Granted: 2000-08-01
Abstract: An oscillating belt sander or spindle sander is disclosed. The sander includes a motor shaft that extends upwardly through a worktable that supports a workpiece. The motor shaft supports a belt sander or spindle sander sanding surface. A combined motor and mechanical drive transmits rotational and reciprocating motion to the motor shaft which includes input and output motor shaft ends. The motor operates to impart rotational motion through the output motor shaft end while the mechanical drive is connected to the input motor shaft end and also imparts reciprocating motion through the output motor shaft end. The output motor shaft end facilitates interchangeable mounting of a spindle sander sleeve or a belt sanding assembly. Thus, the sander is readily adaptable for conversion to a belt sander or spindle sander, as may be desired.

Abstract: An apparatus specifically tailored to transporting pipes in a tunnel is disclosed. A pair of low slung bogies are used to support and transport a pipe to pipe junction location. The bogies move over a pair of rails on rollers. The pipe rests on a set of inflatable devices which may be selectively inflated in a controlled manner to move the pipe in two axes during transport to the junction site. At the junction site, the inflatable devices are used to "jockey" the pipe on the transport device to provide limited roll, pitch and yaw movement of the pipe to facilitate mating the transported pipe with the end of a previously set pipe string.

Title: Self-locking fastener with captive washer
Inventor: MCKINLAY ALISTAIR N
IPC: F16B39/24
Filed: 1997-06-05
Granted: 2007-06-19
Abstract: This invention relates to a wedge-locking fastener assembly in which a washer is connected to flanged nut by a series of tabs that extend around the outer edge of the flange on a nut. In one embodiment, a cup-shaped washer has an integral annular cylindrical skirt that extends around the outer edge of the flange. Tabs extend radially inwardly from the periphery of the skirt around the flange of the nut. The arrangement is such that the washer can move axially as well as rotatably with respect to the nut to permit the wedge-locking cams to wedge the nut between the cams on the washer and the threads on the bolt. When the nut is turned in a tightening direction, it tightens the washer on the workpiece. When the nut tends to rotate in the loosening direction, such as in response to vibration, the washer remains fixed, but the nut becomes tighter.

Title: A mechanical seed meter
Inventor: SNIPES TERRY LEE
IPC: A01C7/16
Filed: 1997-10-01
Granted: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A mechanical seed meter having a stationary housing and a rotatable bowl. The stationary housing is provided with a first axial wall, an outer radial wall and a flexible inner radial wall. The bowl is provided with seed receiving cells that form a second axial wall for trapping singled seeds in the seed trapping area. A flexible and resilient flap maintains the seed in the seed receiving cells. An axially extending brush removes excess seeds from the seed receiving cells as they pass through the seed puddle before entering the seed trapping area. The seed slides along the radial outer wall by centrifugal force until it enters the outlet area from which the outer radial wall becomes part of the outlet and the metered seed is deposited through the outlet to a seed tube. Jammed seed, that is seed trapped in the seedreceiving cells, are provided with a downward force by a bump located in the outlet and an upward force by a rotatable wheel located downstream from the outlet.

Title: Method and apparatus for defeating effects of color burst modifications to a video signal
Inventor: RYAN JOHN O
IPC: H04N5/913
Filed: 1996-05-01
Granted: 2000-12-12
Abstract: In the known color stripe process for preventing recording of video signals, the color burst present on each line of active video is modified so that any subsequent video tape recording of the video signal shows variations in the color fidelity that appear as undesirable bands or stripes of color error.  This color stripe process is defeated first by determining the location of the video lines including the color stripe process, either by prior experimentation or by on-line detection. Then some or all of the lines including the modified color bursts are modified so as to render the overall video signal recordable. The modification is accomplished in a number of ways, including phase shifting the color stripe burst into the correct phase, replacing some of the color stripe bursts or a portion of particular color stripe bursts so that they are no longer effective, and mixing the color stripe burst with color stripe signals of the correct phase so as to eliminate most or all of the phase error present. The modified color bursts are defeated, in other versions, by modifying the horizontal sync pulse signals immediately preceding the modified color bursts so that the modified color bursts are not detected by a VCR and hence have no effect.
