摘要:
A specialized nozzle assembly that dispenses spray patterns of varying textures, e.g., coarse or fine particles; for use in an aerosol system for applying a spray texture material to a wall or like supporting structure. The nozzle assembly includes an elongated passageway and a generally cone-shaped member attached thereon.

An interactive television system and method for generating video programming combined with triggers and then, in turn, for viewing that video programming as the triggers present information associated with the triggers. When triggered by the viewer, the remote control will generate a request using a user interface coupled to at least one of the set top box or the television, the request being based on a user selection of the presented information associated with the triggers; that request will retrieve information at the request processing system based on the generated request; and present the retrieved information that is based on the request at a user computer system coupled to the request processing system.

A leak detector sleeve allows performing leak detection at a flanged joint. The leak detector sleeve is made of elastomeric material that allows achieving a gas-tight seal when the leak detector sleeve encircles a flanged joint. The leak detector sleeve includes a hole that communicates with a gap in the flanged joint, thereby allowing the tip of a sniffer probe to be placed in or near the hole to detect whether the flanged joint is leaking. The leak detector sleeve is made of material that will withstand the operating temperature of the flanged joint without becoming hardened or brittle. A method for detecting a leak using the leak detector sleeve allows for efficiently and conveniently detecting leaks. In addition, the sleeve may be easily used and reused without the adverse effects or intensive manual labor required in the prior art.

Provided is a method for the standardization of information management among different information sources and different information formats. With respect to information sources that employ different information storage formats, an organizational proxy, or “shadow,” of the organization structure of the first information source is created in the second information source and a shadow of the second information source is created in the first information source. Information stored in conjunction with the first information source is copied into the shadow within the second information source. The information in the first source is then either maintained or a link to corresponding information in the second information source is created within the first information source and the first information is deleted. The claimed subject matter provides a graphical user interface (GUI) so that a user can copy information from one information source to another by executing a “drag & drop” action.

The subject invention provides a work support apparatus (20) including a spring pin assembly (32) for biasing a work piece (22) against a work stop (24), which includes a table (26) having a recess (30) with the spring pin assembly (32) disposed therein. The spring pin assembly (32) includes a housing having a side wall (48) and a top wall (50) having a circular opening (52) therethrough and a domed inner surface (54) extending upwardly from the side wall (48). A retaining pin (40) having a flat bottom surface (56) and a semi-spherical bottom portion (58) is urged against the domed inner surface (54) by a compression spring (42). A spring cup (44) transmits forces between the compression spring (42) and the flat bottom surface (56) of the retaining pin (40). A tool receiving device receives a tool for operating a holding mechanism (34) for securing the spring pin assembly (32) in the recess (30) such that the spring pin assembly (32) is removable from the top surface (28) of the table (26).
摘要:
A pressurized gas or liquid mixture of particulates, or an aggregate of particulates, to be delivered in an aerosol spray through a self-contained container to remove paint, stains and the like from various surfaces, such as wood or metal. The aerosol aggregate mixture can additionally include paint removers or cleaners and is sprayed directly on objects or surfaces to abrasively remove paint or stains in an uniform manner without destroying any fine details.
摘要:
A training aid for developing a golfer's swing which comprises a swing assembly having reference markings disposed thereon which define a desired swing path for a golf club relative to the reference markings. The training aid further comprises a light source which continually casts at least a portion of a golfer's shadow and a shadow of the golf club onto the swing assembly in general relation to the markings allowing the golfer to readily visualize and compare his/her swing path with an "ideal" swing path during a golfer's swing. The invention also includes a method of training a golfer's swing, comprising the steps of: 1) providing a swing assembly having reference markings disposed thereon which define a desired swing path for the golf club relative to the markings; 2) positioning a golfer with the golf club proximate the swing assembly; and 3) projecting a light from a light source at the golfer and the golf club both prior to and during a golfer's swing such that at least a portion of the golfer's shadow and the shadow of the golf club are cast onto the swing assembly in general relation to the markings.

Cyanoacrylate adhesive compositions which employ calixarene compounds as accelerators give substantially reduced fixture and cure times on de-activating substrates such as wood. The calixarene compounds are preferably employed at levels of about 0.1-1% by weight of the composition.The calixarene compounds particularly useful in this invention may be represented by the formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is alkyl, alkoxy, substituted alkyl or substituted alkoxy; R.sup.2 is H or alkyl; and n=4, 6, or 8.
