| 81 | SAFETY SWITCHING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SAFELY SWITCHING AN ELECTRICAL LOAD ON AND OFF | US12188259 | 2008-08-08 | US20090058197A1 | 2009-03-05 | Thomas Nitsche; Udo Ratey; Christoph Zinser |
| The invention relates to a safety switching apparatus and to a method for safely switching on and off an electrical load, in particular an automated installation. The apparatus comprises a first port for a first signaling element, a second port for a second signaling element, a first switching device coupled to a first switching activator, and a second switching device coupled to a second switching activator. A time monitoring apparatus activates the first and the second switching activators only if a time between an actuation of the signaling elements is smaller than a predetermined maximum duration. The activation of the switching activators in turn causes the switching devices to be switched-through and thus the load to be switched on. For the activation of the switching activators, a first and a second switching element, which are each arranged in series with the switching activators, need to switched-through. According to one aspect of the invention, at least a first microcontroller is provided for the time monitoring, which microcontroller is designed to detect actuations of the signaling elements and to activate the switching elements in the event of the maximum duration being undershot. | ||||||

| 96 | Membrane switch having a rotary motion detection function | US121160 | 1993-09-14 | US5508703A | 1996-04-16 | Ryo Okamura; Hidemasa Sakurada |
| A membrane switch having a rotary motion detection function comprises a flexible sheet, in which movable electrodes are formed that correspond to multiple keys, and a printed wiring board, in which fixed electrodes are formed that correspond to the movable electrodes. The flexible sheet and printed wiring board are arranged in layers so that the movable and fixed electrodes face each other with a prescribed spacing between them. When any key on the membrane switch is pressed and thus turned on, that key's signal is detected. When multiple keys are turned on in succession within a prescribed time interval, codes are sent that correspond to the direction and speed of movement of the sequence of turned-on keys. The rotary motion keys are arranged in a circle. The codes that correspond to the direction and speed of shift of the turned-on keys are preset in a microprocessor. The rotary motion keys can be arranged on the same board with other general keys to make up a remote control device. | ||||||

| A multi-function, multi-mode switch for an instrument that changes the instrument between primary and secondary functions and between first and second modes of operation within the primary and secondary functions. The instrument changes from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation when the switch is actuated for a first period of time. The instrument changes from the second mode of operation to the first mode of operation when the switch is activated for a second period of time. The instrument changes between the primary and secondary functions when the switch is operated for a third period of time. The switch controls a program that instructs the instrument to perform the appropriate operations.

| 99 | Start circuit for microwave oven | US642567 | 1984-08-20 | US4533810A | 1985-08-06 | Larry R. Harmon; John C. Reiche; Howard R. Bowles; Norman H. Chiu |
| A start circuit arrangement for a microwave oven including a power control relay circuit which is independently responsive to a user actuable momentary start switch and to a programmed electronic controller to facilitate operation in a delay start mode. The relay circuit includes a start latch circuit, a door switch and an arm switch. User actuation of the momentary start switch sets the latch circuit. A signal from the electronic controller resets the latch circuit. The door switch is closed by closure of the oven door. The arm switch is closed by an arm signal from the electronic controller when an actual cooking cycle is to begin. The arm signal is removed upon expiration of the cooking cycle. The arm switch, start latch means and door switch are all operatively coupled to the relay such that the relay only enables energization of the power circuit for the oven when the arm switch and door switch are closed and the start latch is set. In the time delay mode, the latch is set by actuation of the start switch following entry of the operating mode and time information. At desired start time the arm signal from the controller closes the arm switch enabling energization of the source of microwave energy as well as the blower, the oven lamp, and the mode stirrer motor. | ||||||
| 100 | Method and apparatus for controlling access of a network transmission bus between a plurality of spaced apart computer stations | US295537 | 1981-08-24 | US4456956A | 1984-06-26 | Hussein T. El-Gohary; Gary P. Vaillette; Keith F. Nelson |
| A computer network is disclosed in which a plurality of computer stations are interconnected by a single bi-directional bus and wherein access to the bus is controlled by the computer stations themselves through an adapter unit at each station. Each adapter unit includes a microcontroller, a transmitter, a receiver, a send buffer, a receive buffer, a line activity indicator, a pulse producing device, a read circuit and a write circuit. Each adapter unit has a unique assigned number. When the network is running and stable, control of the bus is continually passed from one live adapter unit to another in numerical sequence according to its unique assigned number and the bus is active with messages, control signals or status signals separated by relatively short intervals. If only one adapter unit is live, control is continually passed to itself. If an adapter unit in control attempts to access another adapter unit to send data to it and the other adapter unit is unable to comply with the request because its buffers are full, the numerical control passing sequence is temporarily interrupted and control is passed out of turn to that other adapter unit so that it can unload its buffers. After the buffers are unloaded, control is then passed back to the adapter unit from which it received control and the normal passing sequence is resumed. If the bus is inactive for a certain time interval, all adapter units detecting this condition enter an election mode to elect from amongst themselves one adapter unit to assume control and resume activity. | ||||||
