Title: Gamma wet extractor system
Inventor: KARR RICHARD
IPC: A47L11/34
Filed: 1996-08-19
Abstract: An upright wet extractor includes a base assembly, a manipulative handle pivotally attached to the base assembly, and a motor driven agitator brush.  A cleaning solution dispensing tank is removably attached to the handle assembly by a pivotable latch member.   In a floor cleaning mode, cleaning solution is selectively supplied by gravity from the dispensing tank to a floor cleaning spray nozzle through a supply tube which is controlled by a pinch valve.   In an attachment hose cleaning mode, cleaning solution is selectively supplied by a motor driven pump from the dispensing tank to an attachment hose spray nozzle which is controlled by a trigger valve. A suction motor/fan assembly is carried by the base assembly which is selectively in fluid communication with a floor suction nozzle in the floor cleaning mode and an attachment hose suction nozzle when in the attachment hose cleaning mode.  Conversion between the floor cleaning mode and the attachment hose cleaning mode is conveniently carried out by manual operation of a knob of multi-functional valve/switch assembly.  The valve switch assembly includes a valve member which diverts the flow of working air and  a micro-switch which appropriately activates and deactivates the agitator brush motor and the pump motor.  A recovery tank assembly which both separates liquid from air and stores the recovered liquid is removably secured within the base assembly below the suction pump and can be removed through the rear end of the base assembly.  The suction motor/fan assembly includes a cooling fan which draws cooling air over both the pump motor and the motor of the suction motor/fan assembly.

Title: Method and apparatus for transforming coordinate systems in an automated video monitor alignment system
Inventor: WEBB JAMES R
IPC: H04N17/04
Filed: 1995-06-13
Abstract: A system (10) for transforming coordinate systems in an automated video monitor alignment system includes a camera (20) and computer (22) to capture an image of the display bezel (16) surrounding the cathode ray tube and of the image displayed on the CRT (12). Three dimensional models of the CRT tube and display bezel are used to compute and compensate for camera perspective.  Camera pixel data can then be transformed to "flat plane" coordinates. When the relative orientation of the camera (20) and CRT (12) are corrected for, the effects of parallax can be eliminated, allowing more accurate inspection, measurement, and lower cost fixturing on the production line. Thus, an accurate coordinate transformation from a camera-referenced coordinate system to a monitor-referenced coordinate system is made.

Title: Two-piece electric motor shaft
Inventor: LEITH DONALD G
IPC: H02K7/075
Filed: 1997-04-16
Abstract: A two-part electric motor shaft assembly. The assembly includes an elongated shank member which has a cavity hollowed out at one end. A cam pin has one end configured to be received in the shank cavity and secured thereto. The other end of the cam pin forms a cam surface which is eccentric with respect to a longitudinal axis defined by the elongated shank member. By utilizing a two-piece design, the shank member may be formed of a softer and less expensive material than the alloy steel used to form the cam pin since the shank member is subjected to less loading and wear. The two-part motor shaft assembly of the present invention eliminates the stress riser that occurs with application of loading to the transition joint of a single piece design.

IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: For interactive services, for example video-on-demand, a return channel must be made available to each subscriber. The video and audio signals of an interactive service are transmitted by a server (SERVER) through a cable television network (CATV) or a satellite link to the set-top-boxes (STB) of the subscribers. The return channel is part of an integrated services digital network (ISDN). The set-top-box (STB) of each subscriber has an S0 interface (S0) through which it accesses the ISDN network (ISDN). The service request signals are transmitted by the set-top-box (STB) to the server (SERVER) in a signalling channel of the ISDN network by a packet-transmission process. The set-top-box (STB) can also receive control signals from the ISDN network.  Moreover, multiplexing of several signalling channels is provided in a central exchange.

Abstract: Various materials have been used as rope in skipping or jump ropes; the skippingrope in this invention uses a metallic cable and in this document I refer to it as a skipping cable. Many people will find it easier to skip with as it does not tend to collapse in-flight as lighter and more flexible ropes. Skipping with a heavier cable also gives you a more demanding upper body workout while still providing the lower body and cardiovascular benefits common to this exercise. Although it can be used on numerous indoor surfaces the skipping cable is specially suited for extensive outdoor skip jogging; that is, skipping rope while simultaneously jogging. Lighter ropes are more likely to get blown off course on windy days and many of them quickly wear out on the more abrasive surfaces found outdoors on roads, parking lots and sidewalks. The skipping cable has user replaceable plastic protection tubes which protect the cable making it suitable for prolonged outdoor skipping. You can even skip jog with it on short cut grass and other more rugged outdoor terrain.
