Publication number: 20220097952Abstract: A liquid discharge head switchable manually between secured and released states. In the secured state, liquid discharge is prevented, and in the released state, liquid discharge is enabled. The discharge head has a discharge channel and a discharge opening at an end of the discharge channel. Further, an outer shell is provided and has a discharge aperture through which the liquid delivered through the discharge opening is discharged. For switching purposes, the outer body has, internally in relation to the outer shell, a rotatable inner or screen body. A releasable snap-action coupling is provided, by which the outer shell and the inner body are coupled rotationally in a closed rotational position such that an open rotational position is reached again only after manual application of force to a release surface of the coupling.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventor: Andreas ABT

Patent number: 8458367Abstract: An SMBus message handler, an integrated circuit and a method for controlling an SMBus are disclosed which identifies starting address of a program being stored in a memory. Instructions of the program are fetched one after another into a finite-state machine which controls the data transfer between an SMBus interface and a register set in compliance with the instruction present in the finite-state machine. Further, an SMBus test device and a method for controlling a testing system are described which check as to whether a key is input from a second interface. Upon inputting of a key it is mapped to a sequence of instructions for controlling devices connected to the SMBus or transferring data or receiving data from the devices connected to the SMBus.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2003Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Advanced Micro DevicesInventors: René Röllig, Andreas Abt, Frank Schücke, Bernd Schönfelder, Daniel Schöne, Gert Springer

Patent number: 7386014Abstract: A WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) communication device including a first buffer, a second buffer and a shared backoff generator and corresponding methods and integrated circuit chips provided. The first buffer is for queuing first data packets to be transmitted by the WLAN communication device after a transmission channel has been idle for at least a first backoff time. The second buffer is for queuing second data packets to be transmitted by the WLAN communication device after the transmission channel has been idle for at least a second backoff time. The shared backoff generator is adapted to generate a first and a second backoff start value used to determine the first and second backoff times, respectively. Embodiments may reduce the hardware consumption and thus manufacturing and product costs.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2005Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Ralf Flemming, Andreas Abt, Andre Schulze, Christian Wiencke
