Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: An automatic clothes dryer has a drying cycle followed by a cool down cycle where the cool down cycle is terminated when the sensed output temperature of the dryer drum falls below a default temperature value preselected or altered by user. This permits the user to adjust the termination cool down cycle temperature to the user's preference and touch sensitivity to the warmth of clothing removed from the dryer. The user adjusts the setting of a user variable selection device on the dryer control panel to a preferred temperature signal representing the desired temperature of articles in the dryer when the cool down cycle is terminated. The dryer has a comparator that is connected to the outlet thermistor for receiving the sensed signal representing the temperature of the air leaving the drum and that is connected to the user variable selection device for receiving the user preferred temperature signal. The comparator generates a cool down cycle termination signal to end the cool down cycle when the sensed signal favorably compares with the user preferred temperature signal. The comparator is preferably embodied in a microprocessor.

Title: Pressurized bearing system for submersible motor
Inventor: SOUKUP GEORGE
IPC: F04D29/10
Filed: 2002-04-19
Granted: 2006-11-21
Abstract: A method and device are provided for stabilizing shaft bearings in a motor having a hollow shaft and holes communicating the shaft and the bearings. A lubricant pump is provided for pressurizing a volume of lubricant located within the motor housing, the pump having a set of impellers attached to a lower end of the shaft and rotating with the shaft, the impellers being located in the flow path of the lubricant. A diffuser is located upstream of and adjacent each impeller. The impellers increase the radial velocity of the lubricant, and this velocity is converted into a pressure head at the impeller outlet. The lubricant flows through the first diffuser, through the first impeller, through the second diffuser, and then flows through the second impeller and out into a reservoir. The pressure causes the lubricant to flow through the hollow shaft and through passages to stabilize the bearings.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for an invitee to gain admittance to a group. An inviter already in the group and the invitee share a secret password. The inviter uses the password to create an invitation and then issues the invitation to the invitee and to an authenticator. The authenticator creates a challenge key and challenge value and sends the challenge value to the invitee. Using the password and information from the invitation, the invitee recreates the challenge key, uses the challenge key to derive a response value from the challenge value, and sends the response value to the authenticator. The authenticator compares the response value with an expected value and, if they match, knows that the invitee must have been able to recreate the challenge key. The authenticator trusts that this invitee must be the one for which the inviter issued the invitation and admits the invitee to the group.
