Abstract: The communication bus system comprises a plurality of node circuits ( 10 a-d) and a relay circuit ( 12, 14, 16 ) coupling the node circuits ( 10 a-d). The relay circuit ( 12, 14, 16 ) has a transceiver circuit ( 124, 164 ) for relaying messages ( 21 ) between the node circuits ( 10 a-d) in a normal mode. The transceiver circuit ( 124, 164 ) is powered down in a sleep mode. A detector circuit ( 120, 160 ) detects an incoming message ( 41 ) when the relay circuit ( 12, 14, 16 ) is in a sleep mode. A mode control circuit ( 122, 162 ) powers up the transceiver ( 124, 164 ) in response to detection of an incoming message ( 21 ). Steps are taken that ensure, in the normal mode, that messages ( 21 ) will not be relayed in unreadable form. The mode control circuit ( 122, 162 ) is arranged to cause the transceiver ( 124, 164 ) to relay a remainder ( 25 ) of the incoming message ( 21 ) after power up. In an embodiment the power needed to transmit the remainder ( 25 ) of the message ( 21 ) is drained from a capacitor ( 306 ) in the power supply ( 30 ) before the power supply ( 30 ) controls the power supply voltage in the normal mode. In another embodiment the detector circuit ( 120, 160 ) temporarily controls the direction of operation of the transceivers ( 124, 164 ) at the start of the normal mode instead of further detectors ( 58 a-d) that normally control the direction of operation in the normal mode.

Abstract: A reservoir for use with a spray gun has a body and a flexible diaphragm that define a chamber for liquid to be supplied to the spray gun. The body has an outlet opening leading to a spout connectable to the spray gun and the diaphragm deflects to reduce the volume of the chamber as liquid is withdrawn from the reservoir. The diaphragm gradually conforms to the internal surface of the body as the liquid is withdrawn to prevent pockets forming in which the liquid may be trapped so that substantially all the liquid can be dispensed. The reservoir may be supplied pre-filled with the liquid.

Abstract: A feed forward amplifier employing a new adaptive controller and method is disclosed. The controller aligns both a gain adjuster and phase adjuster of a first cancellation loop. The phase adjuster may be controlled following a standard approach. However, the gain adjuster is offset intentionally causing an incomplete cancellation, increasing the signal power passing through the error amplifier. If the gain adjuster is offset low, below the gain adjustment required to maximize carrier cancellation, peak power output from the main amplifier is reduced while the second loop maintains constant system output power. If the gain adjuster is offset high, peak power output from the error amplifier is reduced while the second loop maintains constant system output power. By controlling the gain adjuster offset from full first loop cancellation, the feed forward amplifier can be optimized for the power handling capabilities of the main and error amplifiers. A system and method of specifying and controlling the steady-state offset of the first loop gain adjuster is also disclosed. By altering the cost function of the first loop gain, the desired gain adjuster offset becomes the steady-state adjustment. Floors and penalties are incorporated into the first loop gain minimization approach to allow precise specification of the gain adjuster offset. The gain adjuster offset can be controlled at will to optimize the feed forward system even when the operating conditions or goals are varying.
