  • Patent number: 5991537
    Abstract: A system is provided for developing program test sets with test hardware conforming to well known test industry standards, such as VXI, VME and GPIB standards. The system has a computer with a display console. After initialization and password checks, the console displays a front panel from which a user chooses the instruments, switches, connections, inputs, outputs, etc. which make up the program test set. As each choice is made, the system generates test script corresponding to the choice. The system then uses the test script, or macro, to generate the graphical representation of the component and its connections on the display. The graphical displays are standardized for each functional component or operation of a program test set, as well as being standardized between program test sets. The macros further allow a program test set to be more efficiently developed by coding macros rather than by developing graphical displays.

  • Patent number: 5619767
    Abstract: A ultrastreamlined, adaptable, stationary pot-scrubbing machine comprising a motor positioned in any desirable location beneath a sink, a flexible shaft coupled with the motor, a positioning neck comprising an arched tube rotatably mounting a scrubbing member in a substantially vertical or downturned position for the scrubbing axis and internally housing the flexible shaft to couple with the scrubbing member, and a base supporting the positioning neck adjacent to the sink, whereby said stationary pot-scrubbing machine is adaptable to any sink, and permits pots and pans to be cleaned in an upright, unobstructed manner, visible to the user so particular food deposits can be targeted for scrubbing.
