Patent number: 11934245Abstract: A method is disclosed to estimate energy consumed by a component in a microcontroller during operation including identifying “event” activities, where the energy consumed by the component may be determined by the number of events executed by the component, and “duration” activities, where the energy consumed may be determined by the duration of time required to execute of the activity, and determining the energy consumed by the component based on the number of events/duration of time and an energy coefficient which corresponds to the amount of energy consumed by the component to execute the activity, under given operating conditions. In an embodiment, data transfers at a bus interface may represent event activities. Apparatus to estimate the energy consumed is disclosed including bus monitors to receive signals representing data transfers at a bus interface and provide signals indicating the number of data transfers executed.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Christian Wiencke, Hans Van Antwerpen, Stephan Rosner, Roland Richter, Jean-Paul Vanitegem, Jan-Willem Van de Waerdt

Patent number: 7326165Abstract: A rotary object feeder comprises a sun member having a sun axis and being rotatable about a sun axis of rotation at a rotational speed of W1. The feeder also has a planetary member mounted for connection to the sun member, the planetary member having a planetary axis located at a constant distance X from the sun axis. The planetary member is rotatable about the planetary axis of rotation and is also mounted for rotation around the sun axis with the sun member. The planetary member is rotated about the planetary axis at a rotational speed of W3 which is opposite in direction to W1. N pick-up members are mounted on the planetary member, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 3. The pick up members are rotatable with the planetary member about the planetary axis and rotate with the planetary member around the sun axis.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: Langen Packaging Inc.Inventors: Petar Baclija, Peter Guttinger, Tony Spadafora, Stephan Willem Anthonius Ammerlaan, Albertus Theodorus Anthonius Mathijssen

Patent number: 6002955Abstract: A stabilized electrophysiology catheter (4) includes a main body portion (16) and a flexible tip portion (18). A plurality of electrodes (24, 26) are positioned along the tip portion. The tip portion includes a main section (20) and a pre-curved, offset, reverse-angle anchor section (22) at its distal end. The anchor section is shaped to engage with and anchor to a coronary opening, typically the coronary sinus opening (48) in the right atrium or a pulmonary vein opening (82) in the left atrium, for stabilized mapping and ablation of the right atrium or the left atrium. A manipulator wire (36) is used to radially deflect the tip portion in a first direction (40). When introduced through the superior vena cava (46), the tip portion forms a generally J-shape. When introduced through the inferior vena cava (54), the tip portion is deflected more than 360.degree..Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1997Date of Patent: December 14, 1999Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Stephan Willems, Christian Weiss, Frank Nguyen, John W.
