Abstract: The present invention provides a digital-based mechanism for adjusting the power consumption in an integrated digital circuit such as a processor. The processor includes one or more functional units and a digital throttle that monitors activity states of the processor's functional units to estimate the processor's power consumption. One embodiment of the digital throttle includes one or more gate units, a monitor circuit, and a throttle circuit. Each gate unit controls the delivery of power delivery to a functional unit of the processor and provides a signal that indicates the activity state of its associated functional unit. The monitor circuit determines an estimated power consumption level from the signals and compares the estimated power consumption with a threshold power level. The throttle circuit adjusts the instruction flow in the processor if the estimated power consumption level exceeds the threshold power level.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the mechanical milking of animals, in which the milk is withdrawn according to the vacuum milking principle. The invention aims to provide a method which permits an optimal stimulation of the animal to be milked and simultaneously prevents a break in the milk curve at the beginning of the primary milking phase and the associated climbing action of the milking cup on the teat. According to the invention, milk is withdrawn not only during the primary milking phase and during a subsequent stripping phase, but also during a stimulation phase which precedes the primary milking phase, albeit in significantly smaller quantities. During the greater part of said stimulation phase, the number of pulses per minute is continuously or periodically increased to at least double that of the normal number of pulses that is applied during the primary and/or stripping phase and the maximum duration of the suction phase within a pulse is limited to a third of the entire duration of the pulse.

Abstract: A method and a device for conditioning electric installations in buildings for the rapid transmission of data produces symmetrical transmissions paths, along which high frequency signals can be transmitted with substantially no interference, using low-level emission. By introducing an inductance coil into the neutral conductor, as closely as possible to the earth point of the building, the conductor becomes insulated for high frequencies whereas the remaining conductors constitute the high-frequency earth. The high-frequency communication signals are transmitted between the neutral conductor and the protective conductor. This produces transmission channels with relatively good symmetry and negligible interference, which permit a significantly improved exploitation of resources.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a mobile telephone (1) is provided with a reader (21) for reading data from a physical data carrier (10). Physical data carriers are incorporated into accessories of the device, for example a telephone carrying case. The act of inserting the telephone (1) into the case causes the reader (21) to read data from the data carrier (10) and the data is used to implement required device settings of the electronic device. The data carrier may be a bar code, RF tag or contact tag. By providing a number of carrying cases each with its own data carrier (10), merely exchanging cases initiates a number of associated device settings to be selected. Each case may be associated with a particular environment or user context allowing the user to alter the behaviour of the device to suit context merely by interchanging carrying case. Data carrier may also be provided in other accessories such as car-telephone kits and battery chargers to alter device behaviour accordingly. Device settings include those which govern the type of information relayed to the user when the device receives information from data delivery services.
