Abstract: This invention provides processes for making three-dimensional signage. In one embodiment, a process is provided for making raised graphic signage. In this embodiment, a profile material is adhered to a substrate materials with an adhesive which: (a) bonds firmly enough to hold the profile and substrate materials together during the process, (b) permits the profile and substrate material to be separated after the process is completed, and (c) cures to form a more permanent bond after the profile and substrate materials have been separated. Then, an outline of a desired graphic is cut completely through the profile material. That portion of the profile material which does not constitute the outlined graphic is then separated form the substrate material, before the adhesive forms a permanent bond. In another embodiment, a process is provided for making recessed graphic signage.

Abstract: A device according to the invention is compatible with conventional magnetic tape loggers. Such a device is termed a message repeater, and it records and replays audio signals forming messages on a message channel, such as a telephone line or a radio channel. The message repeater includes circuits for converting the audio signals on a particular channel into corresponding digital signals and circuits for storing the digital signals. The message repeater also includes circuits for selectively recalling the signals that were stored and circuits for converting the signals that were recalled into analog audio signals. Messages on the selected message channel may be recorded and later replayed by the message repeater. Preferably, the message repeater includes a display with indications of the relative locations and lengths of the stored messages as well as a cursor or index.

Abstract: An improvement in a changer apparatus of the type having a recording deck to which individual recording media are transported, one at a time, and an output stack for receiving and storing in stack configuration recording media that have been removed from the recording deck, including a device for laterally transporting a recording medium to the output stack, the improvement comprising a lifting element disposed at the output stack and contacted by the recording medium that is laterally transported to the output stack to raise those recording media then stored in the output stack, whereupon the laterally transported recording medium is positioned as the bottommost medium in the output stack.
