Abstract:
A leakage protection method and device having a live/neutral wire identification function that identify the live wire and neutral wire of an input power source by means of a live/neutral wire identification device 1. If the live/neutral wires are discovered to be erroneously connected, the connections between the live wire L' and the neutral wire N' of an electric device and the live wire L and the neutral wire N of the power source are immediately adjusted directly or indirectly; or, the connection of a surface leakage signal pickup device 2 is adjusted; or, a main circuit switch K is made such that the main circuit switch cannot close the circuit or that the main circuit switch breaks the circuit immediately after closing the circuit, so that a user must correct the connections of the live/neutral wires of the power source; the surface leakage signal pickup device 2 is arranged such that said device is always connected to the neutral wire N of the power source and to the surface F of the electric device, so as to always monitor the electric potential of the surface F of the electric device over the neutral wire N of the power source. When the electric device surface leaks electricity, the leakage signal pickup device 2 immediately drives an electromagnetic tripping device 3 to break the main circuit switch 3, thereby breaking the connection between the electric device and the power source. The method and device of the present invention can remove leakage before a human body experiences an electric shock, thereby eliminating potential accidents; leakage accidents due to connection errors are prevented; electric device surface leakage can be effectively prevented even when the electric device is not connected to ground.
Abstract:
A method of electricity leakage detection and prevention of electrical equipment's outer surface and system thereof. The method and system are used for detecting and preventing electricity leakage of the electrical equipment's outer surface caused by defective insulation and power supply connection faults. By monitoring the current path (2) formed between the electrical equipment neutral line (Nu') and the electrical equipment's outer surface (G') and monitoring the current value thereof, an electricity leakage of the outer surface of electrical equipment can be detected without human intervention, and the connection between the electrical equipment and the power supply can subsequently be cut off and an alarm activated. In the system, a power supply path (5) is set up to ensure a source of power, and thereby normal operation, even when the power supply connection fails. According to the method and system, the electricity leakage of the outer surface can be correctly detected and the alarm can be activated or the connection between the electrical equipment and the power supply can be cut even if the electrical equipment's outer surface is free. With the advantage of simple construction and low cost, the system can be widely used.
Abstract:
The invention provides a solar-radiation receiver comprising a container with a wall and also comprising an interior space, enclosed by the wall, and a rotary-drive device, by means of which the container can be rotated about an axis of rotation, wherein the container has an axis which is oriented parallel, or at an acute angle, to the direction of gravitational force, wherein heat transfer medium can be channelled through the container to form a film of heat transfer medium on an inner side of the wall.
Abstract:
A cache memory system is provided that uses multi-bit Error Correcting Code (ECC) with a low storage and complexity overhead. The cache memory system can be operated at very low idle power, without dramatically increasing transition latency to and from an idle power state due to loss of state.

Abstract:
A method and system are disclosed for aligning a lithography template (120) having a pattern with a sunstrate (130) in preparation for transferring the pattern to a surface of the substrate (130). The system includes an optical imaging system (100) adapted to image a first alignbment structure formed on a top surface of the template (120) using light of a first wavelength and a second alignment structure formed on a top surface of the substrate (130) using light of a second wavelength.
Abstract:
Obfuscation of a software image so as to becloud the comprehension of hackers in reverse engineering pieces of software comprising the software image is provided (402). A process for determining whether the hardware resources, such as the central processing unit or the cache memory on a computing machine, belong to a class for which inhibiting software tampering is possible, is also provided (442). Thread protection inhibits tampering with various threads that execute protective pieces of software (443). Service protection inhibits tampering by allowing various unauthorized services to execute (407). Installation setup protection inhibits tampering during the installation of various pieces of software (202). Hardware protection prevents hackers from forcing various pieces of software from running on unauthorized pieces of hardware (3B).
Abstract:
A multi-attach reusable security tag that is attached to an article in two stages, a first stage, an attachment clip is coupled to an article, to be protected by a manufacturer. This attachment clip is durable to withstand harsh manufacturing environments. When article is ready for presentation during a second stage, the attachment clip is then secured in a releasable locking mechanism of a housing containing a security element therein. The security element may comprise EAS, RFID elements or any combination thereof. Alternatively, a fluke element can be used to secure the attachment clip to the releasable locking mechanism and wherein this fluke element permits the attachment clip to swivel outside ofthe housing. Preferred embodiment of the security tag uses non-ferrous components. Security tags combine the qualities of being non-ferrous, light-weight, low cost, deactivatable, secure, visually-deterring, and installable in two stages to the article it is meant to protect.
