Title: Patch cord tracing module with graphics overlay
Inventor: ENSZ LYNDON D
IPC: H04Q1/14
Filed: 2000-02-09
Abstract: A tracing interface module for use in a patch cord tracing system, wherein the patch cord tracing system traces patch cords in a telecommunications patching system. The tracing interface module attaches to the face of the patch panels in a telecommunications closet. The tracing interface modules provide a means of detecting when patch cords have been removed from, or added to, the connector ports on the patch panels. The tracing interface module has three primary components. The first component is a support plate that attaches to the patch panel. The second component is a printed circuit board that is supported by the support plate. The support plate is manufactured with voids that correspond in position to surface mounted components on the printed circuit board. Consequently, the components on the printed circuit board pass into the support plate, thereby creating a highly space efficient assembly. The third major component of the tracing interface module is a graphics overlay that protects the printed circuit board and helps identify the visual manifestations of the various functions performed by the printed circuit board.

Title: Blade assembly
Inventor: SEIDEL DAVID PAUL
IPC: A01D34/73
Filed: 2001-11-07
Abstract: A blade assembly to be attached to a rotatably driven disc 10 of a lawn mower. The assembly includes a blade member 13 pivotally mounted on the disc 10 by means of a mounting 11 The mounting 14 permits angular displacement of the blade member 13 about an axis extending generally radially with respect to the rotational axis of the disc 10.

Title: Apparatus and method for manufacture of multilayer metal products
Inventor: RAGLAND G WILLIAM
IPC: B32B15/14
Filed: 2001-01-23
Abstract: Apparatus and method for manufacturing multi-layer metal feedstock material for stamping shaped parts eliminates the need for rolls of metal at the stamping site. Multilayer metal feedstock material is assembled from multiple rolls of metal stock, then folded in a zig zag fashion, whereby the multilayer metal assembly is stacked vertically. At the location of making shaped parts from the feedstock material, the layers of the z-fold feedstock material may be separated and one or more of the layers treated, textured, embossed, etc., then reassembled into the stack which is fed to the stamping operation, all on a continuous basis. This enables the z-fold feedstock material to be made from smooth metal layers, which increases the density of the material and reduces the volume space required for storage of the z-fold material.

Filed: 2002-11-13
Abstract: The status of a data processing circuit, which is to be saved by saving controller, is read the values of the circuit's nodes written as multi-bit words which are transferred to the memory via a system bus. The status is saved such that the circuit can be restored to the status before the event that triggered the controller to save the status. The circuit could be a core processor. The nodes could be coupled to scan chain cells and the controller reads the value of the scan chain cells and serially saves the data as multi-bit words. The scan chain cells could be in chains operating in parallel to provide the bits that from together into the multi-bit words. Also the system could be used as part of a circuit test procedure. Also the data could be saved in a user specified region of the memory. Also the state saving trigger could be the execution of a state saving program, which could be part of a diagnostic test on the circuit.
