  • Security camera
    Patent number: 7614804
    Abstract: A security camera includes a base and a cover having a clear transparent dome. A gimbal base is mounted on the base and is tiltable with respect to a first axis parallel to said base substantially through a 90° angle. The gimbal base is also rotatable through an angle of at least 360° about a second axis perpendicular to the base. A camera module holder/bracket is attached within the gimbal base, and a camera module attached to the holder/bracket.

  • Golf tee
    Patent number: 7604554
    Abstract: There is disclosed a golf tee implementing an anchoring device, an impact energy deflection device and a friction reduction device in one-piece configuration. The tee anchoring device comprises two anchoring fins for initial impact resistance and the recoil dislodgement prevention fin after-impact resistance. The an energy deflection device of a gradual diameter reduction section minimizes the absorption of the impact energy by golf tee. The golf ball friction reduction device reduces less ball spin for more ball flight. The golf tee combined with these improvements, is made to stand with repeated use time after time.

  • Label data creating apparatus, label data creating method, and computer program product
    Patent number: 7588380
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a label data creating apparatus, a label data creating method, and a computer program product which can make the production of label tapes faster, and increase efficiency of the production thereof. A CPU of computer equipment performs a template data create process by an editor with a display, a keyboard and the like, and selects a model name of a tape printer displayed in a transfer destination selection field as a transfer destination, when a transfer command is issued. After the selection, the CPU creates print data composed of block information included in the template data and text data, and then shows error message in the display if at least one value of block height data is smaller than that of the height of the minimum font size stored in the tape printer as the transfer destination, based on the block information of the print data.

  • Wafer box with radially pivoting latch elements
    Patent number: 7565980
    Abstract: The semiconductor wafer containment device or wafer box includes a base with a planar floor and a double concentric cylindrical wall structure arising therefrom. The double concentric cylindrical wall structure includes slots through which latch elements pivot radially. The latch elements include an inward padded spacer element. The latch elements pivot between an outward position wherein the padded spacer elements are relatively away from the wafer containment space and an inward upright position wherein the padded spacer elements impinge into the wafer containment space and are urged against the semiconductor wafers therein. Ramps on the lid capture the latch elements in the outward position and urge the latch elements to pivot to the inward upright position and be detent engaged in this position by slots formed on the lid.

  • Method for preventing slider clip release
    Patent number: 7543362
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a zipper for a reclosable package or bag and a method of forming thereof, wherein aligned apertures are cut into the zipper flanges proximate to the slider position when the package or bag is open. Portions of the front and rear walls of the package or bag extend through these apertures during the original manufacture of the bag, and are sealed to each other during the same sealing operation which seals the front and rear walls of the package or bag to the flanges of the zipper. The resulting seal between the front and rear walls, extending through the apertures in the zipper flanges, prevents the zipper profiles from opening in the portion where the slider is positioned when the reclosable package or bag is open.
