Abstract: A method of patent marking products comprises providing digital data identifying one or more patents related to predetermined products in a patent marking sense, and facilitating access to the digital data such that at least the numbers of the one or more related patents can be ascertained. One disclosed execution involves acquiring or developing a patent-product map which correlates product attributes, identifiers or other product data regarding predetermined products with the numbers of patents which relate to the products in a patent marking sense. The map is made available on a remotely accessible patent marking link such that upon accessing the link, patent marking information concerning the predetermined products can be ascertained. The maps are utilized to provide patent numbers correlated with products. In all more than 20 executions of the invention are disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for constructing a multi-band antenna (10). The method includes the steps of providing a plurality of combination-type dipole assemblies (114, 116, 118, 120, 122, FIG. 7) each defined by a box-type dipole array (36) disposed coaxially within a circular-type dipole array (134), disposing the plurality of combination-type dipole assemblies along a substantially straight line (34) over a ground plane (140) and disposing a plurality of crossed-type dipole antenna arrays along the substantially straight line in alternating order with the plurality of combination-type dipole assemblies.

Abstract: A fully integrated portable personal computing device includes a lid body member and a main body member. An input system inputs data and commands and a microprocessor processes the data in accordance with the commands. A display system displays information. The display system is located in the lid body member. A projection system is integrally included in the portable personal computing device for projecting the information displayed on the display system to an area remote of the portable personal computing device. The projection system can also be a peripheral plug-in device for replacing a floppy disk drive peripheral for the portable personal computing device.

Abstract: A slit-type foil tension mask and associated front assembly for a color cathode ray tube comprise a series of parallel strips separated by slits. The strips are loosely coupled by widely spaced ties, the wide tie spacing being such as to produce a strip coupling which promotes handleability of the mask during mask and tube fabrication and facilitates damping of strip vibration when mounted in a tube, but which is insufficient to induce unacceptable Poisson contraction of the mask when uniaxially tensed along the direction of the strips in the plane of the mask, or to permit an unacceptable thermal expansion perpendicular to said strips.
