Abstract: A threshold detection circuit may sense when current between a power supply and a load reaches a current threshold level. The threshold detection circuit may include a transistor in series with the load; a feedback circuit that causes the voltage drop across the transistor to be constant while the transistor is conducting current between the power supply and the load; a constant current source that delivers a constant current into the load; and a comparator that indicates when the voltage drop across the transistor falls below a voltage threshold level.

Abstract: A magnetic coupling device for communicating continuous rotational or linear motion through a magnetic coupling of magnetic forces communicated from magnets operatively positioned on an oscillation assembly and a rotation assembly in positions sufficiently proximate to form the magnetic coupling. Employed to communicate an output force in a rotational direction from an input linear force communicated from a powered oscillation assembly, the magnetic force of the magnet communicating the force compresses the volume of ellipsoidal-like magnetic fields of the coupling alternately in unlike polar domains, to induce a smooth, blended polar continuity and communicate a continuous 360 degree rotational force to a rotation assembly operatively engaged with the magnetic coupling. The input force may be reversed to induce a continuous linear motion of a reciprocating assembly.

Abstract: A method of providing users of a search engine with enhanced search results is disclosed. An entering of a search term by a user at the search engine is identified. It is determined that the search term is relevant to a data item stored in a database of a networked system that is external from the search engine. It is identified that the search engine has generated a search results page for the user in response to the entering of the search term by the user. A user interface is embedded in the search results page that provides the user with an option to access the data item without navigating away from the search results page.

Abstract: A broaching tool for machining a workpiece formed of a parallelogram shaped insert which fits within a slot formed in a body member. The insert has two juxtaposed corners either of which may be oriented at the distal end of the body member to function as a cutting edge. Repositioning of the insert to place either cutting edge in place is provided by flipping it over in its engagement within the slot. The inserts may be provided in a kit of differently configured inserts to yield different cutting widths.

Abstract: An efficiency measuring circuit may measure the efficiency of a DC-DC converter having a switching inductor with an internal DC resistance and a plurality of electronic switches that control current through the inductor. A duty cycle circuit may measure the duty cycle of current flowing through one of the electronic switches. A current sense circuit may measure the current flowing through one of the electronic switches. An inductor voltage sensor circuit may measure the voltage across the inductor. A computation circuit may compute the internal DC resistance of the switching inductor based in part on the duty cycle measured by the duty cycle circuit and the current measured by the current sense circuit. The computation circuit may also compute the efficiency of the DC-DC converter.

Abstract: A dynamically-compensated controller may generate a switching signal for a DC power supply. The controller may include a feedback circuit having a first analog-to-digital converter and a separate analyzer circuit for generating information indicative of performance characteristics of the feedback circuit based on information about the results of a test perturbation signal at an output of the DC power supply. The analyzer circuit may include a DC removal circuit configured to substantially filter out the DC component of the results of the test perturbation signal at the output of the DC power supply, a frequency translation circuit configured to translate the frequency of the filtered signal to a frequency that is lower than the frequency of the test perturbation signal, and a second analog-to-digital converter different from the first analog-to-digital converter that is configured to generate a signal representative of one or more of the characteristics of the filtered signal.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus, system, and method for converting point codes in a signal transfer point in a telecommunications signaling system. The STP converts point codes which designate the origination and destination signaling points for the message. The conversion is based on information defined by the messages, such as origination or destination information. The present invention creates a virtual signaling system which can be reconfigured at the STP by converting point codes, and thus, altering the identities of the signaling points. The present invention is also operable to convert circuit identification codes and transfer integrated services user part messages to a user part.

Abstract: A signaling processor receives a first signaling message indicating a called telephone number for the call. The signaling processor processes the called telephone number from the first signaling message to determine if call validation is required. If the call validation is not required, then the signaling processor processes the called telephone number to determine routing information without the call validation. If the call validation is required, then the signaling processor determines if the call is valid, and if the call is valid, then the signaling processor processes the called telephone number to determine the routing information. The signaling processor transfers a second signaling message indicating the routing information for the call.

Abstract: A communication system comprises a signaling processor and an interworking unit. The signaling processor receives and processes signaling for a call to select a connection and a first bandwidth rate. The signaling processor transfers a first message indicating the connection and the first bandwidth rate. The interworking unit receives the first message and user communications for the call, and in response, transfers the user communications over the connection at the first bandwidth rate. The interworking unit detects a trigger in the user communications, and in response, transfers the user communications over the connection at a second bandwidth rate.
