Abstract: An improved version of a solenoid-releasable Baldwin® mortise lockset having thumb-lever actuators is provided. Components from a thumb-lever-actuated mortise lockset are combined with those of a knob-actuated mortise lock from the same manufacturer. The sheet metal of the rocking bolt-locking plate of the knob-actuated lockset and of the exterior thumb-lever actuator bracket from the other lockset are thinned in certain regions. In addition, a new vertical-to-horizontal motion converter arm has been designed and installed in the improved lockset. A rounded upper portion of the new converter arm operates on a bottom edge of the bolt-locking plate, causing it to pivot and release the latch bolt. The new converter arm retracts the latch bolt by operating on a projection on the front side, rather than on the back side thereof.

A support for the vase of a floral arrangement is inserted at the lower portion of the inner chamber of the outer container. This support is preferably made of a plurality of flat pieces of cardboard that are slotted so they may be assembled together with eight peripheral edges engaging the inner periphery of the outer container and defining a central sub-chamber sized to snugly receive the vase. Above the vase support, a bouquet support is provided consisting of a blank cut out of a piece of cardboard and including a plurality of peripheral fins that may fold up at scoring locations to create a bouquet support and a central region that includes a plurality of radially extending slots that meet centrally to define a plurality of triangular portions that may be bent downwardly when a floral arrangement is pushed through them.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method for identifying target individuals who possess certain characteristics statistically indicative of their ability to influence others in their decision making regarding consumer goods, consumer products, political issues or candidates, financial matters, investments, real estate, insurance, travel and leisure, by non-limiting example. The subject invention encompasses not only the identification of a key group of individuals in a population more likely to affect the decision making of others in the population (“Influentials” as discussed below), but also includes the identification of additional (“non-Influential”) informational data common to Influential individuals, as well as the application of this additional informational data to other populations. The advantage of employing this additional informational data to ascertain Influentials is that this data can be publicly available data (such as, for example, from the U.S.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cathode-ray tube having funnel sealed at one end to a faceplate panel with a viewing screen on an interior surface thereof, the funnel and the faceplate panel form an evacuated envelope, and a mask frame assembly supported within the envelope and in proximity to the screen. The cathode-ray tube includes a knee action circuit connector which electrically connects the internal conductive coating which is supported on an inside surface of the funnel. The knee action circuit connector is disposed between the exterior surface of the magnetic shield and the inside surface of the funnel and extends from the magnetic shield to form a curved first contact portion resiliently engaging the conductive coating of the funnel and a second contact portion extending from the curved portion and urged inwardly against the exterior surface of the internal magnetic shield thereby making electrical contact between the conductive coating and the internal magnetic shield.

Abstract: A uniaxially heat-shrinkable, biaxially oriented, multilayer film for use as a tobacco pack or carton overwrap having a polypropylene-containing core layer comprising at least 70 wt % of said multilayer film and at least one polyolefin-containing skin layer adjacent said core layer is prepared by biaxially orienting a coextrudate and thereafter orienting said coextrudate by stretching 10 to 45% in the machine direction. The core layer contains isotactic polypropylene and a modifier which reduces the crystallinity of the polypropylene-containing core. Such modifiers can be selected from the group consisting of atactic polypropylene, syndiotactic polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, propylene-butene-1 copolymer, ethylene-propylene-butene terpolymer, polyethylene and linear low density polyethylene. The skin layer can be selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, polyethylene, and ethylene-propylene-butene-1 terpolymer and contains silicone oil.

Abstract: Single or multiple players of electrically insulating tape have adhesive applied to one surface for the dielectric of the patch antenna. Electrically conductive foil tape with adhesive applied to one surface is used to create the radiating element and the ground plane. The antenna structure can then be mounted to the desired surface by means of structural tape adhesives. The resultant sandwich structure forms a highly flexible, low profile, low cost, rugged conformal antenna for radiating radio frequency energy. Modification and control of the electrical and performance characteristics of the antenna can be accomplished by non-uniform thickness of the dielectric, using insulating tape sections which differ in dielectric constant, incorporating PIN diodes with optical of electrical control, etc.

Abstract: A figurine is disclosed having an arm rotatably mounted to a torso; a hand carried on a shaft, which shaft is received within the hollow of the arm; means located within the hollow of the arm for latching said shaft in a first position and biasing means located within the hollow of said arm for urging sad shaft forward out of said hollow arm; and means responsive to manual actuation of a torso portion for unlatching said shaft to cause said hand to extend to a position remote from the end of said arm. A gauntlet of a sleevelike nature surrounds the arm and is coupled at an end to the hand so as to obstruct visibility of said shaft when said hand is in the extended position to thereby simulate an increase in length of said arm. Specific novel structure in the provided means is also disclosed.
