Abstract:
A multifunction unit for control of multimedia equipment; the unit might act as a stand-alone device or being integrated into the multimedia equipment. Different individual combinations of individual objects enable for different functional capabilities. The multifunction unit for control of multimedia equipment has access to external sources via standard network interfaces and protocols.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an input device where the input, is created by translating a front plate in relation to the chassis such that the translation movement may easily be controlled, and at the same time, due to the freedom built into the device, any level of menu control and selection criteria may be provided.
Abstract:
An atomizer wheel comprising an annular chamber provided with a number of conical outlet holes lined with bushings extending a distance into the chamber.
Abstract:
A container (2) for bulk matter comprises a rigid mouthpiece (5), a pouch (4) in sealing connection with the mouthpiece, and a septum (6), which seals off the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece defines a lumen (7) matched to the pouch in order that the septum may be pierced to free an opening, by which any matter held by the container will be permitted to leave said pouch by flowing through the opening, substantially without meeting any restrictions. The invention also provides a cartridge with a powdered filling, and a method of manufacturing a cartridge.
Abstract:
A process for obtaining a package containing at least two mutually reactive materials comprises the steps of introducing the reactive materials into an evelope suitable for vacuum packing, placing the reactive materials within the envelope in separate layers with at least one intervening separating layer of a material which is inert relative to the adjacent layer of a reactive material, evacuating and sealing the envelope.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a system for optimizing the performance of a loudspeaker system as perceived by user.The physical part of the speaker system is adjustable which enables the speaker units to be placed in positions that imply maximal acoustical performance. This is obtained by combined means to: 1) bring the speaker in a specified position and 2) apply accordingly position dependant individual acoustical filters inserted in the signal path to each individual speaker.

Abstract:
A helical screw lift system for an elevator includes a rigid vertical frame having at least one rigid vertical rail; and a single elongate helical screw having an inclined helical flight. The screw is rotatably vertically mounted to the frame at opposite ends of the screw. A motor mounted to the frame rotates the screw. A carriage is mounted to the vertical rail for vertical translation. An elevator platform is mounted to the carriage. Four wheels are rigidly mounted cantilevered from the carriage. The wheels engage and bear down on the helical flight of the screw for rolling translation therealong when the screw is rotated about its longitudinal axis so as to raise or lower the elevator platform.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a control circuit for a self-starting electric motor of the type having stator windings in respective series relation with gate type electronic switches which are controlled by control impulses generated in a gate circuit. A motor starting pulse generator is connected to the gate circuit which generates short starting pulses and long blocking pulses. Motor operating controls responsive to commutation impulses are connected to the gate circuit which override the effects of the motor starting pulse generator during normal operation. An integrator for the commutation pulses generates a voltage level signal which corresponds to the speed of the motor. A comparator compares this signal with a reference voltage and, when the signal reaches a predetermined level, the motor starting generator is overriden. When the motor is stopped for any reason the short starting pulses attempt to start the motor at intervals determined by the length of the blocking signals. By way of example, the short starting pulses could have 0.28 seconds duration compared to 22.4 seconds duration for the blocking pulses.
