[The] operation of an active device which is biased almost to output-current cut-off so that current flows only during one half of each cycle of sinusoidal input signal, i.e. the angle of flow is 180°. 3, record 2, English, - class%2DB%20operation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[The class-B] mode of operation... is very efficient because the mean current of the active device is directly proportional to the signal amplitude and is almost zero for zero input signal. The output signal is... a reproduction of only one half of each cycle of input signal but linear amplification is possible by using two class-B stages in push-pull operation and most of the output stages in transistor amplifiers and receivers are of this type. 3, record 2, English, - class%2DB%20operation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The theoretical efficiency of a class-B stage (measured by the ratio of the output power to the power taken from the supply) is 78% and efficiencies approaching this value can be obtained in practice. 3, record 2, English, - class%2DB%20operation

L'amplification d'un signal à enveloppe variable par un TEC [transistor à effet de champ] fonctionnant en classe A résultent de faibles performances en rendement. Le fonctionnement en classe B permet une forte amélioration du rendement mais au détriment d'une réduction du gain en puissance. La classe A permet de conserver le gain de la classe A en permettant d'atteindre un niveau de rendement pratiquement égal à celui obtenu en classe B. 2, record 2, French, - fonctionnement%20en%20classe%20B

The real innovation has occurred in the Liebherr actuator, which safely converts the quadruplex electronic command signal into a single mechanical output to the powered control unit valve. The exact layout is subject to patents, but the system drives a common output shaft by means of three fully independent, parallel actuators and uses electronic modelling to achieve double fail operational safety. The system has shown no hysteresis, minimal thresholds and almost zero transients. 1, record 3, English, - Liebherr%20actuator

La véritable innovation réside dans l'actionneur Liebherr, qui convertit en toute sécurité les signaux de commande électroniques en un mouvement mécanique unique, qui est transmis aux valves des servocommandes. La conception du système fait l'objet de demandes de brevets; on peut dire toutefois qu'il entraîne un arbre commun de sortie à l'aide de trois actionneurs parallèles totalement indépendants les uns des autres et comporte une double sûreté intégrée, grâce à l'emploi de modèles électroniques. Il n'y a pas d'effet d'hystérésis, ni de seuils minima ni pratiquement de perturbations transitoires. 1, record 3, French, - actionneur%20Liebherr
