Title: Improved electronic television program guide schedule system and method with pop-up hints
Inventor: DAVIS BRUCE
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 1997-06-24
Granted: 1999-08-05
Abstract: An electronic program schedule system which includes a receiver for receiving broadcast, satellite or cablecast television programs for a plurality of television channels and a tuner for tuning a television receiver to a selected one of the plurality of channels. A data processor receives and stores in a memory television program schedule information for a plurality of television programs to appear on the plurality of television channels. A user control apparatus, such as a remote controller, is utilized by a viewer to choose user control commands and transmit signals in response to the data processor which receives the signals in response to user control commands. A television receiver is used to display the television programs and television program schedule information. A video display generator receives video control commands from the data processor and program schedule information from the memory and displays a pop-up hint in overlaying relationship with the program schedule information in at least one mode of operation of the television programming guide. The data processor controls the video display generator with video control commands, issued in response to the user control commands, or in response to a predetermined period of user inactivity to display pop-up hints for the user's current position in the guide in overlaying relationship with the program schedule information. <IMAGE>

Title: Blower having fan oriented perpendicular to discharge nozzle
Inventor: MARSHALL JAMES D
IPC: E01H1/08
Filed: 2002-04-26
Granted: 2005-01-27
Abstract: A blower having a fan mounted perpendicularly relative to an airflow discharge port. The fan is disposed within a volute formed in the housing at a rear area of the housing. This places the volute slightly behind the user's leg or hip when the blower is suspended or being held by a user along one side of the user's body. This significantly increases the ergonomics, efficiency and comfort of the blower by allowing the blower to rest more comfortably along the user's side without interference from the volute portion of the housing. This also allows the motor to be located directly underneath the handle of the housing to provide a better balance and feel to the housing when the user is holding onto the blower via the handle.

Growth promoting compositions containing such benzo-fused lactams as the active ingredient therefore are also disclosed.
Patent AU-757552-B2 (AU)
Title: Liquid rotary nozzle with coil spring retarder
Inventor: ZINK GERALD P
IPC: B05B3/06
Filed: 1999-07-16
Granted: 2003-02-27
Abstract: A high pressure liquid nozzle housing encloses a self-rotating speed-controlled nozzle. A cylindrical sleeve in the housing forms an inwardly facing friction surface engageable by a nozzle-driven friction generating speed control mechanism to provide increasing retarding force on the nozzle as nozzle speed increases for controlling maximum nozzle rotational speed. The speed control mechanism includes a radially expandable helical coil spring rotatable with the nozzle with its windings at low nozzle speeds slightly spaced from the sleeve. An input end of the coil spring is driven by the nozzle structure in a direction tending to unwind the spring and increase its outer diameter in response to rotation of the nozzle. An output end of the coil spring rotatably drives a cluster of centrifugal weights which are spring biased away from the sleeve and which at low nozzle rotation speeds also remain spaced from the sleeve. At higher speeds of nozzle rotation the weights move outwardly and frictionally engage the sleeve and provide a drag on the output end of the spring to aid in unwinding the spring, increasing its diameter and moving it with progressively increasing force into friction creating engagement with the sleeve to provide progressively increased retarding force against nozzle rotation as nozzle speed increases. The weights and spring retarding forces combine, but the spring retarding force is several times the retarding at the weights when an equilibrium between retarding forces and opposing jet stream nozzle reaction is reached at maximum nozzle speed.

Title: Lock for flaps, doors or the like, in motor vehicles, especially a lock for glove compartments
Inventor: SZABLEWSKI PIOTR
IPC: E05B83/30
Filed: 1999-08-12
Granted: 2002-05-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a lock that can be used with a flap, comprising a rotary unit that is made up of a rotary spagnolet that interacts with a closing element (10) and a rotating latch (22). In order to improve operational performance, the rotary unit is provided with a rigid catch (23) that preferably has two counter shoulders running in opposite directions. The output member (35) of a motor (40)-driven gear mechanism is also provided with two corresponding counter shoulders. This enables the motor to provide assistance with closing and, optionally, opening, whereby the rotary unit can be guided in a closing, tilting direction or an opening, tilting direction until the flap is fully closed or opened. The motor (40) comprises a gear mechanism with a group of gears that can be displaced between an engaged position and a separated position. The detent pawl (16) which interacts with the rotating latch (22) is disabled in the separated position, should an emergency arise. When the flap is in a closed or open position, a free area exists between the shoulders and counter shoulders, enabling the flap to be moved manually.

Title: Digital intergrated circuit
Inventor: SHIMIZUME KAZUTOSHI
IPC: G11C19/00
Filed: 1986-10-15
Granted: 1990-02-01
Abstract: A digital integrated circuit incorporates a plurality of multi-port flip-flop circuits which are interconnected by a plurality of gate circuits (3,4,8,9). A separate source of clock pulses is provided for each of the ports of the multi-port flip-flop circuits, and each clock pulse source is selectively effective to cause the multi-port flip-flop circuits to perform independent functions. During operation under one source of clock pulses, the flip-flops perform their ordinary function as D type flip-flops. During operation under another source of clock pulses, the flip-flops function as one or more shift registers in order to set the flip-flops to a predefined initial state in accordance with serial input data, and/or to provide serial output data in response to the state of the flip-flops following a preceding operation. When a further source of clock pulses is effective, a plurality of flip-flops may be connected to function as a random number generator or as a signature generator so as to perform repetitive operations such as cycling the address inputs of a ROM and providing output signals corresponding to the operation of the ROM.
