Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a test and measurement instrument that displays acquired data on a logarithmic scale without intensity banding. The test and measurement instrument processes the acquired data before it is displayed by appending pseudo-random sub-LSB (least significant bit) values to it. When the processed acquired data is displayed on a logarithmic scale, the pseudo-random sub-LSB values fill in the gaps between discrete power levels, thereby eliminating intensity banding and providing a smooth, visually pleasing display.

Abstract: An RF test and measurement device, including a front end for receiving a time-varying signal and a real-time engine for generating digital frequency domain spectrums based on the time-varying signal. The device also includes a memory subsystem containing a frequency domain bitmap which is updated through sequential receipt and storage of the digital frequency domain spectrums. The real time engine is further configured to monitor the frequency domain bitmap for occurrence of a signal characteristic, and in response to detection of the signal characteristic, cause a capture of the time-varying signal into a storage location of the RF test and measurement device.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon vapour filter system for capturing vapour released from a fuel tank. The system contains a vapour line in vapour-tight communication with the fuel tank, having a vapour capture segment for capturing fuel vapour, and in the preferred embodiment a purging stage releasing the fuel vapour. During engine operation captured fuel vapour can be released from the vapour capture line into air drawn into the engine intake manifold.

Abstract: A trimmer assembly for cutting a sheet or sheets of material. The trimmer assembly includes a carriage assembly that is removably connected to a base. The carriage assembly comprises a carriage and a saddle, with a blade fitting within the carriage. The carriage assembly is slidably positioned on a rail, the rail being rotatable relative to the base. A cut-line indicator, such as a print guard, is positioned between the rail and the base, and has a cut-line indicator edge for defining a cutting path of the blade.

Abstract: A cascadable file jacket includes a flexible substrate defined by a first and second surface. The cascadable file jacket further includes a file pocket position adjacent to the first surface, the file pocket constructed from a first ply that is folded to connect to a second ply and form an interior pocket. The first ply is folded to include a first tab adapted to fixedly engage the file pocket to the second surface. The second ply is folded to include a second tab adapted to expandably engage the file pocket to the second surface.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of organizing a desktop includes a plate with an opening with a catch serving as a handle at one end. The plate further includes two openings on the second end. Attached to the plate are a plurality of overlapping vanes, disposed between the opening on the first end and the openings on the second end. Two ends of a continuous band may be attached to the two openings on the second end. A user may place files in between the vanes to organize his or her desk. The user may then secure the files within the apparatus by pulling the band over the vanes and files and latching the band on the catch in the opening on the first end.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of organizing a desk top is disclosed. A first tray includes a base with two walls extending upward. A tab extends out from the first wall, and is capable of having indicia disposed thereon. A support wall extends down from the base such that the base is disposed at an angle with respect to the desktop it is placed on, creating a high region and a low region. The upstanding walls extend from the low region. A file may be placed in the low region, then a second tray of similar shape may be placed on top of the first tray, the base of the second tray bearing down on the file retained in the first tray. A stack of files may be sorted and held accordingly.

Abstract: A fly guard for a horse generally comprises a flexible hood or mask with eye holes for fitting about the eyes and over adjacent parts of the head. Surrounding each eye hole is an upstanding annular collar having an outward facing surface having hook/loop fastener material thereon for releasingly attaching an eye cover to the collar and for adjusting the distance of the eye cover outer panel from the eye. The eye cover outer panel which covers the eye may be of see-through mesh or of opaque material. The hood further includes a device for holding insect repellant. The device comprises a first pair of hook/loop fastener patches including a fixed patch of outward facing hook/loop fastener material and a cover patch of mating hook/loop fastener material matingly attached to the first patch. The fastener patches retain insect repellant disposed between then. A multiplicity of such patches can be used. Different patches may be used to hold different insecticides.
