Abstract: A multi-station boxing center is provided. The multi-station boxing center has a base arranged to be positioned on a generally horizontal support surface and a canted frame having a means for supporting a heavy bag and a means for supporting a speedbag. The multi-station boxing center frame is positioned at an angle with said horizontal support surface such that the effective center of gravity of the boxing center prevents tipping of said boxing center. The multi-station boxing center base is disposed so as to prevent interference with the movement of a user.
Abstract: Solanum viarum is an alkaloid producing plant of the family Solanaceae with varied therapeutic uses. In order to grow the plant in large areas; one needs to have an efficient system of vegetative multiplication, which ensures its genetic uniformity, and true to the type nature. In nature largely seeds propagate plant, which could be result of cross-pollination which may result in genetic drift. The present invention provides an efficient micropropagation system, with high level of multiplication at relatively low cost of production. The multiplication ratio was as high as 1:6 and almost 95% the plants were viable and successfully cultivated in field. The present invention provides an ideal way of mass cultivation of the selected elite plant material.
Abstract: A content display system is disclosed for offering, excellent multimedia content browsing/viewing environments to handheld device users, from a server of a communication network, by the use of a handheld device and a cooperating computer device cooperated to the handheld device.
Abstract: An object-based coding apparatus and method for image signals, wherein upon scanning shape-adaptive transform coefficients of an input image signal transformed in accordance with a shape-adaptive transform, only segments containing such shape-adaptive transform coefficients are scanned. In the scanning operation, segments containing no transform coefficient are skipped, thereby reducing the quantity of data being encoded. An apparatus for and a method of object-based decoding of image signals are also disclosed which can decode bit streams generated using the coding method, thereby reproducing image signals.

Abstract: A fish tape pliers is formed with opposed planar and curvilinear edges that form or channel disposed distally from the pliers' pivot connection axis. In one operable embodiment, the edges frictionally engage the fish tape within the channel. The fish tape in pulling an electrical wire through a conduit, is directed away from the handles and the users' grip hand. The jaws may have differently contoured or cross-ridged surfaces to provide the desired frictional engagement without damaging the fish tape. The fish tape pliers includes diverse complementary features for crimping, stripping, bending and/or cutting an electrical wire.
Abstract: An integrated circuit configuration is provided comprising a primary side and a secondary side, for actuating power switches disposed in bridge circuit topology as well as an associated method. The primary side comprises a signal processing means and a level shifter for the potential-free actuation of the secondary side. The secondary side, in turn, comprises a signal processing means as well as a driver stage for the TOP switch. For the detection of the switched state of the TOP switch on the primary side, this side comprises a circuit section for the detection and interpretation of a current flow through a level shifter. A first lower threshold value of this current through the level shifter detected on the primary side is assigned to the not-switched-on TOP switch of the bridge circuit, and a second upper threshold value of this current through the level shifter detected on the primary side is assigned to the switched-on TOP switch of the bridge circuit.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an efficient method of in-vitro micropropagation of Piper longum plants. In particular, the present invention is directed towards the novel method for micropropagation of Piper longum from lateral bud (meristematic) explant (starting material), by culturing the explants on different medias. This method results in mass production of the plant Piper longum in a short span of time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a contact maker for the gate terminal of power semiconductor components in disc cells and power semiconductor modules. Disposed above the power semiconductor component is a shaped member that incorporates in the region of the gate terminal a recess, and this recess, in turn, also incorporates a counter-support. The contact maker consists of a contact spring incorporating a pin-like extension at the end of the spring that contacts the gate terminal, and incorporating a connection created via a shaped metal element to a connecting cable for the external connection at the other end of the spring, and of an insulating sleeve with a contact spring disposed therein. The insulating sleeve itself has at least one locking projection, which, together with the counter-support of the shaped member, forms a snap-lock connection.
Abstract: A signal assembly mountable to an exterior of a vehicle is configured with a light-generating unit operable to emit a visually perceptible signal, and with a sound-generating unit operable to generate a sound signal. The light and sound generating units are coupled to one another to form a unitary assembly.
Abstract: The invention relates to a sleeping bag consisting of adjacent chambers that are formed by partition walls. The chambers contain a filling material. The sleeping bag also consist of a zip and inner and outer linings which cover the chambers. The outer lining consist of a waterproof material. The outer lining and the partition walls or the outer lining and fixing stripes being connected to the partition walls consist of a material that can be sealed. The partition walls are sealed onto the outer lining from the inside at the end of said walls or by means of the fixing strips.
Abstract: A portable simulated pulling exercise apparatus includes an upright support and a variable resistance head member lockably and pivotably connected to the upright support in an adjustable manner. A continuous pulling member runs through the variable resistance head and is pulled by a user. The user can determine the variable pulling resistance and adjust a head member pivot range with a degree of pivot through various degrees of freedom. The Apparatus is collapsible and repositionable for user convenience and portability.
