Title: Feed system
Inventor: STEVENS SIMON BENJAMIN
IPC: F41B11/52
Filed: 1998-04-02
Abstract: Apparatus 2 for feeding of paint balls (42) to the breech (76) of a paint ball gun 72. Paint balls (42) are received in pockets 40 around the periphery of a carrier 20. Rotation of the carrier 20 moves the paint balls 42 into contact with a guide assembly 14. The guide assembly 14, which comprises a guide bar 26 and a squash plate 28, moves the paint balls 42 from the pockets 40 and into an outlet 8 of the apparatus 2. In a preferred embodiment, a guide disc 22 is mounted above the carrier 20, the guide disc 22 having a plurality of guide openings 50 which are aligned above the pockets 40. The gun may be prevented from firing if a microswitch (92) does not detect a correctly positioned paint ball in the breech (figure 19, not shown).

Title: Single handed keyboard with character ambiguity resolution logic
Inventor: SUGIMOTO MASAKATSU
IPC: G06F3/023
Filed: 1996-01-30
Abstract: The keyboard uses ambiguity resolution logic (Fig.8) to resolve the correct character for a sequence of keys with multiple characters assigned thereto chosen by a user. The user presses a key Ar to invoke the ambiguity resolution after a string of keys has been entered, such as for a complete word. This causes the resolution logic to generate from a dictionary a list of word choices corresponding to the possible spellings of words based on the key string entered. These choices are displayed to the user and if the displayed sequence of characters or word is not the desired one, the Ar key can be pushed again until the desired sequence or word appears. The system allows the user to enter a character string without having to simultaneously enter a thumb key to select the alternate character assigned to that multi character key.

Title: Interconnecting computers
Inventor: TIEN CHUNG-NAN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 1999-05-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a connection method for a TCP/IP network (for example, the internet), for providing a common dial-up user to get access to the TCP/IP network by driving another remote computer or facilities to link to the TCP/IP network, and in particular for providing the user access to data from a remote computer and to disconnect from said remote computer at the end of use. The dial-up connection may be direct or indirect. In a remote dial-up direct connection, the network connection control server (7) will start the dial-up procedure according to the connection information of user (1<SP>1</SP>) upon receipt of a command sent from the user (1<SP>1</SP>) via the remote node (6) to initiate the connection to the destination computer (2). After connecting to the destination computer (2), the network connection control server (7) will transmit the connection identification information to the destination computer (2). After the destination computer (2) verifies the connection identification information, the destination computer (2) may establish its TCP/IP network datalink based on an IP address, either sent by the network connection control server (7) or previously assigned to the destination computer (2). Once a safe connection is acknowledged, the network connection control server (7) sends the IP address to the user (1<SP>1</SP>), enabling the user (1<SP>1</SP>) to access the destination computer (2) by the IP address.

Title: Power supply for a deflection circuit operating at multi-scan frequencies
Inventor: FERNSLER RONALD EUGENE
IPC: G09G1/00
Filed: 1999-08-05
Abstract: The first power supply, a zero voltage switching mode power supply 100 generates a higher B+ supply voltage, for horizontal deflection circuit output 101, when the deflection circuit output stage operates at a rate greater that or equal to approximately 32KHz. The second supply, a series-pass regulator power supply 102 generates, at a common supply terminal B+, a lower voltage B+ supply voltage, when the deflection circuit output stage operates at a lower rate equal to approximately 16 KHz. With the two supplies the television apparatus has the capability of selectively displaying picture information obtained from a broadcast television signal and the a high resolution information contained in a display monitor data signal. During a start-up interval, the horizontal scanning output stage is supplied with the lower B+ supply voltage regardless of the scan frequency for reducing excessive stress in the horizontal output stage switching transistor to improve reliability.
Patent GB-2338851-A (GB)
Title: Television receiver
Inventor: OKADA HIROFUMI
IPC: H04N5/52
Filed: 1998-03-02
Abstract: A television receiver is provided with an input terminal (12), and an input signal of a predetermined electric field strength inputted from the input terminal is converted to a video intermediate-frequency signal and an audio intermediate-frequency signal by a tuner (14). The video intermediate-frequency signal is amplified by a video intermediate-frequency amplifying circuit (16), and on the basis of the frequency, a detection signal (Va) is outputted from a filter (26). A reference voltage (Vref) is outputted from an RF-AGC circuit (32), and an RFAGC circuit (30) generates a control voltage (Vb) in accordance with the difference between the detection signal and the reference voltage. The gain of the tuner is controlled by this control voltage. The reference voltage is changed by a microcomputer (36) in response to the control voltage. Therefore, the control voltage is adjusted to a desired voltage value.
