  • Patent number: 11857384
    Abstract: A motor-driven dental device has a motor control that is responsive to a load placed upon the motor. More specifically, the invention relates to a dental device having motor that drives a tool, wherein the tool is activated or otherwise controlled in response to a load placed upon the motor through the tool, such as by touching the tool to a surface. The tool may also be controlled by the sustenance, over a predetermined time period, of an increase or decrease in motor current beyond a predetermined hysteresis current threshold. The motor may be an electric motor, a rotary electric motor, and air driven motor, an ultrasonic device or the like.

  • Patent number: 8354915
    Abstract: A method and system for determining whether or not passive entry of a vehicle is permitted, includes allocating separate channels for each authorized key FOB for the vehicle. An indication of manual entry of the vehicle is detected. Upon such detection, a challenge from a transmitter of a passive entry system is output. The challenge is received by more than one key FOB in a vicinity of the vehicle, and outputting a respective remote keyless entry response at an assigned frequency channel for each respective key FOB. The remote keyless entry responses are received at a receiver of the passive entry system, at each respective channel allocated for the respective key FOBs. A determination is then made as to whether or not any of the respective key FOBs are assigned to authorized users of the vehicle, and if so, a vehicle door is set in an unlocked state to allow entry into the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20100180984
    Abstract: This invention refers to a base with inflated mechanism for vending machine of deflated balls integrated by an exterior pedal connected to two pneumatic pistons joined in its superior part to a manometer, of which a hose joins connected to a T form connection which in its inferior part includes a pulley wheel to which two springs attached join to the internal walls of the vending machine that allows the hose with valve that is located in the exterior of the machine to inject the air to the ball. The T connection, joins another hose that in its final part has one relief valve covered in the exterior of the machine by a lever that releases the flow of air injected to the ball.

  • Patent number: 5867357
    Abstract: An express down vehicle window lift motor drive system in which an overcurrent detection circuit (10) interprets the flow of electrical power to the lift motor when the motor current exceeds a threshold which is set dynamically as a function of motor in-rush or peak current. Motor current is measured as a small voltage drop across a current shunt. When the current level rises above the dynamically set threshold energization of the motor is halted.
