    摘要: A balance ring for an appliance is provided that has features to control fluid distribution particularly during certain critical speeds where large oscillatory motion created by an out of balance condition might otherwise cause the balance ring fluid to redistribute improperly. The balance ring can include an inner chamber that is in fluid communication with an outer chamber. The inner chamber can include baffles that impede the movement of fluid along the circumferential direction when e.g., the balance ring experiences large oscillatory motion.

    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting an out of balance condition for a washing machine are disclosed. The wash basket of the washing machine is rotated at a constant predetermined rotational speed. If the washing machine has an unbalanced load, the wash tub will strike the cabinet as the basket rotates in the wash tub. The tub strikes cause the wash basket to lose momentum. The inverter drive control system causes the inverter to provide more current through the motor phases to the motor to maintain constant speed. From the value of the current, the severity of the tub strikes during a test period can be determined. An out of balance condition can be detected and measured based at least in part on the severity of the tub strikes.

    摘要: End-to-end user anonymity is provided in electronic commerce or other types of online transactions through the use of an intermediary. An intermediary machine, which may be implemented in the form of a set of servers, receives communications from a consumer or other user, and generates and maintains an alias for that user. Connections between the user machine and any online vendor or other web site are implemented through the intermediary using the alias. The intermediary then communicates with the online vendor and supplies intermediary payment information. The online vendor charges the purchase to the intermediary, and redirects the delivery of the goods or services to the destination address provided by the intermediary. The intermediary charges the payment card number of the user, and arranges for the redirection of the delivery to the real user address.

    摘要: A highly linear AC to DC conversion system comprises a variable gain amplifier via which an AC signal to be converted is applied to an AC/DC converter. The output of the AC/DC converter is compared with a reference level and a control signal dependent on the difference therebetween adjusts the gain of the variable gain amplifier so as to reduce the difference. The output of the AC/DC converter is also applied to one input of a comparator, whose DC output is applied via the variable gain amplifier to the other input of the comparator. The variable gain amplifier has exactly the same gain for both AC and DC signals. It can then be shown that the DC output signal produced by the comparator is very accurately linearly related to the magnitude of the AC input signal.

    摘要: The invention provides a device for the detection and mapping of radiation, the device comprising a polymeric core (18) located within an external shell material (1), wherein the polymeric core comprises a plurality of stacked polymeric sheets comprising at least one radiation sensitive component which is sensitive to said radiation emitted by said radioactive materials and the external sheath comprises a collimation sheath (1). Preferably, the polymeric core comprises a cubic, cylindrical, spherical or truncated spherical shape which is encased within the external shell. The external shell is preferably comprised of a metal, most preferably tungsten. The invention also provides a method for the detection and mapping of radiation in a location, which comprises: (a) placing a device according to the invention in the location to be investigated; (b) allowing the device to remain in the location and be exposed to the radiation for a predetermined length of time; (c) removing the device from the location; (d) removing the polymeric core from the external shell; (e) analysing said polymeric core by means of an optical analysis technique applying a software-based image reconstruction algorithm to image the polymeric core; and (f) determining the location, form and intensity of said radiation by further software -based analysis. The device and method of the invention facilitate the detection and mapping of radiation, and find particular use in mapping the location, intensity and identity of radiological hazards in 3 dimensions in sites such as active cells, gloveboxes, other active plants and confined spaces. Advantages over the prior art include significantly improved radiation sensitivity, the lack of requirement for an electrical supply, and the ability to deal with high radiation backgrounds and to be deployed in confined or restricted spaces.
