A method of programming an infusion device includes receiving an infusion rate for a time period, wherein the time period overlaps with a predefined start of a predefined period of the infusion device. The time period is converted into (1) a first converted time period extending from a start of the time period to the predefined start of the predefined period, and (2) a second converted time period extending from the predefined start of the predefined period to an end of the time period. The infusion device is programmed with the infusion rate for the first converted time period and the second converted time period.

A water skimmer vessel has two hulls (12, 14) between which a debris collection net or basket-like catcher (22) is arranged. Hinged flaps (68) are provided at each end of the catcher and operate to allow inflow but block outflow of debris from the catcher. Each hull of the vessel is equiped with amoter covered by a guard (28). The vessel may move in either direction and is equipped with sensors (30) on each hulll for effecting the turning and reversing of the vessel upon contact with pool skimmer box inlet (206) and the vessel can be controlled to enter the dock and permit the contents of the catcher to be discharged into the current of pool water flowing into the skimmer box.

A battery device includes a battery cell including a cell terminal, a case that houses the battery cell, a battery terminal provided to the case and electrically connected to the cell terminal, and a control section that is housed in the case and allows and inhibits charge and discharge of the battery cell, wherein the control section includes a detection section that detects an output voltage value of the cell terminal at an interval, and assuming that the latest output voltage value detected by the detection section is V1, and the output voltage value detected by the detection section immediately before the latest output voltage value V1 is V0, the control section allows charge and discharge of the battery cell if |ΔV| (ΔV=V1−V0) is smaller than a reference value, and to inhibit charge and discharge of the battery cell if |ΔV| is equal to and greater than the reference value.

A tamper sensitive RFID tag includes a housing defining a channel that is configured to receive a portion of an object associated with the RFID tag. Included with the tamper sensitive RFID tag is a tamper sensitive RFID label that is adhesively secured to a first portion of the housing, and a second securement means for securing the RFID label to a second portion of the housing in a position between the first and second portions.

The present invention relates to a hinge device for the articulated attachment of a hood to a vehicle chassis, the device comprising a lower bar and an upper bar attached to one another in an articulated manner; a retaining mechanism which, in a retaining position (R), maintains the angle α formed by the lower and upper bars and fastens the assembly formed by said bars to a support body such that the device adopts a compact shape; and an actuator capable of moving the retaining mechanism to a release position (L), disabling the function of the mentioned retaining mechanism, the device being prepared for adopting at least two different collapsed shapes (A and B) without the actuator moving the retaining mechanism to its release position (L) depending on the location of the resultant of a vertical downward force (F) transmitted to the upper bar of the device, caused by hitting a pedestrian, for example.

Apparatus is described for use with a container for dispensing a composition including a deodorant and/or an antiperspirant, the container including a movable platform. The apparatus includes a container holder, which includes: an upper portion, which includes one or more user input elements; and a lower portion, including a driving unit and a power source. The power source is operative to drive the driving unit to move the movable platform of the container, in response to actuation of the one or more user input elements. Other applications are also described.

Apparatus is described for use with a container (102) for dispensing a composition (112), the container including a movable platform (106). The apparatus includes a container holder (101), which includes: an upper portion (116), which includes one or more user input elements (104); and a lower portion, including a driving unit (201, 3001) and a power source (205, 3008). The power source (205, 3008) is operative to drive the driving unit (201, 3001) to move the movable platform (106) of the container (102), in response to actuation of the one or more user input elements (104). Other applications are also described.

An apparatus and method is provided in which instant emergency alerts can be sent to programmed personal electronic devices by government officials either by a command center or from a government vehicle. The apparatus and method is designed to warn people in imminent danger of a situation that may be occurring within a given geographic area. Such events include high speed police pursuits, emergency response, and fire response.

A display control and antenna positioning apparatus for a display device is capable of detecting positions of a navigation antenna that receives GPS signals. The navigation antenna is moveable such that a user is able to move it to an open position that is suitable for GPS signal reception, or to a closed position not suitable for GPS signal reception. When the navigation antenna is in the open position, the apparatus enables navigational functions while prohibiting non-navigational functions. When the navigation antenna is in the closed position, the apparatus disables navigational functions while allowing the non-navigational functions. A device mount prevents the display device from being received therein when the navigation antenna is in the closed position.

An amplification device, comprising a device input receiving a device input signal, an amplifier unit comprising a zero crossing detector unit, an output filter and a lead-lag compensation network. The zero crossing detector unit compares the device input signal with a reference potential and switches a pulse width modulated detector output signal between first and second voltage levels dependent on the comparison. The amplifier unit provides an actual device output signal, e.g., an amplified representation of the device input signal. The amplification device further comprises a device output providing the actual device output signal, a control loop bridging the amplifier unit and comprising a forward filter, e.g., an integrating filter, for increasing loop gain improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the actual device output signal, and a deviation detection unit detecting over modulation of the amplifier unit, so that the amplification device disables forward filter functioning upon over modulation.

A magnet-mounting member for holding permanent magnets against side faces of each claw-shaped magnetic pole has pairs of extreme-end and basal-end hooking tabs for preventing displacement of the permanent magnets in either a basal-end or extreme-end direction. The magnet-mounting member is configured such that a function of the basal-end hooking tabs to prevent displacement of the permanent magnets can be disabled by deforming the basal-end hooking tabs. When the magnet-mounting member is forced onto the claw-shaped magnetic pole, the basal-end hooking tabs go into contact with the permanent magnets and deform outward, whereby the magnet-retaining function of the basal-end hooking tabs is disabled. When the magnet-mounting member has been fully pushed onto the claw-shaped magnetic pole, the basal-end hooking tabs resume an original shape to prevent the permanent magnets from being displaced in either direction.

A packetized data bus interface may be placed in a mode where data packets may be transmitted that are much larger than the standard packet size. The mode may allow the interface device and any other devices, networks, or transmission lines attached to the interface device to be more thoroughly exercised than previously able. The mode may be used for characterizing various aspects of the data interface.
