Title: Semiconductor storage device
Inventor: TANAKA TETSUO
IPC: H01H47/04
Filed: 2004-08-10
Abstract: A drive circuit capable of reducing the size and cost of a DC voltage driven magnet contactor. Since an auxiliary contact (b contact) (5) originally provided in an MC, which opens when a main contact (4) is closed and closes when the main contact (4) is opened, is employed as a system for switching the attraction state and holding state of an operating coil (3), a complex circuit for judging the timing of ending attraction state is not required and the drive circuit is simplified. Since an exciting current flowing through the operating coil (3) is subjected to chopper control using a semiconductor switching element (6) for limiting current, a thick wire is not required in the operating coil (3) but a thin wire equivalent to that being employed in the operating coil of a general purpose AC voltage driven MC can be used, resulting in reduction in size and cost of the DC voltage driven MC.

Title: Vibrating mattresses
Inventor: VELDE JAN VAN DER
IPC: A47D9/02
Filed: 2008-04-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to vibrating mattresses. A vibrating mattress is generally aimed at encouraging a child to sleep. The mattress of the present invention employs sound-activated vibration wherein vibration is automatically initiated once detected sound reaches a threshold level - thereby eliminating the need for manual operation of a mattress during the night. Conventional vibrating mattresses are controlled manually using switches located on or around the mattress. These switches can, in some cases, be difficult to access - if the mattress is used within a cot, for example. Sound-activated vibrating mattresses have previously been proposed. The present invention provides an improved mattress that enables a sound threshold to be selected by a user in order to meet the requirements of a particular child or a particular situation. The present invention further provides for an irregular pattern of vibration within a mattress.
