A method for operating a sensor module having a humidity sensor for ascertaining the relative humidity, at least one first measured value for the relative humidity being ascertained with the aid of the humidity sensor. It is provided that an ambient temperature in the area of the humidity sensor is changed with the aid of a temperature control device; at least one second measured value for the relative humidity is ascertained with the aid of the humidity sensor after the change in ambient temperature in the area of the humidity sensor; and an operating state and/or a proper operation of the humidity sensor is inferred as a function of the first and second measured values.

A dishwasher including a variable spray device operable to spray a liquid into a washing container of the dishwasher, the variable spray device, and a method thereof. The variable spray device may be structured to include a chamber for receiving the liquid therein, such as a dishwashing liquid or water, and a liquid deflector disposed in the chamber. The liquid deflector may have a geometrically shaped perimeter, for example, a conical shape, that allows for the generation of a centrifugal force within the chamber used in directing the spray of the liquid into the washing container. By varying a force or pressure of the liquid as it interacts with the liquid deflector in the chamber, variable spray patterns may be generated.

Circuits and methods for a switched power converter providing charge power for at least one battery and at the same time delivering current to operate an electronic device, wherein the converter is enabled to operate out of current limit mode, for the maximum possible range of system load requirements, have been achieved. The input current of the power converter is measured within each cycle-by-cycle, i.e. within each cycle of an external clock reference and the charge current is reduced if the input current exceeds a defined portion, e.g. 80% of the maximum allowable input current. The power converter may only enter current limited operation after the charge current has been already reduced to zero. Operating out of current limit mode ensures a maximum efficiency of the converter, maximize the current deliverable to a given load and minimizes subharmonics in the output current and voltage, thereby minimizing interference with other system component.

A loads interface (1) of an aircraft structure with an edge member (6) and a background structure both preferably made from fiber reinforced plastics. A loads transferring flange (2) is adapted and mounted to said edge member (6) to transmit bending moments into the background structure. Said loads transferring flange (2) is provided with two angled upper and lower planes (8, 9). Said edge member (6) is provided with two angled edge member's upper and lower transfer planes (10, 11). The two angled upper and lower planes (8, 9) and the two angled edge member's upper and lower transfer planes (10, 11) are paired essentially parallel and respectively oriented to each other with an angle of approximately 90° . The invention relates as well to applications of such a loads interface (1).

Circuits and methods for current limited DC-to-DC converters having multiple power sources have been disclosed. One of multiple power sources is activated by a multiplexer. A current sensing unit, deployed close to the multiplexer, detects if an input current to the DC-to-DC converter has reached a current limit. In case the current limit is reached a signal is sent to the DC-to-DC converter to reduce the current drawn the DC-to-DC converter.

An appliance including a two-way radio frequency identification (RFID) device for dynamic communications, with for example, an RFID reader used by a technician. The RFID device may include an electronic controller structured to control operating functions of the appliance. The RFID device may further include a storage medium structured to store information about the appliance and computer-executable instructions operable to control the operating functions of the appliance. A transmitter may be incorporated allowing the appliance to send and receive dynamic data between the appliance and one or more remote RFID devices using two-way communication protocols at all levels.
摘要:
Pixels are classified as text; or “non-text” by responding to accumulated luminous brightness gradients within a predetermined pixel interior. Text and non-text image characteristics rest on estimating text-containing rectangles by determining a narrow width and a height of a peak in an interval of accumulated gradients around each pixel. The text characteristics also are inferred by detecting character corners by quantifying and smoothing gradient angles and by associating directional corner responses with each pixel.

Circuits and methods for dynamic adjustment of the current limit of a power management unit to avoid unwanted automatic interruption of the power flow have been disclosed. The invention can be applied to switched and linear DC-to-DC converters. The power management unit is automatically adjusted to the output resistance of a power source (including interconnect resistance). The invention maximizes the time and hence the power transferred from a power management unit to the system (including the battery, in case of battery operated systems). The input current is reduced, thus increasing the input voltage in case of a high voltage drop across the internal resistance including interconnections between power source and power management unit.
