Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Lighter Quay Auckland
Genau, was man von einem Westin erwarten würde!
Fantastisches Hotel, wie es die Westins immer sind. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. In jeder Hinsicht professionell. Sch�ne Atmosph�re. Kann es nur w�rmstens empfehlen ....
Great Westin foundations..but with opening jitters!
I am writing this review out at the airport as I prepare to head back to Sydney from my one week stay in Auckland at the newly opened Westin Lighter Quay. Overall this hotel definitely lives up to the strong Westin brand, with luxurious fittings, funky restaurants and bars, with a very unique position right over (and quite literally on) Auckland Harbour. That being said they are still definitely going through some early stage jitters and that showed throughout the week. Let me go through the 'goods' and the 'bads' for you:
- Great location right down on a quiet quay on Auckland Harbour. Very well located for tourists as well as business visitors. Although they promote themselves as being on the water, only one side of the rectangular shaped hotel actually has water views (take note when booking!)
- Brand new = brand new amenities/facilities and all the other bells and whistles that come along with a brand new property. Very cool center atrium with a rock pool and waterfall with lots of glass, dark marble and accent lighting. Almost bordering on 'W' feel.
- Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite what I might say below, the staff are great and very courteous and always made themselves available!
- Great Starwood Member floor(s). I stayed in Room 611 which is the top floor, on the back corner (water side)..great all round although a little noisy if partygoers spill out of the bar below.
- Spa: Very nice..small and simple but friendly staff and very nice ambiance. Good value for money too!
- Despite a super luxurious and modern bathroom complete with deep soaker tub and rainshower shower..there was no amenities/soap tray or holder in the shower! Basically you had to put all your things on the floor, which included scraping off your soap every morning after it had dried to the shower floor overnight..huge oversight?
- A/C controls for such a modern hotel look like they were thrown in at the last minute. Basic dial fan controls with no actual temperature indications whatsoever. I had to rely on my little travel clock, which had temperature readout to figure out if the a/c unit even worked!
- Inconsistent Housekeeping. I stayed for 6 nights, and only received an actual 'turn down service' on the first night. Not a big deal but it meant I didn't receive complimentary water nor a breakfast card for my door.
- As per above, the Service Express/Room Service folks were quite forgetful. Out of the 6-7 times I had food delivered, I'd say 70% of the time something was missing. From minor things such as a spoon, all the way up to part of my meal (and everything in between.) Again, more frustrating then annoying but something that stood out all the same.
As mentioned originally I am confident that a lot of the service 'cons' above are simply the result of growing pains and no doubt will be ironed out over the coming months. The hardware issues such as the shower and a/c scenarios are more annoying though. That reminded me that the great looking Plasma TV had an annoying flicker that despite staff being notified failed to get fixed during my entire stay. Nothing like watching a movie while the background strobes constantly!
All things considered I expect to find myself in Auckland on business more and more in the future, and despite the few issues above, I will more likely then not stay at the Westin. This despite the impressive Hilton (actually ON the water) being across the street from my office. I guess something impressed me! :)
Ausgefallen, aber schön
Das Westin Auckland Leighter Quay ist ein brandneues Hotel in Aucklands Viaduct Stadtviertel, wo Hi-Tech-Firmen wie Sun, Microsoft, Vodafone und viele andere ihre Niederlassungen haben. Es ist etwa 10 Gehminuten von Aucklands Stadtzentrum entfernt und 5 Minuten von den Restaurants am Hafen. Das Hotel hat alle erstklassigen Qualit�ten, die man von einem Westin erwarten w�rde - ein bequemes Bett, herausragendes Personal und eine sch�ne Umgebung.
Da es neu gebaut wurde, ist der Stil modern und das Dekor wird von Braunt�nen dominiert. Wenn etwas mit dem Hotel nicht stimmt, dann ist es, dass dem Stil scheinbar mehr Bedeutung zugemessen wurde als der Substanz, und dem Hotel fehlt die klassische Eleganz des Westins in Melbourne. Zum Beispiel die Badezimmer sind sehr trendig, aber in der Duschkabine gibt es keine Ablage, der Duschkopf neigt sich unter dem Wasserdruck nach unten und am Waschbecken hat man nicht gen�gend Platz, um Zahnb�rsten oder andern Krimskrams abzulegen.
Dieses Problem scheint sich im ganzen Hotel fortzusetzen - selbst bis zum Restaurant unten, dessen Dekor und Speisekarte aufgesetzt wirken. Aber abgesehen davon, dass dieses Hotel ein paar Macken hat, ist das Westin Auckland ein sehr sch�nes Hotel. �u�erst empfehlenswert.
Eccentric but nice
The Westin Auckland Lighter Quay is a brand new hotel in Auckland's Viaduct area where hi-tech companies like Sun, Microsoft, Vodafone and many others have their offices. It's about a 10 minute walk from Auckland's town centre and 5 minutes from the city's waterfront restaurant enclave.
The hotel has all the high quality features you expect from a Westin - comfortable bed, outstanding staff and beautiful surroundings. As it's newly built, contemporary styling and brown-on-brown d�cor prevail.
If there is anything wrong with this hotel it's that style seems to have been chosen over substance and the property lacks the classical elegance of, say, the Westin in Melbourne. For example the bathrooms are very trendy but the shower stalls have no shelf space, the shower heads drift upward under the water pressure and the vanity units lack enough room to lay out your toothbrushes and other knick-knacks. This certain sense of awkwardness seems to echo throughout the hotel - even down to the restaurant whose d�cor and menu are somewhat forced.
But apart from the hotel having a few eccentricities, the Westin Auckland is a very nice place to spend some time. Highy recommended.
Un nuovo inizio ad Auckland con politica non fumatori
Ho trascorso due notti in questo nuovo Westin ad Auckland. Ho potuto fare il check-in molto presto, alle 6 di mattina, e mi hanno anche messo in una camera deluxe. Era tutto all'altezza degli alti standard del gruppo Westin: doccia a pioggia, televisore al plasma, vasca, vista del porto. I quadri dell'albergo sono belli e abbastanza originali, con opere di Maori qua e l�. Il lounge executive era bello, i drink erano serviti da un personale molto competente. La colazione continentale non aveva proposte calde. L'albergo non � proprio finito e c'� stata un'evacuazione alle 2.30 del mattino - a quanto pare qualcuno ha fatto saltare l'allarme fumando una sigaretta. Il personale ha offerto coperte e accappatoi a tutti gli ospiti infreddoliti (c'erano 6�) in attesa che i vigili del fuoco ci lasciassero rientrare. Per fortuna, l'albergo ha solo sei piani quindi andare gi� per le scale non � stato un problema. La seconda notte ci hanno spostato in una junior suite, un po' pi� grande ma senza vista dell'oceano. Un albergo piuttosto singolare, ma l'Hilton l� vicino sarebbe la mia scelta (se fosse leggermente migliorato) perch� � pi� vicino ai negozi e alla vita notturna.
Proprio quel che uno si aspetta da un Westin
Albergo fantastico come tutti i Westin. Il personale era gentile e disponibile. Efficiente in ogni modo. Atmosfera bellissima. Altamente raccomandato.
Auckland's best weekend
I just spent the weekend at the Westin in Auckland it delivered on all counts. The room was comfortable and well appointed .. only thing missing was a directory of hotel services in the room .. the bathroom lives up to the "heavenly" promise. Service was excellent throughout the hotel .. The executive lounge was a bit small but service and food served were excellent. The most impressive aspect for me was the fact that the buzz of the bar and restaurant made us want to stay in the hotel rather than venture out into the unknown. I absolutely loved restaurant - it looks stunning at night (too hard to explain the decor!) and the food and service are the perfect balance of relaxed yet 5 star ..
Just what you'd expect from a Westin!
Fantastic hotel, as Westins always are. The staff were friendly and helpful. Efficient in every way. Beautiful ambience. Would highly recommend...
Justo lo que se espera de un Westin
Un hotel fant�stico, como todos los Westin. El personal era amable y atento. Eficiente en todos los sentidos. Un ambiente precioso. Lo recomendar�a encarecidamente...
Fresh start to Auckland with non smoking policy
I had two nights at this new Westin property in Auckland. I received a very early check in of 6am and was immediately ugraded from a superioe to a deluxe room. Typical high standard Westin amenitiesm rain shower, plasma TV, deep bath, view of harbour. The hotel artwork are nice, and quite unique featuring local Maori works of art here and there. The executive lounge was nice, canapes and drinks served by very attentive staff. Breakfast in morning contential with no hot offering.
The hotel is not quite finshed yet and there was a fire evcuation at 2.30am Snday mn, apparantley someone was smoking and set off the alarm!!! The staff handed out blankles and robes to the cold guests (6c) while they waited for the fire brigdade to allow us back in. Fortunately, the hotel is only 6 stories so walk down and up stairs not too bad. Second night asked and was upgraded to a junior suite, which was bigger, but was liken to a goldfish bowl, no ocean view outlook here. Quite a unique hotel, but the nearby Hilton (if slightly upgraded) would be my preferred option as closer to shops and entertainment etc.

Parents, Educators Denounce Florida Voucher Scheme, Say Program Hurts Public Schools
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The Florida Supreme Court will hear arguments tomorrow on the constitutionality of Florida's school voucher program in a case that will determine whether the state can continue diverting much-needed tax dollars from neighborhood public schools to private, mostly church-run schools.
"My children and other public school students throughout Florida deserve a high quality education at their neighborhood public school," said plaintiff Susan Watson, whose two children Seth, 16, and Sybil, 13, attend Pensacola public schools. "Vouchers that force me to fund church-run schools are not the answer to address the real problems facing our public schools."
A broad coalition of groups including the Florida Congress of Parents and Teachers (Florida PTA), Florida Education Association, the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, the Florida NAACP, People for the American Way, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Congress has been challenging the Florida voucher scheme - known as the Opportunity Scholarship Program - since its inception in 1999.
In November 2004, the First District Court of Appeal ruled that the Florida Opportunity Scholarship Program represented a scheme by which government funds were used to support religious institutions, in violation of Florida's 137-year-old Constitutional prohibition specifically barring aid to religious institutions. The appeals court upheld two earlier decisions striking down vouchers that were issued by a three-judge panel of the same court and by the Leon County Circuit Court.
Although vouchers were initially only distributed to students in Escambia County schools, vouchers for private and church-run schools became available statewide during the 2003-2004 school year. The ACLU argues that because many of the participating schools are church-run schools, the voucher program has unconstitutionally transferred taxpayers' money to religious institutions.
"What is at stake in this case is one of the very essential founding principles of our government - that no one should be forced through the tax system to finance religious institutions whose beliefs they may not share," said attorney Ron Meyer, who is serving as co-counsel in the lawsuit. "Of course, it is profoundly important that parents have the right to send their children, at their own expense, to schools of their choice, including schools that share their religious values. However, taxpayers should not be forced to finance religious institutions with which they do not agree."
Although there are other programs in Florida that receive funding from religious institutions, including the corporate tax credit program and the McKay Scholarships for Students with Disabilities, the only issue before the Justices tomorrow is whether the voucher program violates the Florida Constitution.
A decision striking down vouchers in Florida will have no direct or immediate impact on any other state program, and will not jeopardize existing government contracts with religious, charitable and social service agencies, added Meyer.
"The outcome in this case will have a profound impact on Florida families who rely on the neighborhood public school for the formal education of their children," said Howard Simon, Executive Director of the ACLU of Florida.
"With the mandated reduction in class size that will ensure more individualized attention, and the new Universal Pre-K program that will ensure greater readiness for school, Florida is poised to make serious improvements in the education of our children," added Simon. "Ignoring Florida's constitutional tradition prohibiting aid to religious institutions and using taxpayer dollars to support church-run schools only serves to undermine these important reforms."
The case is Bush et al. v. Holmes et al. (No. SC 04-2323). Plaintiffs include the Florida NAACP, Florida Congress of Parents and Teachers (Florida PTA) and parents, educators and students in the public schools of Pensacola.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs include: Ronald G. Meyer, of Tallahassee, Robert H. Chanin, John M. West and Alice O'Brien, of Washington, D.C., Randall Marshall, Legal Director of the ACLU of Florida and Steve Shapiro, Legal Director, National ACLU, New York.

It may be July already, but summer is far from over! To drive this point home, take a listen to NEZZO & Summer School's "Shadows ft. RAS" (Chris James Remix).

This Chris James remix would fit in at a poolside BBQ just as well as it would make the floor shake on a dance floor; but no matter where you listen to it, you wont be able to keep a smile off of your face!

Why Choose Clementine Studio
Process over Product: We emphasize creation over replication, helping each artist to develop and express their unique artistic vision.
Artist's Choice: We have a saying, "You're the artist- you get to choose!" This is not a paint by the numbers kind of school- we color outside the lines!
Art is Smart: Studies show that process oriented art is vital for the healthy development of the brain (and lots of fun :D)
A Creative Life is a Healthy Life: The link between creativity and better physical and mental health is well established by research. Creating helps people to be happier, less anxious, more resilient and better equipped to problem solve in the face of adversity.
Summer is just around the bend...
As a former elementary school teacher, I can say without a doubt that Clementine is the best art studio in town. My two girls, ages 3 and 6, have done classes, camps, and birthday parties at Clementine. The wealth of kid perfect materials along with exactly the right balance of instruction and self guided exploration leads to amazing art and excellent creative experiences. In fact, we were in New York City this summer at the Children's Museum of Art, which has a similar structure, and I found myself thinking the whole time that Clementine did it better! We are so lucky to have this fabulous studio in Boulder.Sarah Weisman

Jim Davidson | July 1, 2014 | Comments
It's time for marketers and their partners to work together to enhance email and e-commerce programs. How can you connect the seemingly separate groups in your work life?
You probably have a few different circles of friends. No, I'm not talking about Google+ circles or those elementary school classmates you haven't seen in decades but have friended on Facebook. I mean groups of people you actually socialize with on a regular basis. Perhaps you have your book club buddies and your shopping gal pals. You get something out of each of these groups, such as a different take on the latest best-seller or which stores will have the best sales over the weekend. With those circles, the benefits really don't overlap that much, so you probably wouldn't think of asking your book club where to shop or your shopping group what they think about that wild plot twist.
This dynamic likely also occurs in your work life. You have various partners and vendors who all serve a particular purpose that benefits your company. Your schedule is probably filled with calls to each of the vendors to check in on campaign performance, receive updates on new product offerings, and review overall infrastructure. Having been on the vendor side for most of my career, I understand how these meetings benefit the client's business and strengthen the vendor-to-client bond, but it may be time to rethink how you interact with these groups.
In the past, it may have been up to you and your team to connect the core offerings of your partners into something useful. By "connect" I mean conceptualize, design, program, test, implement, and review...the whole shebang. For example, you would discuss how to optimize product pages and the checkout process with your e-commerce platform provider and then, in a separate discussion, talk to your email service provider about how to trigger emails to shoppers who are abandoning while shopping and checking out. Connecting those dots was up to you and your team. Not only does that translate into a lot of work for you and your team, but you would probably also miss some efficiencies in the implementation, resulting in a less-than-optimal solution.
While attending several e-commerce conferences this year, I have been blown away by the ways various marketing platforms are now working together. Your partners have been busy building bonds through turnkey integrations, apps, and other automated processes. I'm equally shocked by how many retailers are not taking advantage of these connections. It's like your book club and shopping gal pals got together for a fun night out and are dancing away in da club and you are sitting outside in your car. It's time for you to get in on the fun.
This is where a group therapy session between you and your partners will bring all of the orbiting circles together to find some overlapping strengths. Forgo formality and let your partners put an agenda together that highlights how to get the most from the combination of solutions. Your instinct may tell you that this sounds like an opportunity to be sold something. More likely, though, there are already tools available to you, that you're not using, which will make your life easier and drive sales.
With the first half of 2014 behind us and the holiday madness already starting to rumble, now is the time to start these conversations. Who wants to launch something new in the middle of the busiest time of year? As part of your early holiday planning, identify areas where you are spending too much time, such as building segments, analyzing data, or testing triggered messages. Make a list of those strategies you just haven't had the time to launch, such as product page abandonment reminders or an extended post-purchase series. Share these topics with your partners and let them do the heavy lifting to find ways they can work together to help you.

What kind of gourd is this.
Hi guys can anyone tell me what kind of gourd this is.
My good friend works for the extension service and she's horticulture/agronomy, but also happens to be a pumpkin enthusiast! I sent this to her and she says it's a caveman's club, also called a dinosaur club!
Yep, dried it myself, it hung in a nice dry dark basement, has never rotted. Shakes and rattles very nicely. Will haver to try and grow some next year!,,,
All this bottleneck Lagenarias with such hoolows or bumps in the skin of the bottle are called Marenka around the world or Cavemanôs club in North America.
While the link to harrisseeds shows the common dark green to blue variety, the first picture of this thread we can see bright skin.
This fruit might be Lagenaria siceraria 'Marenka Limegreen':

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Safety upgrades coming to intersection within three years
Local drivers say situation is worsening as traffic volume increases
Drivers heading to and from La Salle and Domain on PR 330 and the south Perimeter Highway will have a safer journey in a few years.
According to Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation, safety upgrades at the Perimeter and 330 are now in the design stage as part of a long-term plan to reconstruct the intersection.
Crews are expected to be on-site in the fall of 2014, and it is estimated the project will be completed in 2016. The project includes moving the intersection slightly further to the east, constructing a service road to allow safer access to businesses in the area, and upgrading the intersection with new traffic control lights.
While drivers who regularly use the Perimeter Highway as a fast route around Winnipeg's outer limits might not be happy about another traffic light to potentially slow them down, La Salle and Domain residents say the current situation is dangerous.
La Salle resident Brian Cornelsen calls the intersection "treacherous and completely unsafe."
"It is nearly impossible for a semi to make a left turn from PR 330 onto PTH 100 during heavy traffic. The proposed revisions to the intersection should be expedited," he said.
Drivers who are heading west on the Perimeter and turning left onto PR 330 must cross two eastbound lanes of often heavy traffic. There is no paved shoulder for eastbound drivers to safely slow down as they turn right from the Perimeter onto 330. These hazards are reflected in the numerous accidents that have occurred at the intersection.
"This topic is one that is often discussed between my husband, Sheldon, and myself," said La Salle resident and former RCMP officer Laurie Peddle. "We feel that the intersection is very unsafe. In fact, Sheldon witnessed an accident there last year. Sheldon and I will often change our route into Winnipeg to avoid making a left-hand turn."
Domain resident Ashley Kovacs said she also avoids taking that route into the city, using a gravel road to Oak Bluff instead.
"There are far too many high speed vehicles on the Perimeter making it nearly impossible to cross, especially at peak times. I do not feel safe turning left onto the Perimeter from Highway 330," she said.
La Salle's steady growth as a bedroom community is compounding the problem, as more people pass through the intersection on their way to and from work and school.
Longtime La Salle resident Larry Franz said he's watched the traffic volume increase steadily on the route he takes to and from work.
"Everybody says that it is just a matter of time before someone gets killed there. A moment of inattention or impatience trying to beat the oncoming cars and a T-bone collision will happen," he said.
"Probably putting traffic lights every couple of miles along the Perimeter is not great for through traffic, but something needs to happen at that corner."
A public open house was held in June 2011 at which four options were presented for reconstructing the intersection. Of the 100 people who attended, most chose the option of realigning PR 330 approximately 350 metres to the east of the current intersection and constructing a new section of 330 to the south.

By Kristyn Schwiep
Fast & Furious 6 star Jordana Brewster and husband Andrew Form recently welcomed a baby boy. According to People, the couple had their son Julian via a surrogate. And they're not done yet: They hope to add another child to their family someday. "I definitely want to have kids. I want two. I grew up with a sister, but I know Andrew would love boys. I'll take what I can get," the new mom said earlier this year.
What are some advantages of using a surrogate to have a child?
Cupid's Advice:
Using a surrogate to have a child is a great option for couples who want to have a baby but aren't able or ready to go through a pregnancy on their own. So what are some of the advantages of surrogacy? Here's what Cupid thinks:
1. You won't have to change your lifestyle: Does your career require that you be in tip-top shape? Or maybe you want to continue your fast-paced schedule until the baby arrives. Using a surrogate gives you another option besides adoption if you and your partner are having trouble getting pregnant or simply don't want to slow down quite yet.
2. You can still have a biological child: If you are having trouble conceiving naturally, using a surrogate allows you to be genetically-related to your child. It's a great alternative to adoption.
3. It allows same-gender couples to have a child:Â If you are in a same-gender relationship and are ready to have a baby with your partner, this is a great option for you to expand your family.
What are the advantages of using a surrogate? Share your thoughts below.

33 year old woman | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking men 28-35 within 50 miles
About me, I'm just me. Sound really cheesy, sorry. But I love to laugh and love to love. I try to take on new things with an open heart and an open mind. It usually doesnt take much to please me, I can have the greatest time just sitting on the couch. Although I'm cute, I'm pretty sure it's usually my personality that wins people over with me. I have 3 dogs, Baby an 11yo cocker spaniel, Daisy a 9yo yellow lab, and Cujo a 5yo yorkie/chihuahua mix (she's fierce). I dont have kids, but have a 4yo nephew who I love so very much. I'm a mail carrier, so my job keeps me active, but it's not the only work out I like to get in. What I'm looking for in a partner is someone I can share it all with, laughs, tears, memories...everything. I want my relationship to be with my best friend who I WANT to do everything with. Someone I can lean on and know how to support them as well. It's hard to put in words what it is that will cause a "spark", but that's what I'm looking for.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Basketball, Bowling, Cycling, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Birds, Dogs
I like Cats
Middle of the Road
I don't have any places that I'd say are my favorite. I usually like to try new and different things.
When I watch tv, I usually like sitcom re-runs
Relaxing is by far my favorite thing to do in my free time. Whether having drinks with friends, sitting on the couch watching a movie, cooking, or going out and finding something fun to do in Austin!
I haven't had much time for reading lately, but I love Nicholas Sparks. I usually stick to fiction, but sometimes am interested by true crime

A stabilized power supply which is particularly suitable for use at very high voltages derives its energy from a resonant inverter feeding a transformer and rectifier. The power supply is intended to be operated in a pulsed mode with the generation of each pulse reducing the output voltage below its required value. The output capacitive stages of the power supply are subsequently re-charged and an input switch is rendered non-conductive when the output voltage regains its required value. As it is not possible to switch off a resonant inverter during the course of a cycle, the energy obtained from the inverter during the remainder of the current cycle is fed into another capacitive stage. The second stage may also be utilized as an unregulated output rail of the power supply. The invention is particularly suitable for power travelling wave tube amplifiers.
1. A stabilised power supply including a resonant inverter circuit arranged to generate an a.c. voltage from input d.c. power applied to it; a transformer for receiving the a.c. voltage and transforming it to a different a.c. voltage; a rectifier for converting the a.c. voltage to a corresponding d.c. voltage; and first and second capacitive smoothing stages which are charged by said d.c voltage and connected to said rectifier in series, with a controllable switch being positioned between the two stages; means for monitoring the voltage on the second capacitive stage and for rendering said switch non-conductive when said d.c. voltage reaches a reference level and for maintaining the switch open until the completion of the current cycle of the resonant inverter.
2. A power supply as claimed in claim 1 and wherein the inverter is turned off at the end of its current cycle.
3. A power supply as claimed in claim 1 and wherein said switch is maintained non-conductive whilst said d.c. voltage equals or exceeds said reference level.
4. A power supply as claimed in claim 1 and wherein a predetermined porportion of said d.c. voltage is compared with a low threshold value, and the result of said comparison is used to control the conduction state of said switch.
5. A power supply as claimed in claim 4 and wherein the potential on said switch is allowed to float relative to earth potential, and wherein said control is applied via an electrically isolating optical signal path.
6. A power supply as claimed in claim 4 and wherein the result of said comparision is also used to turn off the inverter at the end of its current cycle.
7. A power supply as claimed in claim 1 and wherein two output voltages relative to earth are provided, the value of one of the voltages being stabilised at a predetermined value by means of said switch.
8. A power supply as claimed in claim 7 and wherein the second capacitive smoothing stage is connected between a floating potential point having a value very close to earth potential and the output point at which said stabilised voltage is provided.
9. A power supply as claimed in claim 8 and wherein said first capacitive smoothing stage comprises two capacitors, one being coupled between points at which said two output voltages are respectively provided, and the other capacitor being coupled between the input of said switch and the other of said output voltages.
10. A power supply as claimed in claim 1 and which is coupled to a travelling wave tube amplifier so as to enable a pulsed output to be obtained therefrom.
This invention relates to stabilised power supplies and is particularly applicable to power supplies in which a current derived from an inverter circuit is used to charge an output capacitor to a required voltage level.
According to this invention, a stabilised power supply includes a resonant inverter circuit arranged to generate an a.c. voltage from input d.c. power applied to it; a transformer for receiving the a.c. voltage and transforming it to a different a.c. voltage; a rectifier for converting the a.c. voltage to a corresponding d.c. voltage; and first and second capacitive smoothing stages which are charged by said d.c. voltage and connected to said rectifier in series, with a controllable switch being positioned between the two stages; means for monitoring the voltage on the second capacitive stage and for rendering said switch non-conductive when said d.c. voltage reaches a reference level and for maintaining the switch open until the completion of the current cycle of the resonant inverter.
The provision of the controllable switch enables the size of the two capacitive stages to be much reduced as compared with that which would be required in the absence of the switch in order to achieve a comparable degree of output voltage regulation.
A resonant inverter circuit suffers from the disadvantage that it cannot be turned off during the course of a resonant cycle, but only at the end of a cycle when its output voltage becomes substantially zero. Thus, in practice, the a.c. voltage applied to the transformer by the inverter consists of an integral number of complete a.c. cycles. The capacitive smoothing stages are charged by the rectified d.c. voltage and when output current is not being drawn from the power supply, each cycle of the resonant inverter circuit causes the voltage to the capacitive stages to increase by a particular increment. For some applications, the size of the increment may be greatly in excess of the degree of regulation which is required in the output voltage and in effect the present invention enables a stabilised d.c. voltage to be obtained from a power supply which utilises a resonant inverter, by producing an output which is not necessarily integrally related to the output of the inverter.
The invention is further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
FIG. 1 is a stabilised power supply in accordance with the present invention,
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram relating to the operation of the power supply and
FIG. 3 shows aa modified power supply.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown therein a stabilised power supply which is arranged to supply power to a travelling wave tube amplifier 1. Travelling wave tubes require the application of very high d.c. voltages. The casing 2 of the slow wave structure of the travelling wave tube 1 is held at earth potential and the cathode 3 is held at -60 kVs in this example. The collector 4 is held at -20 kVs and whilst the permissible voltage variation on the collector is relatively large, the voltage on the cathode 3 is permitted to vary by only a very small amount, typically about 20 volts. This imposes very stringent design considerations on the stabilised power supply at which the required stabilised voltages are generated.
The power supply itself derives its power via a resonant inverter 5, which receives d.c. voltage via terminals 6 and 7 at a relatively low level, typically about 600 volts d.c. The inverter is of the resonant kind and operates typically at a frequency of 10 kHz. That is to say, the inverter operates to chop the applied d.c. voltage at this frequency and to apply the resulting a.c. voltage to the primary winding of a transformer 8. The resonant inverter 5 is of the kind which utilises switchable thyristors, and, as is known, once a thyristor has been triggered into conduction it cannot be rendered non-conductive until the voltage appearing across it has reduced to substantially zero. The a.c. voltage generated at the inverter 5 and applied to the primary winding of the transformer 8 is stepped up by means of the transformer turns ratio to the appropriate required a.c. voltage level. This a.c. voltage is rectified by a rectifier circuit 9 and the resulting d.c. voltages are applied to the travelling wave tube 1.
The travelling wave tube 1 is not operated continuously but is instead arranged to produce a system of short output pulses. This means that the duty ratio of the travelling wave tube is relatively low, but that whilst output pulses are being generated, the power requirements of the travelling wave output are very large indeed. In order to provide short bursts of high power to the travelling wave tube, large capacitive smoothing stages are provided between the rectifier circuit 9 and the travelling wave tube 1 itself. The capacitive smoothing stages are partially discharged when the travelling wave tube is fired into conduction--typically the output voltage may reduce by about 500 volts at the cathode 3 whilst an output pulse is being generated. Subsequently the capacitive smoothing stages are re-charged from the inverter 5 via the transformer 8 and rectifier 9. The first capacitive smoothing stage comprises a capacitor C1 connected between the output point 10 of the rectifier and the collector line 11 and also the capacitor C2 connected directly between the collector line 11 and the cathode line 12. A second capacitive smoothing stage comprises a single large capacitor C3 connected directly between the cathode line 12 and the output line 10.
A stabiliser switch 13 is connected between the two capacitive stages and its purpose is to disconnect the second capacitive stage C3 when the voltage on the cathode 3 reaches it predetermined operating value. The potential on the cathode 3 is monitored at a monitor point 14 of a potentiometer formed by resistors 15 and 16. The resistor 15 has an extremely high value as compared with the resistor 16, since whereas the required operating voltage on the cathode is -60 kVs, the corresponding voltage on the monitor point 14 is typically about 6 volts. The monitor point 14 is compared with a reference level 17 at a comparator 18, the output of which is used to control the operation of the inverter 5 and the stabiliser switch 13.
A current monitor device 19 is positioned between the stabiliser switch 13 and the casing 2, so that the travelling wave tube 1 can be disconnected if an appreciable current flows in this line under fault conditions. Because of the presence of the current monitor 19 the stabiliser switch 13 is not earthed and consequently the control signal to the stabiliser swtich 13 is applied via an optical link 20, as this enables electrical isolation to be preserved. The power supplies for operating the stabiliser switch 13 are themselves floating--that is to say they are a.c. coupled. The operation of the stabiliser switch 13 can be inhibited via an input terminal 21, which is coupled to the output of the comparator 18 at an AND gate 22.
It may be necessary for the travelling wave tube 1 to produce a rapid sequence of output pulses, and since the generation of each pulse causes the charge at the capacitive smoothing stages to partially decay these stages must be rapidly re-charged before the next following pulse is required. In order to meet this requirement, it is arranged that the voltage on line 12 rises by about 60 volts for each cycle of the inverter which is fed into the transformer 8. As previously mentioned, the operating frequency of the inverter 5 is about 10 kHz--consequently the period of each cycle is about 50 microseconds. Thus, if the regulation of the output d.c. voltage were to be achieved solely by controlling the operation of the inverter 5, the resolution obtainable would be much too coarse. Consequently, the comparator 18 detects instantaneously when the second capacitive stage C3 has reached the required operating voltage of -60 kVs and renders the stabiliser switch 13 non-conductive. An inhibit signal is applied to the inverter 5 at the same time, but the inhibit signal does not take effect until the end of the current cycle of the inverter 5 has been reached. When the stabiliser switch 13 is rendered non-conductive, the energy generated during the remainder of the current cycle of the inverter 5 is fed wholly into the first capacitive stage consisting of capacitors C1 and C2. The voltage regulation requirements of the collector 4 are much less stringent than those for the cathode 3 and the resulting variations of this d.c. output voltage are quite acceptable.
The operation of FIG. 1 is explained in more detail with reference fo FIG. 2. It is assumed that at time t0, the preceding output pulse of the travelling wave tube 1 has just terminated and the voltage V1 on capacitor C3 is rising steady to regain its required value.
It reaches its required value V1 at time t1 when the voltage at the monitor point 14 equals the reference level 17. At time t1 the comparator 18 renders the stabiliser switch 13 non-conductive so that the voltage on capacitor C3 remains at its required value. At the same time the comparator output is used to inhibit operation of the inverter 5, and this takes effect at time t2 when the end of the current inverter cycle is reached. During the remainder of the current cycle of the inverter the whole of the output from the rectifier 9 is fed solely into the first smoothing stage comprising capacitors C1 and C2 so their voltage V3 increases more rapidly until time t2 when the output from the inverter 5 ceases. During the time t1 to t2 the output point 10 of the rectifier 9 is no longer coupled to earth via the current monitor 19, and consequently its potential V2 rises. The voltages V1, V2 and V3 remain constant until the commencement at time t3 of the next output pulse from the travelling wave tube 1. During the output pulse the voltage V1 drops from its nominal value of -60 kV as capacitor C3 is partially discharged. During this time voltage V2 drops as the diode 23 is reversed biassed - the diode 23 is present to prevent the collector 4 becoming positive with respect to earth at any time as this condition could damage the travelling wave tube 1.
The drop in voltage V1 is detected at the comparator 17, which re-starts the inverter 5 and renders the stabiliser switch 13 conductive again. The voltage V2 than returns to a nominal earth value, and voltage V1 begins to recover to its required value, and the sequence of events repeats. In generate the value of V2 at time t2 will be different for each switching cycle since it depends on the proportion of the inverter cycle time remaining at time t1 when the required output voltage V1 is regained. It will thus be apparent that the maximum variation in voltage V2 corresponds to the maximum possible value to t1 to t2 which is one cycle period of inverter 5. During the sequence of events illustrated in FIG. 2, the switch 13 is not inhibited via terminal 21, so that switch 13 is free to respond to the output of the comparator 18.
Because capacitors C1, C2 and C3 operate at very high voltages it is necessary to immerse them in an electrically insulating oil, and their physical size is very much less than would be required in the absence of the switch 13, as in the absence of this switch the capacitive smoothing stages would have to be sufficiently large so that the voltage V1 increased slowly enough to be within a required output voltage range at the end of an inverter cycle. The use of the switch 13 also permits the voltage V1 to stabilise much more rapidly from zero when the power supply is initially switched on.
FIG. 3 shows a modified power supply in which only a single voltage rail is required for utilisation by a pulsed output load. Similar reference numerals are used to denote equivalent components, and the mode of operation is analogous to the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, except of course that the voltage on the first smoothing stage, represented by capacitor C1, is not utilised as an output voltage.
