Abstract: A paint edger 1 comprising: a body 5 having a feature arranged to contact a structure adjacent a surface to be painted to facilitate painting the surface close to the structure; and an applicator support 6 for supporting an applicator 7 for applying paint to the surface. The applicator support 6 and the feature are moveably mounted relative to one another.

Abstract: A ranking approach is used to determine rank-based relationships. In connection with various embodiments, the present invention is directed to a method for ranking nodes of a graph. A vector is provided as a function of a set of random parameters, and a probability matrix function is used, relative to nodes of the graph, to assess the statistics of the vector that solves a probability-based system. Certain embodiments are directed to determining a page rank for a web-based search.

Abstract: An apparatus designed for the purpose of viewing transparencies on an overhead projector is disclosed. The apparatus incorporates a frame and the transparencies are retained by a portion of the frame defining a mounting member. Substantially all of the weight of the frame is concentrated in the mounting member and a member in opposed, spaced relationship to the mounting member. Tabs extending from the mounting member into the area circumscribed by the frame, in which area the transparencies are positioned for storage and display, serve to retain the transparencies in relative alignment.

Abstract: A musical instrument which comprises (i) a portable transmitter unit, (ii) a receiver unit, and (iii) a standard or modified piano, electronic organ, or other keyboard musical device. The transmitter unit has sixty keys, each of which corresponds to a key of the remote piano, organ, or other keyboard musical device, and also has eight auxiliary switches for controlling the receiver and auxiliary functions of the musical device to be remotely played. The transmitter includes electronic circuitry which scans the keys and auxiliary switches, and transmits an FM signal modulated by a serial digital pulse train identifying the transmitter keys which are depressed and the auxiliary switches which have been actuated. The receiver unit decodes the transmitted pulse train, eliminates erroneous data, and generates output signals to control the corresponding keys and auxiliary functions.
