Abstract: An amusement swing apparatus for children and adults alike and more particularly, a horizontal rotating manually operated swing. It can be conceptualized as two seesaws lapped in the middle at right angles, but instead of the riders going up and down, they remain in a horizontal plane and rotates about the centre point. Where these beams cross at the middle, they are supported on a housing that carries two bearings, one on top of the housing and one at the bottom. This housing is fitted to a vertical shaft that passes through the centre of the lapped beams and allows the housing with the lapped beams to rotate freely around it. The shaft is firmly fixed to the ground or floor surface. Four or six legs, attached to a flange welded to the shaft add support to the structure. These legs spread out evenly around the flange and are fixed to the ground or floor surface. The four outer ends of the beams have seats for persons to sit on. At the top of the centre shaft is a short vertical pin that is placed offset by a flat plate in the shape of a cam. This cam shaped plate is attached to the top of the centre shaft by means of a boss. The boss is welded to the bottom of the larger side of the cam-shaped plate. Fixed on the underside of each of the lapped beams, at the outer ends near to where each person sits, are footrest frames. Directly above these footrests are handle frames that axe hinged to the beams and have a handle for each rider to hold on to with both hands.  These handle frames are free to move forward and backwards. Each handle frames have a short cross pin to which the connecting rods are hinged. The other ends of these connecting rods are hinged to the vertical offset pin with interconnecting short knuckle linkages. These short linkages have two rings at each end that are turned horizontal and vertical. Any one out of the four riders can operate the swing. By grabbing the handles and moving them forward and backward creates a translation force on the frame to allow the rider to start rotate around the centre pivotal point.

Abstract: In Caenorhabditis elegans, lin-4 and let-7 encode 22- and 21 -nucleotide RNAs, respectively, that function as key regulators of developmental timing. Because the appearance of these short RNAs is regulated during development, they are also referred to as "small temporal RNAs" (stRNAs). We show that many more 21-and 22-nt expressed RNAs, termed microRNAs, (miRNAs), exist in invertebrates and vertebrates, and that some of these novel RNAs, similar to let-7 stRNA, are also highly conserved. This suggests that sequence-specific post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms mediated by small RNAs are more general than previously appreciated.

Abstract: A fastening device is comprised of a housing having an operating lever pivotally mounted thereon. A striker is also located in the housing and oriented to drive a fastener from the housing. An actuator spring is coupled to the striker and adapted to bias the striker for driving the fastener from the housing. A firing lever is pivotally mounted on the housing and operable by the operating lever for raising the striker against the bias of the actuator spring. The firing lever is adapted to shift laterally relative to the striker and is normally located in a rest position. The firing lever is positioned to engage the striker when the operating lever is actuated to raise the striker. The firing lever is shifted laterally to release the striker for actuation by the actuator spring after the striker is raised.

Granted: 2009-03-24
Abstract: A clothes drying appliance has a moisture sensor and a signal acceleration processor coupled to receive and monitor a moisture signal from the moisture sensor. The processor determines signal gradients in the moisture signal and detects either minimums or maximums in the moisture signal when a sign change occurs between two successive signal gradients. The processor uses the detected local minimum or maximum information and the gradient preceding the detected local minimum or maximum to extrapolate a predicted moisture signal value for the clothing articles. The generation of the predicted moisture signal compensates for sensor response time.

Title: Cooking appliance control system
Inventor: HORTON WILLARD HENRY
IPC: F24C7/08
Filed: 2005-07-25
Granted: 2011-07-19
Abstract: A control system for a cooking appliance enables a consumer to selectively program a cooking appliance through a control panel in a conventional mode based on established cooking times and temperatures, as well as in a simplified mode incorporating a minimal number of programming steps. In the simplified mode, the consumer selects a first, non-temperature related special features button and inputs a cook time. Immediately following input of the cook time, the control system starts a cooking operation. If the selected time is greater than a predetermined value, the control system automatically operates the cooking appliance in a cold start mode. An override is provided to disable the cold start mode if so desired. In addition, the control system allows a consumer to input both minimum and maximum cook times for the cooking operation.
