Title:
Wind instrument finger exercise device
Publication Date:

Document Type and Number:
Kind Code:
A1
A
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.

A
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:

A
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.

A
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.

A
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.
