Title: Shredder having a thickness triggering mechanism
Inventor: LEE PEI-YUAN
IPC: B02C18/06
Filed: 2006-12-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a shredder 200 having a thickness triggering device 203. The shredder 200 includes a sensing assembly 204 that senses the movement of said thickness triggering device 203. If the movement of the thickness triggering device 203 is above a threshold level then the sensing assembly 204 interrupts the shredding operation in order to avoid jamming. During the shredding operation, the trembling of the article may cause the thickness triggering device 203 to unnecessarily block a sensing assembly 204. Therefore, the shredder further includes a sustaining mechanism 207 e.g. a roller assembly. Since the sustaining mechanism 207 is sustained against the article during shredding, the amplitude of trembling in the article is largely reduced. As a consequence, the influence of the shredding article on the thickness triggering device 203 is reduced so as to prevent unnecessary interruption of the shredder 200.
Patent GB-2447045-A (GB)
Title: A method of fuel injection
Inventor: DRAKE TIMOTHY GUY
IPC: F02D41/34
Filed: 2007-02-28
Abstract: A method of operating an internal combustion engine 100 operated such that fuel is supplied to charge air using an injector 116, which in each operation delivers a set amount of fuel. The amount of fuel supplied to the charge air in each engine cycle is controlled by how many times the injector 116 operates in each cycle. A desired fuel demand is calculated as a number of operations of the injector per cycle, calculated to at least one decimal place. The desired fuel demand is rounded to a near integer to provide an output fuel demand for the injector as a number of operations of the injector for the next operating cycle in varying operating conditions of the engine. In steady state operating conditions of the engine an aggregate number of operations for a plurality of engine cycles is calculated which is closer to an aggregated desired fuel demand for the plurality of cycles than if for each cycle of the plurality of output cycles the output fuel demand is calculated independently.

Title: Storing broad/multicast packet headers/labels in an unrolled linked list structure for expansion into outgoing packets
Inventor: GROARKE VINCENT
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2008-05-02
Abstract: Multicast packet payloads are stored in data memory upon reception. The headersare processed, including determination if the packet is a multicast one. For these multicast packets labels, representing fields in or appended to the packet header, are stored for each destination along with a flag indicating the labels validity. The labels are grouped into clusters/chunks and each cluster is chained to the next one by a pointer, thereby forming an unrolled linked list. All clusters are the same size. The final cluster in a list is a sentinel which contains only invalid labels and whose next cluster pointer points back to itself. The labels are then sequentially combined with the stored packet payload and any other necessary header fields to explode the multicast. Labels can be added/removed in accordance with normal linked list rules. The invention can be used with virtual private LAN services (VPLS).

Title: Vibratory gyroscope with parasitic mode damping
Inventor: WHELAN DAVID A
IPC: G01C19/56
Filed: 2007-12-20
Abstract: Operation of a planar resonator gyroscope with in-plane parasitic modes of vibration to obtain improved performance is disclosed. A planar resonator gyroscope, such as a disc resonator gyroscope, may be operated with embedded electrodes. The embedded electrodes may be disposed adjacent to the planar resonator and proximate to one or more anti-nodes of a parasitic vibration mode. A sensed amplitude of the parasitic mode is applied in differential signals used to operate the gyroscope. A feedback controller for damping the parasitic mode applies a drive voltage generated from the proportional voltage to one or more drive electrodes adjacent to the planar resonator disposed proximate to one or more anti-nodes of the parasitic vibration mode of the planar resonator. Parasitic in-plane modes may be thus damped in operating the gyroscope with active damping applied through an analog operational amplifier or digital feedback.
