Abstract: A method and a device for power management regarding an integrated display unit including a video display and at least one peripheral device, wherein the video display uses horizontal and vertical sync signals for the synchronization of the display images, and the peripheral device uses a peripheral signal to carry out its function. The peripheral device can be an audio unit using audio signals to produce sound. The peripheral device can be a USB connector using a +5 V voltage to indicate a connection being made to the integrated display unit. In the integrated display unit, a single power supply is used to provide electrical power to the video display and the peripheral device. In order to reduce the power consumption by the integrated display unit, a number of power consumption states, based on the presence of the video sync signals and the peripheral signals, are implemented. The presence of the video sync signals can be detected by a micro-controller in the integrated display unit.

Abstract: A method of urine flow measurement where liquid in the form of a free-fall jet is collected in a collecting vessel and the vertical force produced by the collecting vessel on a measuring device, for example a scale or the like, is sensed, and the change in time of said force is utilized for obtaining a measure of the flow corresponding to the jet. The method is especially characterized in that the effect of the impulse of the jet on the sensed force is eliminated by deflecting the vertical flow constituted by the jet to a substantially horizontal flow by a rotating device before the liquid is caused to contact the vessel. The invention also relates to a flow meter.
