Patent EP-1154451-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VAN ZEELAND ANTHONY J
IPC: H01H25/06
Filed: 1996-05-28
Abstract: A switch has a carrier sheet with electrodes formed on
an internal side thereof to form switch contacts. An armature is
held in slidable contact with the internal side of the carrier
and the electrodes by a magnet disposed on the external surface
of the carrier. The magnet is carried in a knob mounted on the
external side of the membrane carrier for rotary, linear or
complex motion. When a user manipulates the knob the magnet
drags the armature either into or out of shorting relation with
the electrodes. A magnetic detent gear can be incorporated to
provide tactile feedback. A pushbutton version of the switch can
be made with a pivotable armature normally held spaced from
electrodes on the substrate by a magnet. A membrane and spacer
may be added to protect and seal the electrodes and armature.

Abstract: An approach for performing auto-commissioning over a two-way satellite network is disclosed. A transceiver transmits and receives signals over the two-way satellite network. An antenna is coupled to the transceiver. A user terminal is coupled to the transceiver and executes a setup program. The program instructs a user to point the antenna to a beacon satellite using predefined pointing values based upon the location of the antenna. The user provides user information over a temporary channel that is established via the beacon satellite to a hub. The hub downloads network configuration parameters and antenna pointing parameters to the user terminal. The user selectively re-points the antenna based upon the downloaded antenna pointing parameters. The user terminal is configured based upon the downloaded network configuration parameters, without the need to employ a separate terrestrial link.

Abstract: Specific transfer methods and articles to impart a metal-ion based antimicrobial finish to recipient textile surfaces. Such treatments preferably comprise silver ions, particularly as constituents of inorganic metal salts or zeolites. In particular, the inventive method involves the application of a solid, inorganic antimicrobial material to a donor substrate (such as a dryer sheet), and the subsequent placement of such a substrate within a tumble drying machine containing textile fabrics and operating the machine. The donor substrate, upon contact with the recipient textile fabrics, transfers antimicrobially effective amounts of the metal-ion based compounds to such recipient fabrics thereby imparting at least a temporary antimicrobial finish over at least a portion of such fabrics. The donor substrates, with either the antimicrobial compound alone or mixed with standard tumble dryer additives (such as perfumes, fabric softeners, fiber lubricants, and the like) are also contemplated within this invention.

Abstract: An arc-fault detecting circuit-breaker system includes a normally closed line circuit breaker in series with a protected electrical circuit element whose current flow is to be interrupted upon the occurrence of an arc fault. A detector senses the rate of change with time of the current flow in the protected electrical circuit element. A silicon-controlled rectifier has a gate of the silicon-controlled rectifier in electrical communication with a detector output signal of the detector. The silicon-controlled rectifier shorts the current flow in the protected electrical circuit element in the event that the detector output signals that the rate of change of current with time in the protected electrical circuit element is in excess of a permitted maximum rate-of-change value, thereby activating the line circuit breaker.
