Patent GB-2348551-A (GB)
Title: Safety system for dimmer switches
Inventor: DOYLE ANTHONY JAMES
IPC: H02H5/04
Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: The dimmer switch has a control system comprising a switched semiconductor current controller and a variable switching system to control the average current flow between input and output terminals. A re-settable normally closed thermally activated overload switch disconnects the control system in the event of an increase in temperature above a preset level or an increase in current above a preset level. The thermally activated overload switch may be a mechanical device which opens the path between two contacts connected in series with the main current carrying circuit between the input and/or output terminals of the power control system. Under normal operating conditions the overload switch remains closed due to restraint means preventing opening and in the event that the temperature increases above a preset limit, the restraint means ceases to have effect and the switch opens preventing any further current flow and the resetting means maintains the internal temperature of the dimmer switch at a safe level until the cause of the overload is corrected. The temperature sensor may be a bimetallic strip. The increase in current above a preset level may be sensed by a magnetic device which trips a spring urged switch opening device when the current exceeds a preset level. The variable switching system may be a variable resistor manually operated by a rotary control with a mechanical isolation switch in series with the variable power circuit with the thermal or current operated overload switch mechanically connected to the isolation switch to operate it when overload occurs.

Title: Data transfer method for matching upper protocol layer to high speed serial bus
Inventor: LEE HEE-JIN
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: If transfer data to be sent from an upper protocol layer to a high speed serial bus such as an IEEE 1394 bus is determined to be stream data (asynchronous or isochronous stream data) that is transferred to a predetermined node which the bus can identify, then a channel is allocated in the bus and the data is transferred through the channel. However if the transfer data is determined not to be stream data, it is transferred by an asynchronous transfer method according to the high speed serial bus standard, without allocating a channel. Stream data is identified using a flow classifier such as an X/Y classifier which determines data flow by detecting a predetermined amount of data in a given amount of time, a protocol classifier which determined data flow by detecting Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or a port classifier which determines data flow according to the port number of a transport layer.

Title: Method and low pressure, non-barrier type dispensing can for dispensing liquids
Inventor: DIAMOND GEORGE BERNARD
IPC: B05B11/04
Filed: 1993-05-26
Abstract: A low pressure aerosol dispensing can which is distinguished from existing high pressure aerosol dispensing cans. The generally cylindrical can has a thin wall thickness, like that of a carbonated beverage can, which can be distorted by finger pressure but whose shape is maintained by internal gas pressure. The liquid contents to be dispensed and the propellant gas are mixed in the can. The dispensing valve at the top of the can dispenses the liquid contents and propellant in a controlled manner. The valve may include an additional narrow bore vapor tap between the gaseous propellant head space in the can and the valve chamber for delivering extra gas for atomizing the liquid and propelling it from the nozzle. The gas pressure in the can is coordinated with the can wall and bottom thickness so that the can will have sufficient distortion resistance and burst resistance at elevated temperature. Yet the can has side walls of a thickness low enough to permit the can to be easily crushed by hand pressure when the can is empty.
