  • Patent number: 8898348
    Abstract: Techniques for detecting connection of a host device by an accessory device are provided. The accessory device outputs a pulsed voltage/current on its power contact and measure the voltage at the power contact in response to the pulsed voltage/current. If the measured voltage reaches a certain value at or after the expiration of a predetermined time, then the accessory concludes that a host device is connected to it.

  • Publication number: 20050274292
    Abstract: A capsule delivery system provides for the delivery and dispensing of fluid or semi-fluid admixtures into concrete mixes. The capsule is made of a plastic resin and contains a pre-measured dosage of admixture. Once the capsule containing the admixture enters a concrete mix and the concrete mix is agitated mechanically such as via a concrete ready-mix truck, the plastic resin delivery and dispensing capsule shatters and breaks down unnoticeable to the unaided eye, releasing the encapsulated admixture into the concrete mix.

  • Publication number: 20050172861
    Abstract: A method and device for delivery of a semi-fluid or fluid concrete admixture for a concrete mix to be mechanically agitated for recycling concrete is described. A hollow capsule body is at least partially filled with the admixture. The mechanical agitation of the concrete mix breaks said hollow capsule body releasing the admixture. Once the capsule containing the admixture enters a concrete mix and the concrete mix is agitated mechanically such as via a concrete ready-mix truck, the plastic resin delivery and dispensing capsule shatters and breaks down unnoticeable to the unaided eye, releasing the encapsulated admixture into the concrete mix.
