US Patent:

20060220652, Oct 5, 2006

Filed:

Mar 31, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/095836

Inventors:

Karl Keppeler - Bellport NY, US

International Classification:

G01N 27/416

US Classification:

324426000

Abstract:

Described is system and method for controlling power of a computing terminal with an external power source. In particular, a voltage is measured within a system using a voltage detector of a computing terminal. The system includes a battery which provides power to the system and the terminal. When the measured voltage changes to a first level, a first procedure is initiated to monitor the voltage for a time period. Upon expiration of the time period, if the monitored voltage has not changed to a second level, a second procedure is initiated to power off the terminal.

Appl. No.:

11/095684

Inventors:

Karl Keppeler - Bellport NY, US

International Classification:

G06F 13/38

US Classification:

710062000

Abstract:

Described is a system which includes a first device connected to a second device via a USB cable. The cable has a first USB connector and a second USB connector. The first device includes a first USB port, a second USB port and a voltage detector coupled to the second port. The detector detects a voltage at the second port. The first port is configured to accept the first connector and the second port is configured to accept the second connector. The second device includes at least one of a third USB port and a fourth USB port. The third port is configured to accept the first connector and the fourth port is configured to accept the second connector. The first device switches operation between a host state and a client state based on the detected voltage at the second port.

International Classification:

F24F 3/14

US Classification:

236 44 C

Abstract:

Controlling internal humidity for a device by receiving an environmental parameter relating to a humidity control in the device, analyzing the environmental parameter to determine a humidity condition of the device, and sending a signal to activate a heater based on the humidity condition. A device including humidity control includes a humidity measuring arrangement, a temperature measuring arrangement, a processor receiving a humidity input from the humidity measuring arrangement and a temperature input from the temperature measuring arrangement, the processor comparing the humidity input and temperature input to stored data to determine a humidity condition of the device and a heater which is activated upon the determination of a predetermined humidity condition.

International Classification:

H04Q 5/22

US Classification:

340 101

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for managing power consumed by an RFID reader are described. Such methods, systems and apparatuses can include, for example, controlling RFID reader power levels by detecting proximity to an RFID tagged object, by motion detection of RFID readers and tags. Using internal and/or external sensor modules, power management capabilities of the RFID reader are enhanced leading to less frequent recharging of the RFID reader.

H03K 7/08

Abstract:

A color correction device includes a computation engine including a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The computation engine is configured to receive reference color data. A software application stored in the memory and configured to compute adjustment values needed to achieve the reference color data from a target color. An output configured to output color corrected signals to light emitting diodes (LEDs) to achieve a reference color associated with the reference color data from the target color of the LEDs.

International Classification:

G09B 23/30
G05D 7/06

Abstract:

The present invention describes a device and system for simulating normal and disease state cardiovascular functioning, including an anatomically accurate left cardiac simulator for training and medical device testing. The system and device uses pneumatically pressurized chambers to generate ventricle and atrium contractions. In conjunction with the interaction of synthetic valves, which simulate mitral and aortic valves, the system is designed to generate pumping action that produces accurate volume fractions and pressure gradients of pulsatile flow, duplicating that of a human heart. Through the use of a control unit and sensors, one or more parameters, such as flow rates, fluidic pressure, and heart rate, may be automatically controlled, using feedback loop mechanisms to adjust parameters of the hydraulic system to simulate a wide variety of cardiovascular conditions including normal heart function, severely diseased or injured heart conditions, and compressed vasculature, such as hardening of the arteries.
