Abstract: A vessel is constructed dispensing and displaying a measured quantity of water by a graduated scale along the side wall of the vessel. The consumption of each measured quantity of water is tallied by actuation of one of a plurality of tactile buttons. In one embodiment, the buttons are distributed about a side wall of the vessel and in a second embodiment, the buttons are distributed about an end wall in a cap attached to the vessel.

Abstract: A broadcast system for a facility including audio and video signal generators that may also include the audio output of a microphone for forming broadcast signals. The broadcast signals include a program signal, a supervisory program signal and a supervisory alert signal. The power supply for monitoring stations and broadcast signals are combined to form an output signal that is broadcasted throughout the facility. A bus distributes the output signal in the facility to each of a plurality of monitor stations. Each monitor station includes decoders to recover the audio and video signals and form a resident power supply for that monitor station only from the output signal on the bus. The monitor could also includes a video monitor and speaker coupled to the resident amplifier to the resident power supply for responding to any of the broadcast signals. A resident controller controls the resident amplifier when receiving a program signal supplied to the monitor.

Abstract: A paddle suspended ball, wherein the paddle comprises a handle portion integrally secured to two substantially semi-cylindrical portions ending into parallel arm extensions at the ends of which there is a pivot for suspending a ball by a cord. The length of the cord is such that the ball, when swung in a circular path, will move through the opening defined by said semi-cylindrical portion.
