Title: File folder and method
Inventor: MACWILLIAMS STEVE C
IPC: B42F21/02
Filed: 1996-04-04
Abstract: An  improved  file   folder  specially  adapted  to conventional printers and optical scanners and a system and method for printing and using the improved folder.   The improved folder has an enclosure for holding documents and printable panels  with an integrated tab and  integrated document labels.   The folder panels,  integrated tab and labels are printed with machine-readable identifying indicia and text in one pass through a standard printer.  The tab is foldable such that folder identifying indicia and text are visible from either the front or back side of the folder. After printing,  the documents  labels are  removable  and affixable to the folder documents.   Images of the folder documents are captured with a standard optical scanner which also reads the document identifying indicia printed on the labels.    The  document  images  form  a  database  indexed according to the indicia printed on the document labels.  The folder is printed with indicia designating it as a document separator and the folder is scanned along with the folder documents.
Patent CA-2173925-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PATE RAY H
IPC: C25C3/12
Filed: 1996-04-11
Abstract: An anode bar is disclosed particularly for utilization during the production of molten metal by the Hall-Héroult process in which an elongated copper rod is slit partially along its length and bent to define a generally inverted ? -shaped member defined by a base end portion, a bridging arm and a pair of generally parallel legs. Each leg is received in a sleeve and inserted into a ring with a polygonal opening in the ring matching a polygonal exterior surface of the associated leg. A weld intimately welds each metal ring to each leg end and covers the latter. By this construction there is an absence of current arcing, consumption of an associated carbon anode or anode block is reduced, as is the consumption of the ring, sleeve and legs, but upon partial consumption of any of the latter restoration is achieved in an efficient and low cost manner.

Title: Wet vacuum accessory for a vacuum cleaner
Inventor: EISEN MARK B
IPC: A47L7/00
Filed: 1996-04-24
Abstract: The invention provides a wet vacuum accessory for a domestic vacuum cleaner that separates liquid droplets from the suction airstream before the airstream is drawn into the vacuum cleaner intake hose. A suction intake passage is formed between a pair of baffles, which discharges the airstream into a reservoir that is isolated from the airflow outlet of the accessory body by the baffles. The reservoir is provided with a relatively large cross sectional area, which reduces the suction airstream velocity sufficiently to allow liquid entrained in the airstream to fall into the reservoir before the airstream is drawn out of the accessory into the vacuumcleaner intake hose. In the preferred embodiment a hollow handle of the accessory is provided for connection to the vacuum cleaner intake hose.

Abstract: A missile (50) is tested by first stimulating the performance of missile (50) built-in tests that are stimulated in service by signals from the launch site, and which tests do not require internal access to the missile (50). If performance is satisfactory, no further testing is required. If a condition of unsatisfactory missile (50) performance is detected, an access cover (63) is removed, connections are made to internal sources of data, and the built-in tests are repeated in order to determine which internal components caused the unsatisfactory missile (50) performance. The component is repaired. The testing with the access cover (63) removed is repeated, and, if the performance is satisfactory, the access cover (63) is replaced and the testing with the access cover (63) present is repeated.

Title: Interface circuit and method for transmitting binary logic signals with reduced power dissipation
Inventor: TOMITA TAKASHI
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 1997-03-13
Abstract: An interface circuit transmits a binary logic signal by transmitting a pulse at a first potential at each falling transition of the binary logic signal, and a pulse at a second potential at each rising transition of the binary logic signal.  At other times, the output terminal of the driver circuit is placed in the high-impedance state.  The receiver circuit outputs a first logic level upon receiving a pulse at the first potential, and outputs a second logic level upon receiving a pulse at the second potential. Output of these logic levels is maintained until the next pulse is received.  The transmission line is preferably terminated at a potential intermediate between the first and second potentials.
