Title: Twist off bottle cap remover
Inventor: BUETTNER FRED A
IPC: B67B7/18
Filed: 2003-05-30
Abstract: Apparatus for twisting off crown bottle caps. A main body in side view is flattened and has a thickness, with a circular opening through the thickness, the opening large enough to accommodate the diameter of a crown bottle cap. The circumferential edge of the opening is formed into a plurality of pairs of facets, each pair of facets forming a notch. The walls of the facets are not parallel to one another but instead taper toward one another and farm generally pyramidal shapes which intersect, or come to a point, within the main body thickness. An inverted triangular shape is formed between each pair of facets. A bottle cap is inserted into the opening, where the notches formed by the facets closely engage the bottle cap jags. The contour of the main body then permits the user to readily twist off the bottle cap.

Title: Temperature measuring method, object detecting method and object detecting device with vibrating-type level sensor
Inventor: KAWAKATSU HIROSHI
IPC: G01F23/22
Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: A magnet (22) is provided to a vibrating plate (23) within a detection pipe unit (1) and an electromagnet (21) is placed opposite to the magnet with a slight gap therebetween. A drive circuit (51) applies, to a coil at every predetermined measurement cycle, an alternating current at a frequency which is swept over a predetermined range centered at a resonance frequency of the vibrating plate (23). When the alternating current is applied, a phase comparison circuit (53) detects a change in phase that is caused according to whether or not an object contacts the vibrating plate (23). A microcomputer (40) determines presence/absence of the object based on the detected change in phase, measures the temperature based on the detected change in phase in a former half cycle of the predetermined measurement cycle and changes the swept frequency based on the result of measurement of the temperature in a latter half cycle of the predetermined cycle.

Abstract: Mechanisms are disclosed that may allow certain memory access control algorithms to be implemented efficiently. When memory access control is based on controlling changes to an address translation map (or set of maps), it may be necessary to determine whether a particular map change would allow memory to be accessed in an impermissible way. Certain data about the map may be cached in order to allow the determination to be made more efficiently than performing an evaluation of the entire map.
