Abstract: A trimmer having a first cutting blade and a second cutting blade. A first drive gear assembly cooperates with the cutting blades so that as the first drive gear assembly rotates around a first axis, the cutting blades are caused to reciprocatingly move in first and second paths to produce a cutting action. A second drive gear assembly has a second drive gear that has teeth in mesh with teeth on the first drive gear assembly. The second drive gear is rotatable around a second axis to cause the first drive gear assembly to be rotated in the first rotational direction. A powered drive assembly rotates the second drive gear around a second axis in the one rotational direction. The teeth on the first drive gear assembly are defined by a first bevel gear. The second gear is a bevel gear in mesh with the first bevel gear.

Abstract: A card game has several groups of cards with the cards of each group identified by a common color and the cards of each of the groups are successively numbered. A player is given four cards face down and four cards in his hand. In a play of the cards, a player displays one card from his hand and selects one of his face down cards to play it against. The player declares whether the displayed card is higher or lower than the selected card and wins points if his declaration is correct.

Abstract: A trimmer having a first cutting blade having a first cutting edge and a second cutting blade having a second cutting edge. A first drive gear assembly cooperates with the first and second cutting blades so that as the first drive gear assembly rotates around the first axis, the first and second cutting blades are caused to reciprocatingly move, one relative to the other, respectively in first and second paths to produce a cutting action. A second drive gear assembly has a second drive gear that has teeth that are in mesh with teeth on the first drive gear assembly. The second drive gear is rotatable around a second axis to thereby cause the first drive gear assembly to be rotated in the first rotational direction. A powered drive assembly rotates the second drive gear around a second axis in the one rotational direction. The teeth on the first drive gear assembly are defined by a first bevel gear. The second gear is a bevel gear that is in mesh with the first bevel gear.

Abstract: Within both a method for upgrading a computer system and a system for upgrading the computer system there is provided a computer system having associated therewith an upgrade management utility. The upgrade management utility provides for a buffering of a series of incoming requests to the computer system when upgrading the computer system while operating the computer system, to thus provide an uninterrupted idle state when upgrading the computer system when operating the computer system. Thus, the computer system may be upgraded with minimal disruption of functions which it supports.
