Abstract: A nonwoven composite that has a dimension in a machine direction and a cross-machine direction is provided. The composite comprises a nonwoven facing positioned adjacent to an elastic film. The nonwoven facing contains a spunbond web that is formed by necking a base spunbond web. The base spunbond web includes a plurality of fibers generally oriented in the machine direction and exhibiting a machine direction tensile strength and cross-machine direction tensile strength. The ratio of the machine direction tensile strength to the cross-machine direction tensile strength is about 4:1 or more.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning swimming pools, cement finishing tools, and wire ceiling applications, having an outer tube having a collar and angled detent, and a mechanism for attaching a tool. A dodecagon shaped inner tube configured to be received within the outer tube within an aperture in the collar. The inner tube is shaped to slide within the outer tube to a selected position in relation to the outer tube, allowing for the angled detent to position and secure the inner tube within the outer tube. A plurality of apertures are aligned on the inner tube, so that the angled detent, which includes a locking mechanism, which may be a tapered or ringed pin that is operably engaged with one of the apertures, to secure the inner tube at a selected position within the outer tube.

Abstract: A cam locking device comprising a male construct and a female construct the female construct for installation in a smaller tube, and the male construct for contacting an interior of a larger tube for impermanently fixing the relative position of the smaller and larger tubes.

Abstract: An increased efficiency, more durable pool leafing tool, and method, for gathering leaves and other pool debris from a pool bottom wall has a handle, a handle-controlled basket of a water-pervious and leaf and debris-impervious plastic mesh pocket having a closed end and an open end and a leaf and debris receiving volume therebetween formed by longitudinally extended sidewalls. The sidewalls provide an open end edge margin that is attached to a supporting frame. A pocket stay structure has one or more spring elements bent on themselves about the pocket closed end. The stay structure extends attached to the sidewalls for substantially the sidewall longitudinal extent length for biasing the mesh pocket volume against collapse onto itself in its empty or leaf and debris-filled condition to facilitate both gathering and disposal of leaves and debris from swimming pools.

Abstract: The method of the invention enables a printer to interpret received page description data and to generate a series of corresponding graphics commands that enable graphic objects to be printed. During the interpreting action, memory resources are allocated for storage of the graphics commands, which are then arranged into a display list. The printer's personality maintains a measure of available memory for allocation and, upon sensing a low memory level, causes a compression of the series of graphics commands in the display list to achieve a more efficient use of the available memory assets.

Abstract: A clasp-like device for securing sunglasses or other articles to sunvisors or other acceptable surfaces. This is accomplished by installing the sunglass temples between one of the device jaws and the sunvisor. The device is opened by applying pressure to a lever that is located near the intersection of the device jaws. On the inner surface of a device jaw nubs can be placed, if required, to aid in the securing of sunglasses or other articles in position. The device can also be held in position by a device retainer which can be mounted where there are unacceptable surfaces by using two-faced adhesive or a screw. The device is made of injection molded glass reinforced nylon or similar material for holding tension.

Abstract: A low cost, repairable pool cleaning tool for cleaning debris from a pool bottom wall, comprising a mesh fabric debris receiver having a perimetrical portion, a frame supporting the mesh fabric receiver by its perimetrical portion for debris reception, a protective sleeve surrounding the frame against contact with the pool bottom wall, and a pole attached to said frame for manipulating the receiver in the pool to gather debris from the pool, the mesh fabric being adhesively bonded to the frame or to the sleeve for ease of manufacture and for ready replacement and repair. The tool further includes positive clamping of the fabric mesh at the pole connection to the frame, and a rotatable and removable scrubber lip journaled on the sleeve.

Abstract: Disclosed is a resource sharing system having a host computer and a plurality of a client computers connected by a Local Area Network (LAN). Resource sharing software, located in the host, is comprised of a supervisor process, a spooler process, and a plurality of session worker processes. This supervisor receives an initial call request from a client, and creates a session worker to handle all subsequent requests from that particular client. Each session worker creates a plurality of co-routines, one for each concurrent request, which operate to provide a high-performance response to the network. Co-routines share the session worker stack, as well as all other areas in the session worker. Because co-routines never interrupt each other, there is no competition for resources, and no need for critical sections of software.

Abstract: A method of executing a program module in an expanded memory of a computer system using PC or MS DOS. The program module is divided into a resident section and a transient section. After loading the module into main memory, the program module relocates the transient section to expanded memory. The module is called, either directly or via an interrupt, through an entry point in the resident section, while the majority of the program module function is performed by the code in the transient section. The module is also divided into a third, data, section which can be shared by the resident and transient sections, and which can be loaded either into expanded or main memory.

Abstract: Ceiling hanger clip 20 installation is facilitated by carrying a standard clip fastener firing gun 16 on an extended handle 12 having means 86, 98, for tripping the gun trigger 28 responsive to thrusting thereof against the ceiling.

Abstract: Apparatus for the rapid twist-tying of a wire ceiling hanger onto a ceiling joist, comprising easily bendable wire of U-shape with a relatively longer leg and a relatively shorter leg having their respective axes in a common plane and radially spaced for straddling the joist, the apparatus comprising an axially rotatable handle slidably engaging the joist-straddling wire hanger by the longer of its legs and radially inward of the hanger shorter leg, and pivotally mounted on the handle a fork adapted to capture the shorter hanger leg for helical movement around and toward the hanger longer leg responsive to simultaneous rotation and axial displacement of the handle relative to the joist, whereby the captured shorter leg is wrapped around the hanger longer leg freely of the handle.

Abstract: Hand held, remote driving tool for driving a rotatable working head such as a lag bolt and hanger wire insertion head, at a distance otherwise beyond the reach of the tool operator, the tool comprising a rigid axially elongated tubular driver member adapted for coupling to a power drill, and a rigid, axially elongated tubular driven member adapted to carry a rotatable working head at its remote end for driving by the drill, the driven member at its near end being interfittable with the driver member at a predetermined locus of coextension; cooperating axial sections on the driver and driven members at the predetermined locus, the cooperating sections being relatively configured to bind the members selectively within the locus in a predetermined axially aligned and interfitted condition of the members and in a manner normally tending to binding release pivoting of the members relative to each other in response to side loading forces on one or both of said members in the use of the tool, and skirt means attache
