Abstract: A power saving method and apparatus while maintaining an operational or near-operational state for computer memory disk drives. A microprocessor implements microcode instructions to determine if a disk drive is inactive. This is done by checking a control unit through an interface to see if any files are currently opened or data is being transferred by the disk device. If no files are opened and/or no data transfers are occurring, the drive is considered inactive. If the inactive period continues for a period of time which is greater than a predetermined reference activity level, then actions are taken to reduce the rotational velocity of the drive spindle motor to its lowest operational level, or just below the lowest operational level without stopping the disk. The spindle motor is accessed by the microprocessor through a spindle motor control unit. In the case of a constant linear velocity disk drive, the spindle motor is indirectly controlled by the microprocessor sending a message to an actuator to move a data head to a track that is near the outer periphery of the disk medium. In order to maintain a constant linear velocity, the spindle control slows the angular velocity of the motor resulting in a reduction of power consumed. When it is necessary to access data again, the drive enters an active state and the head is moved by a microprocessor "seek" command. In the case of a constant angular velocity disk drive having selectable speeds, the microprocessor controls the motor speed directly. The microprocessor, upon determining that the disk has been inactive for a predetermined threshold period, selects a constant speed that is the lowest operation speed available. This results in a power saving mode being implemented for the disk drive The drive is returned to normal operational speed by a microprocessor "seek" command. For further savings, the motor is stopped or "spun down" when left inactive for a longer period of time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a guide for a selector lever (2) for a gearbox, in which the selector lever is movable in two gear-shift gates (9,11) which are parallel to each other and which are connected by a transverse gate (10). In order to guide the selector lever (2) in such a way as to ensure a reliable positioning of the selector lever on leaving the first gear-shift gate (9) and on re-entering the first gear-shift gate (9), it is proposed according to the invention to design a guide (12) for the selector lever with the aid of a structural member which is arranged immediately adjacent to the selector lever. This structural member has a face which extends in a plane parallel to the plane of movement of the selector lever. A guide member provided directly on the selector lever engages over the structural member and rests against the side of the face remote from the selector lever, so that the selector lever is guided in the plane of movement thereof. For the transverse movement of the selector lever (2), an aperture is provided at that point on the face at which the guide member is present when the selector lever is at the level of the transverse gate.

Abstract: The improvement to the gas meter comprises a mechanism for controlling when the gas control valve should be shut-off and thereby alleviate the drain upon the battery which is used to drive the electronic circuitry within the gas meter. The gas meter comprises a base meter module 1 which has associated therewith a add-on module 2 which when connected to the base meter module 1 communicates to the base meter module via an optical interface 7, 8. The add-on module 2 includes a central processing unit 9 which is arranged to calculate a volume index threshold shut-off value which is transmitted to the base meter module 1 and is stored within the control system 5. During meter operation, the base meter module 1 monitors the volume index value and when that value is equal to or greater than the value stored in the control system, the base meter module 1 causes the gas valve 6 to operate and thereby close the valve and shut-off the gas supply to the meter. This method of monitoring volume index in the base meter module uses less power than continually transferring information across greater periodicity and therefore the battery life is extended. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An ink cartridge loading mechanism for a printer is disclosed for lessening the space required to place or replace an ink cartridge in an ink jet printer. To place an ink cartridge 20 in an ink cartridge loading mechanism 10 of a printer, first the ink cartridge 20 is pushed into a receptacle section 50 vertically from the top. Next, an operation lever 65 of a slide mechanism 60 is turned to slide the receptacle section 50 into contact with an ink supply needle 31 horizontally. As a result, a loading state in which the ink supply needle 31 is completely inserted into an ink supply port of the ink cartridge 20 is formed. A large amount of space in the direction of loading of the ink cartridge is not needed. Therefore, there are fewer restrictions on the location of the printer and the amount of space needed for the printer is reduced. <IMAGE>
