  • Patent number: 11003354
    Abstract: Method and system are provided for compensating for user hand tremors when using a hand-held electronic device having a user interface display. The method includes monitoring position data of a user's finger in relation to the user interface display over time as the finger approaches an element in the user interface display. A target element is determined by predicting an intended movement of the user's finger and the method dynamically enlarges the determined target element in the user interface display as the user's finger approaches the user interface display.

  • Patent number: 10751725
    Abstract: Driving arrangement for a heavy-duty grinding mill (50) having a horizontal tube with a circumferential girth gear (51), comprising a driving assembly, comprising a motor (10); at least two engaging pinions (42, 44) configured to engage the girth gear (51) for driving the grinding mill (50); at least one gearbox (20) comprising an input shaft (22) for coupling the motor (10) with the at least one gearbox (20), at least two output shafts (31, 32) for coupling the gearbox (20) with the at least two engaging pinions (42, 44) and a torque split arrangement being configured to transmit torque of the input shaft (22) to the at least two output shafts (31, 32); and at least one frame (48) for supporting the at least two engaging pinions (42, 44) separate from the gearbox (20), and a heavy-duty grinding mill.

  • Patent number: 5537023
    Abstract: The invention relates to a charging method for storage batteries, in particular for NiCd and NiMH cells. According to the invention, the rise in the charging voltage during each of a number of consecutive charging cycles of a specified duration is measured in the form of a unit corresponding to a certain voltage. The number of these units is transmitted in the form of a counting pulse to two up-down counters during the period of the charging cycle, whereby one counter functions in the down mode and is set at the beginning of a charging cycle to a number corresponding to the number of units established in the preceding charging cycle. In the following charging cycle, the roles of the two counters are reversed, so that the up-counter is now set to the down mode and the other counter to the up mode, whereby the latter is set to a Certain starting counting status.
