Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention encourages optimal exercise, particularly of the aerobic type, for cardiovascular fitness. The user powers an exerciser, such as a treadmill, simulated cycling or rowing, and the like, and a monitor displays the users speed and distance accomplished.  Also, the users pulse rate or heart beat 18 displayed and in addition, a variable speed outdoor exercising scene such as a person rowing a boat) is shown to e user when the monitor is a TV set.          The users speed signal controls the speed of a video-tap  cassette player to proportionately change the speed of the outdoor exercising scene.  The speed signal is converted to the reciprocal of speed i.e., minutes per mile and the distance is displayed to hundredths of miles.  The latter two signals are converted to BCD digits and superimposed on the video through a TV positioning  and generation circuit for display on the  cene. The heart beat is picked up electrically or by infra red and converted into three digits of beats per minute, and also superimposed on the video for display on the monitor.

Abstract: SAFETY ARRANGEMENT     Abstract:         A safety arrangement for an elevator system includes a governor means driven by a vertically sus-pended elongated flexible member.  The flexible member is attached to the actuating member of a braking means which is mounted on an elevator car.  When the car over-speeds in a downward direction the governor, operating through the flexible member, actuates the braking means to stop the car.  When the car is moving upwardly and decelerating, the flexible member produces an inertial force which is applied to the actuating member of the braking means.  To prevent this inertial force from operating the braking means, the safety arrangement in-cludes a compensating means.  The compensating means is mounted on the car and operates in response to its de-celeration at a predetermined rate to apply a compensating force to the actuating member.  This compensating force has a predetermined magnitude and opposes the inertial force of the flexible member to prevent such inertial force from operating the braking means.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A sheet metal mounting screw and method of forming the same is disclosed.  The screw is formed from a single flat blank of sheet metal having a generally T-shaped head and a slotted shank or barrel.  The shank, when folded, is tubular and has a seam extending along one side, with spaced resilient teeth extending outwardly from opposite sides thereof.  The teeth have inclined outer edges arranged in a helical path extending lengthwise around the shank in staggered relation to one other, for engagement with either tapped or untapped openings in a support.  The teeth are resilient and permit a push-in insertion of the threaded shank in the helically threaded opening.  The T-shaped head is formed integrally with the shank and contains a tool-receiving slot, which permits the screw to be turned angularly in tightening or removing the screw.          In forming the screw, a T-shaped blank is cut from a sheet of resilient metal.  The spaced teeth are cut from the shank and are bent outwardly.  Upper ends of the teeth are inclined and are arranged in a helical path around the shank for engagement with the threaded opening in the support.  The shank is rolled into a tubular form with a tapered lower extremity which enters the opening in the support.  The T-shaped upper end of the blank is then folded to form the head of the screw with the slot therein extending trans-versely of the shank.  The sides of the T-shaped bend are folded to form supports extending along opposite sides thereof.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure An apparatus for processing and viewing cassette contained film strips automatically in response to the condition of a cassette containing the film strip in accordance with programmed operational modes determined by an electro-mechanical logic stem.  The logic system enables the use of a single undirectional electric motor for driving all viewer apparatus components including a programming cam disc between "off", "project" and "process/rewind" positions.  A power switch organization brings about energization of the motor upon cassette insertion as well as movement of the logic disc to the off position upon a combination of cassette ejection and rotation of the camming disc to the off position.  Motor oper-ation in the process mode is controlled by an electronics system controlled by a combination of the programming disc position and the conductive or non-conductive state of cassette contained contacts which correspond respectively to the unprocessed or processed state of the film strip in the cassette.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION              A signalling device employing radio frequencies in which the transmitter produces a weak, or relatively weak, encoded transmission within a crowded frequency band and an associated receiver which includes a processor capable of detecting and analyzing the weak signal by applying significance to each signal parameter including pulse width, word length, pulse characteristic, number of bits; and, imposing the further requirement that the same parameters must be perceived a second time within a prescribed 0.2-0.8 sec. interval to insure that the signal has been produced by a correctly encoded transmitter and not by a mere random reception.  It is a characteristic of the signal processor that it search the received transmission, digitally analyze the encoded signal notwithstanding high noise/ signal ratio, and detect the presence of the encoded signal, and then operate a system after having authenticated a transmission and reception of the encoded signal by requiring a second detection of the encoded signal within a prescribed time.  In this way, the system is free of spurious actuations arising from mere random duplication of the encoded signal.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A developing apparatus includes a cylindrical drum having a photosensitive layer provided around the outer peripheral surface thereof, and a magnetic roller mounted within a receptacle and having permanent magnets oriented in a body thereof and a rotating cylindrical sleeve provided on the outer peripheral surface of the body thereof.  The receptacle holds a developer mixture including powdered iron and toner and it is opened to provide a magnetic brush exposure window where the magnetic roller and cylindrical drum face each other with a gap left therebetween.  The magnetic roller continuously supplies the developer mixture in the form of a magnetic brush toward the gap between the magnetic roller and the cylindrical drum.  A doctor blade is attached to the lowest edge portion of the exposure window to restrict the thickness of the magnetic brush.  A magnetic piece is attached to the outer surface of the doctor blade and attracts the powdered iron in the magnetic brush thereto due to a magnetic field created between the permanent magnet in the magnetic roller and the magnetic piece, thereby providing an iron powder curtain between the magnetic brush and the magnetic piece.  The curtain serves to prevent the developer mixture from flying of onto the photosensitive layer on the cylindrical drum and to permit the toner powder in the developer mixture to be effectively charged through a frictional contact with the curtain.
