electromechanical switch, one of the method embodiments is a contact conditioning process including applying a time-varying voltage to the control element of a closed switch. In another embodiment, a voltage profile applied to the control element of the switch can be tailored to improve the actuation speed or reliability of the switch. In another method embodiment, the performance of a switch may be evaluated by measuring a performance parameter, and corrective action initiated if the switch performance is determined to need improvement. An embodiment of a circuit for maintaining performance of a micro-electromechanical switch includes first and second signal line nodes, sensing circuitry coupled to the signal line nodes and adapted to sense a performance parameter value of the switch, and control circuitry operably coupled to at least one terminal of the switch.

An apparatus for preventing corrosion of a contact includes a detection conducting path connected to the contact, a variable impedance unit and a comparing and switching unit. The variable impedance unit is connected to the detection conducting path. The variable impedance unit is switchable between (i) a first impedance used for passing a corrosion prevention current into the detection conducting path and (ii) a second impedance through used for passing a current, which is used for detecting a connection state of the contact, into the detection conducting path. The first impedance is lower than the second impedance. The comparing and switching unit compares a detected value with a corrosion threshold, compares the detected value with a restoration threshold and switches the variable impedance unit based on comparing results.

摘要:
An interrogation of a switched state of a switch is carried out with a high interrogation current until a closed switch is detected. The following interrogations of the switched state are then carried out with a low interrogation current until a definable time period which runs starting from a detection of the closed switch or until a definable number of interrogations which is counted starting from the detection of the closed switch is exceeded. After the expiry of the time period or the number of interrogations, the interrogation is continued with the high interrogation current until a closed switch state of the switch is detected again.
摘要:
Due to a bimetallic contact point, a fine control is out of sight. Further, dispersion of bimetal characteristics and poor durability of a contact point cause problems, particularly in maintenance work. In order to overcome these problems, a controller for extending a service life of the contact point can provide a fine control, so that a maintenance-free electric cooker can be provided. The ON/OFF of the contact point of relay is controlled to operate at zero potential of commercial power, and a short-pulse-signal-switch that allows the relays to remove deposition by itself even if the contact point encounters deposition, are prepared and applied to plural heaters for controlling thereof.
