Patent EP-1426777-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRUEMMER HEINZ KURT
IPC: G01R21/06
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a low cost and high accuracy apparatus for measuring total
electrical power supplied by an electrical power supply system at a number of electrical
phases. This is achieved by matching the phase error introduced by the means for sensing
current and voltage supplied by each electrical phase. Power can hereby be calculated
without error caused by the sensed current and voltage being out of phase. The phase
error match can be achieved with small and low cost transformers as current and voltage
sensing means. Transformers for both current and voltage sensing provides a galvanic
separation at an early stage, thus enabling use of a single power calculating unit common
for all phases. An electronic circuit is proposed so as to enable the power calculating unit
to be powered by the voltage sensing transformers without introducing measuring
inaccuracy due to variation over time of the power required by the power calculating unit.

Abstract: A rotating stream sprinkler of the type having a rotatable deflector (14)
for sweeping small streams of irrigation water in a radially outward direction
to irrigate adjacent vegetation, wherein the sprinkler includes a speed control
brake (12) for maintaining a substantially constant deflector rotational speed
throughout a range of normal operating pressures and flow rates. The
deflector (14) includes an array of spiral vanes engaged by one or more water jets
for rotatably driving the deflector which converts the jets into a plurality of
relatively small irrigation streams swept over the surrounding terrain. A
friction plate rotatable with the deflector engages a brake pad (92) retained
against a nonrotating brake disk. The brake pad (92) includes tapered contact
faces for varying the friction contact radius in response to changes in water
pressure and/or flow rate to maintain deflector rotational speed substantially
constant.

The drive assembly includes an interface registration member, to one end surface portion of which is secured the end face of E-core electromagnet, another portion of which is configured to produce a selected registration of the driven member and the driving assembly, and still another portion of which is configured to produce a selected registration of the interface member relative to the handle of the toothbrush. A second aspect of the disclosure concerns a split bobbin assembly for an electrical coil portion of an electromagnet in a power toothbrush. The split bobbin assembly includes a first portion which mates with a portion of the appliance, which is exposed to the operating environment of the appliance and is made from a material which has sufficient chemical-resistant properties for tolerance of exposure to the environment. A second portion of the split bobbin is made from a material which is resistant to heat so as to withstand soldering of the electrical coil wires to the terminal pins positioned in a base part of the bobbin assembly. Connecting elements on the first and second portions join the two portions together.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for navigating an image viewed on a display screen (320). The image is controlled by a processor (215) that receives navigational commands selected on a touchscreen (205) of an auxiliary display device (200). The touchscreen (205) is partitioned into a plurality of navigational control areas (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280). Each navigational control area is associated with a different navigational command. When one of the navigational control areas of the touchscreen (205) is selected, the navigational command associated with the selected navigational control area is transmitted to the processor (215). The processor (215) receives and executes the transmitted navigational command to navigate the image. The boundaries of the control areas are normally hidden from view, but can be revealed on the touchscreen (205) in response to a user input.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to efficiently perform
indirect index vector reference. An element register of a
vector register or a scalar register specified in the "index"
is divided into multiple areas, and a particular index vector
is acquiredby selecting any of the divided areas. Accordingly,
it is possible to store substantially multiple index vectors
in one vector register, and therefore register resources can
be efficiently used. The procedure for providing index
vectors is similar to that for providing one index vector,
and therefore the code size and the process cycles of the program
are almost not increased. That is, according to the present
invention, indirect index vector reference can be more
efficiently performed.
