Abstract: A watch includes a first input for a actuating an audible announcement of the time and a second input for adjusting a volume of the announcement. The first input produces a second signal that changes an operating mode of the watch to a second operating mode in which a second parameter is adjusted by the second input. The first input is a cover or glass of the watch and the second input is a rotatable bezel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dye method in application of a pattern formed in conformity with the art of marbling to the carpet woven with undyed (ecru) yarn. In this developed method, the object is to allow the dyes to adhere to the yarn fibers of the carpets woven with undyed yarn.

Abstract: An airport beacon for use with a source of electrical energy is provided. The airport beacon comprises a stationary housing, a rotatable assembly rotatably mounted to the stationary housing, and a motor rigidly attached to the stationary housing and connected to the rotatable assembly for rotating the rotatable assembly. A conductive liquid-filled rotary coupling is used to connect the source of electrical energy to the rotatable assembly. The rotatable assembly includes a lamp housing having first and second lamp holders and a ballast assembly. The ballast assembly includes a first ballast which electrically connects the conductive liquid-filled rotary coupling to the first lamp holder and a second ballast which electrically connects the conductive liquid-filled rotary coupling to the second lamp holder.

Abstract: An improved airport beacon in which a lens assembly is rotated around a stationary lamp thereby enabling the lamp to be connected to a source of electrical energy without the use of slip rings.
