Patent NO-931259-D0 (NO)
Inventor: RUDE EDWARD T
IPC: E06B9/308
Filed: 1993-04-01
Abstract: Headrail hardware to lift and tilt a Venetian blind is provided. A single control (5) operates both the lift and the tilt function. A multiturn band brake tilter (19) is used with each ladder cord (15) in a way that reduces the frictional forces encountered in lifting or lowering the blind. One end of each of the ladder cords is attached to an arm (21) of its tilter. The tilters are disposed directly about the rotating drive rod (11) with no intermediate parts, and are supported by cradles (17) that mount in the headrail rather than by the drive rod (11) as in prior art blinds. The drive rod (11) rotates the tilters (19) and the lifting mechanism until the tilters (19) contact stops built into each of the cradles (17). Further rotation keeps the blind fully tilted while lifting or lowering of the blind continues. In the preferred embodiment, the lift cords (13) are attached to the drive rod (11), which traverses to accumulate the cords (13) in a single layer as the rod (11) is rotated to lift the blind. The rotation of the rod (11) within the tilters (19) greatly reduces the lateral force needed to traverse the rod (11). An innovative bearing support (41) is provided so that the weight of the blind is transferred from the tilter (19) directly to the cradle (17), further reducing the frictional drag on the traversing rod (11).

Title: Improvements to control system for network servers
IPC: H04L12/825
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: A data transfer network is provided which comprises a TFTP server connected to transfer data to a series of client apparatus connected to the network. When data is to be transferred, one of the clients is designated the master client and the speed of requests for data from the master client determines the rate of transfer of the data to all of the clients. The rate of transfer of data to each client, when elected as the master client, is monitored and compared with predetermined transfer rates. If from the comparison it is identified that the transfer rates is longer than that which is required, the TFTP server elects another client which is available as master client. In the event that one of the clients is disabled and cannot act as a master client to receive data, this is identified by the TFTP server by monitoring network management messages which identify the disablement or unavailability of the client. If a client is identified as being unavailable or disabled, the TFTP server does not attempt to elect the client as master client.

Title: Level-shifter circuit
IPC: H02M1/00
Filed: 2009-10-27
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for control of DC-DC converters, especially in valley current mode. The DC-DC converter is operable so that a low side supply switch may be turned off, before the high side supply switch is turned on. During the period when both switches are off the current loop control remains active and the change in inductor (L) current is emulated. One embodiment uses a current sensor for lossless current sensing and emulates the change in inductor current by holding the value of the output of the current sensor (ISNS) at the time that the low side switch turns off and adding an emulated ramp signal (VISLP) until the inductor current reaches zero. Embodiment employing a pulse-skip mode of operation based on a minimum conduction time are also disclosed. The invention enables a seamless transition from Continuous Conduction Mode the Discontinuous Conduction Mode and Pulse Skipping and provide converters that are efficient at low current loads.
