20120111376DEVICE FOR PRE-RINSING OBJECTS IN AN APPLIANCE UTILIZING LINE PRESSURE OF A FLUID SUPPLY - Embodiments of an appliance for washing objects are described in which the appliance utilizes line pressure of a fluid supply to fill the appliance with a washing fluid, wherein the washing fluid is dispersed onto objects in the appliance before the washing fluid is captured in the enclosure. In one embodiment, the appliance comprises a fill element, which receives the washing fluid directly from a fluid inlet. The fill element comprises an array of spray jets, which are arranged to disperse the washing fluid into the enclosure.05-10-2012

20090107906Faucet mounted water filter system - A faucet mounted water filtration system includes a base defining an inlet and a plurality of outlets. The base at least partially defines a filter compartment configured to house a filter cartridge. A first valve assembly is positioned within the base and defines a first passage and a second passage. A valve stem is movably positioned within the first passage. With the valve stem in a first position, the first passage provides fluid communication between the inlet and a first outlet and with the valve stem in a second position the second passage provides fluid communication between the inlet and the filter compartment. A body is rotatably coupled to the base and includes a first cam configured to urge the valve stem from the first position to the second position as the body rotates with respect to the base.04-30-2009

20080215213Method and Device For Determining the Synchronous Force When Shifting a Twin Clutch Transmission of a Motor Vehicle - A method for determining the synchronous force when shifting a twin clutch transmission of a motor vehicle includes the following steps: preparing a situation table that defines typical shifting situations based on currently active gears, and of at least one operating parameter of the motor vehicle, preparing an assignment table that assigns pre-determined synchronous forces to typical shifting situations, detecting an intention to shift, determining the typical shifting situation corresponding to the respective intention to shift, and establishing the synchronous force, which corresponds to the determined typical shifting situation from the assignment table.09-04-2008
20090305844METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE CREEPING PROPERTIES OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A method for controlling a creeping process of a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine, a torque converter with a pump shell driven by the internal combustion engine and a turbine shell driving an automated transmission and a separation clutch disposed in the torque flow between the internal combustion engine and the torque converter, wherein a creeping process is initiated when a gas pedal for driver control of the internal combustion engine and a brake pedal are not actuated and a driving velocity of the motor vehicle is less than a predetermined value. In order to be able to perform the creeping process with converter slippage and also with slippage of the separation clutch a creep torque transmitted through the separation clutch is adjusted as a function of the slippage of the torque converter for initiating the creeping process and during the creeping process.12-10-2009
20090305847METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A CREEPING PROCESS AND DRIVE TRAIN CONFIGURED FOR SUCH METHOD - A drive train of a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine, a torque converter and a transmission, wherein a separation clutch is provided between the internal combustion engine and the torque converter. In order to be able to perform a creeping process at a certain creeping velocity, the separation clutch is operated slipping. This way, the gearing of the startup process can be configured long, even when using a so-called hard torque converter, without having to tolerate a creeping velocity, which is too high.12-10-2009

20090063395MAPPING LOG SETS BETWEEN DIFFERENT LOG ANALYSIS TOOLS IN A PROBLEM DETERMINATION ENVIRONMENT - A method is provided for mapping analysis data between a first data analysis tool configured to interpret analysis data expressed in a first format to a second data analysis tool configured to interpret analysis data expressed in a second format. The method comprises receiving a set of analysis data expressed in the first format from the first data analysis tool; receiving an indication of the second format; identifying a set of common analysis data from the set of analysis data using a set of common analysis data properties and a first context, the first context providing a set of rules for expressing the set of common analysis data properties in the first format; and generating a representation of the set of common analysis data in the second format using a second context. The first context provides a set of rules for expressing the set of common analysis data properties in the first format. The second context provides a set of rules for expressing the set of common analysis data properties in the second format.03-05-2009

20090043825LOG LOCATION DISCOVERY AND MANAGEMENT - Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method for managing log information. The method comprising, responsive to receiving a request to discover log information, and invoking a set discovery agents to discover the log information for logs located on a set of managed nodes. The method further identifies the log information on the set of managed nodes using the set of discovery agents and stores the log information in a repository knowledge base containing log information.02-12-2009

20110167009CONTROLLED-VENDOR MANUFACTURING METHODS - Embodiments of the invention are directed to manufacturing a medical device in a way that minimizes the possibility of defects. Because of the general increasing desire to eliminate lead from the environment, electronic producers are removing lead from their manufacturing processes. The lead had beneficial qualities, however, in that it prevented other metals, in particular tin, from developing “whiskers,” believed to be caused from thermal and mechanical stress of the tin parts or components. Removing the lead has caused an increasing incidence of failure in electronic devices. Many vendors, believing that lead-free devices are universally desirable, routinely substitute lead-free components for components that previously contained lead. Oftentimes these substitutions are made without knowledge of the buyer. Some devices, in particular life-saving devices, may be adversely affected by such a substitution. Embodiments of the invention prevent non-specified goods from being assembled into the medical device by generating evidence or requiring that vendors generate evidence of component composition for particular components that may be at risk for premature failure in the medical device.07-07-2011
