Title: Screw cover and method
Inventor: AKERS PAUL
IPC: F16B19/00
Filed: 1998-07-17
Granted: 2006-01-17
Abstract: A method of covering the head of a screw (24) which has been inserted into a wood structure (14), such as a cabinet, a bookshelf, etc. There is a planar circular cover member (34, 50) made of a moderately flexible plasctic and having an adhesive surface (58). The diameter of the cover member is moderately greater than the diameter of the screw head and the opening in which the screw head is placed. The cover member (34, 50) is placed by positioning a first side portion of the cover adjacent to the opening, and then deflecting the cover member downwardly in a curved position above the srew head opening, keeping the cover properly positioned. Then the person's thumb which grasps an end of the cover member is moved to release the cover member which then snaps into position to cover the opening and become bonded to the surface (42) of the wood structure.

Abstract: A reduced keyboard disambiguating system. The keyboard has twelve to sixteen keys, nine of them labeled with numerous letters and other symbols, and those nine plus one more are associated each with one of the ten digits. Textual entry keystrokes are ambiguous. The user strikes a delimiting "Select" key, or a key with an unambiguous character interpretation, at the end of each word, delimiting a keystroke sequence that could match any of a plurality of words associated with the same keystroke sequence. Each input keystroke sequence is processed with a complete vocabulary, and words which match the sequence of keystrokes are presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use.  The vocabulary is stored in a special format that support significant data compression without requiring additional processing. In addition, stems of longer words whose initial letters match the sequence of keystrokes are also presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. If the frequency of the words associated with a stem is high enough, that stem is displayed as the default word object. Activations of an ambiguous key associated with a plurality of punctuation characters are disambiguated from the context of the surrounding keystrokes.

Abstract: A system for acquiring map information reliably even when a vehicle is running in a blind area where the map information is not acquirable in real time, assisting the vehicle to keep running smoothly. In this system, necessary map information can be acquired from an external information center upon request via a communication device. Specifying data of a blind area in which the map information is not acquirable in real time is previously stored in a memory. Based on the specifying data stored in the memory and a current position of the vehicle detected as by GPS, a processor acquires the map information of the blind area from the information center upon request when the vehicle approaches the blind area. The acquired map information is stored in the memory and is read out for use in navigation.

Granted: 2008-07-22
Abstract: An apparatus for picking, conveying, stacking and bundling lumber pieces from the ground for example for removing stacked support lumber during laying of a pipe line comprises a tracked vehicle to which is attached a frame carrying a transport conveyer along the side of the vehicle forwardly and downwardly toward the ground. At the forward picking end is provided a picker roller for lifting the lumber pieces from the ground. On one side of the picker roller is provided a drive conveyer which is generally vertical and operable in forward and reverse direction to orient the pieces. On the side opposite to the drive conveyers provided a vertical blade with a rearwardly inclined inner portion which blade can pivot inwardly to push the lumber pieces toward the drive conveyer and to enclose and squeeze the pieces to a position inward of the side of the conveyer. Behind the vehicle is mounted a stacking section which arranges the pieces in a row and then stacks part of the row on top of another part to form the stack. The stack passes through a frame which clamps the pieces together to squeeze the stack and also to wrap the stack with a strapping carried into place by a chain.

Abstract: Material utilization and process stability for rotating cylindrical magnetro n target (14) used in a sputtering structure or "race track" (12), allowing the power density on the target surface (14) to be reduced by approximately 50 % for any given point where magnetic confinement of the plasma exists. Offsetting one race track (12) relative to the other (10) along the longitudinal axis of the target (14) reduces the power density at each turn-around area (relative to the longitudinal area). Modestly increasing the target material thickness at the ends of the target allows nearly all of the material between the turn- around areas to be sputtered.

Abstract: A multi-ply tissue includes a first cellulosic embossed ply having an emboss pattern applied over a portion of its surface and a second cellulosic embossed ply of tissue. The first ply is contact laminated to the second ply so that the primary adhesion between the plies of tissue is the result of contact between cellulosic fibers. The first and second plies contact one another in contact areas, with the contact areas between the first and second plies defining compliant voids. The contact areas between the first ply and the second ply are elongated and/or rounded contact areas. A method of forming a multi-ply tissue involves conveying a base sheet through a nip between an impression roll and a pattern roll to produce an embossed base sheet having a back side possessing projections, applying adhesive to the back side of the embossed base sheet at spaced apart locations, and applying a flat backing sheet to the back side of the embossed base sheet so that the backing sheet adheres to the back side of the embossed base sheet at said spaced apart locations. A method of producing an embossed tissue involves successively conveying a base sheet through a nip between a first impression roll and a pattern roll, and conveying the base sheet through another nip between the pattern roll and a second impression roll, wherein the second impression roll is made of rubber having a lower hardness than the rubber from which the first impression roll is made.

Abstract: A fiber grating pressure sensor includes an optical sensing element 20,600 which includes an optical fiber 10 having a Bragg grating 12 impressed therein which is encased within and fused to at least a portion of a glass capillary tube 20 and/or a large diameter waveguide grating 600 having a core and a wide cladding and which has an outer transverse dimension of at least 0.3 mm. Light 14 is incident on the grating 12 and light 16 is reflected from the grating 12 at a reflection wavelength.lambda.1. The sensing element 20,600 may be used by itself as a sensor or located within a housing 48,60,90,270,300. When external pressure P increases, the grating 12 is compressed and the reflection wavelength .lambda.1 changes. The shape of the sensing element 20,600 may have other geometries, e.g., a"dogbone" shape, so as to enhance the sensitivity of shift in .lambda.1 due to applied external pressure and may be fused to an outer shell 50. At least a portion of the sensing element may be doped between a pair of gratings 150,152, to form a compression-tuned laser or the grating 12 or gratings 150,152 may be constructed as a tunable DFB laser. Also, the axial ends of element 20,600 where the fiber 10 exits the tube 20 may have an inner tapered region 22 and/or a protruding tapered (or fluted) axial section 27 to provide strain relief or improved pull strength for the fiber 10. A temperature grating 270 may be used to measure temperature and allow for a temperature-corrected pressure measurement. The sensor may be suspended within an outer housing 112, by a fluid, spacers, or other means. The invention may also be used as a force transducer.

Abstract: A plurality of radio frequency passive transponders are attached to an animal's organ, such as the heart. Each passive transponder may be attached to the surface of the organ or mounted on a stent that is implanted in a blood vessel of the organ. An interrogator periodically sends an signal to each passive transponder which reacts by transmitting a reply signal. The interrogator processes the reply signals to derive information regarding activity of the organ. In one embodiment, the position of each passive transponder is determined from the reply signals, thereby enabling information about organ movement and volume change to be derived. In another embodiment, data from a sensor on the passive transponder is sent via the reply signal.
