  • Patent number: 6430834
    Abstract: An installation template for installing a door closer. The installation consists of an under sheet coated with a release agent and two installation templates, a pull side template and a push side template, both coated with a self-stick adhesive, attached to the under sheet. The pull side template and the push side template include two sets of written instructions, each set being upside down to the other set, which permits each template to be used for both right hand and left hand installations. The use of both pull side and push side templates on the single under sheet along with the two sets of written instructions, allows a single template to be used for both push side installation and pull side installation of both right hand and left hand doors.

  • Patent number: 6374505
    Abstract: A method of installing a door closer. The method includes selecting a pull-side mounting template adhered to a first side of a releasable backing or a push-side template adhered to a second side of the releasable backing. The selected template is removed from the backing and is separated into a door portion and a door-frame portion. An edge of the door portion is aligned with a top edge of a door and adhered thereto, and an edge of the door-frame portion is aligned with a door frame and adhered thereto. A rod and shoe bracket is attached to a rod and shoe indicator on one of the door portion or the door-frame portion, and a door closer is attached to a door closer indicator on the other of the door portion or the door-frame portion.

  • Patent number: 6317224
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for modifying facsimile data transfer rates based upon varying bit rates of a transport medium. The apparatus includes a channel quality monitor adapted to monitor channel quality of an asynchronous link, and a rate modifier adapted to dynamically modify a maximum data transfer rate between the originating facsimile machine and the terminating facsimile machine in response to the channel quality.

  • Patent number: 6160639
    Abstract: A communications link having a plurality of communication media is coupled between an originating facsimile machine and a terminating facsimile machine. The plurality of communication media includes a medium having a variable data transmission time followed serially by a media having a constant data transmission time. In the communication link, a transmission mode acceptance message is intercepted from an acceptance-transmitting one of the terminating and originating facsimile machines. The transmission mode acceptance message is modified to form a modified transmission mode acceptance message for increasing a maximum received data rate in the terminating facsimile machine relative to a transmit data rate in the originating facsimile machine.

  • Patent number: 6124949
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for preventing an originating facsimile machine from going on hook prior to call completion due to setup delays. The originating facsimile machine includes a start connect timer having a predetermined time duration. The method and apparatus include detecting a facsimile call origination from the originating facsimile machine, anticipating expiration of the start connect timer, and sending a benign signal to the originating facsimile machine prior to expiration of the start connect timer, wherein the benign signal allows the originating facsimile machine to receive a digital identification signal message from a terminating facsimile machine prior to expiration of the start connect timer.

C. and 125 .degree. C. with at least 5% of a high density polyethylene, and layer (b) being at least 45% of a copolymer of ethylene and at least one C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 .alpha.-olefin, having a density of 0.900 g/cm.sup.3 to <0.915 g/cm.sup.3, and a melting point of 85.degree. C.-125.degree. C., the film being 50.8 micrometers(.mu.) or less in thickness, and having a shrinkage value of at least 60% in at least one direction at 127.degree. C., and a process for making the film.
