Abstract: An apparatus comprising an encoder is configured to: detect a first edge in the input signal and, in response, provide a pulse generation sequence comprising the encoder being configured to: generate, in the output signal, a first pulse, wherein the first pulse is provided over first and second minimum time periods irrespective of an edge subsequent the first edge being present in the input signal; and obtain a first sample of the input signal; and obtain a second sample at an end of the first pulse; and if the first sample and the second sample are indicative of different voltage levels, generate a second pulse; or if the first and second sample and the same maintain the voltage level in the output signal.

Abstract: Valve interconnector (1), suitable for use in combination with a receiver interconnector to couple a first hollow body associated to the valve interconnector to a second hollow body associated to the receiver interconnector, wherein the valve interconnector comprises a neck (7) to be secured to the first hollow body, a passageway (77) through the neck to allow fluid communication between the first hollow body and the second hollow body. The valve interconnector further comprises abase cap (8) secured to the neck, a valve assembly (5) secured to the base cap, the valve assembly being configured to assume at least a closed position and at least an open position. The valve interconnector further comprises a sealing ring (3) configured to provide a leakproof connection between the valve interconnector and the receiver interconnector.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a coding module for an Ethernet transceiver. The coding module may include circuitry configured to: receive data-signaling representative of one or more data words; encode the data-signaling into one or more DC-balanced words each having a DC-balanced-word-length; provide a prepended-word for a first transmission, where a length of the prepended-word is at least as long as the DC-balanced-word-length; and provide the one or more DC-balanced words for a second transmission, where the second transmission is subsequent to the first transmission. The coding module may include circuitry configured to: receive a prepended-word and provide a logic-high signal to an Energy Detect terminal; receive one or more DC-balanced words each having a DC-balanced-word-length; remove a DC-balanced coding from the one or more DC-balanced words to generate data signaling representative of one or more data words; and provide the data signaling to an output terminal.

Abstract: A valve interconnector, suitable for use in combination with a receiver interconnector to couple a first hollow body to a second hollow body, is disclosed. The valve interconnector comprises a neck (7) to be secured to the first hollow body and further comprises a base cap (8) comprising an exterior tube portion (85) covering at least a portion of the external surface (7s) of the neck (7). The exterior tube portion and the neck are secured to each other with ability of relative rotation about a central axis. The valve interconnector is provided with a selector (44, 48) operative between the neck (7) and the exterior tube portion of the base cap (8) and configured for assuming at least a first position and a second position, in the first position the base cap being prevented from being axially released from the neck, in the second position the base cap being enabled to be axially released from the neck.

Abstract: An interconnector system (10) for coupling a first hollow body to a second hollow body allows fluid communication between the hollow bodies. The interconnector system (10) includes a valve interconnector (14) and a receiver interconnector (12). The receiver interconnector (12) has a sliding seal sleeve (20) that slides relative to a hollow post (18). The design of the receiver interconnector (12) ensures that the valve interconnector (14) cannot be decoupled from the receiver interconnector (12) without the seal sleeve (12) sealing closed the liquid passageway (46) through the hollow post (18). Also included is a hollow body having a coupling device thereon.

Abstract: A dispenser adapted for mounting to a surface is disclosed, and includes a bracket to which a container of material to be dispensed is connected. The bracket can have at least one arm to support the container and to which the container is releasably and rotatably connected. The container can be lifted by a user and squeezed to dispense material from the container. Alternatively, the container can be pressed by a user against the bracket to dispense the material. In some embodiments, the container is provided with a cover substantially covering a front surface of the container. The cover can be coupled to the bracket via the container.
