Identical tests were repeatedly performed in order to record the spread of terminal voltages and discharge capacity during (a) initial conditions, (b) after several charge/discharge cycles, and (c) under different temperature conditions. The test proved that significant degradation of performance took place due to exposure to high and low temperatures and due to repeated charge/discharge cycles. Furthermore, it showed that the state of charge status cannot be extracted from the terminal voltages since the variations in this parameter were extremely large.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123289741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently attention has been given to the use of microprocessors to program the outputs of these function generators. A low frequency programmable function generator has particular application in the telephone industry, where there is a requirement for sinusoidal tone wave forms at various frequencies between 16 2/3 Hz and 60 Hz to operate telephone ringing circuits. Other a.c. or pulsed d.c. functions may be required to operate relays in coin box mechanisms, and for automatic number identification. This paper discusses the concept of a bi-polar switching regulator and examines its properties in relation to the generation of d.c. and low frequency a.c. functions. Implementation problems are discussed, and the programmable function generator used in Northern Telecom's DMS 100 is briefly described.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115640804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measurement is done in conjunction with a temperature-accelerated aging program. The method is based upon the use of a `reflectoscope', a sonar based instrument which can externally measure the distance between the end of each positive plate and the inside jar wall. The positive plate growth can then be monitored and the rate of growth calculated. A procedure is outlined for calibration of the instrument to this intended use. Typical plate growth measurements are given for commercially available lead-calcium and lead-antimony telephone batteries. The possible application of the reflectoscope in the field and some related problems (for measuring some cells) are discussed.","PeriodicalId":177302,"journal":{"name":"INTELEC - 1979 International Telecommunications Energy Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130123691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However it incorporates a new burner which will operate on any of the commonly available liquid fuels including diesel fuel, kerosene, jet fuel or gasoline. The burner has only two moving parts, the fuel pump and combustion air blower, and is expected to operate unattended for one year between maintenance. The output power is 100 watts at 6-8 volts and 90 watts with dc-dc conversion at 12, 24 or 48 volts. Multiple units can be used in series or parallel combination to provide higher power levels.
