Abstract: A standby power apparatus includes a standby power supply and a plurality of load circuits. There is a plurality of service power conductors, one for each load circuit. A standby power panel has a plurality of normal power panel terminals, each connected to one service power conductor. There is a plurality of panel load terminals, each connected to one load circuit. A standby power panel terminal is connected to the standby power supply. There is a plurality of switches, one for each load circuit. Each switch has a first terminal connected to one load terminal, a second terminal connected to one normal power panel terminal and a third terminal connected to the standby power panel.

Title: Table of contents indexing system
Inventor: GABBE JOHN DANIEL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1994-11-08
Granted: 1999-03-02
Abstract: The present invention is a method of operating a data processor, or plurality of data processors, to index data for one or more users involving the steps of receiving primary data,  delineating episode data from the primary data, generating media representations to correspond with the episode data, generating a table of contents from the episode data and media representations in real time, and storing  and/or presenting  the  table  of  contents  on  a graphical user interface.  Primary data may constitute audio data, video data, text data, combinations of these as well as any medium-generated data which may be in or converted to digital form.   Episode data is generated on the basis of significant video images determined by scene changes and other information.  In addition, episode data may be based on a significant audio change, delineated from the primary data, e.g. based on speaker changes and other information. Media   representations   are   iconic   images,   symbolic representations or graphical images which refer to episode data to ultimately aid the user in making decisions from reviewing the real time table of contents.

Abstract: A frequency modulation signal demodulator receives an intermediate frequency signal to demodulate a FM signal. The frequency modulation signal demodulator includes a voltage-controlled oscillator having variable capacitance diodes, The voltage-controlled oscillator varies the oscillating frequency of a signal by controlling a voltage across the variable capacitance diodes using a DC voltage. Also included is a phase comparator which produces a phase difference by comparing the phase of the intermediate frequency signal to the phase of the signal from the voltage-controlled oscillator and provides a direct current voltage signal corresponding to the phase difference. Also included is a differential amplifier which has an adjustable reference voltage source. The differential amplifier amplifies the direct current voltage signal to produce a demodulated signal. The demodulated signal is negatively fedback to the voltage-controlled oscillator as the direct current signal.

Abstract: A new method of refilling ink, into an empty ink-jet printer cartridge is intended to minimize leakage and waste during the refilling process. A fill hole of the printer cartridge is opened and a predetermined quantity of ink is introduced therethrough with, for example, a first syringe. Air is then introduced into inflatable bladders provided in the printer cartridge with a second tool, preferably a second syringe. The amount of air is carefully measured to correspond with the predetermined ink quantity so that no overflow occurs. The fill hole remains open to atmosphere during the air introduction step. While the syringe is still in place, the fill opening is then closed with a new plug and thereafter the second syringe removed from the equalize opening. This exerts a slight negative pressure which acts to provide a suction force and urge any ink in open ports inwardly into the housing, thus minimizing overall leakage and waste during the refill process.

Abstract: A system for indicating low tire pressure in vehicles, in which each vehicle wheel has a transmitter (100) with a unique code. A central receiver (200) in the vehicle is taught, at manufacture, to recognize the codes for the respective transmitters (100) for the vehicle, and also a common transmitter code, in the event one of the transmitters (102) needs to be replaced. During vehicle operation and maintenance, when the tires are rotated, the system can be recalibrated to to relearn the locations of the transmitters. The transmitters (100) employ surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices (110). An application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) encoder (130) in each transmitter (100) is programmed at manufacture, in accordance with its unique code, to send its information at different intervals, to avoid clash between two or more transmitters (100) on the vehicle. The transmitters (100) are powered by long-life batteries.

Abstract: A method of gas fluxing molten aluminum with at least two, relatively small diameter upper and lower rotatable dispersers located in the molten aluminum and mounted on a shaft. Fluxing gas is added to the molten aluminum beneath each of the rotatable dispersers at a substantial rate of gas flow while rotating the dispersers at a substantial rpm in the molten aluminum. The dispersers directly shear gas bubbles that form in the molten aluminum as the fluxing gas is directed into the molten aluminum beneath each of the dispersers. The direct shearing of the gas bubbles maintains a high surface area between the bubbles and molten aluminum to effect efficient removal of impurities in the molten aluminum.

Filed: 1994-05-03
Granted: 2003-04-08
Abstract: Contaminated material such as soil or sludge is remediated by injecting a suitable remediation fluid into the material during excavation of the contaminated material with a trenching tool. The remediation fluid is injected into the contaminated material through an injection means, preferably a plurality of injection nozzles positioned along the length of the trenching tool. The thus treated material is backfilled or deposited directly into the trench excavated by trenching tool thereby obviating the need for off-site disposal. The constituent remediation agents in the remediation fluid may be adjusted to adapt to varying site conditions and contaminants.   The remediation fluid may also be heated to accomplish volatile stripping of the contaminated material or to activate microbial agents in a low temperature environment.

Title: Video coder providing implicit coefficient prediction and scan adaptation for image coding and intra coding of video
Inventor: HASKELL BARIN GEOFFRY
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 1997-09-17
Granted: 2002-01-15
Abstract: A predictive video coder performs gradient prediction based on previous blocks of image data. For a new block of image data, the prediction determines a horizontal gradient and a vertical gradient from a block diagonally above the new block (vertically above a previous horizontally adjacent block). Based on these gradients, the encoder predicts image information based on image information of either the horizontally adjacent block or a block vertically adjacent to the new block.      The encoder determines a residual that is transmitted in an output bitstream. The decoder performs the identical gradient prediction and predicts image information without need for overhead information. The decoder computes the actual information based on the predicted information and the residual from the bitstream.
