Abstract: A golf round data system includes a portable data collection unit adapted to be carried by the user for displaying information to the user and for recording data concerning the golf round. Data concerning the layout of the golf course and the location of key golf course features is stored in the data collection unit internal memory. The data collection unit includes a receiver for receiving at least one external locating signal from which the user's current location on a course can be determined. A microcomputer in the data collection unit uses the external locating signal to determine a player's current location on the course and for calculating distances between the player's current location and a designated golf course feature, as the pin location. The distance calculated is displayed to the user. The data collection unit also includes input means to register each stroke taken by the user.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing fuel at a retail site includes a fuel dispenser having a raster-scannable display of information to a customer. A circuit generates graphics information concerning transactions for display on the raster-scannable display. A video signal source supplies video signals to the fuel dispenser to be displayed on the raster-scannable display, and the fuel dispenser circuit means is capable of selectively directing graphics information concerning transactions or video signals or a combination of them to the raster-scannable display.

Abstract: A yarn remnant removal system for flexible textile yarn tubes deflects the textile yarn tube inwardly in order to effectively reduce the tube circumference and loosen the yarn remnants wrapped thereon. The system provides for a tube receiver over which a textile yarn tube is placed and a deflection arm or blade which operates to engage and deflect the textile yarn tube inwardly while the tube rests on the tube receiver. Preferably, the tube receiver will include vacuum cups for providing a vacuum to engage a deflected portion of the textile yarn tube and to hold the textile yarn tube in an inwardly deflected state. The textile yarn tube remains deflected after the deflection arm is released. Multiple jets of air may be used to blow the yarn remnants from the textile yarn tube and the tube receiver may be rotated downwardly into a vertical position to further facilitate remnant removal.

Abstract: A shrink wrap or stretch wrap pallet system including a pair of end panels arranged and configured so as to mount on opposite sides of a package, effectively connecting a base pallet and a top panel. The end panels themselves are spaced from the perimeter of the package. The end panels have vertical edges which extend beyond the perimeter of the package, thereby defining a plane between respective end panels, the plane serving to space the wrap, which lies substantially therein, from the package. The end panels are conveniently sized and shaped to fit within the area of the base pallet, intermediate panels and top panel thereby providing a relatively compact return package. Side panels may be provided to supplement the end panels.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pinch resistant buckle assembly to reduce the potential for pinching the skin of a person when connecting a female receptacle and a male latch of the assembly. The male latch has an outwardly extending engagement portion which is received by a female receptacle. The female receptacle has a body having a chamber adapted to releasably engage the engagement portion of the male latch. The chamber has an opening at the engagement end of the female receptacle body through which the engagement portion of the latch passes to engage the chamber.A guide shield is located adjacent the opening and extends substantially away from the opening in a direction from which the male latch is inserted. Extending the shield outwardly away from the opening effectively enlarges the area of the opening by providing a larger effective area to guide the engagement portion of the male latch into the opening. The guide shield provides an extended surface leading into the chamber through the opening.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a leak resistant battery cover for storage batteries. The battery cover sealably engages a conventional battery housing having multiple cells separated by internal housing walls. The cover has a substantially flat interior area, a portion of which extends over part of each battery cell when the cover is placed upon a battery housing. The cover includes a cell chamber for each battery cell. Drain-back/vents communicate each cell chamber with its corresponding battery cell. The drain-back/vent, whether separate or integrated allows escape of electrolyte gases from the battery cells into the corresponding battery chamber and provide for the return of liquid electrolyte back to the cells from the cell chambers. None of the cell chambers communicate directly through the battery cover to atmosphere.One or more additional chambers are provided in the cover above the central cells of the battery housing.

Abstract: A label including an informational leaflet having at least a bottom panel and a top panel, the top panel connected to the bottom panel. The label includes means for temporarily holding the top panel in overlying relationship with the bottom panel. A tamper tab extends outward beyond an edge of one of the panels and has a lower surface. An adhesive layer is disposed on the lower surface of the bottom panel and on the lower surface of the tamper tab, whereby the bottom panel may be secured to a first component of a package and the tamper tab may be secured to a second component such that relative displacement between the first and second components results in relative displacement of the bottom panel and the tamper tab.Further, a label having a bottom panel, for example as just described, includes an adhesive layer disposed on the lower surface of the bottom panel. A laminate cover covers the bottom panel. The laminate cover is releasably adhered to at least a portion of the upper surface of the bottom panel.

Abstract: A combining and binding conveyor system which combines a first fabric piece and a second fabric piece to form a combined fabric piece, such as a men's brief and applies binding to the fabric piece. The apparatus includes an unique combining fixture for receiving and securing the first fabric piece, the second fabric piece, and the combined fabric piece. A conveyor transports the combining fixture to at least one sewing machine work station having means for operating on the first and second fabric pieces. A transfer station removes the combining fixture from the conveyor when the operations are completed and places the fabric piece on an unique binding fixture for engaging, positioning and securing the fabric piece. The conveyor transports the binding fixture to at least one sewing machine work station for operating on the fabric piece while the same is being held by the binding fixture.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a harness system for supporting on a wearer, a portable chemotherapy treatment dispenser. The harness system includes a harness arranged and configured to removably surround a portion of the wearer. A container support means is mounted on the harness at a first location and is adapted to receive and hold a container of chemotherapy medication. A pump holding means is mounted on the harness at a second location and is adapted to receive and hold a pump. The harness may comprise a belt arranged and configured to be worn approximately about the wearer's waist. A shoulder strap may also be provided as part of the harness. The belt portion of the harness may be a brace, such as a back brace.

Abstract: A convection oven is described that provides a more desirable cooking condition. The convection oven includes a cooking cavity having sidewalls, a ceiling and a floor and a combustion chamber below the cooking cavity for heating combustion gases to be supplied to the cooking cavity. A blower fan within the cooking cavity circulates air inside the cavity. As part of the airflow path from combustion chamber to the blower fan is an intermediate flow chamber disposed between the cooking cavity and the combustion chamber. By causing the combustion gases to flow through the intermediate flow chamber, a more uniform heat distribution of the combustion gases is achieved. In addition, some heat is transferred from the combustion gases to the cooking cavity floor while the combustion gases are flowing through the intermediate flow chamber. Because this heat is supplied to the cooking cavity floor rather than to the top or sides of the cooking cavity, a more desirable cooking condition is achieved.
