Abstract: A dish-washing machine (400) comprising a detergent detector (100) is disclosed. The detergent detector (100) comprises a turbidity sensor and a processor communicatively coupled to the turbidity sensor. The turbidity sensor may include a light source for emitting light, and a light-sensitive element for receiving light emitted from the light source. The light source and the light-sensitive element are advantageously positioned relative to each other so that, when the light source is in operation, light emitted from the light source propagates through a fluid contained in the dish-washing machine on its way to the light sensitive element. The light-sensitive element is configured to measure the radiant intensity of light received at the light-sensitive element. The processor is configured to compare the radiant intensity of the light emitted from the light source with the radiant intensity of the light received at the light-sensitive element and, based on this information, to determine a turbidity value. Furthermore, the processor is configured to interpret the turbidity value as an indication of the presence of detergent in the fluid.

IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 2009-11-13
Abstract: An electronically controlled valve is suitable for regulating the flow of fluid between a fluid manifold and a working chamber of cyclically varying volume in a fluid-working machine having a rotating shaft. The valve includes a valve member moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein one of the first position and the second position is a position in which the valve is open and the other Is a position in which the valve is closed. A valve member moving mechanism is operable to receive energy from a fluid-working machine crankshaft, or other rotating shaft, and to provide a valve member moving force to urge the valve member from the first position to the second position using the received energy. Thus, the energy used for movement of the valve against a pressure gradient is derived from the crankshaft. Energy received from the crankshaft can be stored and used subsequently to urge the valve member from the first position, allowing the valve to function despite timing differences between the availability of energy from the crankshaft and the requirement for energy to move the valve member.
