Title: Method and tool for assisting alignment of a pin header
Inventor: CACHIA CHARLES ANTONY
IPC: B23K3/08
Filed: 2013-01-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and tool for assisting alignment of one or more pin headers. In particular, the invention relates to a tool-assisted method of aiding alignment of one or more pin headers placed on a printed circuit board (PCB) prior to soldering, as well as to the tool itself. There is described a method of assisting alignment of a pin header (10) prior to soldering, the pin header (10) comprising pins (14, 16) supported by a collar (12). The method comprises placing the pin header (10) on a printed circuit board (PCB) (20) such that the pins (16) on a first side of the collar (12) engage the surface of the PCB (20), and such that the collar (12) contacts the surface of the PCB (20). The method further comprises positioning in contact with the pins (16) on the first side of the collar (12) a removable tool (30) so as to exert a force on the pins (16) on the first side of the collar (12), thereby causing the collar (12) to urge the pins (14) on a second side of the collar (12) into a soldering position. The tool improves the yield at wave/reflow soldering, and helps to reduce the number of bent and damaged pins.

Title: Method and electronic circuit for motor stall detection
Inventor: BRAAT MARCEL JAKOBUS GERARDUS
IPC: H02P8/36
Filed: 2014-07-11
Abstract: A method of detecting stall of a multi-phase motor 2 operated in a micro-stepped mode comprises applying at least two phase-shifted micro-stepped waveforms to the phase windings of said motor. The sum of currents flowing through the phase windings is determined , and samples of the sum of currents are taken synchronously with the application of the micro-stepped waveforms. The moving average or moving sum of the samples is then calculated over one or more "full steps" of the phase-shifted waveforms. An adaptive threshold based on the samples is calculated and stall of the motor is detected when the moving average is larger than the adaptive threshold. The motor may be a sensorless BLDC (brushless DC) or stepper motor. A motor driver circuit 4 may be provided comprising a plurality of dual H-bridges, having signals for receiving PWM signals. The PWM signals may be generated by dedicated hardware blocks of a microcontroller 7.

Title: Dynamic rendering of a document object model
Inventor: KNOTT SIMON DAVID
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2013-03-21
Abstract: A user terminal navigates via a first browser session to a URL of an application on a remote computer which requires authentication (610). The user notifies a server of the requirement (650). The server retrieves stored user login information (660) and injects it into the application via a second, headless browser session (675). The second browser informs the server of successful login and, on request from the server, sends the users application cookies to the server (683). The second browser session is destroyed (685), and the cookies and destination URL of the application are sent to the user terminal (687). The user is therefore presented with the application in a logged-in state.
