Granted: 1998-10-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus to provide a mag trick wheel conta ining a magnetic core with subsequently magnetized metal protrusions. These protrusions are of sufficient length to mount said wheel on a pair of parallel U-shaped rails that allow for the wheel to be propelled manually around a fixed track. The rails are connected at a grooved handle which contains a sliding speed control button allowing for modera tion in wheel speed. Surrounding the circumference of the wheel is a rubber tread to provide traction and enhance durability. Integrated into both the wheel and the handle a re glow in the dark stickers which provide illumination so the toy can be played in the dark. If properly handled, the wheel can be moved along the rails which provide a simple path for the wheel to follow. Once one is adept at maintaining the simple motion of t he wheel a wide variety of tricks can be performed.

Abstract: A roof drain for draining rain water from a flat roof comprises a conduit, with a roof flange, a strainer for straining debris from the water entering the drain, having an openable cap. The roof flange extends peripherally outwardly around the top of the conduit, and provides a connection between the surface of the roof. The conduit provides a connection with a drainage pipe located beneath the surface of the roof. The roof flange has a flat outer top surface and an recessed inner portion with a shoulder connecting the inner and outer portions of the roof flange. The strainer includes a hollow strainer basket with open bottom and top faces and side walls containing a plurality of apertures, and a strainer flange extending peripherally outwardly around the bottom edge of the side walls of the strainer basket. The outside dimension of the strainer flange is sized to fit within the recessed portion of the roof flange. The shoulder of the roof flange is crimped over the strainer flanger to non-removably rigidly couple the strainer to the roof flange. The openable cap provides selective access to the interior of the strainer to facilitate periodic cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the roof drain.

Title: A multiprocessor programmable interrupt controller system with processor-integrated interrupt controllers
Inventor: NIZAR P K
IPC: G06F15/17
Filed: 1994-12-21
Granted: 2001-08-21
Abstract: A multiprocessor programmable inter-rupt controller (MPIC) has a distinct three-wire interrupt bus (15) with one clock wire and two data wires for handling interrupt request (IRQ) related messages. Each pro-cessor chip (114) has an on-board interrupt acceptance unit (IAU) coupled to the inter-rupt bus (15) for the acceptance of IRQs. I/O device interrupt lines are connected to one or more interrupt delivery units (IDUs 113) that are each coupled to the interrupt bus (15). A modification to the lowest prior-ity mode arbitration procedure also provides means for uniform distribution of IRQs to eligible processors. The actual servicing of the IRQs is done by means of the system bus (110). An MPIC cluster system provides means for interconnecting individual MPIC systems into an expanded interrupt controller system whenever the interrupt handling ca-pacity of individual MPIC system (cluster) is exceeded by using a cluster manager.

IPC: G01J9/02
Filed: 1997-03-14
Granted: 1999-08-17
Abstract: In a method to resolve ambiguities in a phase measurement for application in radar interferometry, a frequency estimation method is used, starting from conjugate complex products of pairs of adjacent pixels in an interferogram.  The resolution of these products is subsequently reduced through successive addition or averaging, after which the differential phase of adjacent resolution levels is determined in each resolution level.  The sum of the phase differences yields the estimated value for the phase gradient which is then used in a known method, such as the least-squares method, to reconstruct the absolute phase, thus resolving the phase ambiguities.  The method according to the invention serves to resolve phase ambiguities in radar interferograms without producing the known distortions produced by the existing methods.  The method is also robust at low coherence values as they occur in repeat-pass interferometry where the existing methods fail. The method allows for a simple adaptation to the common local variations in interferogram quality.

Abstract: An oscillator screen cleaning apparatus (10, 110) includes a housing (12, 112) having a plurality of spray nozzles (18, 118) to spray a printing screen (16, 116) with solvent. An oscillating mechanism (25, 128) oscillates the screen in front of the spray nozzles, which nozzles (18, 118) are arranged in opposing grid patterns for complete coverage of the screen with sprayed solvent. The srprayed solvent is collected, filtered and resprayed onto the screen at a high spray rate. Housing (12, 112) is coupled to a vapor recovery system (110, 145) to keep solvent vapors from escaping into the environment. In one embodiment (110), guide brackets (170) guide the screen (16, 116) perpendicular to the nozzles (18, 118) from the screen's sides to handle screens of different heights. A reservoir (120) with a sloped wall (140) and a pump (123) recaptures sprayed solvent and pumps it to the nozzles (18, 118) for recycling. A wipe down booth (152) captures excess solvent from a screen (16, 116) removed from the housing (12, 112) and directs the captured solvent to the reservoir (120).

Abstract: The marking tag for banded merchandise has a resilient flat sheet with printed matter on at least one surface and an outer perimeter defining the outer limits of the body. Entirely within the outer perimeter is a pair of openings in spaced relationship and a slit connecting the pair of openings and forming a resilient bluntly pointed tongue in the body. The tongue has opposing straight side portions in an angular relationship greater than 40 degrees and less than 80 degrees and the opposing sides converge toward each other and are conjoined at the bluntly pointed tip. The bluntly pointed tongue is easily temporarily deflected from the plane of the body by finger pressure to readily insert the tip underneath a band about banded merchandise and slide the tongue fully under the band to seat the band in the pair of openings. The tag is thus placed in a substantially flush condition against the handed merchandise.

Granted: 2001-05-08
Abstract: The apparent speed of a connection between a browser at a user station and a proxy or gateway on a network such as the Internet is increased by providing a local proxy at the user station which interacts with a remote proxy.  While the remote proxy is retrieving a newly requested World Wide Web page, for example, from the appropriate content provider, it may also be sending to the local proxy a stale cached version of that page.  When the new version of the page is finally retrieved, the remote proxy determines the differences between the new version and the stale version, and, assuming the differences do not exceed the new page in size, sends the differences to the local proxy which then reconstructs the new page from the differences and the stale version.  The local proxy delivers the new page to the browser, which need not even be aware that a local proxy exists; it is aware only that it received the page it requested.  Because computational speed and power are frequently higher and cheaper than transmission speed, the apparent speed of the connection between the user station and the network has been increased at modest cost.
