Abstract:
A circuit interrupter comprises a pair of fixed contact strips, a pair of movable contact strips, a reset component, a movable component, and a tripping component that contains a reset contact. Each of the fixed contact strips has a fixed contact. Each of the movable contact strips has a fixed end and a movable end which has a movable contact arranged for contacting one of the corresponding fixed contacts. The movable component is disposed to sustain the movable ends of the movable contact strips and is capable of either being latched with or released from the reset component to move between a first position where the movable contacts are separated from the fixed contacts and the movable contact strips are separated from the reset contact, a second position where either the movable contact strip contacts the reset contact and the movable contacts are separated from the fixed contacts, and a third position where the movable contacts make contact with the respective fixed contacts and the movable contact strips are separated from the reset contact. The tripping component is capable of latching the reset component with the movable component for the movable component to move to the third position upon detection of a reset request and releasing the reset component from the movable component for movable component to move to the first position upon detection of a fault condition.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a pluggable custom data binding system and method utilizing a generic data structure exchanged between a run-time system and a user define binding logic in Web Service Applications. The custom data binding system may replace the existing mappings for XML schema types. The custom binder is a function that works with the pairing of a particular XML schema type and Java type. The custom binder may define an interface including serialize and de-serialize methods to convert between Java objects and SOAPElements. After the custom binder is plugged into the run-time system, this custom binder may interact with the run-time system through use of SOAPElement. The custom binding provider may aggregate related custom binders to support particular custom data bindings. The custom binding provider may be created for a specific application that has a few XML schema types that are not supported by the JAX-RPC specification.
Abstract:
A sense amplifier pulse shaping circuit maintains a relationship between a sense amplifier enable signal and a sense amplifier equalization enable signal while disabling equalization prior to evaluation and disabling evaluation prior to equalization. In some embodiments of the present invention, a sense amplifier pulse shaper circuit generates a sense amplifier equalization control signal and a sense amplifier enable signal. The sense amplifier equalization control signal has a rising transition effectively earlier than the rising transition of the sense amplifier enable signal. The sense amplifier enable signal has a falling transition effectively earlier than the falling transition of the sense amplifier equalization control signal. The sense amplifier equalization signal is discharged into the sense amplifier enable signal.
Abstract:
An illuminated electric toothbrush comprising a light emitting diode emitting light having a flux density of at least about 30 mW/cm2. An illuminated electric toothbrush having this level of flux density can result in an oral care benefit such as whitening. When this toothbrush is used within the oral cavity the heat generated by the toothbrush remains low enough that the surface temperature of the teeth remains below about 43° C. The flux density of at least about 30 mW/cm2 can be achieved by overpowering the light emitting diode, by using a light emitting diode having at least about two dices, and by providing a pulsed or non-continuous current to the LED which results in a pulsing or non-continuous light.

Abstract:
A method of preparing a polymer-protein composite based upon placing a protein in solution in an organic phase via the ion-pairing of the protein with a surfactant. The polymer-protein composites are useful, for example, as highly active and stable catalysts, in for example, paints and coatings, as well as in medical application.
Abstract:
A domestic oven includes a housing defining a cooking chamber, at least one stationary first heating element in the chamber, a shelf movably disposed in the chamber, a second heating element mounted to the shelf, and a drive operatively connected to the shelf for translating the shelf, together with the second heating element, in the housing. The shelf is made of heat conductive metal. A temperature sensor in heat conductive contact with the shelf senses the temperature of the shelf and of a metal tray or pan placed on the shelf in heat conductive contact therewith. The temperature sensor is operatively connected to an energization circuit for the second heating element for de-energizing the second heating element upon detecting a sudden rise in temperature. The second heating element is mounted to the shelf via insulating spacers. The oven is used to perform a hybrid steaming and baking method.

Abstract:
A solid state peripheral storage device receives an LSN address from a computer system and provides a mapping to a PSN data. The PSN data addresses memory units which are made out of solid state floating gate storage cells. In addition, a microsequencer controls the operation of the translation of the mapping of the LSN to PSN. Through the use of the mapping of LSN to PSN, defective sectors in the memory units can be mapped out and fresh, unused, defective-free sectors can then be replaced, all automatically, without user intervention. Finally, the microsequencer has error recovery routines to further enhance the reliability of the peripheral device.
