  • Patent number: 11190378
    Abstract: This disclosure describes an embodiment of an invention that is sending an information and/or control data signal on a differential signal pair. This embodiment of the apparatus 200 includes an information and/or control data signal 220; a balanced differential signal pair of conductors 212 that includes a positive 202 and a negative 204 differential conductor; a first network of circuits 214 that transforms the information signal 220 into a common mode voltage on the individual conductors 202 and 204 of the balanced differential signal pair of conductors; and a second network of circuits 216 that transforms the common mode voltage on the individual conductors 202 and 204 of the balanced differential signal pair of conductors 212 back to the data signal 222; where the first network of circuits 214 couples to the second network of circuits 216 via the balanced differential signal pair of conductors 202 and 204.

  • Publication number: 20120267375
    Abstract: Disclosed is a combined trash receptacle and replacement receptacle liner storage compartment. The receptacle comprises a structure having upstanding sidewalls forming an interior adapted to store refuse within a disposable liner. The base of the interior forms a divider shelf having a removable lid, whereby access to a lower cavity below the divider is provided. The cavity is an enclosed volume bounded by the upstanding receptacle sidewalls, interior divider and receptacle base surface, wherein the cavity provides a sealable storage compartment for storing replacement liners while separating the cavity from the interior portion of the receptacle. The replacement bags are thus shielded from fluid or solid refuse that may leak from a liner within the receptacle, while access into the cavity is granted via a divider access door. The divider may be formed from the receptacle sidewalls or is removably attachable thereto via a latching means around the divider periphery.
