Abstract: A media transfer system includes a media transfer messaging application stored on a central server to be downloaded by a plurality of client devices and stored thereon. The plurality of client devices are communication with a network. The plurality of client devices having the media transfer messaging application stored thereon are enabled to transmit media between one another via the network and are defined as a receiving client device when receiving media and a sending client device when sending media. The sending client device is authenticated prior to sending media to be defined as an authenticated sending client device, and media sent from the sending client device is received by the receiving client device as a message. The receiving client device is adapted to accept, reject or delay delivery of the message, and is adapted to send a message received from a sending client device to at least one receiving client device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for calibrating a sensor signal conditioner coupled to a bridge sensor disclosed. The signal conditioner sensor preferably includes a CMOS integrated circuit, which enables relatively easy and precise calibration of resistive bridge sensors via an EEPROM without the use of a microprocessor. When mated to a resistive bridge sensor, the sensor interface can digitally calibrate offset and gain with the option to calibrate offset and gain coefficients and linearity over temperature. A second order compensation can be enabled for temperature coefficients of gain or offset or bridge linearity.

Abstract: A fishing reel has a main body and a mounting assembly for connecting the fishing reel to a fishing rod. At least one cushion member is provided on the mounting assembly that has an exposed, compressible surface that is engageable by a user grasping the fishing reel with the fishing reel in an operative position on a fishing rod.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining physical properties of liquids, such as specific gravity or density. The method is performed through the use of a mainframe controller, a remote sensor, and two sets of dip tube assemblies, one for each of two measurement channels. The time at which a bubble is released by one of the dip tubes into a liquid and the size of the purge bubble are both controlled. By controlling the timing of bubble release, the pressure within a dip tube can b e measured after the system has been allowed to quiet down. If a pair of dip tubes is employed within the same vessel, the differential pressure can be measured when the pneumatic line pressure variations have reached steady state, that is after the gas flow into the dip tubes has been discontinued.

Abstract: A microprocessor based instrument is provided for measuring liquid level, specific gravity, or density.The instrument includes a mainframe controller, a remote sensor, and two sets of dip tube assemblies, one for each of two measurement channels. The instrument allows the operator to control both the time at which a bubble is released from one of the dip tubes into a liquid and also the size of the purge bubble which is released. By controlling the timing of bubble release, the pressure within a dip tube can be measured after the system has been allowed to quiet down. If a pair of dip tubes is employed within the same vessel, the differential pressure can be measured when the pneumatic line pressure variations have reached steady state, that is after the gas flow into the dip tubes has been discontinued.
