Title: Power supply for a load control device
Inventor: WU CHEN MING
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 2006-06-06
Abstract: .A power supply for a load control device is disposed in series with an AC  voltage source and a load and generates a substantially DC voltage for powering a controller of the load control device. The power supply is operable to provide substantially all voltage provided by the AC voltage source to the load and includes a controllably conductive device, a triggering device, and a charging circuit. The charging circuit is operable to charge an energy storage device and to conduct current to the load when the controllably conductive device is non-conductive. The controllably conductive device begins conducting the full load current when the energy storage device has charged to a predetermined amount of energy. Before the controllably conductive device begins to conduct, only a minimal voltage, which is substantially the same as the break-over voltage of the triggering circuit, develops across the power supply to allow the energy storage device to charge.

Abstract: The invention relates to removing hydrocarbons from a vapour-gas medium which is formed during the oil or gasoline storage or while filling reservoirs therewith and is released to the atmosphere. Said invention can be used in a pumping-ejection unit. The inventive method consists in pumping off and compressing the vapour-gas medium in a liquid-gas jet device (2) by using the energy of oil or gasoline supplied by a pump (1), in separating the thus obtained mixture in a separator (3), in compressing a gas received from the separator (3) in a jet device (5) by the oil or gasoline supplied by a pump (4), in separating the thus obtained mixture is separator (17), in compressing the gas received from the separator (17) in a jet device (16) with the aid of an absorbent supplied by the pump (6), the thus formed mixture is separated in a separator (18) at a pressure maintained within a range of 0.7-2.5 MPa, in discharging a hydrocarbon-free gas medium and in transferring a saturated absorbent to a desorber (7), in which a pressure less than the pressure in the separator (18) is formed, in supplying the regenerated absorbent to the input of the pump (6), in discharging a liquid medium from the separators (3, 17) to a fillable reservoir or to a storage tank (11) from which the oil or gasoline is simultaneously supplied to the input of the pumps (1, 4) or to the separators (3, 17). Said unit can also comprise an additional jet device (31) and a preliminary desorber (35) which is connectable to the separator (18) by the liquid input and to the separator (18) by the gaseous hydrocarbon output thereof. The invention makes it possible to reduce the oil or gasoline losses and the energy consumption and to increase the degree of hydrocarbon removal from the vapour-gas medium which is released to the atmosphere and is formed during the oil or gasoline storage or while filling reservoirs therewith.

Abstract: There is disclosed systems and methods for retrieving files from a file server using file attributes. In one embodiment, an. audio file server is accessed to retrieve prerecorded audio files using file attributes. In one embodiment, the HTTP protocol is used by adding query attributes, such as a text version of the desired message, along with other required attributes of the audio file, to the audio file server. The audio file server accepts the attributes, including the message text attributes and parses them to resolve which audio (.wav) message to retrieve. The retrieved audio file is then returned to the voice browser, which normally plays the message. In this way, IVR application developers can specify the content, speaker, language, dialect, emotion, and other attributes of a required audio file utilizing standard voice browsers to access audio files.

Abstract: A computer implemented system provides a method of conducting a financial transaction. The method begins when the system assigns a designator of a value using a preauthorization by a payor. The system associates the payor with an authorized payor telephone identifier. When the system receives a telephone call with the authorized payor telephone identifier at a specified Direct Inward Dial (DID) telephone number associated with a transaction type, the system responds by sending at least one transaction code to the payor. When the system receives the transaction code from the payee, the designator of value is re-assigned to from the payor to the payee. The system allows the transaction code to be delivered directly from the payor to the payee or sent automatically to the payee. Each DID telephone number represents different transaction types such as Automatic Teller Machine (ATM), Person-To-Person (P2P), merchant transactions, vending transactions and other types of transactions.
