Title: Control method for power take off
Inventor: ARJYASHREE ROUL D
IPC: B60K17/28
Filed: 2013-06-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a clutch-dependent power take-off PTO using controlling means comprising an electronic control unit ECU. A first input 1 is provided for a signal corresponding to an engaged or a disengaged operational state of a drive clutch DC. A second input 2 is provided for a signal corresponding to an activated or a deactivated operational state of the power take-off PTO. A switch unit SU is connected to said electronic control unit ECU, and controls the operational state of the power take-off PTO depending on the present inputted operational states. The switch unit SU couples the power take-off PTO with the drive clutch DC only if the drive clutch DC is in a disengaged operational state. The invention is aimed at protecting the apparatus from damage when operated incorrectly and is usable in a load tipping application and in conjunction with a display panel IPD.

Title: Highly accurate temperature measurement system
Inventor: WYN-DAVIES ALAN
IPC: G01K15/00
Filed: 2015-04-02
Abstract: A temperature measurement system, for use with a temperature control unit for vending food or beverages, has a temperature measurer A and a processor to determine the measured temperature. Resistance in the temperature measurer A may be recorded at various temperatures, and compared with a more accurate temperature measurer, for calibration, e.g., in measuring the temperature of a solid, liquid, gas or vacuum of uniform temperature. Data for each temperature measurer A may be linked to it by a barcode C, QR code, RFID, printed data or electronic memory, and may be stored on a database. The temperature measurer A may be a temperature probe, thermocouple, thermistor or electronic temperature sensor. A controller to control the temperature of a unit may use such a temperature measurement system, with a programmer to program the controller and transfer data to the controller. A user may input data into the temperature measurement system. Low-cost temperature probes and sensors can be calibrated independently of a temperature management controller, so that they may be combined without the need for recalibration, e.g., upon failure in-trade.

Filed: 2015-04-30
Abstract: An electromagnetic acoustic transducer for exciting ultrasonic vibration within a test object comprises at least one magnet (10, Fig 5), a fluxguide (8, Fig 5) shaped to direct the magnetic field towards a test face (11, Fig 5) due to repulsion between magnetic fields, an electrical coil 12, at least an active portion of which covers the test face, and within the active portion conductors of the coil are parallel, straight and carrying current in the same direction. The coil may be a butterfly coil comprising two adjacent spiral coils wound in opposite senses, the medial portion of the coil being the active portion. The magnetic field may pass from magnet to fluxguide in directions that are non-normal to the test face. The repulsion of the magnetic field lines may increase the flux density within the fluxguide. The EMAT may comprise a housing with a low magnetic permeability. The ratio of the radius of a circle containing a projection of the test face, to the radius of a circle containing the at least one magnet ranges from 0.2 to 0.8. Driving electric current through the coil excites a substantially mode pure and uni-directionally polarised shear wave in the test object.

Title: Hardware data structure for tracking ordered transactions
Inventor: DARBARI ASHISH
IPC: G06F13/36
Filed: 2014-09-02
Abstract: A counter is used to track the age of in flight transactions. The data structure may comprises a counter that keeps track of the number of in-flight transactions; an indexed table that keeps track of the age of each of the in-flight transactions using the counter; and control logic that verifies a transaction response has been received in the correct order (e.g. corresponds to the oldest in-flight transaction) based on the age information in the table. This allows operations which are performed out of order to be identified so that errors in read, write data are determined. The counter may be incremented when control signals detect a new transaction, and the table updated for the new transaction and decremented when the transaction response is issued. An error detection module detects when transactions are out of sequence, using assertions. A signal may be generated to indicate that the slave is not ready to send the transaction response when the transaction has not been issued in the predetermined order.
