Title: Mobile device having a priority adjusting thread for link wi th remote terminal
Inventor: GRAY TOBIAS EDWARD SEBASTIAN
IPC: H04M1/72409
Filed: 2011-05-26
Abstract: A mobile device comprising: a processor 50 running a plurality of threads 44, 54, 56; said plurality of threads comprising a mobile control thread 44, a priority adjusting thread 54, and at least one other thread 56; a scheduler 52 for scheduling threads to be run dependent on their mutual priority; a display 40; an input system 42; and a communication link 48 for connecting said device to a remote terminal. When said mobile control thread is running, the processor captures displayed data, sends said captured data over said communication link, and issues an update sent notification to activate said priority adjusting thread. When said priority adjusting thread is running, the processor: determines, on receipt of an update sent notification, whether a previous update sent notification was issued less than a threshold time earlier; determines whether said mobile control thread has used more than a threshold amount of said processor; if both determining steps are met, reduces said priority of said mobile control thread below a priority of said other thread; and sets a timer whereby, when said timer expires, said priority of said mobile control thread is increased above said priority of said other thread.

Title: Wine rack for storing bottles vertically
Inventor: LECHNER ANDREA LUISA
IPC: A47B73/00
Filed: 2011-06-04
Abstract: A wine rack for holding wine bottles in a vertical, upright position comprises a base unit 5a with a number of lined, pre-formed storage wells for receiving wine bottles. The lining is a material whose friction properties prevent slippage of the bottles. The wells on the base unit 5a are spaced to allow easy visibility and retrieval of any wine bottle without needing to disturb or move any other bottle. The base unit may take the form of a free-standing or wall mounted tray [see Figure 1], or as a pull-out shelf that can be built into kitchen furniture. Several base units may be stacked on top of one another 5a,5b, with the units spaced apart by support columns 6 to form a fixed or rotating multi-level wine rack [see turntable 8, Figure 3].

Title: A method for calibrating an adaptive chassis system of a motorvehicle
Inventor: BONARENS FRANK
IPC: G01M17/00
Filed: 2012-05-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating an adaptive chassis system of a motor vehicle provided within the production process S1 to S6 of the motor vehicle. The chassis system (which may be an axle system) has a sensor for determining the compression- or rebound state of an element (for example, a wheel suspension, brakes, suspension and damping, a wheel carrier, and the wheels with tyres) of the adaptive chassis system, the sensor signals of which are supplied to a control unit, in which a generic sensor characteristic is stored. After the assembly of the element of the adaptive chassis system and of the sensor, the sensor signals are detected (in S7) as a function of the compression- and rebound state of the eleÂ­ment of the adaptive chassis system during the subsequent production process of the motor vehicle and are supplied as raw data to the control unit. AfÂ­ter completion of the production process of the motor vehicle, the raw data and the generic sensor characteristic are used in an algorithm loaded into the control unit for producing a calibration value which is subsequently used in motor vehicle systems; for example, headlamp range adjustment control.

Title: A memory device and method of controlling leakage current within such a memory device
Inventor: CHONG YEW KEONG
IPC: H01L27/11
Filed: 2014-03-05
Abstract: Memory device comprising an array of memory cells 100,155 (for example SRAM cells) whereby each row of cells are coupled to an associated read word line RWL. Columns of cells form column groups whereby the memory cells of each column group are coupled to an associated read bit line RBLTop, 150 or RBLBottom, 185. Each column group has an active mode of operation where a read operation may be performed on an activated memory cell within that column group (320, figure 4), and a non-active mode of operation (300 figure 4) where the read operation cannot be performed. In the active mode of operation, precharge circuitry 170 is used to precharge the associated read bit line to a first voltage level (Vdd) prior to the read operation. Each memory cell has coupling circuitry 130 connected between the associated read bit line and a second voltage level (Ground, Vss) different to the first voltage level, and during the read operation the coupling circuitry associated with the activated memory cell is configured to selectively discharge the associated read bit line towards the second voltage level dependent on the activated cell stored data value 105,110. The memory device further comprises clamping circuitry 190 configured, for each column group in the non-active mode of operation, to connect the associated read bit line to the second voltage level (Ground, Vss), in order to remove a leakage current path through the coupling circuitry of each memory cell of that column group. This approach significantly reduces the leakage current attributable to components of the memory device operating within the non-active mode of operation. The read bit lines 150, 185 are sensed by NAND amplifier 180 with associated keeper, and the output is coupled by NMOS devices 515 to a sensed global bit line 530 within in a hierarchal memory system (fig 6).
