  • Patent number: 4294361
    Abstract: A blister strip package comprising two coextensive sheets of heat sealable material provided with a first row of individual cavities for containing a product to be dispensed in one of said sheets, said first row of cavities being laterally aligned with a corresponding, opposing row of an equal number of second cavities in the same sheet, the cavity bearing sheet being heat sealed to the other sheet except in the areas defined by the cavities and, in one embodiment of the invention, being also heat sealed in areas spaced from the second cavities and adjacent to weakened lines for disruption of the covering sheet, whereby the second cavities can be pushed inwards and thus inverted to bear upon the covering sheet in order to thereby disrupt it at score lines or slits and to form a pull tab which can be grasped and pulled towards the aligned, respective pair of second and first cavities thereby peeling the covering sheet from the cavity bearing sheet and forming a direct access along predetermined lines to a sele

  • Patent number: 4286492
    Abstract: A circuit which allows for the simultaneous control of the bias voltages applied to the screen grids and control grids of output tubes while maintaining the ratio of said voltages, thereby providing a method for selectively varying a single plate characteristic (Power Output) of a tetrode/pentode vacuum tube.In the case of musical instrument amplifiers, it is a desirable effect to drive the power amplifier (output stage) beyond the point that said power amplifier is able to reproduce its input signal accurately, hence causing output distortion. Said point is known as the "Clipping Point".A clipping point is most usually achieved at high sound pressure levels which are uncomfortable and difficult to work under. By varying said voltages in the previously stated manner, one varies the clipping point accordingly, and therefore is able to obtain output distortion at variable sound pressure levels.
