  • Patent number: 7740368
    Abstract: A cap for illuminating a beverage container includes a lens, a light emitting diode (LED), a battery, a control circuit, a control button, and a transparent lower section. The LED is mounted between a top cover of the cap and the lens. The LED is positioned to project light downward towards the lens. The control circuit is powered by the battery to drive the LED when activated. The control button is mounted in the top cover of the cap to activate the control circuit. The lower section is mounted to a base of the lens. The lower section is configured to be removably attached to the beverage container.

  • Patent number: 7740320
    Abstract: A chair is presented that includes a pair of chair arms, two pairs of chair legs, and a sheet of fabric. Each chair arm has a concave shape and a concave groove extending along the entire length of a concave surface of the chair arm. Each pair of chair legs is affixed to a bottom surface of each chair arm opposite the groove. The sheet of fabric has a pair of flexible rods. Each rod is affixed to the fabric and is substantially parallel to one another. The sheet of fabric is affixed to the chair by threading each of the rods through a different one of the corresponding grooves.

  • Publication number: 20050272389
    Abstract: Receiver signal strength indicator, having an automatic outputting detection circuit, can immediately detect whether its output terminals are connected to a specific apparatus or not. The RSSI comprises an RSSI signal generator, an A/D converter, an automatic outputting detection circuit and at least one output terminal. The automatic outputting detection circuit includes a current detection circuit and an interruption signal generator. When a current passes through the output terminal, the current detection circuit detects the occurrence of the current and generates a push signal. The push signal triggers the interruption signal generator, which in turn generates an interruption signal, and then an RSSI signals are output from the RSSI signal generator due to the interruption signal. The A/D converter converts the RSSI signal into an analog signal. Afterward, the analog signal is output to the exterior through the output terminal.
