Title:

Wind instrument finger exercise device

Publication Date:

05/04/2006

Document Type and Number:

United States Patent 20060090630

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A wind instrument manifesting a trumpet and a French horn, for example, is for exercising the fingers includes key plungers arranged on a top wall of a housing with the plungers supported by a movable plate in the housing chamber. Springs are associated with each plunger for providing a resilient load on each plunger manifesting the load on valve operating key plungers of a corresponding wind instrument. A mechanism displaces the plate to place a load on the plungers representing a horn or a trumpet or other instruments. A thumb wheel is provided on a screw in a mechanical mechanism to displace the plate. A reversible DC motor is coupled to a screw in an electrically activated mode to displace the plate in opposite directions by reversing the polarity of a current applied to the motor. Two switches reverse the current polarity. Three plungers are associated with the housing top wall and a fourth plunger manifesting a French horn is associated with a housing end wall for exercising the thumb. A rear wall is curved and the front wall is planar to manifest either a trumpet or a horn depending upon orientation of the device in the user's hand.

 

United States Patent 6425676

Illuminated exterior railing systems

US Patent Issued on 07/30/2002

Abstract:

An outdoor railing system includes a substantially waterproof illumination device mounted in a railing system for illuminating the railing. The illumination device could comprise a plurality of low voltage light bulbs which are spaced at intervals inside a substantially waterproof sheath. Railing systems embodying the invention could utilize pickets, or a plate of transparent material. If a plate of transparent material is used, designs can be etched into the plate, and light from an illumination device could scatter from the etching to provide an illuminated pattern.

 

 

Title:

Illuminated security gate with optional audible alarm

Document Type and Number:

United States Patent 6691467

Link to this page:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6691467.html

 

Abstract:

An illuminated safety or security gate having an optional audible alarm device. The gate includes an electrically operated light adapted to illuminate the gate directly, to project a visible signal away from the gate, or both. The gate includes an electrical system having a power source to supply power, controls, and conductors connecting the light, power source, and controls. Optionally, the controls include a programmable timer, a light-sensitive (photo-electric) controller or a motion sensor to control operation of the light, and a manual switch which controls intensity of the light. Additionally, the motion sensor controls both the light and the audible alarm. The various controls may be combined if desired. A remote controller is optionally provided.

 

Title:

Under vehicle inspection system

Document Type and Number:

United States Patent 6997594

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6997594.html

 

Abstract:

A portable vehicle inspection system including a series of mats into which two lengths of flexible, polymeric side light transmitting optical fiber extend along channels placed near the edges of the mats, and at a distance to be within the tracks of wheels of a vehicle passing thereover, with the polymeric fiber optic including notches and a reflector directed to provide a steady, uniform flood of light up to the underside of a vehicle to be inspected, and between the inspection zone, and the light source, the polymeric optical fiber is covered by an opaque jacket to prevent light from radiating outward.

 

 

Title:

Illuminated security barrier for passageways

Document Type and Number:

United States Patent 6079157

Link to this page:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6079157.html

 

Abstract:

An illuminated safety or security barrier is shown for preventing children and pets from gaining unauthorized access through passageways. The barrier may optionally be a gate allowing authorized passage. The barrier includes an electrically operated light disposed to illuminate the barrier directly, to project a visible signal away from the barrier, or both. The barrier includes an electrical system having a battery or plug and cord to supply power, controls, and conductors connecting the light, power source, and controls. Optionally, the controls include a programmable timer or a photocell or a motion sensor to inhibit operation of the light, and a manual switch which controls intensity of the light. The various controls may be combined if desired. Optionally, a remote controller is provided.

 

 

 

Title:

Electrical waveform analysis

Document Type and Number:

United States Patent 4130835

Link to this page:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4130835.html

 

Abstract:

A circuit for detecting changes in the amplitude of a video signal features a sampler for sampling the signal. The sampled signal is then held and delayed by a selected amount. The delayed and undelayed signals are then compared and when the difference exceeds a threshold, an output signal is supplied.
