  • Patent number: 4688687
    Abstract: A closet storage arrangement for increasing closet storage capacity includes a shoe case having two vertical side walls with a plurality of vertically spaced tiers for shoe storage provided in the case. Each tier has three horizontal shoe support members on which a shoe is rested. A clothes hang bar for supporting clothing may also be provided with the hang bar secured on each end in a vertical support member. Each vertical support member is stabilized against the back wall of the closet by a stabilizing arrangement. A shelf may be supported by the vertical support members.

  • Patent number: 4025848
    Abstract: An electrical circuit for measuring the phase difference between a pair of nput signals by uniformly limiting selected properties of the waveforms describing the input signals and modulating an output signal in dependence upon the duration of contrariety between the unlimited properties of the input signals whereby error in the output signal due to "jitter" (i.e., abrupt, spurious variations in pulse amplitude or duration caused by superimposition of noise) is substantially eliminated. Various output means produce either a continuous wave analog signal or a digital bit signal in dependence upon the modulation of the output signal. Coupled ancillary circuitry monitors one input signal in comparison with the other input signal and provides an output signal signifying which input signal has a leading phase angle.
