Title: Power management of computers
Inventor: BLACKBURN MARK
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2008-11-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling the power consumption of a computer. The method uses a power management program to detect S42, S44 the identities of processes running on the computer which maintain it in a high power state in the absence of input activity. The program compares S46 the identity of the processes running on the computer with a set of identities of previously identified processes and causes S48 the computer to adopt a low power state S404 if the detected identities of all the processes, running on the computer are in the set of identified processes. The method may detect the identity of a process running on the computer by detecting the threads which have a flag set to require system resources and identifying the process which runs the thread. Also disclosed is a method for an administrator to set up the set of process identities, identified as maintaining the computer in a high power state.

Title: Critical flow based mass flow verifier
Inventor: DING JUNHUA
IPC: G01F25/00
Filed: 2007-06-27
Abstract: A flow verifier for verifying measurement by a fluid delivery device under test (DUT) includes a chamber configured to receive a flow of the fluid from the DUT, at least one temperature sensor to provide gas temperature in the chamber, at least one pressure transducer to provide gas pressure in the chamber, and a critical flow nozzle located upstream of the chamber along a flow path of the fluid from the DUT to the chamber. The critical flow nozzle and the flow verification process are configured to maintain the flow rate of the fluid through the nozzle at the critical flow condition such that the flow rate through the nozzle is substantially constant and substantially insensitive to any variation in pressure within the chamber downstream of the nozzle. Therefore, the varying chamber pressure during the flow verification period has substantially no impact on the downstream pressure of the DUT, and the external volume between the flow verifier and the DUT is substantially irrelevant to the flow verification calculation.

The shaft is provided with discs 61 cach having an eccentrically arranged circular recess which receives an eccentric disc 64 on the central crank portion 46 of the shaft ; the discs are retained in the recesses by cover plates 66 and are adjustable to vary the throw of the crank. To allow of vertical adjustment to compensate for this adjustment, the shaft 45 bears in eccentric bushings 43 in supporting blocks 42 ; the bushings are rotated manually by a shaft 53 through bevel and worm gearing. The shaft 45 is driven by an electric motor through a self-adjusting coned pulley and carries heavy fly-wheels 70 fitted with brakes 92 ; the motor is switched off and the brakes simultaneously applied by depression of a treadle. The feed rolls 7, 8 and 9, 10 are driven from the shaft 45 through a Reeves variable speed drive. The upper rolls 7, 9 can be raised to inoperative position against springs 19, 20 by manually operable cams 23, 24. The work may be lubricated by rolls 125, 126 receiving liquid from troughs 122, 123. Punched-out blanks may be received on a conveyer belt 114. In a modification, the female die is uppermost and the blanks pass therethrough into a magazine having flexible sides whereby the lower part may move with the work while the upper part remains stationary.
