Abstract: A motorized window shade system (30) is described in which electrostatic charges, generated by a shade fabric (54) being reeled on to and off a roller (52) are connected to and grounded by a shaft (66) of a roller drive motor (100). The drive motor (100) is ultraquiet, and includes a worm gear drive and a single-stage reduction gear assembly (230) which delivers about 0.010 to 0.005 horsepower, with the motor shaft rotational velocity limited to no more than about 30 RPM. The motor (100) is mounted within a two-part housing (102,220) and is clamped between elastomeric acoustic dampers (240,241) connected between pedestals (230,231) extending from opposite interior wall surfaces to opposite side of the motor (100). An H-bridge drive circuit (301) powers the motor (100) under the control of a microprocessor which can be addressed by an infrared remote transmitter or by a wall mount control. Soft start and soft stop operation implemented by means of a computer program is employed to further reduce noise.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling interconnection of VPNs is disclosed. An interconnection device manages an interconnection process at one or more facilities including, for example, a gateway device. The gateway device has information relating to a plurality of VPNs, and may facilitate interconnection between devices on at least two of the VPNs by determining that one device is in fact a member of a first one of the VPNs, and by forwarding connection parameters of the first VPN to the second VPN on an as-needed basis. In this way, the gateway allows interconnection without the need for a completely centralized decision-making process, and does so independently of the type of device and/or VPN(s) being used. Moreover, the gateway may implement only those VPN parameters needed by both VPNs to communicate with one another with a desired level of security, thereby simplifying the routing and forwarding processes associated with the actual communication occurring via the interconnection. The information related to the plurality of VPNs and their respective member devices may be stored in a mapping table at the gateway, and identification parameters of a device seeking interconnection and/or associated VPN parameters may be verified by the use of digital certificates.

Abstract: A dual-processing unit with single clock source CPUs safety I/O module having a safety timer crosscheck diagnostic to enable each CPU to verify the accuracy of the clock source of the other CPU. The diagnostic works by having the first CPU act as a controlling CPU and the second CPU act as a monitoring CPU. Both CPUs are synchronized to begin one cycle of their respective safety functions at the same time. As part of the diagnostic, the controlling CPU is set to be interrupted after a pre-determined time period while the monitoring CPU is set to be interrupted slightly after that. When the controlling CPU is interrupted after the pre-determined time has passed as determined by that CPU's clock source, it sends a signal to the monitoring CPU which then verifies that the perceived time is within an expected range. To verify that the clock source of the monitoring CPU is accurate, the first CPU swaps roles to become the monitoring CPU while the second CPU becomes the controlling CPU. The CPUs are loaded again and execute one cycle of their respective safety functions. The first, now monitoring, CPU then ensures the accuracy of the clock source of the second, now controlling, CPU.
