20080230542 | Item Counting Device for Container Lid - A container closure that counts items inserted into the container is disclosed. The closure includes a lid structure that has a container sealing means around a perimeter thereof and an aperture traversing the lid structure. A flap is adapted to substantially seal the aperture and is fixed with a hinge at one edge thereof to a bottom side of the lid structure. A counting mechanism is fixed to the lid structure and includes an actuating lever having an actuator linkage fixed to the flap. The counting mechanism is adapted to increment a counter of the counting mechanism when the flap is moved from a closed position towards an open position. Preferably the actuator linkage is a coil spring such that the flap only needs to travel a short distance towards its open position to actuate the actuating lever. Thereafter, once the actuator linkage has pulled the actuating lever into its actuating position and the counter has been incremented, the coil spring expands as necessary to permit the item to traverse the aperture between the flap and the lid structure. | 09-25-2008 |

The system comprises serving one or more clients connected via a switch router over a network to one or more network gateways. The switch router forwards packets to the VIP address of a first network gateway. If the first network gateway determines a VIP address migration criteria has been reached, the first network gateway may migrate any new traffic associated with a packet flow over to a second network gateway for more efficient processing by inserting a default flow code into the header of the VIP address of the packet. Older packets continue to process on the first network gateway, however new packets are forwarded and processed on the second network gateway. Once the packets being processed on the first network gateway completes, the second network gateway becomes the default network gateway for processing existing and new packets. | 11-14-2013 |

20150015482 | LOW INTERFERENCE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZATION, IDENTIFICATION AND TRACKING OF VISUAL AND INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS - A visual system includes one or more units, where each unit is a displaying unit or a video camera, or a combination of both, and each unit has a receiver. The unit has a transmitter which starts transmitting infrequent, short repetitive bursts if no bursts are received by the receiver; and otherwise transmits a delayed short burst synchronized to the infrequent, short repetitive bursts by the transmitter, in order to synchronize all units in the visual system to each other, while the infrequent, short repetitive bursts will not interfere nor will be interfered by the general use of remote controllers for other purposes. | 01-15-2015 |
20150205345 | POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD OF POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM - A projection system includes a light emitting apparatus that emits detection light to a detection area for detecting indication positions of indicators, and a projector that detects the indication positions of the indicators in the detection area. The projector includes an imaging portion that captures an image of the detection area, and a position detection portion that detects at least one of an image of light generated by the indicator and an image of the detection light reflected on the indicator from data of a captured image of the imaging portion, and discriminates and detects the indication positions of the indicator and the indicator based on light emission timings of the indicator and the light emitting apparatus. | 07-23-2015 |

20150060084 | AUTONOMOUS FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY - A technique facilitates regulation of flow through a flow control device to improve a well operation, such as a production operation. The technique utilizes a flow control device which has a valve positioned in a housing for movement between flow positions. The different flow positions allow different levels of flow through a primary flow port. At least one flow regulation element is used in cooperation with and in series with the valve to establish a differential pressure acting on the valve. The differential pressure is a function of fluid properties and is used to autonomously actuate the flow control device to an improved flow position. | 03-05-2015 |

20160061004 | AUTONOMOUS FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY - A technique facilitates regulation of flow through a flow control device to improve a well operation, such as a production operation. The technique utilizes a flow control device which has a valve positioned in a housing for movement between flow positions. The different flow positions allow different levels of flow through a primary flow port. At least one flow regulation element, e.g. a Venturi based flow regulation element, is used in a control line in communication with the valve to establish a differential pressure acting on the valve. The differential pressure is a function of fluid properties and is used to autonomously actuate the flow control device to an improved flow position. | 03-03-2016 |

20140035504 | Subsea Measurement And Monitoring - A method for monitoring at least one subsea electric machine supplied by a system for electric power transmission. The system has a power supply, a controller and an AC power line connecting the at least one machine with the power supply. The method includes the steps of: receiving at the controller, high speed data from at least one subsea sensor arranged between the subsea side of the AC power line and the at least one subsea electric machine, wherein the high speed data includes measurements of an electrical parameter for the at least one machine; and comparing the one or more measurements to a predetermined value. A system for electric power transmission arranged for operating at least one subsea load or electric machine is also described. | 02-06-2014 |
20150263720 | SWITCHING DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING AN ELECTRIC LOAD - A switching device is provided for disconnecting or connecting an electric machine, a converter or a plurality of electrical loads supplied with AC power from a power supply and controlled by a control unit. The switching device includes a current sink and at least one mechanical switch in the switching device are arranged in a circuit. The current sink is arranged, upon receipt of a signal, to close and sink the current, and the at least one mechanical switch is arranged to open and break the current on receipt of a signal to open supplied to the electric machine when the current load is at or close to zero. A method and a computer program for carrying out the method are described. | 09-17-2015 |
