Abstract: The present invention provides a flag-mounting device to be fastened onto a rail for securely mounting and holding a flag. The device includes a flagpole and a mounting apparatus that are made of strong material. The device is durable and easy to be installed onto a rail. The device can also be used on a pipe, a tube, or any objects with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section. The present invention also provides a method for mounting a flag onto a rail.

Abstract: A premix dispensing valve assembly for a beverage dispenser includes a housing which includes an inlet to deliver premix fluid, a compensator within the housing for subjecting a controlled pressure drop on the premix fluid which includes an outlet communicating exterior to the housing, and a regulator within the housing for applying a variable dampening effect against high fluid pressures that accompany the premix fluid upon entry into the premix dispensing valve assembly. The regulator is cooperatively linked to the inlet of the housing and communicates with the compensator. As such, integrating the regulator with the compensator optimally allows for premix fluid to maintain a constant pressure and, thus, prevent complications arising from loss of carbonation. The premix dispensing valve assembly further includes a premix delivery channel within the housing for communicating premix fluid from the inlet of the housing to the regulator.

Abstract: Interface and control apparatus for translating color video signals from a video terminal or the like into control signals useful by a dot matrix impact printer/plotter for producing a hard copy image. The color video signals are digitized and used to address a programmed read only memory having a plurality of addressable locations. The memory stores a table for translating color video signals defining a three-dot video pixel into control signals enabling a printer/plotter apparatus to produce a hard copy image of a substantially equivalent four-dot printer/plotter pixel.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a panel wall construction comprising a plurality of hollow construction panels. The construction panels are fabricated from sheet metal to define opposite interengaging panel edges. One of said edges is arranged to receive fasteners for securing the panel wall to standards. A unique clip fits over the panel edge arranged to receive fasteners and is held in place by the fastener. The clip has a resilient tab which cooperates to provide snap action engagement of the unfastened edge of the adjacent panel with the fastened edge of the already secured panel.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an insulating panel wall construction comprising a plurality of hollow insulated construction panels. The construction panels are fabricated from opposed interior and exterior sheet metal sections secured together through yieldable insulating gaskets. Together the sections define a panel having interior and exterior walls and opposite inter-engaging panel edges. One of said edges is provided to receive fasteners for securing the panels to standards. The panel edges have inter-engaging configurations such that exterior metal sections abut only exterior metal sections and interior metal sections abut only interior metal sections. Exterior sheet metal sections alone may be used to form a panel wall as they have inter-engaging edges.
