Publication number: 20030066051Abstract: A method and computer program product is shown for use with a computer programming language having dynamic types and overloaded functions. A function data structure (a function handle) is constructed using a function name, which data structure contains or leads to information necessary to resolve function overloading, and also may lead to other auxiliary functions such as write, read or print. Application of the function data structure at the point of construction is functionally equivalent to application of a function name string. However, the function data structure may be applied without regard to the scope at the point of construction.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2001Publication date: April 3, 2003Inventors: Michael Karr, Mary Ann Branch

Patent number: 6123649Abstract: A resistance apparatus for use in fitness exercising and rehabilitation having a treadmill with a rearward end, a frame connected to the treadmill and positioned behind the rearward end of the treadmill, and a resistance apparatus affixed to the frame and having an end connectable to a human body. The resistance apparatus exerts a resistance force onto the human body from a back of the human body so that the human body carries out a forward motion on the treadmill. The frame includes a horizontal section connected to the treadmill and a vertical section extending upwardly from the horizontal section. The resistance apparatus is connected to the vertical section. The resistance apparatus includes a cord extending from the frame and having a mechanism attached to an end thereof so as to allow the cord to be connected to a human body.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1999Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Inventors: R. Clayton Lee, Michael A. Karr, Jr.

Patent number: 5927229Abstract: A visual aid system for attachment to a hitch of a motor vehicle to a trailer including a first pole cantably attached onto the hitch connector ball of the motor vehicle and a second pole articulated to the hitch mechanism of the trailer so as to move to a position directly above the socket of the hitch mechanism. The first pole includes a pole member and a receptacle affixed to a lower end of the pole member. The receptacle has a groove formed circumferentially around an interior thereof. An elastomeric band is located within the groove so as to be interposed between the ball and the receptacle. The second pole includes a pole member, an articulatable connector pivotally connected to an end of the pole member, and a base affixed to the hitch mechanism of the trailer. The articulatable connector is pivotally connected to the base. A phosphorescent cap is affixed to a top of the first pole so as to emit light outwardly from an upper portion of the first pole.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1998Date of Patent: July 27, 1999Inventor: Michael A.

Patent number: 5657751Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, are disclosed. A manually operated air pump is positioned on the patient's chest. A mask is positioned on the patient's face. An air line connects the mask to the air pump. Vertically downward stokes are applied to the air pump. The downward strokes provide resuscitative chest compressions and charge an air holding tank. Periodically, the contents of the air holding tank are discharged through the air line and into the mask to provide resuscitative patient ventilations. In one embodiment, the compressions are provided in response to signals from a timing device and the ventilations are provided automatically.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1993Date of Patent: August 19, 1997Inventor: Michael A.

Patent number: 4647146Abstract: An optical fiber coupler (10) is disclosed for interconnecting a tap cable (20) to a bus cable (30). Each cable has a portion of its sheath removed at the point of coupling to provide exposed cores (24,34). The cores are intertwined a number of times and the tension on the cables is adjusted to yield the desired loss. A cladding material fills the intertwined region, including the interstices of the cores, to provide a continuous sheath in the axial dimension.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1984Date of Patent: March 3, 1987Assignee: Bell Communications Research, Inc.Inventors: Michael A.
