  • Drive belt with surface texture for minimizing vibrations
    Patent number: 11976708
    Abstract: A pulley belt (100) for transmitting force from a first pulley (12) to a second pulley (14) includes a belt member (110) having a contact surface (120) configured to be in contact with the first pulley (12) and the second pulley (14). A plurality of projections (122) extends from the contact surface (120). The projections have a predetermined height/diameter aspect ratio. In a method of making a pulley belt, an uncured elastomer (316) is placed in a mold (310) having a shape of a belt member (320) with an inner surface from which patterned projections (312) extend inwardly. The uncured elastomer is cured to form a cured belt member (320), which is removed from the mold (310).

  • INTEGRATED CIRCUIT COMPRISING A MICROPROCESSOR AND AN ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER WHICH IS SELECTIVELY OPERABLE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE MICROPROCESSOR AND INDEPENDENTLY OF THE MICROPROCESSOR, AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
    Patent number: 6831583
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (1) comprises a microprocessor (2), an ADC (3) and a serial interface (4) for communicating the integrated circuit with an external device. An analogue input port (5) is provided for inputting analogue signals to the ADC (3). A switch circuit (8) is provided for selectively and alternately configuring the integrated circuit (1) to operate in a first mode and in a second mode. In the first mode the serial interface (4) communicates with the microprocessor (2) through the switch circuit (8), and in the second mode the serial interface (4) communicates with the ADC (3) through the switch circuit (8). In the second mode conversion results are transferred from the ADC (3) through the switch circuit (8) to the serial interface (4) independently of the microprocessor (2) for transmission therefrom to an external device. In the first mode the ADC (3) is operable under the control of the microprocessor (2).
