  • Publication number: 20090314845
    Abstract: A single lever valve for mixing hot and cold liquids has a mixer which can internally impose an upper limit on the temperature of any liquid emerging from it. The means used may enable the upper limit to be changed by exchange of a component so that the mixer can be used in any location in an installation even though different locations might have different upper limit requirements. The mixer may take the form of a cartridge able to be exchanged with an existing cartridge to convert an “unsafe” mixer to a “safe” one. There is a cylindrical mixing chamber with hot and cold liquid entry through ports through the side walls at opposite ends. A piston sealingly slidable within the chamber effects opening and closing of the ports.

  • Patent number: 6770938
    Abstract: An ESD protection device is provided for an integrated circuit. The ESD protection device includes a power supply clamp device formed from a diode and coupled between a first power supply VCC and a second power supply VSS. An input protection device is also provided which is formed from a diode coupled between an input pad and the first power supply and a second diode coupled between the input pad and a second power supply. The diodes have an adjusted reverse breakdown voltage that is higher than the voltage supply VCC used to power the peripheral circuitry that drives circuitry within a core of the integrated circuit. The adjusted reverse breakdown voltage is also lower than the breakdown voltage of gate oxide layers used within the peripheral circuitry.

  • Patent number: 6395568
    Abstract: Method for bond pad crater jeopardy identification in integrated circuits, and apparatus which performs the method. The gate or gates of a transistor or transistors of an ESD device are formed under each bond pad in the integrated circuit device. Connected to the transistor is circuitry for determimg the electrical, and hence mechanical, integrity of the transistor. A reduction in current through the transistor, by reason of microcrack formation in the several layers under the transistor causing a gate or gates of the transistor to crack and fail, may detected, Location of at least a portion of the ESD device, for example the above transistor, reduces overall chip area by increasing device density.

  • Patent number: 5967675
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a label printer that has a plurality of keys for defining a label to be printed. Such keys include keys for defining the format of the label. The label printer also includes a display for displaying an image of the label, a printing unit for printing the label and a control unit for controlling the label printer to operate in a layout mode. In the layout mode, the control unit causes the display to display an image of the label in a selected label format and a plurality of layout parameters for defining the label format. Each of the layout parameters is alterable. Thereby, the label image displayed on the display alters with each selection of one of the layout parameters by actuating the format keys.

  • Patent number: 5857790
    Abstract: A tape printing device for printing frames with complicated shapes on a label. The device includes a mechanism for inputting a plurality of characters, selecting a frame from a plurality of frames of different shape, and generating print data for the characters and the selected frame. Also, a print head is used for printing the characters and the frames onto the tape according to the generated print data. Only a small amount of memory is required to represent frames, and the operator is offered a large selection of frames. Instead of storing dot patterns for each frame, each frame is represented with a program which can be executed on the tape printing device to generate the pixel pattern corresponding to the selected frame and to print the selected frame on the receiving medium according to the generated pixel pattern. Since the programs generate the pixel pattern dynamically as required by the operator of the device, less memory is required than prior art devices.
