Inventor: YADLAPALLI NAVEEN
IPC: H05B41/288
Filed: 2009-06-23
Abstract: A ballast (10) for powering one or more gas discharge lamps (30,40) includes an inverter (100), an output circuit (200), a filament heating control circuit (300), and a control circuit (500).  During a lamp filament detection period prior to startup of inverter (100), control circuit (500) monitors a signal within output circuit (200) in order to determine the number of lamps with intact filaments that are present at the ballast output connections (202,204,...,210,212). During a lamp type detection period following startup of inverter (100), control circuit (500) monitors a current within filament heating control circuit (300) in order to determine the type of lamp(s) present at ballast output connections (202,204,...,210,212). The determinations as to the number of lamps and the type of lamps are utilized by control circuit (500) to provide an appropriate level of heating to the lamp filaments.  Preferably, control circuit (500) is realized by a microcontroller that is programmed with data relating to the different lamp types that may be powered by ballast (10).

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate avoidance of duplicative resource allocation and/or erroneous service charges via unambiguously indicating an entity responsible for quality of service (QoS) initiation.  In one example, an indication is provided to a mobile device to indicate a preference for network-initiated QoS or a preference for device -initiated QoS. QoS for a data flow can be established in accordance with the indication. For instance, the mobile device initiates QoS when the indication specifies a preference for device-initiated QoS while a network establishes QoS when the indication specifies a preference for network-initiated QoS.

Abstract: The finger sleeve hair curler tool is a cloth hair curling tool accessorized with a removable curl template spool. It provides an improved method of hair curling and also functions as a novel hair accessory and ponytail holder. Piece 1 is a finger-sized fabric sleeve which is closed on one end; the open end flaring to create two lobed appendages beyond the rim of the opening, each of which has a fingertip fastener aperture. The user slips the sleeve over an index finger, coils a hair section around the sleeved finger, and secures the hair within the curler via the fingertip fastener apertures using a variety of techniques for the desired results.  Piece 2 of the system is a rigid finger-shaped curl template spool which the user may alternately use as a framework to slip the fabric sleeve over, thus accommodating a greater range of hair-rolling techniques and results.

Title: Famille de dispositifs de fixation a conicite variable
Inventor: GUERIN NICOLAS

Abstract: Famille de dispositifs de fixation à conicité variable. Dans l'état de la technique, il existe une multitude de familles de perçage et de longueur, par repère de diamètre de fixation, contrairement aux fixations à partie lisse cylindrique pour lesquelles un outillage unique est suffisant. L'homme du métier doit prévoir l'outil et le dispositif adéquats pour chaque épaisseur d'élément à serrer, ce qui représente un coût en outillage important et également une perte de temps due au changement d'outillage. Dans l'invention, on a eu l'idée d'adapter un taux de conicité (C1; C2) du dispositif (1; 20) en fonction de l'épaisseur à serrer (12; 31). De préférence, le taux de conicité des douilles est compris entre 1% et 4%. Ainsi, avec trois ou quatre jeux de références de dispositifs de même diamètre extérieur (16A; 16C), mais de taux de conicité différent, on peut serrer toutes les épaisseurs d'éléments envisageables, sans modifier le diamètre d'alésage des éléments à assembler.
