  • Publication number: 20220096698
    Abstract: Atomizers and methods for operating atomizers for dispersing vapor into the ambient air are disclosed. Liquid from a vessel connected to the atomizer may be pumped to a first chamber having an atomizing element at or near the bottom of the first chamber. The atomizing element may convert the liquid to a vapor, and a fan may push air into the first chamber, causing the vapor to be dispersed into the ambient air through apertures at or near the top of the first chamber. Liquid remaining in the first chamber may be pumped back to the vessel, while the fan continues to run to dry the components in the first chamber.

  • Patent number: 7600887
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a light assembly (6) for connection to a shelving unit having an elongated housing (10). The elongated housing (10) includes a mounting face (12), an outer face (16) formed opposite the mounting face (12), and an upper face (14) extending between the mounting face (12) and the outer face (16). At least one lamp fastening member (24) is formed within the housing (10), and an attachment channel (20) is formed within the mounting face (12) of the housing (10) and opens to the outer side of the mounting face (12). The attachment channel (20) is adapted to receive at least one fastener.

  • Publication number: 20050012491
    Abstract: An improved method of monitoring the output power provided by a switch mode power converter that reduces the overall cost of the converter. The method includes initiating a soft-start procedure for a first output voltage in the event the first voltage channel is enabled. When the first voltage level comes within regulation, a delay counter counts a predetermined number of clock cycles. In the event a second output voltage channel is enabled between the time the first channel is enabled and the time the first voltage comes within regulation, a soft-start procedure is initiated for the second voltage and the delay counter re-starts when the second voltage comes within regulation. After the delay counter finishes counting, the first and second voltages are considered stable and a single Power-Good signal is asserted.

  • Publication number: 20030036994
    Abstract: A loan processing method and system is disclosed that includes a database containing task descriptions, status, and rules information. In response to data entered to the database, status information is assigned to tasks and tasks are assigned to work departments or individuals using rules information. Tasks may also comprise automated portions that may retrieve or disseminate information electronically. Users may update status as tasks are completed, resulting in a new status and new task assignments. A tickler program alerts users of messages and status conditions. Data formatting allows data entry from or data output to third party software. A client portion of the invention employs a windowed architecture where software modules provide display and operational functions. Software modules may be added or deleted without recompiling client software. Administrative software provides control of client software by user type and function plus allows upgrade, maintenance and backup of system components.
