Title: Power management integrated circuit and method of power state transition
Inventor: MORE GRANT M
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2009-07-22
Abstract: A Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC), which is operable in use to provide a plurality of power states, is arranged to provide a predetermined delay before a power state transition begins. The delay, which is preferably configurable and may be of zero duration, is applied between receipt by the PMIC of a power state transition command and the start of the power state transition itself. The power transition command may also result in the output of a power transition indication signal, e.g. an interrupt to a processor. A power state transition may comprise a power state transition sequence under the control of a sequencer. The PMIC may also be arranged to control power converters (power blocks) that are external to the PMIC. Also disclosed is the translation of control settings, from one power block to another, to simultaneously change the output of both power blocks with a single update.

Abstract: 708,585. Spray carburetters. SCHNEEBELI, H. April 24, 1952 [April 26, 1951], No. 10309/52. Class 7(3) In a carburetter comprising an inlet for a mixture of fuel and primary air into a mixing chamber, a fuel feed controlled by a fuel-valve in the inlet and an inlet for secondary air into the mixing chamber controlled by a valve connected to operate the fuel valve and fast with a piston sliding in a cylinder having variable communication with the chamber, an operative connection between the secondary air valve and the fuel valve consists of a lever rocking upon a fixed pivot the lever having unequal arms terminating in forks respectively engaging with a groove upon the secondary air valve and piston assembly and with a groove upon a member -controlling the fuel valve. In the Figure during normal running a valve 9 controlled by the operator by means of a lever 14 and cam 13 actuated by a pedal or the equivalent (not shown) coacts with orifices 8 to vary the suction transmitted from the induction pipe 2 to a cylinder 3. The suction acts on a secondary air valve 5 and lifts it against the action of a spring 7 and at the same time controls the fuel supply by means of a needle valve 24 which is interconnected with the valve 5. At starting a lever 29 is operated to depress a push rod 26 in contact with the needle valve and open the valve and at the same time an arm 29c of the lever actuates a lever 11 and depresses the valve 9 so that the orifices 8 are closed. A forked end of the lever 34 co-operates with a groove 15a and has longitudinal play in this groove so that the valve 5 is not moved when the needle valve is depressed at starting. When the lever 29 is allowed to return the needle valve 24 closes and fuel then reaches the induction pipe by way of an orifice 25 in sufficient quantity for slow running. A fuel well 20 is supplied with fuel through a passage 21.

Hydrocarbons, distilling; separate heater and evaporator apparatus. - In apparatus of the separate heater and evaporator type for distilling hydrocarbons particularly for the production of lubricating oils, the liquid is fed from the heater to the evaporator in predetermined quantities at predetermined intervals. The apparatus comprises a preheater 1, a heater 4, evaporator 8, and a furnace 13 for superheating steam. The latter flows through a pipe 12 into a worm 11 in the evaporator and then passes into the heater 4. The oil is drawn from the preheater 1 through a pipe 2 by a pump 3 into a worm 5 in the heater 4 and is then forced by a pump 6 through a pipe 7 so that it is sprayed onto a conical cap 16 enclosing the worm 11. The pump is regulated by a temperature equalizer of known type, to deliver the oil at uniform rate and if steam is also used in the evaporation it is admitted bv a pipe 18 the supply being controlled by a regulator 9. The vapourized oil passes off through a pipe 19, liquid particles being intercepted by baffles 10, and is condensed in a series of condensers 20 arranged in the preheater 1. The pipe 19 is circular in form passing almost completely round the preheater 1 and being connected to each condenser by a pair of branches so that the condensers can be cut out of operation singly or in groups.
