  • Patent number: 3982062
    Abstract: Encription apparatus for restricting distribution of private (e.g., premium) video programs propagated by a CATV cable network, radiation or the like employs picture carrier isolating, phase shifting and linear combining structure for rendering the transmitted video information unrecoverable by conventional television receivers. Authorized receiving stations are provided with inversely functioning electronics which reconstitute the prescribed video amplitude modulation format to permit signal reception. Similar audio program modification and correction structure permits encription and selective reception of the sound portion of the distributed programming.

  • Patent number: 3968823
    Abstract: A continuous electrically conductive ring is applied to the top of a lid which is used for covering a container opening. The lid is then placed on the opening of the container and current is placed in the conductive ring. The current in the conductive ring causes heat which causes the lid material to fuse to the surface contacts of the container opening. The current is then removed and the material is allowed to cool creating a seal between the lid and the container.
