  • Patent number: 8528289
    Abstract: Floor panels with a flexible tongue in an insertion groove, the flexible tongue is designed to cooperate, in a connected state with a tongue groove of another panel, the panels are adapted to be locked together by vertical folding, the flexible tongue has a projection portion which, in a connected state projects outside the insertion groove and cooperates with the tongue groove, said projecting portion has a beveled and/or rounded sliding surface and the panels have a sliding surface adapted to cooperate therewith during vertical folding, the flexible tongue during the vertical folding is displaced twice in the horizontal direction, a first displacement is effected by the vertical folding of the fold panel whereby at least a part of the flexible tongue is bent, a second displacement of the flexible tongue towards its initial position is accomplished substantially by a spring effect caused by said bending of said flexible tongue.

  • Patent number: 6810338
    Abstract: There is provided a monitoring device which can be used as a battery monitor in a mobile communications device, such as a mobile phone. The monitoring device includes output registers, from which parameter values can be read by a processor unit. Advantageously, the device makes frequent measurements, and updates parameter values on the basis of those measurements. The updated stored parameter values can then be read by the processor. This has the advantage that the processor does not have to read a large number of values, in order to obtain the information required about the parameters. This therefore has the result that communications on the bus are reduced, and power consumption is reduced. For example, the parameters may include a maximum battery voltage, a minimum battery voltage, and an average battery voltage, as well as parameters relating to the current supplied to the battery during charging.
