Abstract: A cleaning valve drive unit constituted to be able to
supply water to a toilet by manual rotational operation of a
main shaft in which the main shaft is constituted to be able
to pull out from a cleaning operation position to a draining
operation position. Whereas an operation limiting mechanism
with respect to the main shaft enables to carry out cleaning
operation to the toilet by rotational operation around an axis
line with respect to the main shaft when the main shaft is
disposed at the cleaning operation position, when the main
shaft is moved to the draining operation position, the
operation limiting mechanism permits to drain water by the
rotational operation around the axis line with respect to the
main shaft.

Abstract: A digital media recorder and a method of controlling such is shown. During attempts to copy media content such as audio or a video sequences, sub-sequences are extracted from an input media sequence. A digital fingerprint of the sub-sequence is calculated and compared with at least one first reference fingerprint from a database. The outcome of the comparison determines the action to take in the further processing. Recording of the input media sequence on the media carrier is either allowed or obstructed, e.g. disallowed. In the case recording of the sequence is allowed, the database is updated with information that the digital media sequence has been recorded. This has the effect of a "speed bump," which limits the rate at which those copies of media content can be made, i.e. the effect is that of prohibiting more than a given number of copies within a given time frame.

Abstract: Methods and systems of a voltage generator(100) for protecting integrated circuits (ICs) from power-on sequencing problems provide an interim voltage during power-on sequences in order to prevent over-voltage conditions across IC(120) terminals. Voltages at first and second terminals of a circuit are monitored, and an interim voltage to the second terminal is provided when the voltage at the first terminal exceeds a first threshold and a voltage at the second terminal is below a second threshold. The interim voltage protects the circuit from excessive voltage differences across the first and second terminals during power-on sequences, and is deactivated during normal operation so as not to draw excessive current. The method/system helps to insure that multi-supply dependent logic and/or other circuitry does not receive inappropriate voltage levels, and thus helps to insure that lower voltage level based circuitry is not damaged during power-up, transients, and/or glitches.

Abstract: Techniques for initiating direct communication between an emergency medical device, such as an automated external defibrillator (AED) and a safety agency may include detecting an event and contacting the safety agency in response to the detected event and user authorization. For example, the AED may detect an event such as removal of the AED from a mount and alert an operator of the intent to send contact the safety agency. The AED determines whether an override command was received from the operator in a defined amount of time. When the operator does not input an override command, the AED interprets the absence of the override command as user authorization and contacts the safety agency via a communication unit. For instance, the AED may generate an advisory and send the advisory to the safety agency. The initiation of direct communication between the AED and the safety agency by the AED enables the operator to interact with a patient, e.g., perform CPR on the patient.

Abstract: The invention provided a conveyor belt, which is special in that the belt in a direction
perpendicular to the travelling direction of the belt is made from one single chain link,
and that the transport top surface comprises a wide main portion and the top part of the
eye projections which are flush with the main portion, such that the belt surface is substantially
without apertures and/or openings and further that the hinge-like assembly
arrangement is fully accessible only from the underside of the belt. 
     By this inventive chain link is achieved that the narrow gaps between each assembled
chain link in the prior art is not present such that from a hygienic point of view it becomes
much easier to clean the entire conveyor belt satisfactory in that for each chain
link, which usually constitutes 40 - 60 mm of the total length of the conveyor belt,
which altogether, especially for deboning lines, might be 300-400 meter long, no gaps
are present. This in turn gives the added security that the multitude of gaps, sometimes
more than 30,000 gaps, does not have to be cleaned. This gives rise to a substantial
increase in the confidence that a satisfactory cleaning process complying with the high
hygienic standards in the meat producing business can be achieved.
