Title: Apparatus for controlling delivery
IPC: G08C17/02
Filed: 1997-12-20
Abstract: Apparatus is described for controlling delivery of dangerous material, such as LPG, from a tanker 12 to a tank 14, through a pipe 16. A valve 18 is controlled by an arrangement 22. An operator 28 carries a radio transmitter 24 and must periodically transmit an appropriate signal to the control 22, otherwise the control 22 will time out and close the valve, also sounding an alarm. In accordance with the invention, the transmitter 24 is also provided with a timer, having a shorter count down time, and also re-set when the signal is sent to the control 22. The timer in the transmitter 24 alerts the operator 28 that a signal should be sent, giving the operator an opportunity to send a signal before the control 22 closes the valve 18. However, if the operator does not send a signal, or is incapable of doing so, the timer at 22 will assume that an emergency situation exists, and cease further delivery. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-9924846-D0 (GB)
Title: Drive circuit
IPC: G06F3/0354
Filed: 1999-10-20
Abstract: A position sensor includes a drive circuit 51 to apply and excitation pulse to an excitation winding 29. The decay time constant of the current loop formed by the excitation circuit and winding is longer in duration than the excitation pulse. The long decay time enables current to flow in the excitation winding for an amount of time after the pulse. This means shorter pulses, and hence less power, can be used. The sensor may be used in a x-y digitising tablet having a resonant stylus 41 which interacts with the excitation windings. Sensor windings 31, 33, 35, 37 may be located in the tablet or in the stylus which generate an output signal corresponding to the position of the stylus. The sensor may also be used behind the display of a hand-held electronic device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile telephone or web browser.
