A builder program is used to make the template include a page having: a first portion that includes a set of data elements for representing the subsequently input data such that if the subsequently input data includes a time series data, then the first portion includes sets of up to twelve time series numeric data elements, and if the subsequently input data includes numeric data elements, then the first portion includes no more than four sets of numeric data elements, each of the sets including no more than ten numeric data elements; a second portion having at least one chart with at least one plot for depicting each of the numeric data elements from the first portion of the page; and a third portion having text characterizing at least one of the numeric data elements in the first portion.

Abstract: The shaft mounted receptacle extension cord set comprises an extension cord including a receptacle head which is received within a housing having a flexible clip thereon which is engageable about a shaft. For protecting an unused receptacle from the ambient environment, a receptacle cover is releasably secured over each receptacle and fixed against loss by a tether secured to the housing.

Abstract: The method for engaging a geosynthetic or erosion mat including a soil engaging layer to underlying ground includes the steps of feeding a length of twine out over the soil engaging layer of the mat, and pressing a loop of the twine into the ground at intermittent points therealong. If required, an enhancing step of compressing the ground over the pressed in twine may be incorporated into the method.

Abstract: The vent assembly for a window or window well cover comprises a base within the confines of which and to which a wedge shaped vent structure is hingedly mounted to be movable from a closed position where a solid top of the vent structure rests against the base along the length thereof to an open position where the top is pivoted away from the base around the hinge exposing other open screened walls of the vent structure which allow for entry of air only therethrough when exposed so no debris or animals may enter the area between the window and the cover therefor.

Abstract: The Automatic Shutoff Overflow Controller comprises a circuit which engages between a source of power and a water processing device, the controller, sensing an undesirably high water level in the device, shutting off the device and producing an audible warning that such condition exists.

Abstract: The accessorized collapsible multiscale comprises a plurality of elongate slats which are joined together along elongate edges thereof, each slat including at least one graduated scale thereon, the multiscale being collapsible by folding together of adjacent slats, and the multiscale including an accessory clip which is used to maintain a terminal position of a desired slat, with the clip angling the slat relative to a support surface therefor for ease in viewing the scale on the desired slat.

Abstract: The collapsible sheet support apparatus comprises a horizontal center beam to which a plurality of arms, which are pivotable relative to the center beam, are engaged. At least one pair of bottom arms creates legs for supporting the center beam. At least a further pair of top arms may be engaged to the center beam to allow engagement of a sheet larger than can be accommodated by the center beam to the apparatus.

Abstract: The method for removing a thermophilic group of cells from a source of mixed cells, such as blood, comprises the steps of obtaining a sample, testing the sample to determine the temperature gradient required to cause migration of the thermophilic cells from the sample. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes the step of bringing the sample back to its ambient temperature quickly if it is desired to do so.

Abstract: The universal active shaft sensor mounting assembly comprises a base including structure thereon for fixedly engaging a rotational shaft sensor onto an end of a rotatable shaft in a manner maintaining the sensor fixed in position against rotation. The assembly is fixed to the end of the shaft by a spindle rotatably engaged to the base with the axis of rotation for the spindle and shaft being the same. A target element fixedly engages another end of the rotatable spindle, rotating therewith and interacting with the sensor mounted to the base.

Abstract: The apparel protector kit comprises an extended bib having cuffed sleeves and a free bottom edge having fasteners thereon with cooperating fasteners elements being provided for engaging the bottom edge to a food tray. Alteratively, fasteners may also be provided for engaging lateral edges of the bib to arms of a chair as well.

Abstract: The improved revetment system is created using a plurality of substantially identical blocks which comprise a body having at least one channel therein leading to a slot and at least one arm extending outwardly of the body and terminating in a locking ear. The ear engages in a slot of an adjacent block and is of less depth than the slot, with the arm being of a length at least equal to and preferably greater than that of the channel, the slot including a removable spacer tab therein which abuts a terminal edge of the ear to keep the blocks spaced apart and an area of the block defined by the arm and ear having an arcuately downwardly sloped top surface with a terminal edge of the ear defining a lowermost position along the arcuate surface.

Abstract: The pop up lavatory plug comprises a body which depends from a head and has a trailing connector. The connector is elongate and has a linear array of bores therein. The head has a cavity in a top surface thereof which engages an overcap. Extending downwardly into the plug body from within the cavity is a slot by means of which an overcap assembly can be floatingly engaged to the plug in place of the overcap when it is desired to cover a visible flange of a drain assembly rather than merely selectively sealing an orifice of the drain assembly as is accomplished when the overcap is used.

Abstract: The toilet tank ball flapper and chain assembly is formed as a unitary article of manufacture, with the chain being integrally molded to lie along the perimeter of the base plate of the flapper and being releasably engaged thereto by a plurality of break away nubs.

Abstract: The active air sampling temperature sensor module for an infant incubator includes a housing within which a temperature sensor is located together with a fan which serves to draw air from at least a major portion of the volume in the incubator across the sensor to provide a true (average) instantaneous temperature reading to a controller of the incubator which in turn controls activation of a heating system of the incubator to maintain an optimum temperature within a decreased range of deviation.

Abstract: The bicycle rack/bag assembly comprises a rack which depends from a seat post over a rear wheel of a bicycle. A plurality of accessories, such as a pack or bag, a drawer, and a mud flap may be engaged to the rack, each individually, or in any desired combination. The rack includes a quick connect/release assembly for easily engaging the rack to a seat post of substantially any diameter.

Abstract: The bottled water delivery system includes a pump which moves water from within a bottle to a desired output location. The system is such that heavy water bottles need not be moved and may be located at a significant preselected distance from the output location. A controller is provided to keep the pump from being actuated when there is no water available for pumping. The system is easily installed, inexpensive due to its simplicity, and requires a minimal input of power for operation.

Abstract: The bicycle seat pack comprises a clam shell structure wherein a top portion includes a releasably locking bicycle seat engaging assembly including a release lever. A zipper extending almost completely around a periphery of the pack allows for a drop down bottom portion to drop away from the top portion, allowing for easy access to the interior space, with enhanced accessibility allowing for compartmentalization of the inner space, if desired.

Abstract: The system for adjustably mounting an item to a vertical surface comprises a track and cooperating slide slidably engaged to one another. One of the system structures engages an item to be mounted and the other of the system structures engages the vertical surface. Relative position between the structures may be adjusted and maintained, with the structures being releasably locked together once engaged. Further, if desired, the system may be engaged to an alarm apparatus to alert of tampering with the system.
