Patent number: 7475841Abstract: A spring retractable reel having a pneumatic retraction governor or air motor for regulating the rewind speed of a spool for taking up a line of material. For example, an air motor includes a rotor having vanes, a first port opening onto one side of the rotor, and a second port opening onto a second side of the rotor. A valve adjustably restricts a continuous flow of ambient air through the second port, and the valve defines an opening sized smaller than the first port. The rotation of the spool and the rotor are fixedly coupled together, for example, with a chain. When the spool rewinds the line of material, the rotor rotates, which in turn draws ambient air through the first port, a portion of which ambient air is restricted from exiting the second port due to the valve thereby compressing air within the air motor to regulate or limit the speed at which the spool rewinds the line of material.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2007Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Hannay Reels, Inc.Inventor: Dennis Fancher

Patent number: 7473839Abstract: A method and system for time-shortening one or more songs to generate time-shortened versions of the one or more songs are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a song editor time-shortens one or more songs and provides the time-shortened versions to a music provider. The music provider can then distribute one or more of the time-shortened songs to one or more listeners. Alternatively, in another embodiment, a song editor enables a music provider to time-shorten one or more songs. The song editor can enable the music provider by providing the music provider a procedure to time-shorten a song, where the song is provided by the song editor or is obtained separately by the music provider. The music provider can then apply the supplied procedure to the song to generate a time-shortened vision. Alternatively, the song editor can enable the music provider by providing one or more characteristics of a song selected for time-shortening.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2006Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Reel George Productions, Inc.Inventor: George Gimarc
