Abstract:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tailor's chalk and case in a closed position; FIG. 2 is a front view of the tailor's chalk and case; FIG. 3 is a back view of the tailor's chalk and case; FIG. 4 is a right side view of the tailor's chalk and case; FIG. 5 is a left side view of the tailor's chalk and case; FIG. 6 is a top view of the tailor's chalk and case; FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the tailor's chalk and case; and, FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the tailor's chalk and case in an open position, wherein the front portion has been rotated around the base so that the chalk is supported in an accessible position. Oblique line shading indicates a transparent cover member of the case. The broken line shown in FIG. 8 depict a portion of the tailor's chalk that forms no part of the claimed design.
Abstract:
A combination measuring tape/chalk marker holder includes a main housing and a chalk retention pocket. The main housing has a main housing shell with a base and a back plate. The main housing is an equilateral triangular prismatic body with two outwardly curved lateral walls meeting at an apex. Within the housing, a locking reel holding a flexible measuring tape is releasably engaged with a locking hub formed on the back plate. The measuring tape extends through a portal formed in one of the outwardly curved lateral walls. The chalk retention pocket is fixed to and extends from the back plate. The pocket has a base parallel to and coextensive with the main housing base, two parallel lateral walls, and a flexible chalk retention member. The chalk retention pocket is flexible and removably retains a convex lensate marking body. A rotatable foot enables the holder to stand erect.
Abstract:
A case for tailor's chalk includes: (a) a generally triangular base with a central portion, a retaining pocket along one edge thereof, said pocket opening toward the center of said triangular base and a pair of offset base hinge elements adjacent the pocket located adjacent opposed ends of said pocket along said one edge of said base; and (b) a generally triangular lid shaped and adapted to mate with the base and hinged thereto by a pair of mating offset lid hinge elements located along one edge of said generally triangular lid, said lid hinge elements being snap-fit mateable with said base hinge elements, the offset between said generally triangular base and said generally triangular lid being sufficient to define a storage cavity for the chalk in a closed position, the lid having a central portion opposing the central portion of the base in said closed position, the lid being coupled to the base so as to be rotatable with respect thereto to an open position where the lid is rotated by 180° with respect to the closed position and the chalk is accessible and wherein further the lid is rotatable with respect to the base to a work stand position where the lid is rotated by more than 270° with respect to the closed position such that the base is in an erect open position leaning at least slightly rearwardly where the chalk is accessible to a user.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a processor includes: one or more cores to execute instructions; a first request register to store hardware performance state control information for a first core of the one or more cores obtained from an operating system; a second request register to store hardware performance state control override information, the hardware performance state control override information to be received from a management controller coupled to the processor; and a power controller coupled to the one or more cores to control a performance state of the first core based at least in part on the hardware performance state override information when at least one override indicator of the second request register is set. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A two piece crimping bead is provided. The crimping bead has a crimp bead and a crimping plunger. The crimp bead has a through bore with a first opening, a second opening, and a sidewall. The through bore is adapted to have beading cable passed therethrough. The crimping bead also has a crimping bore intersecting the through bore. The crimping plunger is disposed therein in interference fit with the crimping bore. When the crimping plunger is urged into the crimping bore, the crimping plunger retains the beading cable against the sidewall of the through bore.
Abstract:
An image based obstacle detection method. A camera mounted on a vehicle provides a set of image frames while the vehicle is in motion. The image frames define an image plane having a vertical aspect and a horizontal aspect. The relevancy of an object is determined by (i) selecting first and second feature points from the object that are spaced apart vertically in a first image frame; (ii) tracking the positions of the first and second feature points over at least a second image frame; and (iii) deciding the object to be relevant if the first and second feature points move dissimilar distances in physical space, within a tolerance, and deciding the object to be irrelevant otherwise. The motion of relevant objects is then estimated to determine if any relevant object is likely to become an obstacle to the vehicle.
Abstract:
A case for beading needles comprising a thermoplastic container is provided with a hinged lid. The case has a tray portion filled with penetrable needle retention medium into which needles may be inserted as desired and spaced widely. The tray portion comprises a thermoplastic housing section divided into two sections: a needle retention section and an open needle grasping section disposed above the needle retention section. The needle retention section has a width of at least about 1.25 inches. The housing section comprises a backing plate and has a transparent cover section removably hinged to the housing section. The cover section can be either pivoted rearwardly to form a stand, allowing the housing section to be maintained upright on a flat surface, or completely removed and reversed, allowing the upper portion of the backing plate to bear against a front wall of the cover.
Abstract:
A design system provides data structures to store parameters of physical structures that can be viewed and modified in a front-end process through a logical design interface. In this way, system behavior defined by component structure can be evaluated and modified through a schematic representation of the data, regardless of a state of data representing the physical layout of interconnected physical structures. In electric circuit applications, for example, high frequency circuits can be incrementally designed and evaluated through structural parameters defined in a schematic diagram data abstraction without modifying and evaluating a layout data abstraction of the circuit directly.
