Title: Dynamic processor power management device and method thereof
Inventor: BRANOVER ALEX
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2008-05-16
Abstract: A processor (105) can operate in different power modes. In an active power mode, the processor executes software (303). In response to receiving a halt indication (304) from the software, hardware at the processor evaluates bus transactions (306) for the processor. If the bus transactions meet a heuristic (307), hardware places a processor core in a lower power mode, such as a retention mode (308). Because the bus transactions are evaluated by hardware, rather than by software, and the software is not required to perform handshakes and other protocols to place the processor in the lower power mode, the processor is able to place the processor core into the lower power mode more quickly, thereby conserving power.

Title: Equipment for circular knitting machines
IPC: D04B35/34
Filed: 1962-03-16
Abstract: 975,806. Knitting-machines. N. CORAH (ST. MARGARET) Ltd, J. A. SHARH, and D. L. JINKS. March 1, 1963 [March 16, 1962], No. 10076/62. Heading D1G. Socks knitted as stringwork on a circular machine by reciprocatory knitting are coupled by loose courses formed from an alginate thread, the socks being separated from each other by a severing device 8 positioned immediately after the takedown rollers 3 cutting through the fabric where the loose courses occur. The severing device is actuated under the control of a photo-electric device 39, 41 which senses the position of the loose courses and thereby initiates the operation of the severing device. The severing device 8 comprises a pivoted blade 15 co-operating with a fixed blade 12 and between which the fabric normally passes. A tensioning plate 23 coupled to the blade 15 serves to hold the work beneath the blade 12 when the blade 15 is operated. The severing device 8 is mounted on a frame 13 bolted to the plate 5 supporting the take-down rollers 3. The plate 5 is reciprocatorily driven in timed relation with the knitting machine so that the take-down rollers and severing device are similarly reciprocated. An arm 21 is secured to blade 15 and a spring 26 serves to hold the blade in an inoperative position. When the fabric is to be severed a stop 30 is lowered into the path of the reciprocating severing device so that the end 25 of the arm 21 engages the stop 30 and deflects the arm 15 to cause it to wipe across the top of the blade 12 and cut the fabric. The stop 30 is secured to one end of a pivoted arm 31 which is normally held raised by a spring 33 in an inoperative position. When the photo-electric cell device senses the loose courses to be positioned just below the blade 12 it causes a solenoid 36 to be engaged to cause a link 35 to pull the arm 31 down and the stop 30 into the path of the arm 21. Links 44 on a pattern chain 42 control the supply to the projector 39 of the photo-electric cell device such that the supply is only available for the period during which the loose courses are likely to be passing within the vicinity of the device, thereby avoiding accidental operation of the severing device. Instead of cutters a hot wire which is movable in such a way as to sever by fusion material of a thermoplastic nature may be provided.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of articles containing rubber or similar material
IPC: B05D7/26
Filed: 1930-03-31
Abstract: Semi-permeable materials such as fabric, parchment, woven rubber, are coated on both sides with rubber by deposition from aqueous dispersions, by applying to one side a dispersion having a pH value less than 7, preferably containing particles carrying electropositive charges, and to the other side an alkaline dispersion having a pH value of 7 or more. Deposition may be aided by electrophoretic means by introducing an anode in the acid dispersion, and a kathode into the alkaline dispersion.  The dispersions may be natural or artificial dispersions of rubber, natural or synthetic, gutta, balata, to which may be added oils, cellulose esters, proteins, reclaim, compounding and vulcanizing ingredients, &c., and the dispersion may be concentrated as in Specification 290,313, [Class 70, Indiarubber &c.].  According to an example, an acid latex consists of 95 parts of rubber, 3 parts of sulphur, 0,5 parts of zinc diethyldithiocarbamate, and 1,5 parts of zinc stearate.  The sulphur, accelerator and stearate are separately dispersed in normal acetic acid, with 3 per cent of casein.  Latex containing 60 per cent solids is freed from ammonia, ammonium caseinate and dilute acetic acid are added to give a dispersion containing 25 per cent rubber, 0,4 per cent casein, and 5 per cent of acetic acid and the other dispersions are added to it.  An alkaline latex containing 0,2 per cent of ammonia is also prepared.  A paper or parchment container is filled with the acid latex and immersed in the alkaline latex to about the same depth.  In a few minutes, a coating of rubber is formed on both sides.  Electrodes may be immersed in both acid and alkaline latices, and a current, e.g. of 2 amp. per 100 sq. cm. passed, to accelerate the rate of deposition.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric signal transmission systems
IPC: H04B3/10
Filed: 1937-04-09
Abstract: 480,219. Transmission systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. April 9, 1937; No. 10157. Convention date, April 10, 1936. [Class 40 (iv)] A transmission line is provided with means for giving an alarm signal in the event of a change in energy level and for differentiating between prolonged changes, due e.g. to temperature variations, and brief changes, due e.g. to an intermittent fault on the line. The prolonged changes are compensated by manual volume-control and the brief changes dealt with by removal of the cause. The invention is described with reference to a multiplex carrier-wave system in which separate bands are employed for each direction and a pilot frequency within each band controls the alarm signals. At repeater stations alarm circuits are associated with each one-way path and observation of alarm-recording devices at the various repeater stations enables the locality of a line fault to be determined. The Figure shows an alarm circuit with a filter 20, 21 for selecting the pilot frequency. To detect prolonged changes of energy level, switch contacts 26, 27 are closed. Voltmeter relay 23 operates relay 40 to remove paralyzing ground from the grid of valve 37 so that after a delay caused by condenser 46. and resistance 47, relay 38 operates and energizes relay 41 which lights lamps 55, 56 and through relay 57 operates an alarm 64. An ammeter 24 shows whether the change is an increase or a decrease and serves to indicate when the correct compensation has been applied. The alarm is stopped by closing key 65 to operate relay 60. To detect brief changes, switch contacts 28 .. 30 are closed whereby delay valve 37 is cut out, condenser 36 is disconnected to make relay 23 very quick-acting, and relay 40 immediately energizes relay 41 to close the alarm circuit. A recording device 42 is also operated. The alarm is stopped as before by closing key 65, relay 60 also releasing relay 40 which had looked over its upper winding. Key 38 serves to cut out the alarm circuits when variations are being made of the grid-bias on valve 23a to adjust the initial deflection of ammeter 24. If a valve filament fails, normally-operated relay 45 releases, energizing relays 38, 41 to give the alarm.

Abstract: 699,653. Shaft seals. REY, J., and LOMBART, L. May 1, 1951 [May 8, 1950], No. 10190/51. Class 122(v) A seal for a shaft bearing 2 that is filled with lubricant under pressure comprising a labyrinth seal located at each side of the bearing and comprising an outer ring 6 carried by the bearing housing and made of an elastic material such as rubber formed with a relatively thin inwardly projecting circular portion 6b that normally engages with substantial clearance a groove 4a in an inner ring 4 carried by the shaft 1 but which during the bearing filling process is caused by the lubricant pressure to engage and form a seal with the side of the groove 4a remote from the bearing. The portion 6b of the ring 6 is enlarged at its inner edge 6c by axially extending portions and the outer ring 4 is reinforced by a Z section metal ring 7 and a metal washer 8 carried thereby and has a thin lateral cylindrical portion 6d that closely surrounds a corresponding pprtion of the inner ring 4 and acts as a seal when the shaft is at rest. Pressure lubricant is introduced when filling through a central bore 16 and a radial bore 1c in the shaft and a passage 4e in the right hand inner ring 4 and escapes when the bearing is filled through passages 4e, 4f of the left hand inner ring 4 and past the cylindrical portion 6d of the left hand outer ring 6.

Abstract: 931,910. Electric selective-signalling systems. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Feb. 9, 1960 [March 24, 1959], No. 10213/59. Class 40 (1). In a device for determining the value of voltage peaks a reed vibrator, Fig. 1, connects an unknown input voltage at B and a voltage at terminal A alternately to the grid of a pentode V1, biased to conduct only when the potential at B is greater than the potential at A. If V1 conducts, pulses corresponding to contact between the reed and B, pass to a stepping device SU1 of a multicathode tube T1. Carry devices SU2' SU3 enable the use of higher order tubes T2 and T3' The position of the discharge determines the potential drop across a resistance chain R1, R2' R3 and hence the potential at A. The tubes are stepped until the potential at A increases to equal that at B when V1 ceases to transmit pulses, the positions of the glow discharges in the three tubes T1 ... T3 thus indicating the peak value reached by the potential applied to B. In a modification (Fig. 3, not shown), a gating similar to V1 valve is included between the amplifier and device SU3 and is biased to effect a direct entry into the third stage 73 when the voltage difference between A and B is relatively high.
