    摘要: An electrical surge arrester is manufactured by securing a stack of metal oxide varistor blocks between end terminations by passing a rod through through-holes in the varistor blocks and securing the ends of the rod to the end terminations. The through-holes are larger than the rod cross section and a silicone rubber material is injected into the void which otherwise would exist between the rod and the interior surfaces of the through-holes in the varistor blocks. The silicone rubber material is also moulded around the exterior of the stacked varistor blocks and forms a shedded external housing for the arrester. The silicone rubber coatings on the varistor block internal and external surfaces effects a passivation function and means that the passivation coatings normally provided on the surfaces of varistor blocks by their manufacturers at significant cost can be omitted.

    摘要: An amusement park entertainment system that integrates an image of a patron into an audio and/or visual presentation. The patron enters a room (400) where the lighting, sound, and scenery can be controlled. A standardized input sequence is obtained by computer automated/assisted process where user images (video camera input (430), voice parameters (360), etc.) prompting the user to provide certain views and voiced statements. Alternatively, photo scan (440) or diskette/CD readers can accept user input image data. A one, two, or three dimensional image data representation of the user images is then generated, including the speech parameters of the patron. The image can later be manipulated to change the appearance of the image. This appearance change includes attire and adding tools relevant to the entertainment area used by the patron. The image can then be smoothly integrated into a preexisting audiovisual presentation, thus making the patron a synthetic actor in the production.

    摘要: A data processing system for implementing transaction management of auction-based trading for specialized items such as fixed income instruments. The data processing system provides a highly structured trading protocol implemented through a sequence of trading paradigms. Once properly formatted (130) on-line market data (115) is transmitted for determination for a real time command selection (140), then loaded into a security database (160). System proprietors in automated options and futures processing (170 and 180) obtain data for quantifying and evaluating positions pursuant to trading option and futures contracts on individual securities. The distribution for securities data to the data accumulators and vendors (190) is followed by continual distribution of securities data to traders within investment community (200), the support of automated trading (210) and finally declaring and reporting functions associated with such trading including clearance operators (220). The system employs a distributed computer processing network linking together a plurality of commonly programmed controlled workstations. The protocol and its programmed controlling logic enhances trading efficiency, rewards market makers and fairly distributes market opportunity to system users.

    摘要: A method of serving a roaming subscriber in a telecommunication system having at least one wireless service carrier that can communicate with the roaming subscriber. A wired exchange carrier can communicate with the wireless service carrier and has access to a long distance trunk. A call destined for the roaming subscriber is received at the wired exchange carrier via the long distance trunk, and includes both a routing number corresponding to the roaming address of the roaming subscriber and a call routing parameter corresponding to the wireless service carrier. The call is selectively sent to the wireless service carrier in response to the call routing parameter, and a communication channel between the wireless service carrier and the roaming subscriber is then established in response to the routing number. The identity of the wireless service carrier may be provided to a register, and the call routing parameter may be included at this register, or optionally at an intermediate carrier having a communication link with this register.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for testing the operation of a videophone (102) wherein a rotating body (109) having a visual pattern of contrasting visual shapes is placed within the visual field of the videophone (102). The videophone (102) is connected to a communication path (105, 106, 107) which in turn is connected to a display (101). A control device (108) varies at least one of the rotational speed of the rotating body (109) and the characteristics of the communication path (105, 106, 107), while an image of the rotating body (109) is observed on the display (101).

    摘要: Thermal controls for electric kettles and the like commonly have a bimetallic switch-operating element (108) juxtaposed in heat transfer relationship with the heating element (222) of the kettle, and a heat sink compound in grease or paste form is commonly introduced between the bimetallic element and the heating element. The heat sink compound is relatively costly and is messy and difficult to apply with precision in an automatic manufacturing process. To overcome these problems which have plagued the industry for many years, the present invention proposes to use a pad or patch of self-adhesive heat transfer tape (130) rather than the heat sink compound, such heat transfer tapes previously having been used only in the electronics industry for heat sinking of power transistors and the like.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a modified clevis assembly (2) for collapsible tents. The clevis assembly contains a conical pin entry guide (18) on an upper clevis member (2) to allow the tip of a pin (9) on a lower clevis member (3) into the recess (19a) of the upper clevis member (2). The conical pin entry guide (18) forms an integral part of the under surface of the upper clevis member (2) or the upper surface of the lower clevis member (3). The clevis assembly further includes means (25) on the upper surface of the upper clevis member (2) to receive a fly adaptor assembly (40). The fly adaptor receiving means (25) may be a centrally located hollow core (25) extending from the center of the upper surface of the upper clevis member (2) to the apex of the conical pin entry guide (18) or a pin socket or recess at the apex of the conical pin entry guide, or a centrally located fly adaptor receptacle in the upper surface of the upper clevis member (2). The fly adaptor assembly (40) comprises a single clevis member (41) with a plurality of arms (42). Centrally mounted on the underside of the fly adaptor assembly's clevis member is a means (45) to attach the fly adaptor (40) to the upper clevis member (2) of the collapsible tent's frame. The attachment means (45) of the fly adaptor (40) is designed to mate with the fly adaptor receiving means (25) of the upper clevis member (2) of the tent frame.

    摘要: A set or kit of readily assembled components for measuring bone stiffness as in the case of a fractured tibia in the course of healing repair. The components comprise a unit-handling elongate stiff bar (20) with an independent pivotally suspended footing element (17, 18) at each end of the bar, a goniometer (16) having means for movably securing its respective ends to the respective footing elements, a light-weight load cell (13), and a small computer package (22), adapted to continuously respond to the outputs of the load cell and of the goniometer and to display and/or record (i.e., store measured stiffness data). In a preferred embodiment, a level-responsive device, such as an air-bubble sight (36), is fixed to the bar to facilitate and to enhance the accuracy of bone-stiffness measurement, in that the level indicator can assure use for measurements wherein the pivot axis of each footing suspension is truly horizontally oriented.
