  • Patent number: 8914740
    Abstract: A user interface is provided for allowing a user to interact with a graphical display, so as to facilitate comparative viewing of components of the display. A bar graph or other quantitative display is provided, wherein each bar is divided into a plurality of segments. Responsive to user input, segments of a given kind, in different bars, are realigned with one another along a common baseline, so that their sizes can be more easily compared with one another. In at least one embodiment, the realignment is transitory, and the original graph is restored upon further user input and/or after some predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 8430054
    Abstract: A portable fingerprint development system having a container and a base plate. The container includes a plurality of joined walls that present an opening and a rim surrounding the opening. The base plate has opposed first and second surfaces. The first surface mounts a heater that is operable to heat a fingerprint development material. The base plate is moveable between a transport position, in which the first surface is adjacent the container's rim and the heater is positioned within the container, and an operation position, in which the second surface is adjacent the container's rim to enclose an interior volume defined by the container's walls and the base plate. Preferably, an exhaust system is mounted on the first surface of the base plate for removing and/or filtering fumes within the container.

  • Patent number: 7775076
    Abstract: Many types of stabilized lock-seam tubing are provided, as well as devices, apparatus and methods for producing such stabilized tubing. Advantageously, pinch-locked tubing according to the invention, which comprise interlocking, spaced pinched deformations of the lock-seam, greatly resists side-slip and other shape deformations, including those typically produced by cutting the tubing, and by ovalizing it. Many permutations of lock-seam pinching rollers and related devices for producing stabilized lock-seam tubing are provided. Pinch roller assemblies of the invention are suitable for use with conventional machines as well as machines adapted specifically for them. Apparatus of the invention are suitable producing helically wound or straight lock-seam tubing.

  • Publication number: 20100019029
    Abstract: A financial transaction product includes a generally planar structure, which includes a first generally rectangular section and a second generally rectangular section. The first generally rectangular section includes first encoding means for associating the first generally rectangular section with a financial account and first indicia associated with a retail chain. The first generally rectangular section is adapted for use as a stored-value card. The second generally rectangular section includes second encoding means for associating the second generally rectangular section with the same financial account and second indicia associated with the same retail chain as the first indicia. The second generally rectangular section is adapted for use as a stored-value card. A lateral score line separates the first generally rectangular section from the second generally rectangular section with lateral edges of the first and second generally rectangular sections being joined along the lateral score line.

  • Patent number: 7433348
    Abstract: A multi-node time division multiplexing (TDM) system is disclosed. The improved method and apparatus utilizes an asynchronous synchronization packet (ASP) to synchronize the timing in all the nodes of the system. In some embodiments, the ASP also maps the time slots in a data frame to particular nodes. The ASP is sent at the start of each data frame to all the nodes in the system and each node synchronizes itself to the time of receipt of the ASP, thus establishing frame-based timing for all the nodes. Additionally, the ASP can contain a table that maps the data frame time slots to the nodes in the system.

  • Publication number: 20080089555
    Abstract: A method and a system accomplish inspection of a mark in a frame of a film print. The system can include a frame imager which automatically selects at least one frame in the film print having an FMS mark and automatically captures an image of the frame. The image can be captured prior to, or subsequent to, the print being developed. The system also can include a marker which marks the frame with the mark. Further, the system can include a processor which automatically extracts the mark from the captured image and automatically compares the mark on the frame to a reference mark. The captured image can be stored to a database.
