Patent number: 8687385Abstract: An AC to DC converter system is disclosed in which a conversion circuit for converting an AC input signal to a DC output signal is operably coupled with an enabling circuit designed for sensing and output parameter indicative of the presence or absence of a load at the DC output. The system is designed so that the conversion circuit operates in an inactive standby state when there is no load, and in an active state for supplying DC power when a load is present. The enabling circuit is configured to operate using low power.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Triune IP LLCInventors: Ross Teggatz, Brett Smith, Amer Atrash, Wayne Chen

Patent number: 8646714Abstract: A blade set for paper shredders is disclosed. In one embodiment, a notched blade having at least two notches in proximity to a central hole is brought into contact with a mating blade also having a central hole. Force is applied to the mating blade in such a fashion as to displace some of the body of the mating blade into the notches. This acts to substantially secure the blades together. In another embodiment, the notches are disposed on the edge of the blade and through the periphery. In yet another embodiment, one blade can have holes and not notches.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2012Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Aurora Office Equipment Co., LtdInventor: Wayne Chen
