Abstract: Control unit (7) for a domestic water supply circulation pump (6) comprises: a mass flow sensor (9) that is connected in a supply line so that it can measure a flow and give off a flow signal; a control device (10) with an output, whose level controls whether the circulation pump operates or not; and whereby the control unit changes its output level according to the mass flow measurement signal.  The invention also relates to a corresponding control method in which the flow in a supply line is constantly monitored and the pump switched on as soon as the flow exceeds a threshold value. The pump is switched off after a given preset time. The pump cannot be switched on again until a given dead time has elapsed.

Abstract: An arrangement (100) and method for sigma-delta analog-to-digital conversion by providing parallel translating sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters (21, 22) and summing their outputs to produce a digital output signal having a bandwidth greater than that of the first or second translating sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters (21, 22). The parallel translating sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters (21, 22) use switching sequences arranged to cancel third and fifth harmonics in the digital output signal. Orthogonality error in the switching sequences applied to the sigma-delta modulators is compensated by adjusting the phase of the signals applied to mixers (51, 52). <??>This allows doubling the signal bandwidth for almost the same resolution without the need for doubling the sampling frequency. This reduces power consumption, compared to a solution with a double clock speed, which makes it particularly suitable for in a wireless telephones. Also, both the sigma-delta modulators (21, 22) and the digital filters (31, 32, 41, 42) and mixers (51, 52) being embedded in an IC lend themselves to adjustment to other communication standards, which makes the solution suitable for multi-mode or multi-standard wireless phones. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A non-sealing, lubricating piston ring (15) for lubricating the cylinder wall (11) of a piston housing in a combustion tool is disclosed. The lubricating piston ring (11) is made from a lubricating material such as polytetrofluroethylene (PTFE). The shape of the PTFE ring is designed to optimize the lubricity of the piston housing, while allowing enough friction for the piston (12) to operate properly within the piston housing during reciprocating cycling movement. The PTFE ring (20, 50, 60) may have radial fins (22, 52, 62) extending from an outer surface thereof that are angled to promote ring rotations, such that the ring moves easily along and efficiently lubricates the inner cylinder wall of the piston housing. The PTFE ring does not form a seal between the piston and the housing. Instead, the PTFE ring is positioned above or below a sealing ring, (13, 14) such as a steel piston ring which forms the seal between the piston and the piston housing.

Abstract: A walk-behind battery-powered lawnmower having an assembly of a reel unit and a traction unit articularly connected together in an arrangement wherein the reel unit can conform in its vertical position to the elevation of the turf which is being mowed. Thus there is an articular connection between the two units, and the reel unit rides up and down in response to the turf undulations. An electric battery is supported on the traction unit, and there is required only an electric wire connection providing the rotation drive power from the battery to the mower reel. Separate electric controls between the battery and to a motor on the traction unit and one on the reel unit provide for operational speed control to thereby select the clip rate of grass cutting in an articular assembly.
