Abstract: The present invention provides high strength nonwoven wipe materials and the process of making the materials. The high strength nonwoven wipe materials contain cellulosic fibers, synthetic fibers, or mixtures thereof, with bicomponent fibers and optionally, a binder. The present invention provides a high strength, high elongation, reduced stiffness nonwoven wipe material with superior tensile strength.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of making a multilayered fabric comprising a first absorbable nonwoven fabric and a second absorbable woven or knitted fabric.

Abstract: A recreational or competitive flying disc includes an illumination system employing an array of flexible optical fibers to distribute the light of a single light emitting diode (LED) from the rotational center of the disc to its outside periphery. A small water-resistant compartment centered on the underside of the disc houses the LED, battery, and the illumination control. The leads of the LED also serve as the contacts of the battery. One end of each of the optical fibers is embedded in the LED, and the other end extends radially from the central housing on the underside surface of the disc to the rim of the disc. The flying disc is illuminated without altering the aerodynamic properties of the disc.

Abstract: A digital video recording system (10) includes a video camera (12) directed at a scene of interest to continuously view the scene and generate video images (F) of the scene. An image processor (14) is configured to compare the video image (F) with a previously established reference image (Fr) of the scene to determine if changes have occurred. The image processor includes a memory (20) in which portions of video images (F) are stored, together with the time and date information as to when the image was acquired. A video playback capability (30) allows the memory to be accessed to retrieve the portions of the video images for image reconstruction. The playback system enables the memory to be accessed at any desired date and time location so an image of interest can be reconstructed without having to scan stored video images in a date/time sequence. Accessing the memory is done without interrupting the image processor's processing of currently acquired video images.

Abstract: A digital video recording system (10) includes a video camera (12) directed at a scene of interest to continuously view the scene and generate video images (F) of the scene at a predetermined frame rate. A frame grabber (16) converts the images to digital signal (vd). A processor (14) processes the signals, comparing the video image represented by a digital signal with a previously established reference (Fr) of the scene to determine if changes have occurred. The processor has a memory (20) in which contents of each digital signal are stored, together with the time and date information as to when the image was acquired. A video playback capability (30) allows the memory to be accessed to retrieve the contents of digital signals so video images produced by the camera can be recreated. The playback system enables the memory to be accessed at any desired date and time location so an image of interest can be reviewed without having to scan video images in a date/time sequence.

Abstract: A waterbed having peripheral resilient cushions for supporting its perimeter, said cushions being retained in position by means of a plurality of slings formed by inward extensions secured to the liner at a distance away from the vertical projection of the cushion itself such that when a water bag is inserted within the liner and the cushions, the weight of the water tends to compress the sides of the slings together thereby applying inward force on the cushions to somewhat counteract the outward force of the water itself.
