IPC: H04N7/088
Filed: 1995-04-05
Abstract: A system and method of information dissemination that permits the user to listen to the specific content of information when and where he or she wants to. A radio or television receiver system receives information from an FM subcarrier, a television vertical blanking interval transmission, an active picture area television transmission a television separate audio program transmission or a dedicated radio channel and stores the transmitted information in a memory. A user interface allows selection from the memory of the stored information via a set of menus controlling a hierarchical database, so as to access particular items of the information. Typically the system includes RAM and/or a magnetic storage medium such as a digital audio tape, a magneto-optical mini-disk, a magnetic disk or optical disk, sufficient to store information for several hours of audio output. A decompression device accepts the accessed compressed digital audio information items and transforms them into audible speech signals. The user interface is either a voice control or a single or multi-position switch allowing scanning through and selection from the menu items. The system is also capable of transmitting alphanumeric data and converting this alphanumeric data to an audible form using a voice synthesizer.

Title: Nozzle plate for use in filling containers comprises nozzle holes with a cross-sectional shape that prevents drip
Inventor: SASAKI MASANORI
IPC: B67C3/26
Filed: 1995-09-26
Abstract: A liquid charging nozzle plate (10) comprising a plate body provided with a plurality of through holes (11). This liquid charging nozzle plate (10) is used by fixing the same to a lower end opening of a liquid charging tube (67). The outflow of a liquid with which the liquid charging tube (67) is filled is prevented owing to the surface tension of the liquid in the through holes (11) of the liquid charging nozzle plate (10). On an inner circumferential surface (13) of each through hole (11), projections (15) are provided which extend in the circumferential direction so that the inner diameter of the through hole (11) decreases. Owing to the cross-sectional shape of this through hole (11), the dripping of the liquid from the through hole (11) can be prevented effectively. Even when the through holes (51) are formed cross-sectionally to an elongated slit-like shape, the dripping of a liquid therefrom can also be prevented effectively.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lock for a sliding door or window includes a lock body 1.   A pivoting handle 2 operates a lever 4.  A cut out 4A in the lever engages a pin 14 which passes through the cutout and engages sliding latch bolt 13.  A spring 3 biases the bolt to its locked position.  When the door is closed, a ramped surface on the bolt contacts the strike plate, causing the bolt to slide against the bias of the spring 3 until it locks into place behind the strike plate.  To open the lock, handle 2 is rotates to rotate lever 4.  This causes pin 14 to move sideways and move the bolt 13 to its unlocked position.  A keyed lock may be added to the lock, the keyed lock moving a slide plate which prevents rotation of the lever 4.
