摘要： A method and system for monitoring a signal from a function to record a set of values for each signal monitored; determining for each signal monitored the relative value of the signal being monitored over time; identifying each signal exhibiting a relative value representing a change in a pre-identified direction and each signal exhibiting a relative value not representing a change in the pre-identified direction, wherein each signal is aligned in the same direction relative to the pre-identified direction; dynamically weighting at least one signal monitored; displaying the monitored signals as an aggregate including enhancement of each signal exhibiting a change in the pre-identified direction; and causing a desired change in at least one monitored function based upon feedback of the displayed aggregate signals.

摘要： A customizable logging and content management system for indexing multimedia, including a synchronized timer object that provides a time reference upon request in connection with the media, and a logger object that logs predefined events that occur in the media by associating the events with respective time references from the timer object. A video server is provided that captures and digitally stores events logged by the logging application as media segments, and a search and retrieval engine is provided that enables the media segments to be located, retrieved and viewed based on the indexes. The system includes a graphical user interface generator that enables customized user interfaces and logging databases to be created from database tables for use in the logging application.

摘要： The apparatus is a handle-style loading control panel for a bale wagon. The loading control panel is in a near vertical plane, supported adjacent to and above a conventional planar control panel, and ergonomically structured to permit the operator to rest a hand on the loading control panel and operate the loading control panel's controls with the thumb. The location of the loading control panel is adjustable but held stationary during use.

摘要： The improved carpet cleaning machine, intended for use with "dry" carpet cleaning systems using dampened granules or particles, can be used in either of two modes. One involves carpet "brushing" for dirt removal by urging particles into the carpet and along the fibers. The other involves later vacuuming for particle removal. To facilitate the latter, one embodiment of the machine has first and second particle-removing media such as a concentrically-mounted cyclone separator and conical screen filter, respectively. The separator has air flowing through it downwardly along a vortical path and then upward, such air flow often carrying along a few particles. Such high-velocity particles impinge on the outer surface of the screen filter and many particles adhering to such filter are dislodged. The filter is said to thereby be "purged" or cleaned. There may also be a third medium and even a fourth medium to remove very fine particles before the air is expelled back into the room. Other embodiments use an automotive, resilient foam or flat-element filter medium in place of or in addition to the conical screen filter.

摘要翻译： 改进的地毯清洁机，适用于使用湿润颗粒或颗粒的“干”地毯清洁系统，可用于两种模式之一。 一个涉及通过将颗粒推入地毯和沿着纤维来“清洁”去除污物。 另一个涉及随后的抽真空除尘。 为了促进后者，机器的一个实施例分别具有第一和第二颗粒除去介质，例如同心安装的旋风分离器和锥形筛过滤器。 分离器具有沿着涡旋路径向下流动的空气，然后向上流动，这种空气流通常携带着几个颗粒。 这种高速颗粒撞击筛网过滤器的外表面，并且附着在这种过滤器上的许多颗粒被移除。 据说过滤器被“清洗”或清洁。 在空气被排出回到房间之前，也可以有第三介质和甚至第四介质去除非常细的颗粒。 其它实施例使用汽车，弹性泡沫或平面元件过滤介质来代替锥形滤网。
