Title: Simplified vcr programmer
Inventor: GROSSMEYER MARK C
IPC: G11B33/10
Filed: 1998-03-06
Abstract: A simplified VCR programmer (10) provides only the essential input controls required for programming a VCR to perform timer activated recording of television programs. The invention performs seven day single event programming including weekly recording or Monday through Friday (M-F) daily recording.  This simplified VCR programmer (10) includes directly manipulable input controls (12 and 16) for setting the record start time including AM or PM, the record stop time and the day of the week. The VCR programmer (10) also includes a liquid crystal (LCD) (18) that displays the correct time and day of the week, and an infrared (IR) transmitter (34) for transmitting the manufacturers' record codes and stop codes stored in the VCR programmer (10).  The real time clock on the LCD (18) is set by three push-button switches (28, 30 and 32) to set the day, hour and minute of the clock. A test push-button switch (26) tests the record code function by sending out the stored record codes to the VCR receiver. All of the manufacturers' record and stop codes for most major VCR brands are transmitted sequentially by the IR transmitter (34) to the VCR at the pre-programmed times.

Abstract: A machine control subsystem is used to provide centralized control during broadcast in a news production system. A director workstation is coupled to a server, which is in turn coupled to any number of external devices that may be used during broadcast to air and display video or audio images. The director workstation uses a graphical user interface to display a list of events that are to occur during the production. The events include all events that are to be aired by any of the coupled devices. A director at the workstation may then control the production of all of the types of events from a centralized control station. To select an event or a sequence of events for production, the director may simply select the event from an event list, and the event will be broadcast without the director having to know particular characteristics of the device to display the event. The director workstation is coupled to a server. The server includes device manager software for interfacing with and controlling the operation of all of the externally coupled devices. By providing a centralized communication pathway between the director workstation and the devices, the server may forward status information about the devices to the director workstation to facilitate redirection of ressources by the director.

Title: Ground opener with improved disc scraper mounting
Inventor: MAYERLE DEAN JAY
IPC: A01B15/16
Filed: 1999-10-14
Abstract: A ground opener unit for a seeding or planting unit includes an arm attachable to an implement frame and a disc rotatably mounted to the arm for forming a furrow in the ground. A scraper assembly includes a scraper plate defining a scraper edge for contacting and scraping a surface of the disc. The scraper plate defines a mounting region remote from the edge. A scraper plate mount secures the scraper plate adjacent the disc and a resilient pad of material is interposed between the plate mounting region and the scraper plate mount. A spaced pair of fasteners extend through the mounting region to secure the scraper plate and resilient pad to the scraper plate mount. The fasteners are located in selected positions in the mounting region relative to the resilient pad such that the scraper plate is capable of being tilted or rocked when said scraper edge encounters irregularities thus assisting the scraper edge to follow the disc surface during use.

Abstract: A fan blade mounting system for large air-moving fans includes a radially extending hub strut (14), a blade root member (60) pivotally coupled to an end of the hub strut (14) for receiving a blade skin, and a tube end (22) located between the blade root member (60) and the hub strut (14). A pair of resilient mounts (25) are utilized in the blade root member (60) to effectively pivotally couple the blades (12) to the hub, thus relieving most of the vertical bending moment transferred to the hub (10) and eliminating critical frequencies associated with the fan. The hub strut (14) is connected to the hub (10) of the fan by a stud having right- and left-handed threads and a wall thickness adjacent to the threads sufficient for distributing the stresses substantially uniformly on the threads, thereby improving fatigue resistance. The resilient mounts (25) comprise a metal core (26) and a metal sleeve (27) with a resilient elastomeric layer (28) between the core (26) and the sleeve (27). The sleeves (27) are connected to the blade root member (60) and the cores (26) of the two mounts are clamped to the tube end (22).

Inventor: BOUCHERIE BART GERARD
IPC: A46D9/02
Filed: 1998-08-12
Abstract: For implant molding of toothbrushes pre-cut and pre-rounded fiber of thermoplastic material are used. Loose fibres are presented to an endrounding tool in a tuft or bundle and the free ends of the fibres are exposed to a working surface of the tool. Relative movement between the fibre ends and working surface causes the material of the fibres to be heated by friction of a predetermined intensity. The fibres while they are exposed to the working surface of the tool are permitted to flex laterally and are held in an axial direction of the tuft or bundle with their free ends commonly defining a surface different from a plane which is perpendicular to the axial direction, thereby achieving a substantially consistent flexing resistance throughout the cross section of the tuft or bundle with respect to lateral deflection upon engagement by the endrounding tool.

Title: Supporting concentrator in multiple paging channel environment
Inventor: KOO YUEN-YIN L
IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: A paging signal is detected where the paging signal is intended for a mobile- telephone having a paging channel frequency that is different than a paging channel frequency associated with a concentrator. A base station transmits a base station-to-mobile (BS-MT) paging message by including such BS-MT paging message in a base station-to-concentrator (BS- C) paging message. The BS-MT paging message includes a message portion and a mobile- telephone identifier portion, wherein the mobile-telephone identifier portion indicates the mobile-telephone to which the BS-MT paging message is for indicating the concentrator to which the BS-C is intended. The BS-C paging message is transmitted over a paging channel on a frequency f1 associated with the intended concentrator (i.e., concentrator through which the mobile-telephone is linked to the base station). The intended concentrator detects the BS-C paging message by monitoring its associated paging channel on frequency f1 for a BS-C paging message with a concentrator identifier portion indicating the concentrator. Upon detecting its BS-C paging message, the concentrator parses the BS-MT paging message from the BS-C message and transmits the BS-MT paging message to the intended mobile-telephone using a paging channel on frequency f2 being monitored by the mobile-telephone.

Patent CA-2318453-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ETGEN JOHN T
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for migrating prestack seismic data that can yield enormous gains in computational efficiency for some classes of seismic velocity models. The methods disclosed herein provides a method of rapidly calculatinga 2-D or 3-D prestack migration of common offset seismic data volumes for horizontally layered velocity models.  Additionally, because of the way that the migration is implemented, it is possible to calculate the migration operator using a very accurate wave transmission model with little increase in overall computer run time, i.e., a "full fidelity" migration. Broadly speaking, the instant invention is founded on the following novel observation: when the underlying velocity model consists of horizontally layered constant-velocity media, the prestack migration of a collection of common offset traces can be written as a convolution of a migration operator with the seismic data. As such, the migration may be sped up enormously by transforming both the migration operator and the seismic data to another domain where the convolution between the two can be calculated very efficiently. The invention disclosed herein will be most fully appreciated by those in the seismic interpretation and seismic processing arts.
