Abstract: A welding cable connector system having a male connector (48) and a female connector (50). The male connector includes a first conductive body for conveying welding power. The male connector also includes a first sealed passageway disposed coaxially of the first conductive body for conveying shielding gas, and a first Schrader valve (134) configured to stop flow of shielding gas when the male connector is not engaged. The female connector includes a second conductive body for conveying welding power. The female connector also includes a second sealed passageway disposed coaxially of the conductive body for conveying shielding gas, and a second Schrader valve (156) configured to stop flow of shielding gas when the female connector is not engaged. The male and female connectors are mutually engageable to conduct welding power and shielding gas therethrough.

Title: Systems and methods for implementing cross-fading, interstitials and other effects downstream
Inventor: LOWE RAYMOND
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2012-11-19
Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for cross-fading (or other multiple clip processing) of information streams on a user or client device, such as a telephone, tablet, computer or MP3 player, or any consumer device with audio playback. Multiple clip processing can be accomplished at a client end according to directions sent from a service provider that specify a combination of (i) the clips involved; (ii) the device on which the cross-fade or other processing is to occur and its parameters; and (iii) the service provider system. For example, a consumer device with only one decoder, can utilize that decoder (typically hardware) to decompress one or more elements that are involved in a cross-fade at faster than real time, thus pre-fetching the next element(s) to be played in the cross-fade at the end of the currently being played element. The next elements(s) can, for example, be stored in an input buffer, then decoded and stored in a decoded sample buffer, all prior to the required presentation time of the multiple element effect. At the requisite time, a client device component can access the respective samples of the decoded audio clips as it performs the cross-fade, mix or other effect. Such exemplary embodiments use a single decoder and thus do not require synchronized simultaneous decodes.

Abstract: A collapsible structure is described that can be erected to provide an elevated working platform having two ends and two sides. Two telescopically collapsible ladder frames (10, 12) are disposed above the level of the platform, one on each end of the platform. Each ladder frame (10, 12) is formed of two stiles (20, 22) having telescopically collapsible sections, rungs each extending between respective sections of the two stiles and latch mechanisms for locking the stile sections in the extended position of the ladder frame. Each of the ladder frames (10, 12) further incorporates a guardrail (30, 32) that lies parallel to the rungs (24) when the ladder frame is collapsed. The guardrail (30, 32) is mounted for rotation about a first stile and releasably secured to the second stile. After release from the second stile of the same ladder frame and rotation about the first stile each guardrail is connectable to the second stile of the other ladder frame to lie parallel to a side of the platform.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process producing useful energy from thermal energy. An overall population of mobile particles confined to a unidirectional flow closed circuit of conducting channels (1 - 2 - 3 - 3 ' - 4 - 1) is subjected to a conservative or effectively conservative force field. The circuit is thermally insulated with the exception of two non juxtaposed areas a first area (2-3) allowing thermal exchange for heating (Qin) from a warmer environment outside the circuit, a second area (4-1) allowing thermal exchange (Qout) for cooling, as necessary, by a colder environment outside the circuit. The closed circuit is provided with a load (3'-4;) designed to convert the energy it receives from the mobile particles flow to a useful output energy. In two portions of the unidirectional circuit located before (3-3') and after (1-2;) said load, flow velocity vector is parallel or has a component which is parallel to the conservative or effectively conservative force field one portion with a warm flow and the other portion with a cool flow of mobile particles and in that if the density of the chosen mobile particles decreases when the temperature increases, the direction of the conservative force field is the same as that of the cool flow velocity vector or of a cool flow velocity vector component in the said circuit portion and the inverse if the density of the chosen mobile particles increases when the temperature increases.
