Publication number: 20230355053Abstract: A suction tool for a vacuum cleaner includes an outlet for connection to a vacuum cleaner; a main inlet in fluid communication with the outlet via a main suction passage; and an auxiliary inlet in fluid communication with the outlet via an auxiliary suction passage. The auxiliary suction passage includes a flow limiting device which is movable between first and second configurations, the flow limiting device obstructing air flow through the auxiliary suction passage to a greater extent when in the second configuration than when in the first configuration. The flow limiting device is configured to move to the second position in response to the pressure within the main suction passage dropping beneath a predetermined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: James WHITE, Daryl Robert SAGE

Patent number: 10646084Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprising a separating apparatus comprising a first cyclonic separator and a second cyclonic separator arranged in parallel with the first cyclonic separator, an airflow generator arranged to generate an airflow through the first and second cyclonic separators, and a flow control device for controlling the flow of air through the second cyclonic separator. The vacuum cleaner has a first configuration in which the flow control device is arranged to prevent flow of air through the second cyclonic separator such that, in use, air flows through the first cyclonic separator and bypasses the second cyclonic separator, and a second configuration in which the flow control device is arranged to permit flow of air though the second cyclonic separator such that, in use, air flows through the first and second cyclonic separators.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2015Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Robert Hinchliffe, Daryl Robert Sage

Patent number: 9699790Abstract: A mobile station for transferring delay-sensitive data to a wireless communications network is provided with an uplink resource release controller that selectively inhibits release of an uplink resource in order to meet requirements of a delay-sensitive data application, such as a VoIP or streaming application. In one embodiment, the uplink resource release controller causes dummy blocks to be written to a data buffer to prevent initiation of a countdown process. By intelligently controlling resource release, delay-sensitive data may be transmitted in a more reliable fashion, thereby increasing application performance.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventor: Daryl Robert Gazzard

Patent number: 9113382Abstract: A mobile station for receiving delay-sensitive data from a wireless communications network is provided with a data buffer and cell reselection controller. The data buffer receives data from the network and stores the data for communication to a delay-sensitive data application. The cell reselection controller selectively inhibits cell reselection in order to meet requirements of the delay-sensitive data application. By intelligently controlling cell reselection, delay sensitive data may be received in a more reliable fashion, thereby increasing performance of the data application.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventor: Daryl Robert Gazzard

Patent number: 8655357Abstract: The present invention provides systems, methods, and devices adapted to notify a communications network that an application is present on a communication device by sending a feature tag that identifies the application to the communications network. The communications network can register, re-register, or de-register an application with an application server in response to receiving the feature tag. The invention provides a method by which an application can be registered in accordance with a feature tag and satisfaction of predetermined registration conditions. A further method of the invention can include updating a presence server in response to receiving a feature tag. The systems, methods and devices of the invention facilitate registration of applications in way that conservers network resources and decreases signaling traffic over the air interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2006Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Daryl Robert Gazzard, Matthew Wayne Stafford, Jeffrey Clinton Mikan
