20080230639 | Interlock System - The invention provides an interlock system whereby operation of a domestic appliance such as a food processor containing an electric motor capable of driving a bladed or similar processing tool at relatively high speed is inhibited unless a vessel having a first or a second base configuration is securely mounted to the appliance so as to contain the tool; the vessel having a lid or cover intended to be in place for safe operation when the processing tool is driven by the motor. A vessel-supporting surface of the appliance carries several up-standing latches, each of which is formed with features capable of co-operating with vessels having either of the base configurations to temporarily latch either type of vessel operationally to the appliance. At least one of the latches is formed with first and second apertures allowing operational access for respective interlock actuators responsive to the lid or cover of a vessel being in place as intended, to an interlock switch whereby electrical current is permitted to flow to the motor only when a vessel having one or other of the different base configurations is latched to the appliance and the vessel is safely closed by its lid or cover. | 09-25-2008 |
20100206701 | INTERLOCK SYSTEM - An interlock system for actuating a switch to interrupt a flow of electrical current to a component of a domestic electrical appliance is described. The current is interrupted unless a sensor indicates that the appliance is in a safe condition, and the system includes a rod-like member which is turned about its own axis through at least a predetermined angle, when the appliance is safe, to actuate the switch to permit current to flow. The safe condition is typified by the secure placement of a lid or cover on a receptacle in a manner intended for operation of the appliance. Moreover, the lid or cover for the receptacle may be formed with an upstanding, chimney-like feed-tube through which food items can be added for processing in the receptacle, and a “pusher” device, sized to fit closely within the feed tube, is further provided, by means of which a user can urge foodstuffs into the receptacle for processing. In such circumstances, and where a feed-tube is of relatively wide dimensions is employed to enable relatively bulky food items to be added to the receptacle, the system senses not only that the lid or cover is in place, but also that a pusher device has been inserted into the feed-tube, before the switch can be actuated. | 08-19-2010 |

20080294929 | Data processing apparatus and method for controlling a transfer of payload data over a communication channel - A data processing apparatus and method are provided for controlling a transfer of payload data over a communication channel. The data processing apparatus has initiator circuitry for initiating a transfer of payload data in a first clock cycle, and recipient circuitry for receiving the payload data the subject of the transfer in a later clock cycle. A communication channel is provided over which the payload data is passed from the initiator circuitry to the recipient circuitry along with associated transfer control information, timing of receipt of the payload data by the recipient circuitry being controlled by the transfer control information. Timing easing circuitry located within the communication channel is then used to temporarily buffer at least the transfer control information generated by the initiator circuitry before outputting that transfer control information to the recipient circuitry. The timing easing circuitry is responsive to a specified timing easing value to determine a time for which the transfer control information is temporarily buffered, whereby the number of clock cycles that elapse between the first clock cycle and the later clock cycle is dependent on the specified timing easing value. This hence enables a multi-cycle path to be provided for the transfer of payload data from the initiator circuitry to the recipient circuitry. | 11-27-2008 |

The data processing apparatus has a plurality of logic elements, at least one of the logic elements being an initiator logic element for initiating transfers, and at least one of the logic elements being a recipient logic element for receiving transfers. A communication path is provided between an initiator logic element and a recipient logic element to enable payload data the subject of a transfer to be passed from the initiator logic element to the recipient logic element. The communication path has at least one buffer circuit provided therein for propagating at least the payload data along the communication path. Further, a power control circuit is associated with the at least one buffer circuit, which is responsive to a control signal indicating whether the payload data on the communication path is valid. If the control signal indicates that the payload data is not valid, the power control circuit causes the associated at least one buffer circuit to enter a power saving state. The control signal is derived from at least one pre-existing signal associated with the transfer. This has been found to provide a particularly efficient and flexible technique for reducing leakage current in buffer circuits within the data processing apparatus. | 12-03-2009 |

20130113897 | PROCESS AND ARRANGEMENT FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION OF A MEASURING POINT IN GEOMETRICAL SPACE - The computerised determination of the position of a measuring point M to be surveyed in three-dimensional space requires two reference points PI and PII with known space coordinates, a digital video camera with an image-capturing sensor and a computer with a screen. The camera is positioned at reference point PI. In this position, it can be rotated to two different alignment positions PI* and PI**. In the first of these rotation positions PI*, the screen shows (among other things) the depiction PII′ of the second reference point PII lying at a distance and a number of marking points (P1′, P2′, PT, P4′, P5′, . . . ) which are marked by abrupt changes in the brightness profile of the image. In the second rotation position PI**, only certain marking points (P1″, P2″, P3″, . . . ) selected according to certain criteria are shown as well as the measuring point M to be surveyed. The position of an imaginary beam in geometrical space, on which the measuring point M and the reference point PI are located, is then calculated from these screen images. Its (M) absolute space coordinates can be calculated from the direction of the beam and the distance value (of PI from M). | 05-09-2013 |

20110123420 | PROCESS FOR THE FORMULATION OF POTASSIUM CHLORIDE FROM A CARNALLITE SOURCE - A process for formulating high purity potassium chloride from a carnallite source. The process takes advantage of solubility differences and saturation levels in a multiple salt system generated upon dissolution of carnallite. In the system, the sodium chloride is kept in solution and the magnesium chloride present in the system is controlled to be in a concentration range of between 12% and 25% by weight. This avoids co-precipitation of sodium chloride with the potassium chloride during crystallization and therefore prevents the sodium chloride from contaminating the potassium chloride. The result is high grade potassium chloride. | 05-26-2011 |

20110244442 | VIDEO WHITEBOARD APPARATUS AND METHOD - Embodiments of the present invention include an apparatus and method for capturing marker or pen strokes on a whiteboard, and creating output video signal that shows how the contents of the whiteboard changes over time during a lecture or presentation. A conventional whiteboard surface is used. Conventional whiteboard tools, such markers, are fit with holders or adapters to allow their state (e.g., marker color, marker up, marker down, marker position) to be sensed as human interface device (HID) events. Other parameters affecting how the output video may be entered through a whiteboard user interface. HID events are converted into video output signal by a whiteboard video generator, using the HID events to maintain an up-to-date representation of the cumulative state of the whiteboard surface. This cumulative state is regularly transmitted as digital and/or analog signal to output ports. At any time, a snapshot of the current state of the whiteboard can be saved by a user to an external storage device, such as a flash drive, as an image (e.g., JPEG) file.
