The present invention further relates to a plug for connecting a socket to an electronic device and to a system comprising a plug and a socket. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090278702 | ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING OF APPARATUSES - In an arrangement and associated method for positioning of apparatuses (in particular of a C-arm), the position and orientation of a C-arm and of a pointer instrument are determined by a navigation system, and an alignment of the C-arm is conducted based on the orientation of the pointer apparatus. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20110316714 | Method and laser receiver for acoustically indicating a laser beam - A laser receiver ( | 12-29-2011 |
| 20140097960 | Alarm systems and methods for preventing improper lifting of tubular members - Systems and methods for preventing improper lifting of tubular members are described, in which sensing devices are used to detect when a tubular reaches a selected position within a lifting device suitable for engagement, and/or to detect when a lifting operation is initiated that would exceed the capacity of a lifting device. Operators are engaged with the tubular member and provided with a preselected force corresponding to the weight of one or more tubular members, such that when the weight of a lifting operation exceeds the preselected force, an audible device can be actuated responsive to sensor output, to immediately alert individuals, such that the improper lifting operation can be halted. Similarly, an audible device can be actuated responsive to sensor output when a tubular member reaches a selected position within the lifting device, such that additional movement can be ceased. | 04-10-2014 |
| 20150097691 | METHOD FOR PREVENTING INPUT ON AN APPARATUS HAVING A USER INTERFACE - A method for preventing input and/or interaction on an apparatus having a user interface (UI) with input elements located on a door rotatable about an axis relative to an earth horizontal, the method includes detecting the horizontal position of the door and disabling input from the UI input elements based on the horizontal position of the door. | 04-09-2015 |
| 20160079102 | MANUFACTURING METHOD OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes determining a position of a first semiconductor chip having a plurality of first electrodes, using one or more first alignment marks formed on the first semiconductor chip, determining a position of a second semiconductor chip having a plurality of second electrodes, using one or more second alignment marks formed on the second semiconductor chip, moving the second semiconductor chip relative to the first semiconductor chip, based on the determined positions of the first and second semiconductor chips, such that the second electrodes are aligned with the first electrodes, after said moving, stacking the second semiconductor chip on the first semiconductor chip, such that the first electrodes are electrically connected to the second electrodes, and calculating a misalignment amount between the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip stacked thereon. | 03-17-2016 |
| 20160105051 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED WIRELESS CHARGING EFFICIENCY - A method, apparatus and computer program product for wireless charging are provided. An indicator displayed on a wireless device may assist a user in placing the device in a more efficient position on a wireless charger. The indicator may comprise an image, and moving the device such that the image aligns with an image on a wireless charger places the device is in a more efficient charging position. Other types of indicators may be displayed to assist a user in moving a device to a more efficient position on the wireless charger. | 04-14-2016 |
