Abstract: Flexible barrier for a streamer or confetti launchers. The invention replaces a circular
piece of cardboard loosely housed in a streamer or confetti launcher, an already known
party device. The device has the shape of a bowl. Its base (7) is flexible and inserted
inside the body of the launcher (1). The edge of the bowl is rigid and is provided with
areas for connecting to the launcher. Said launcher employs a very small pyrotechnic
device which can be started by pulling on an external cord (3). The activation deforms
the flexible base of the bowl. This sudden deformation only expels the contents of the
bowl, that is, the streamers. All waste and debris from the pyrotechnic component are
fully contained by means of the base of the bowl and said rigid fixing to the launcher
does not expel loose cardboard, thus achieving the main objective of the invention.

Title: Apparatus for clocking digital and analog circuits on a common substrate and Method
Inventor: KNAPP DAVID J
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: An apparatus and method for clocking digital and analog circuits on a common substrate is provided. The apparatus and method serves to reduce digitally derived noise at select times during which the analog input signal is sampled. Analog sampling error is thereby reduced while, at the same time, the digital clocking signal maintains maximum frequency. Digitally derived noise is substantially eliminated near the latter portion of each sampling interval to ensure an accurate sampled value exists at the culmination of that interval. During the earlier portion of each sampling interval, digital clocking pulses are maintained at a high frequency so as to enhance processing speeds. It is determined that only the latter portion of each sample interval is critical to the reduction of sampling error. Furthermore, the digital clocking pulses occur a non-power-of-two factor to ensure tonal noise in not coupled into the analog circuit frequency band of interest.

notched shank 26, and a collar 36 with an axis 38 and
circumferentially extending ribs 56. When assembled, the
ribs 56 and notches 28 engage each other to resist axial
translation between the stud 22 and the collar 36. In one
embodiment, a spring 66 urges the rib 56 into contact with
the notch 28 to tension the stud 22 and clamp the panel 14
to its support 12. In a second embodiment, the collar 36a
has external threads. A nut 76 engages the threads to
tension the stud 22 and clamp the panel 14 to its support

Because the composite stud 22 is susceptible to damage if
exposed to excessive torque, both embodiments include
