摘要:
A key that includes a body with an optically transmissive or light permeable region and an optical film coupled to or carried by the light permeable region. The key also includes a resilient structure coupled to the body. The key can be assembled or coupled to, or disposed relative or adjacent to, a display screen. The key also includes a switch actuator (e.g., an electromechanical switch actuator or contact element). Displacement of the key, more specifically the body of the key, displaces the switch actuator for actuating a switch. The resilient structure is configured to bias the body at a first position. The body can be actuated or displaced from the first position to a second position for effectuating corresponding displacement of the switch actuator and actuation of the switch. The resilient structure provides or establishes a positive tactile feedback upon user-directed or user-controlled actuation or displacement of the body. The resilient structure and/or the switch actuator is positioned and configured to minimize, reduce, or eliminate obstruction of light transmission through the light permeable region of the body.

In one embodiment of the present invention, SHINGLE KNIFE™, comprises a pneumatically powered miniaturized reciprocating or circular saw designed especially for roofing applications. In an alternative embodiment, SHINGLE KNIFE™ may be powered by rechargeable battery packs or the like. SHINGLE KNIFE™ is roughly size and shape of a Prior Art razor knife, but may be powered and provided with a depth gauge to prevent cutting through roofing underlayment or the like. In another embodiment of the present invention, the SHINGLE KNIFE™ may be provided for cutting sheetrock. A reciprocating, sharpened hook shaped blade pulls though the sheetrock, making a clean cut with little or no powdery debris. The SHINGLE KNIFE for sheetrock may be air or battery powered.
摘要:
An information device including a display portion in which a display screen is positionable and a removable keyboard with a first set of function keys. The information device can selectively assign different functions to each of the function keys. The display screen includes a second set of function keys. The functions assigned to the second set of function keys correspond to the functions of the first set of function keys. Both sets of function keys correspond in size, shape or number to allow the user to determine which function key is desired from either location.

To reliably maintain an EMI grounding connection between a sheet metal computer chassis wall and a computer cover wall that may be removably placed against the outer side of the chassis wall, a lance structure is formed in the chassis wall, and opposing installation notches are formed in the chassis wall on opposite sides of the lance opening. Transversely enlarged end portions of an elongated arcuate sheet metal grounding strip are inserted inwardly through the wall notches and captively retained within the lance structure with a longitudinally intermediate portion of the arcuate strip body extending outwardly through the chassis wall lance opening. When the cover wall is operatively installed on the chassis wall the grounding strip is resiliently flattened and compressed between the lance strip and the installed cover wall to maintain an EMI grounding path between the contiguous chassis and cover walls.

A communication system provides communication services to a plurality of communication devices. The communication system includes a transmitting antenna, a transmitter, a first receiving antenna, a second receiving antenna, a second receiver, and a communication interface. The transmitter transmits first wireless signals via the transmitting antenna. The first receiving antenna has a first coverage area of less than forty five degrees. The first receiver receives second wireless signals via the first receiving antenna. The second receiving antenna has a second coverage area of less than forty five degrees, and the second coverage area of the second receiving antenna is within the first coverage area. The second receiver receives third wireless signals via the second receiving antenna. The communication interface provides the communication services between the communication network and the user communication devices.
摘要:
A gun cabinet has an opening door and an enclosure with a bottom wall having a slot. The enclosure contains a drawer which is supported on a caster wheel on an associated floor. The drawer is slidably attached to the enclosure so that the drawer can be pulled substantially out of the enclosure or rolled back into the enclosure with the caster wheel being received into the slot in the bottom wall of the enclosure.
摘要:
A mold and method for making a hollow core concrete block. The mold has two opposing side walls; a bottom wall; a front wall; a top side with an opening through which the block can be removed from the mold; a cover, and a rear side through which liquid, such as concrete, can be poured into the mold. Extending from the two side walls are a pair of trunnions about which the mold is rotatable, such that when the mold is suspended by the trunnions and the mold is empty, gravity rotates the mold from a block-removal orientation in which the top side faces upwards to a mold-filling orientation in which the rear side faces upwards. The trunnions are also positioned such that when the mold is filled with the liquid, gravity rotates the mold from the mold-filling orientation to the block-removal orientation.

A lightweight adjustable ladder and scaffold support is provided which may be marketed under the name GABLEMASTER™, a trademark of the inventor. A pair of rails are provided, spaced approximately 24 inches apart, the standard spacing of most roof joists. Connected to the rails through suitable holes and slots, are rods supporting an adjustable platform. One of the rods may be placed through a corresponding slot to achieve a suitable angle of adjustment corresponding to roof incline. The platform may be provided with a number of aluminum beams drilled with suitable holes, spaced apart and shaped so as to accept the leg of a standard extension ladder or siding jack. Bolts or pins may be passed through the holes to secure the ladder or jack to the platform. In addition, the platform may support a walking board, scaffold, or the like.
