Title: Connector for attaching an auxiliary device to a fluid system, particularly for connecting a filter to a central heating system
Inventor: WALL RICHARD
IPC: F24D19/00
Filed: 2012-08-02
Abstract: The connector 10 has an inlet 14, outlet 16 and auxiliary port 20. The auxiliary port connects to an auxiliary device 46 and defines a central axis (X, figure 1). The auxiliary port diverts fluid from the inlet port to the device and returns fluid from the device to the outlet port. A collar 22 surrounds the auxiliary port and is securable to the device using first 56 and second 58 releasable locking clips. When both clips are locked, relative movement between the connector and the device is prevented. When the first clip is released and the second clip is locked, relative rotation between the connector and the device about the axis, and a predetermined amount of relative movement along the axis, is permitted. Ideally, the device includes a boss 48 receivable in an annular passage (24, figure 2) of the connector. When the boss is in the annular channel, grooves 52,54 in the boss align with corresponding grooves (28,30, figure 1) in the collar that include apertures (38,44, figures 1-4) so that when the clips are positioned in the collar grooves they protrude into the boss grooves through the apertures, locking the device to the connector.

Abstract: An active matrix display wherein each cell comprises two, series-connected, thin-film transistors (TFTs), T3, T4. The first TFT has its drain connected to a high supply line and the second TFT has its source connected to a low supply line. Gates of the first and second TFTs are connected to first and second data driver signals, Vbias, Vdata, under the control of a scan signal. In one embodiment capacitance, Cst, is connected to a node joining the first and second TFTs. A driving TFT, T5, has a gate connected to this node and is connected to drive a light emitting device, ILED1 with a bias current. By appropriate choice of the relative sizing of the first and second TFTs and the proportional relationship between the first and second data driver signal voltages the data driver signals and the bias current are related to one another by a function independent of a threshold voltage of the driving TFT. In a second embodiment (Figure 6) two driving TFTs (Figure 6, T5, T6) are used to drive two light emitting devices (ILED1, ILED2) with two capacitors connected to the gates of the first and second TFTs.
