Abstract: A mechanism for connecting ornamental parts of wrist watches that permits easy assembly and disassembly of the parts without using special tools and without detracting from the appearance of the wrist watches.  The mechanism includes a pin and a sleeve for receiving and retaining the pin.  The pin has end regions of a first diameter and at least one region located between the ends of a second, smaller diameter.  The sleeve may be figure-eight shaped or obround and includes two interconnected bores of different diameter.  A first larger-diameter bore is sized to loosely accommodate the larger-diameter end regions of the pin, while the second smaller-diameter bore is sized to accommodate the smaller-diameter region of the pin.  In use the sleeve is inserted in an opening shaped to receive it in one part to be assembled and the parts are aligned.  The pin is then inserted through both parts and the sleeve.  Pulling in opposite directions on the parts forces the smaller-diameter region of the pin into the smaller-diameter bore in the sleeve where it is retained by inwardly protruding ribs between the two bores of the sleeve, or by resilient tension created by deformation of the sleeve.  With the pin thus securely held in place, the two parts are firmly connected.

Abstract: A metal cutting tool assembly (1) having an automatically adjustable chipbreaker (23) is provided that comprises a cutting insert (11) for cutting a relatively rotating workpieces a holder (3) for holding the insert (11), an insert driver (5) for applying a cutting force between the insert (11) and the workpiece, a chipbreaker (23) having a surface (27) that is effective in breaking chips (55, 56) of different thicknesses when positioned at different distances from the cutting edge (19) of the insert (11), and a mounting mechanism (30) for movably mounting the chipbreaker (23) onto the holder (3). The mounting mechanism (30) includes a spring (50) for automatically adjusting the distance between the chipbreaking surface (27) of the chipbreaker (23) and the cutting edge (19) of the insert (11) in response to the forces applied to the chipbreaker (23) by the metal chips (55, 56) that result from the cutting operation. The mounting mechanism (30) may allow the chipbreaker (23) to either slidably reciprocate on the holder (3) toward and away from the cutting edge (19), or to pivotally move with respect to the cutting edge (19). In both cases, the deflection of the spring (50) is proportional to the thickness of the metal chips (55, 56) engaging the chipbreaking surface (27), which in turn automatically provides the appropriate chipbreaking geometry. The inventive tool assembly allows the same chipbreaker (23) to effectively break chips (55, 56) of widely varying thicknesses which are created when the cutting insert (11) is used to make a variety of different types of cuts in a machining operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing a plurality of sequentially arranged edged contoured slats for use in a blind.  A strip of material 10 is provided lengthwise into the slat making machine.  It passes through a forming unit 6 where it is cambered, into an accumulator 8 where any excess is held, through a position encoder 12 and over a collision detector 14.  Edge contours are then cut into the strip material if they are not already pre-provided.  The positions of any edge contours are detected by a sensor 18 which provides relevant information to a CPU 40.  On the basis of this information and other pre-provided information on the type of blind being made guide holes and notches and the ends of the slats are cut ensuring that the contouring and the guide holes and ends do not interfere with each other.

Title: Transmitting and receiving long messages in a wireless one-way communication system while reserving selected slots for short messages
Inventor: GASKILL GAROLD B
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 1995-07-14
Granted: 2006-12-05
Abstract: A receiver operates in both a first polling protocol and in a selectable data acquisition protocol to both conserve power while quickly read long messages in wireless one-way communication systems. The receiver first polls data transmissions at a relatively slow periodic rate to identify messages. When the receiver identifies a corresponding address in the data transmission, a format packet directs the receiver to acquire data using a second data acquisition protocol independent of the polling protocol. The data acquisition protocol enables long messages to be communicated in a fast, highly reliable manner. After the long message is successfully transmitted, the receiver automatically reverts back into a polling protocol to conserve power.

Abstract: A pictorial user interface for accessing information in an electronic file system provides a pictorial image (12) which is linked to a file directory and which identifies the file directory. Objects (14, 16, 18) in the pictorial image are icons linked to file objects and an animated character (22) is overlaid on the pictorial image. User input causes movement of the animated character relative to the pictorial image.  Input from the user is preferably through a limited input device such as a gamepad controller (30), a mouse, or by using a limited number of keys on a normal keyboard. Animations may include actions of the animated character or the behavior of a selected icon, or both. The interface may be applied as an overlay to virtually any operating system.

Title: Agent vectoring

Granted: 2000-06-13
Abstract: An ACD system (101) is programmable by an operator of the ACD system to automatically change the work of a call center agent (106-108) in order to maximize the agent's productivity and to provide a variety of work balanced with"breather" time in order to prevent agent burn-out. The conditions for changing the agent's work and the agent's alternative duties when the conditions are met are both programmed by the operator via a vectoring capability (150) of the ACD system and a scripting language (FIGS. 2-23) for defining the vectors. When an agent becomes available to handle a call from a particular call queue (121-129), the agent's corresponding vector is executed, and the conditions specified by the vector arechecked against the present status of the call center to determine if they are met. If the conditions are not met, the agent is caused to handle a call from the particular call queue. But if the conditions are met, the agent is caused to perform a function specified by the vector, other than handing a call from the particular call queue, even though a call may be waiting for an available agent in that call queue.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing bacteria-free iodine-species-containing drinking water for farm animals under continuous dynamic water flow, comprising dissolving solid iodine into a first water flow to produce a saturated iodine species-containing aqueous solution at a pre-selected temperature; blending the saturated solution with a second water flow to produce a diluted iodine species bacterium-free aqueous solution; and providing the diluted solution as drinking water to the animals. Preferably, the iodine is dissolved in the first water flow to provide a saturated iodine species at a pre-selected temperature at a known concentration, which saturated solution is then blended into a mean water flow. The continuous flow of iodine species-containing water is fed to a farm animal drinking water distribution network with reduced risk ofback-contamination by bacteria-containing water through the network. Other uses of the iodinated water are as a disinfectant, for example, in the food processing industry; fruit, vegetable and fish preservation; industrials, commercial cooling tower waters, sewage and waste water treatment; and as a nutrient as an iodine source for humans, livestock, fish and plants.

Abstract: As signal bandwidths increase in multimedia terminals, reducing latency and jitter imposed upon signals transmitted within the terminals is becoming increasingly important.  Present architectures do not isolate multimedia, time-sensitive signals from other, or unrelated signals, resulting in a negative impact on signal transmission, and consequently terminal performance.  This invention arises from a recognition that improved performance could result from isolating the two types of signals. According to the invention there is provided a multimedia terminal for processing multimedia signals such as video and audio signals. The multimedia terminal has a host processor, latency and jitter insensitive and latency and jitter sensitive devices, and an isolation device between the latency and jitter insensitive devices and at least some of the latency and jitter sensitive devices is operative to pass primarily low bandwidth signals.
