Abstract: An integrated, fully automated video production system provides a video director with total control over all video production devices used to produce and broadcast a show. The video production system includes a processing unit that communicates with one or more video production devices and supports production automation. A video director defines a set of video production commands or instructions ("transition macro") to be executed by the processing unit, and then, by activating a control button displayed by the processing unit, the video director instructs the processing unit to execute the transition macro. The processing unit also records the show or elements from the show following its production. The show or elements can be recalled for subsequent broadcasts. An Internet interface supports live or on-demand requests for content from the video production. An online user can select specific elements and reorganize the elements to personalize a broadcast. The processing unit receives and executes the online request to continuously stream or download the content to the user.

Abstract: A terminal (104) is connected to a communication link (102) comprising a ribbon fiber (110) for communication in two directions over pairs of fiber in the ribbon. For each incoming fiber (106) in the ribbon fiber a receiver (112) is connected to an amplifier/detector (114) which emits detection signals on line (117). The detection signals indicate that there is sufficient optical power in the corresponding incoming fibers and are supplied via gates (124) to control units (122). These control whether electric signals incoming on lines (120) are to be conveyed further to transmitters (118) for being sent on the outgoing fibers (108). A channel selector unit (126) delivers selector signals to the gates so that when insufficient optical power exists in an incoming fiber the corresponding transmitter is only permitted to transmit during short repeated periods and is shut off in between.

Abstract: An electrical energy storage device for storing electrical energy and supplying the electrical energy to a driving motor at different power levels is disclosed. The electrical storage device has an energy battery connected to a power battery. The energy battery has a higher energy density than the power battery. However, the power battery can provide electrical power to the electrical motor at different power rates, thereby ensuring that the motor has sufficient power and current when needed. The power battery is continuously recharged by the energy storage battery. In this way, the power battery temporarily stores electrical energy received from the energy battery and provides the electrical energy at the different power rates as required by the motor. The energy storage device can be releasably connected to an external power source in order to recharge both batteries. Both batteries can be recharged independently to optimize the recharging and lifetime characteristics of the batteries.

Abstract: A two piece blind fastener for securing a plurality of workpieces including a hollow sleeve having an enlarged sleeve head at one end and a pin having an enlarged shear ring at the end opposite the sleeve head followed by an elongated retention portion of reduced diameter. The shear ring is adapted to engage and move inside the sleeve to form a tuliped shaped blind head in response to a relative axial force applied between the pin and sleeve and to shear off proximate to the inner or blind sheet line of the workpieces. The retention portion is then moved with the pin shank into the shear ring and with the shear ring finally located at a position on the retention portion depending upon the overall thickness of the workpieces. This provides a clamp and lock section between the pin and sleeve at the inner or blind side of the workpieces. The pin and sleeve have a lock structure actuated after final formation of the clamp and lock section to provide a lock between the pin and sleeve.
