Inventor: FELDMAN EDWARD T
IPC: A47B96/14
Filed: 1998-08-20
Abstract: A cargo load bracing bar (10) comprises first, outer (12) and
second, inner (14) telescoping tubular members, a housing (30) attached
to the outer tubular member (12), a pinion gear (40) and actuating
ratchet handle (46), having a spring-biased ratchet member mounted
thereon, respectively rotatably and pivotally mounted upon the
housing, and a gear rack (32) attached at one end thereof to the
inner tubular member (14) while the opposite end of the gear rack (32)
is slidably disposed upon the outer tubular member (12). An angle
bracket (56) is mounted upon the housing (30), and a spring-biased pawl
member (60) is slidably disposed upon the gear rack (32) and operatively
associated with the angle bracket (56). The pawl member (60) and the
ratchet member are normally engaged with the pinion gear (40) so as
to achieve the ratcheting extension of the gear rack (32) and the
inner tubular member (14) with respect to the outer tubular member (12).
However, the ratchet member may be disengaged from the pinion
gear (40) so as to permit the ratchet handle (46) to be moved to a collapsed
position substantially parallel to the outer tubular
member (12), and both the ratchet member and the pawl (60) member may be
disengaged from the pinion gear (40) so as to permit the pinion
gear (40) to freely rotate, and the gear rack (32) and inner tubular
member (14) to undergo free longitudinal movement, so as to permit
the cargo load bracing bar (10) to be rapidly extended or contracted.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a counterhoop (10) is formed by bonding a conventional flat
shaped hoop (14) with a resilient shell (12) component comprised of a convex outer wall and a generally flat
inner wall. The resilient shell (12) preferably begins as a liquid resin, which is poured into an annular
mold. The metal counterhoop (14) is inserted into the resin, and the cured resin is
allowed to harden, forming a shell (12) which is bonded to the counterhoop (14) to create
a unitary component. The inner and outer walls of the shell (12) join at the top edge of
the counterhoop (14), where the hoop abuts the outer surface of the drumshell. The
device (10) maintains and provides the requisite strength and shape of a conga drum
counterhoop, which is necessary to sustain the proper tensioning of the drumhead
while, concurrently providing the resilience to substantially eliminate the soreness
and discomfort that usually results when the hands are constantly striking the
drumhead in the act of playing the instrument.

Abstract: A self-service deposit terminal (10) is arranged to
validate deposited bank notes. Each note (38) is
individually transported past an interferometer (36)
which is connected to a control unit (46). The output of
the control unit (46) is input into a data processing
means (26) which generates a value indicative of the
surface roughness of the bank note. The value of
roughness is compared with at least one stored reference
value for genuine notes. The data processing means
determines either solely on this comparison, or in
conjunction with the output from a further validation
means, whether the tested note is invalid.

Abstract: A printing system that adjusts to drop volume characteristics of pens installed
within an associated printer. Each pen (202, 204, 206) has a characteristic drop
volume (208, 210, 212) representing the typical volume of ink expelled by the pen in
forming ink drops used to form output pixels. Up to a maximum of N drops are used
to form each pixel. A printer driver (100) receives print data for the printer indicating
saturation values (FIG. 3) for pixel data to be printed. Based on an expected pen drop
volume, each saturation value maps to a corresponding number of ink drops for that
value. To reduce data volume sent to the printer, the range of zero to N drops is
subdivided into levels (418, 420, 422, 424), each level representing some number of
drops per pixel, and this level data is sent to the printer. If the characteristic drop
volume of the pen is different from the expected volume, the subdivision of levels can
be adjusted to compensate for differences in drop volumes. A related method includes
the steps of defining at least first, second, and third levels of printing saturation, where
in the first, second, and third level are respectively ejected N1, N2, and N3 droplets of
ink per pixel. This method includes receiving data related to a characteristic drop
volume associated with the printing system, and setting the value of at least one of
{N1, N2, or N3} in accordance with the received data. The characteristic drop
volume may be stored within a memory associated with each pen.
