Patent CA-2646568-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VOLKAR JOHN
IPC: G06M11/00
Filed: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A singulating disc (20), carried by a housing, has a plurality of openings (28) around its periphery. The disc (20) rotates vertically through a pickup chamber of a hopper (12) carried by the housing. A vacuum is pulled through the openings (28) by a pump which is connected to the disc (20). Items are placed in the hopper (12) and, via gravity, fall to the bottom of the hopper (12) where they contact the periphery of the rotating disc (20). The vacuum at the openings attaches an item and holds it while the disc (20) rotates. At the top of the disc's rotation, a diverter (26) directs the item into a path depending on the results of a fragment detection and/or counting mechanism. Items that are allowed to pass by the diverter (26) are scraped off the disc into another path by a scraper (15). Negative pressure is used to singulate and count a multitude of sizes and shapes of items with no calibration. Retractable paddles (62), a vacuum management system, and RFID tags may be incorporated. The paddles (62) aid in the pickup and agitation of the items while the vacuum management system conserves the vacuum capacity necessary to pickup and singulate items. The RFID tags may contain information such as the number of items left in the hopper, a par level for that item, an expiration date, among others.

Title: A method and appliance for using a dynamic response time to determine responsiveness of network services
Inventor: SHETTY ANIL
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2007-08-02
Abstract: In a method and appliance for using a dynamic response time to determine responsiveness of one or more network services on a server, a monitor determines a response time for each of one or more network services. The monitor establishes an average response time based on the determined response time for each of the one or more network services. The monitor associates with the established average response time a predetermined threshold for which the response time of the one or more network services may deviate from the average response time and maintain an indication of responsiveness. The monitor monitors the response time of the one or more network services to one or more requests. The monitor determines that the response time of the one or more network services deviates from the average response time by the predetermined threshold. The monitor indicates that the one or more network services are unavailable.

IPC: B60R15/04
Filed: 2009-05-11
Abstract: A wastewater holding tank sensor probe for use in determining the presence of a conductive liquid held within a wastewater holding tank in a recreational vehicle is disclosed. The probe is less sensitive to the presence of conductive residue as a result of an improved geometry and/or choice of materials that reduce the leakage currents between the probe tip and the sensor probe attachment surface, typically the wall of the tank. This reduction in sensitivity to conductive residue buildup can be measured by a geometrically determined resistivity factor between the probe tip and the mounting surface of the probe. The reduction in sensitivity can also be measured by the length of the path through the conductive residue between the probe tip and the mounting surface of the probe. A variety of geometries and material choices to reduce the sensitivity of electrical conductance based sensor probes to conductive residue are disclosed.
