According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a programmable logic device which loads forming circuit information to form a counter circuit to count a value of the number of times of the system reset and to set an initial value of the counter circuit from a memory device on turning on a power source, counts the value of the number of times of the system reset by the counter circuit...

The present invention relates to a valve unit for container filling machines, particularly for glass bottle fillers. More particularly, the present invention relates to a valve unit (1), particularly for container filling machines (8), comprising a hollow body (2) in which there is slidably housed a plug (3), wherein said plug (3) is hollow and comprises an outer duct (23) and an inner duct (24) c...

A bioreactor vessel has a biological support provided within the vessel to support bacteria and a drive system for agitating the biological support while it is it is immersed in the reaction liquor that is to be treated within the vessel. The drive system causes the biological support to oscillate with a reciprocating or rectilinear motion a nd the drive system is preferably located either outside...

A system comprises a wireless-enabled device that communicates with a wirele ss- enabled smart card reader to obtain information from or perform operations using a smart card. Commands to access information from a smart card may be sent from the device to the smart card reader, and responses from the smart card may be sent from the smart card reader back to the second device. Communication between...

The present invention concerns a method of optimizing the power usage of district heating systems. A district heating system has a central unit (1), such as a power plant or an intake from a larger system, and a number of local units (2), normally different buildings. The local units (2) pick up heat from water delivered by the central unit (1), by means of heat exchangers (9, 10). The present sys...

A large opening rolling door of the articulating type has multiple horizontally and vertically distributed insulative glass panes supported by a plurality of vertically disposed and horizontally disposed heat transmitting metal frame members arranged in vertical and horizontal regions respectively between adjacent glass panes. The horizontal frame members have opposed and closed or open and recess...

According to one embodiment, a gateway apparatus includes a memory which stores information showing a plurality of codecs notified from an end point to be an originating call side in a communication connection through peer-to-peer among the first, the second and the third end points prior to the conference connection, a determiner which determines whether or not any codec matching between the firs...

Check valve, in which the assembly formed by the plug (5) and the closing spring (6) is not fixed "a priori" in the valve body, but is received instead inside a housing or outer plug (10) which in turn is equipped with a pushing spring (9) having a stiffness (rigidity) greater than that of the spring (6) which directly acts on the (inner) plug (5). This solution/approach allows to realise a check ...

Refrigerating appliance with a sanitization device (20) comprising ventilation means (11) for producing an air flow inside the refrigerator compartment (4), intercepted by an active electrostatic filter (17) able to introduce a quantity of ozone capable of producing, together with a quantity of negative and/or positive charges produced by ionization means (18), a mixture having a microbicidal sani...
