Title: Vessel fill level indicating device
Inventor: WERNER ALTON
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2007-04-03
Abstract: A vessel fill level is qualitatively determined and indicated by a device having a base and a vessel-supporting member that is resiliency suspended inwardly from and above the base. The base has an annular body with at least three stanchions, symmetrically spaced around the annular body, as well as a plurality of radially- inwardly-extending arms. Each stanchion has a vertical slot and each of the arms meet at an axial base member. The vessel support has a plurality of radially-outwardly extending arms and is adapted to support the vessel. A distal end of each of the arms is received and retained in one of the vertical slots, where a spring connects the arm to the base. Means for distinguishing at least two levels of vertical separation between the base and the vessel-supporting member provides a qualitative signal to a display that may be on the base or remote to the device.

Patent GB-2472585-A (GB)
Title: Method of compiling code for loading to cache memory
Inventor: LUCAS DARREN
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2009-08-10
Abstract: A method for configuring a microprocessor to the device to run code from cache comprises modifying the code in an automated manner, such as using a script or compiler, to insert instructions into the assembly code. The instructions include jump instruction which, when fetched for execution from memory, cause cache lines containing the jump instructions to be stored in cache. The jump instructions when executed cause the processor to jump to the subsequent jump instruction, thereby loading all of the required code into cache. The modification process may pad the code between jump instructions to correspond with the length of the cache line. Skip instructions within the modified code cause the processor to skip past the jump instructions when executed from the cache. A device configured according to this manner can operate in a low power mode in which code is loaded into cache and the device continues to execute, although the external memory can be put into a low power mode. A particular use is found in the operation of a consumer electronic device such as a TV set top decoder box.

IPC: B60G3/26
Filed: 2009-11-16
Abstract: A vehicle has a chassis 11 and at least one axle 13 suspended from the chassis for vertical and roll movement relative to the chassis. The axle is mounted on the chassis via a first pivotal mounting means 13a which is pivoted on the chassis for vertical pivoting movement relative thereto and which carries an axle support 15 on which the axle is free to pivot in a roll mode. A first damping means 19 acts between the chassis and the first pivotal mounting means to control vertical movement of the axle relative to the chassis, and a second damping means 21 acts between the first pivotal mounting means 13a and the axle 13 to provide independent control of the roll movement of the axle relative to the chassis. The first pivotal mounting means may comprise an upper pair of arms pivoted at their inner ends on the chassis and carrying the axle support at their outer ends. A second lower pair of arms 13b may be provided pivoted at their inner ends on the chassis for vertical pivoting movement relative thereto.

Abstract: 714,961. Phase displacement; control systems for consumption apparatus. BERNARDIN, A. April 22, 1952 [April 26, 1951; March 7, 1952], No. 10096/52. Classes 38(2) and 38(4) A control circuit acting as a variable impedance for manually or automatically varying the magnitude or phase of voltage, comprises two rectifiers reversely connected in parallel each in series with an inductor, there being means to control the value of the current in one or both rectifiers. In Fig. 1 two valves 7, 10 which may be thyratrons or ignitrons in series with inductors 8. 11 and connected in reverse - parallel arrangement between A.C. supply 1-2 and load 6, are controlled by the voltages applied to their control electrodes 9, 12 from a controller 60. A non-linear resistor 13 may be connected in parallel with the rectifier branch circuits to make the output substantially sinusoidal. Alternatively the valves 7, 10 and inductors 8, 11 may be arranged as shown in Fig. 2 with the non-linear resistor connected between the cathodes to form with the inductors a continuous path for low currents. By connecting the control circuit in the supply to a step-up automatic-transformer, a voltage greater than that of the supply may be controlled, Fig. 3 (not shown). In the arrangement of Fig. 4 the two parallel circuits connected between terminals 34, 35 comprise respectively rectifier 36, conductor 46, inductor 43 and diode 41, and diode 40, inductor 42, conductor 46 and rectifier 37. The controller and non-linear resistor are 60, 47 respectively, and again the arrangement may allow a continuous path, Fig. 5 (not shown). The circuit may be coupled to the supply circuit by a transformer, Fig. 6 (not shown). Fig. 8 shows one branch circuit in which a mechanical contact rectifier 58 is used. The control is exercized by varying the angular position of a cam 61 which operates the contacts and is driven by a synchronous motor. Rectifier 59 allows non-critical opening of the switch without sparking.

Abstract: 944,924. Photographic cameras. KODAK Ltd. March 23, 1960 [March 23, 1959], No. 10230/60. Heading G2A. In a photographic camera of the type in which an exposure meter or a manual override member are alteratively sensed by a member which adjusts the camera diaphragm, the sensing member is yieldably coupled to the camera actuating member and coupled to a moving part of the diaphragm so that the movements of the sensing member and the moving part are larger than the movement of the actuating member. Depression of the release lever 18 releases a lever 34 the end 42 of which engages a pin 44 to raise a plate 51 until the cam surface 80 contacts the exposure meter pointer 74. Pin 52 engages slots 56, 58 to set the diaphragm aperture. Manual override is provided by a knurled disc 88 a pin 90 on which engages a slot 94 to rotate the disc 96. The pointer 100 is then sensed in place of meter pointer 74. Lever 112 prevents unintentional manual setting. A symbol "MAN" 144 is uncovered when the override means is operative and appears in the viewfinder as does an indicator 146 when primary light is insufficient for a satisfactory exposure. A graduated masking cylinder 160 is used to allow for exposure factors such as film sensitivity. Specification 944,925 is referred to.
