Abstract: A sink stopper comprises a perforated strainer basket, a sealing member, an upwardly extending handle, and a downwardly depending locating stem. The locating stem comprises a base portion and two substantially parallel spaced-apart co-operating legs that are substantially rigid yet resiliently deformable towards each other. Each peripheral surface comprises an outwardly and upwardly sloped guide surface disposed at the bottom end portion thereof, an outwardly and downwardly sloped grate-contacting surface disposed at the top end portion thereof, and a grate-receiving notch disposed between the guide surface and the grate-contacting surface. The grate-receiving notch includes an upwardly facing catch surface shaped and dimensioned to catch on the grate in interfering relation therewith. The maximum width of the locating stem at the bottom end of the sloped grate-contacting surface is greater than the diameter of the central guiding aperture in the grate. The sink stopper is movable between a seated flow precluding position whereat the locating stem engages the grate at the outwardly and downwardly sloped grate-contacting surface so as to thereby bias the sink stopper downwardly, and a raised straining position whereat the locating stem engages the grate at the grate-receiving notch, so as to thereby support the sink stopper and so as to resist upward movement therefrom of the sink stopper.

Title: Error detection and recovery for high rate isochronous data in mpeg-2 data streams
Inventor: MORONEY PAUL
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 1997-05-08
Granted: 2004-11-23
Abstract: Error recovery is provided for isochronous data ("isodata") obtained from a data stream. Isodata transport packets are monitored to locate isodata presentation time stamps (PTSs). The presentation of isodata from a buffer is synchronized to a system time clock (STC) using timing information derived from the PTSs. Discontinuity errors between said isodata transport packets are identified and, if a discontinuity of no more than one packet is identified, a write pointer of the buffer is advanced by a suitable number of bits to compensate for the discontinuity, while maintaining the synchronization of the presentation with respect to the STC. Additional error detection and recovery techniques are disclosed, including the maintenance of a presentation unit counter, the use of a PTS extension and PTS offset to verify output timing, the provision of a pair of PTS pointers verifying correct output data timing, the use of a packet elementary stream (PES) count to detect lost data in the transport stream, and the detection and discarding of packets designated as encrypted after any decryption should have already been completed.

Abstract: A device and method for contouring and sharpening an ice skate blade. The device uses a fixture for holding the ice skate. The fixture employs retractable depending cam rollers to be guided by cam templates recessed into the top surface of the table of the machine. The cam templates are coverable when not in use, thus increasing the usefulness of the top surface of the table. The grinding wheel is movable into and away from the fixture. One of the cam rollers is mounted to an eccentric wheel for pitching the ice skate blade in relation to the grinding wheel. The method comprises the steps of clamping a skate into the fixture, retractably depending or lowering the cam rollers to engage the cam templates in the table of the machine, adjusting the cam roller by operating the eccentric to achieve the desired pitch, moving the grinding wheel to the fixture holding the ice skate and contouring or sharpening the ice skate.
