Title: Mounting apparatus for a modular sofa assembly
Inventor: LAPOINTE LARRY PATRICK
IPC: A47C1/035
Filed: 1991-08-05
Granted: 1997-07-08
Abstract: A mounting apparatus  for securing a plurality of independent seating sections together to form a modular sofa assembly.  Each of the independent seating sections has lower front and rear end portions which include front and rear cross bars, respectively.  A first elongated frame rail secures to each of the rear cross bars when the independent seating sections are placed  closely  adjacent  each  other  in  a  side-by-side configuration.  A second elongated frame rail similarly attaches to the front cross bars of each chair seating section when the seating sections are positioned closely adjacent each other in a side-by-side configuration. The first and second elongated frame rails are removably secured to the cross bars preferably via threaded screws and can therefore be attached quickly and easily if the sofa is to be disassembled and moved.  The apparatus thus greatly facilitates the shipping and handling of independent seating sections which are intended to be coupled together to form a modular sofa by enabling each seating section to be shipped separately and then removably coupled together via the first and second elongated frame rails.         The first and second elongated frame rails each include a plurality of elongated apertures which significantly serve to introduce a degree of adjustability into the mounting apparatus to enable  it to secure seating sections comprising varying thicknesses of fabric and padding in a side-by-side arrangement while maintaining a prop desired spacing between adjacent seating sections.

Granted: 1995-12-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a bar anchor arrangement for bars subject to tensile stress, whereby the bar anchor (1) consists of an anchor body with a bore provided with an internal thread (5) for screwing in a tension bar (8) provided with an external thread (9) as well as of two parallel eye plates (3) adjoining the anchor body to accommodate an eye bar (10). A smooth tolerance compensating section (6 and 7) is provided on at least one side of the internal thread (5). The length of the external thread (9) of the tension bar (8) essentially corresponds to the minimum screw-in length of the tension bar plus the length of a tolerance compensating section. The length of the internal thread (5) is greater than the minimum screw-in length of the tension bar.

Title: Lead line supervision system
Inventor: STROBEL DONALD H
IPC: H04M11/00
Filed: 1992-06-19
Granted: 2000-08-08
Abstract: A data transmission system uses a malfunction detection circuit for detecting malfunction conditions between a data transmitting station and a data receiving station connected with first and second data transmission lines. The malfunction circuit senses a data signal of a first polarity for a preselected duration and provides an output signal when the data signal exceeds the preselected duration. The circuit also supplies a detection signal of a second preselected duration in a polarity opposite the data signal and detects the presence of or the absence of the detection signal. The circuit thereafter provides an output signal indicative of the malfunction condition when the absence of the detection signal exceeds the second preselected duration.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining the orientation of a document
Inventor: STEVENS MARK A
IPC: B07C3/02
Filed: 1992-06-23
Granted: 2006-04-11
Abstract: To identify the orientation of specified documents, such as checks bearing magnetic ink markings, steps are taken to magnetize ink markings associated with the document, and to then detect magnetized ink markings on the document to develop electrical signals which cad then be subjected to processing for identifying the orientation of the document based upon certain preestablished criteria. The result is a stand-alone device adapted to operate upon documents which are contained within envelopes to be subjected to an extraction procedure, prior to extraction from the envelopes, achieving a pre-processing of envelopes to identify those which contain the specified documents, and the orientation of the identified documents. The device is similarly adapted to operate upon the extracted documents, to identify those requiring special handling, and their orientation.

Title: Injection molding nozzle with thermocouple tube
Inventor: GELLERT JOBST ULRICH
IPC: B29C45/27
Filed: 1993-01-27
Granted: 2000-07-04
Abstract: A heated injection molding nozzle having a cylindrical locating flange extending forwardly from a rear collar portion to mount the nozzle in a well in a cooled mold. The nozzle has a cylindrical central portion with an insulative air space extending between it and the surrounding cooled mold. A hollow thermocouple tube extends through the rear collar portion and along the inner surface of the locating flange to removably receive a thermocouple element which extends from the rear end of the nozzle and through the insulative air space to monitor the operating temperature near the forward end of the nozzle.      In the event of pressurized melt escaping to fill the air space, contact of the thermocouple tube with the locating flange cools the melt which flows into the thermocouple tube sufficiently to freeze it and prevent leakage out amongst the wiring in other parts of the mold.

Abstract: A modular jack applicable to a flat assembly. A hole is pierced in a flat member and a cover that can be opened and closed is disposed so as to cover an opening of the hole. When a modular plug is inserted into the hole, the cover is opened; when not, the cover is closed. When the cover is closed, it is housed in the opening, and the modular jack equals the flat member substantially in thickness. When the modular plug is inserted into the hole through the opening with the cover open, the insertion direction of the modular plug is regulated by inner walls of the hole. When the tip of the modular plug abuts against a bottom portion of the hole, the modular plug cannot be inserted any more. In the state, an electrode section located in the hole is electrically connected to electrodes of the modular plug. A hook portion disposed in the cover locks the.e modular plug so as to prevent the modular plug from easily dropping out of the modular jack even if the modular plug is pulled. If the cover is provided with a lock/release mechanism, the cover can be opened or closed through single finger motion.

Title: Apparatus for automatic initiation of data transmission
Inventor: PETERSEN BRIAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1993-07-27
Granted: 2001-05-01
Abstract: Early initiation of transmission of data in a network interface that includes a dedicated transmit buffer is provided in a system which includes logic for transferring frames of data composed by the host computer into the transmit buffer. The amount of data of a frame which is downloaded by the host to the transmit buffer is monitored to make a threshold determination of an amount of data of the frame resident in the transmit data buffer. The network interface controller includes logic for initiating transmission of the frame when the threshold determination indicates that a sufficient portion of the frame is resident in the transmit buffer, and prior to transfer of all of the data of the frame into the transmit buffer. The monitoring logic includes a threshold store, which is programmable by the host computer for storing a threshold value. Thus, the threshold value may be set by the host system to optimize performance in a given setting.
