摘要:
A control circuit is disclosed for appliances such as dishwashers and clothes washers. The control circuit employs a microprocessor programmed to respond to user selected options to determine the operating sequence of the appliance. The control circuit includes an overfill system which permits the microprocessor to detect and identify a flood condition in response to a signal from a float assembly. The flood signal causes the microprocessor to initiate a flood control routine which interrupts the normal operating cycle being executed, if any, and initiates and maintains operation of a drain cycle until the water returns to the normal level for a predetermined period of time. The flood routine overrides all other program control thereby preventing any other machine function until the flood condition has been eliminated and there has been user interaction. The user is advised of the flood condition via an alpha-numeric digital display on the appliance control panel. The overfill system will be activated regardless of the operative state of the appliance.

A scientific experiment control system includes a main controller for high-level control, an experimental manager for lower-level control of scientific experiments, and a roll-up engine for automatically propagating modifications (or “changes”) within the system to ensure consistency across the system and instruments which are linked to it in an automatic and dynamic manner. When any of experiment control objects automatically detects a change event as defined by any of the metrics inherited from the metric objects it transmits a notification to an interface. The latter automatically instantiates a change event object, which is managed in a queue by an input interface of the roll-up engine. The roll-up engine automatically interrogates the network of objects contained in the program object to determine the identity of every object in the hierarchy down to the notifying object which is involved in performance of the current experiment run. It then automatically transmits a notification to each of these identified objects.

It then automatically transmits a notification to each of these identified objects. The notification is simply a message identifying the event and the change event originating object. Each object which receives the notification has sufficient codes in its software code methods to automatically act upon the notification to implement the actions considered necessary.

The present invention is designed to detect instantaneous variations in the current flowing through a motor (5), instantaneous variations in the rotation of an agitating body (4), or instantaneous variations in the rotation of the motor (5) to thereby detect the washing load size. On the basis of the detection signal, the washing process is controlled to make it possible to properly set the washing bath ratio, detergent concentration, washing time, and number of revolutions of the fabrics being washed.

摘要:
A method and an apparatus for operating a control unit for controlling operational sequences in a vehicle. When operational sequences are error-free, the control functions of the built-in control unit are partially or completely suppressed. This allows additional functions to be switched in and out, and also allows modification and/or adaptation of data and/or programs that are accessed by the control functions. In the specific operating instance of the application, a further control unit is insertable into the vehicle wiring harness between the first control unit and a sensor arrangement, collection, group or system and an actuator arrangement, collection, group or system. The control functions suppressed in the control unit are then performable by the second control unit. The control unit then performs only the measurement functions and actuation functions The sequence is initiated and controlled by integrated remote-control functions, which are in addition to the normal or other functions. Since the second control unit is accessible and is designed in accordance with its application task, the application of the control unit may be performed using control functions exported therefrom.
