Abstract: ? A peripheral video conferencing system is housed in a peripheral housing and adapted for communication with an analog or digital communication channel and a separate host computer system. Audio, video, and data file information is transmitted to and received from a remote conferencing site over the communication channel. A plurality of audio, video, and communication channel connectors provide means for acquiring source audio and video signals, and respectively displaying on a separate monitor and broadcasting over an internal or separate external speaker remote video images and audio. A high-speed output interface provides connectivity with the separate host computer system for coordinating, in cooperation with video conferencing application software operating thereon, the presentation of local and remote NTSC or PAL video images on a display coupled to the computer system.

Abstract: A controller for a work implement, such as the arm of a backhoe, a feller buncher, an excavator or the like provides a number of advantages over previous controllers and control methods. The controller responds to an operator's inputs to a joystick control such that the work implement moves parallel to the direction in which the joystick is deflected at a speed which is proportional to the amount of deflection of the joystick. The controller used the joystick position to generate a path and attempts to cause the work implement to move along the path. The controller computes a maximum available speed in the direction of motion specified by the joystick and is self calibrated so that full deflection of the joystick selects the maximum available speed. The controller has a self calibration mode which compensates for variability in the motion produced by the various actuators in response to given control signals.

Abstract: A packaging container that includes a top and a bottom is formed for holding and displaying an item, such as a vanity or the like. The packaging container is generally formed from blank having a plurality of panels and flaps. A back panel has a first lower flap and a first upper panel. A pair of side panels each has a second lower flap, a first upper flap and an elongated central flap. An upper front extension panel has a second upper panel, and the lower front extension panel has a third lower flap. A tab connected to the back panel is adapted to engage one of the pair of side panels, while the other of the pair of side panels is connected to the back panel opposite the tab. The upper front extension panel and the lower front extension panel are connected between the pair of side panels to form a substantially rectangular tube.

Abstract: A toe kick drawer is supported in an inset base beneath an enclosure of a bathroom vanity cabinet. The toe drawer has a recess which conforms to the inset base of the cabinet and preserves the ability of a user to place a front part of a foot underneath the cabinet when using a sink. The toe drawer allows efficient use of space and protects items and articles from water damage. The toe drawer may have rolling or sliding means coupled to the cabinet for easy opening or closing by a hand or a loot.
