Abstract: A cover for a LED sign is manufactured from a stainless steel sheet that is dimensionally larger than the array of light emitting diodes comprising the LED sign. The stainless steel sheet is laser cut and then bent to simultaneously form a plurality of apertures and a corresponding plurality of louvers each extending adjacent one of the apertures. The apertures facilitate viewing of the LED sign and the louvers shield the light emitting diodes comprising the LED sign from excessive light.

Abstract: A system and method for providing security to at least one mass transit vehicle is disclosed wherein a memory at the at least one mass transit vehicle is used for storing a plurality of digital images that are provided from at least one camera. Upon detection of an alarm signal at the at least one mass transit vehicle at least a portion of the plurality of digital images are transmitted from the mass transit vehicle to a remote monitoring site responsive to the alarm signal.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for recording customer interactions, analyzing recordings and/or providing quality assessment and/or training is set forth. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a system may include a customer interaction recordation application service provider system, which may include, in an exemplary embodiment, an ambulatory capture device adapted to record at least one audio (and/or video) face-to-face interaction between two parties such as, e.g., between an employee and a customer; an aggregation device which may include a cradle adapted to receive said capture device; an application service provider (ASP) server system adapted for user interactive access and analysis of the at least one captured interaction; and a network coupling the aggregation device to the ASP server system adapted to transmit the at least one captured interaction to the ASP server system upon receipt of the capture device in the cradle.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for allowing an operator of a transit vehicle to make public address announcements to passengers internal and external to the vehicle. The safety of the vehicle and passengers is maintained through providing a hands-free directional microphone having noise canceling characteristics. The microphone is used as an input device for receiving an audio signal and provides the signal to a processing module that converts the signal into a digital signal. The digital signal is then processed by a digital signal processor to cancel undesirable noise common to a transit vehicle. The noiseless signal can then be converted into an analog signal and recorded within the memory of the public address system where, upon needed, the signal can be transferred to an output device such as a speaker system internal or external to the vehicle. After playback, the recorded message can also be easily repeated by means of a repeat switch.

Abstract: A retainer clip for ribbon cable connectors comprises spaced, parallel feet which are received in transversely extending apertures extending through the female component of a ribbon cable connector. Legs extend upwardly and inwardly from the feet, and male component engaging arms extend from the upper ends of the legs for resiliently securing the male component in engagement with the female component of the connector. Camming members extend from the ends of the male component engaging arms and a handle extends from the ends of the cramming members for connecting the two sides of the retainer clip.

Abstract: A bar to be used in a storage rack system is provided for the dual storage of computer tape reels and/or computer tape packs. The storage rack system has a series of bars arranged in rows and columns. The storage rack system has flexibility in that the bars are of one uniform design such that computer tape reels and packs can be stored simultaneously in one system.

Abstract: A modular storage system permits access to elevated shelves. A plurality of multishelved racks are movable together and apart on rollers or wheels in a room. Each rack includes a number of shelf stacks. Side-by-side stacks are interconnected so that the rack extends in a direction perpendicular to its direction of movement. Supported by wall of the room are plural catwalks which pass between adjacent shelves of each stack in each rack. The catwalks permit a person standing thereon to gain access to shelves above the catwalk. Selected racks may include facilities for supporting the catwalks without hindering rack movement.

Abstract: A multi-channel digital random access recorder-player receives an analog audio signal, converts the audio signal into a digital signal, and stores the digital signal in a memory for random access. The memory includes sixteen channels, each channel having sixteen memory boards, each channel and each memory board being assigned a unique four bit binary address by an address counter. An external control is provided by which the user selects an address for recording or playback and a comparator compares the selected address with the addresses of the memory. When the memory address corresponding to the selected address is detected, that memory board is enabled so that data can be recorded on the memory board or retrieved from the memory board for playback through an audio output device such as a loudspeaker. The recorder-player thereby provides random access to a memory. Also provided is a system in which several modules, each with a logic board and a memory, are combined into a single system.

Abstract: Optical system for use with attachments for a conventional reflex motion picture camera to permit stereographic cinematography are disclosed. The optical systems include lens systems having four powered elements having negative, positive, negative, and positive focal lengths respectively. The lens systems are adapted to be used with the Bernier stereographic cinematography attachment system as modified for reflex motion cameras. The lens systems include a normal lens system, a wide angle lens system, and a telephoto lens system. The wide angle lens system further includes plane parallel refractive elements to increase its overall length without changing its back focal length, and the telephoto lens system is adapted to be used with internal displacement prisms which bring the images produced by the telephoto lens system into the camera flange opening.

Abstract: The invention is a digital record/playback apparatus including an input digital filter, and A/D converter, a solid state memory, a D/A converter and an output digital filter. The entire system is driven off a single clock source which allows the frequent response of the filters to be modified simultaneous with the sampling frequency of the A/D and D/A converter. This allows the record/playback apparatus to record low frequency signals, such as medical data, as well as relatively high frequency signals such as voice, by simply changing the frequency of the clock source. In addition, the apparatus includes an expandable memory which allows recording of up to one hour or more of program material.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to playback systems for monitoring the performance of cassette tape duplicating recorders and is specifically directed to a performance monitoring playback system including precision equalization circuitry and an active tape tensioning mechanism which together produce stable high frequency system response.
