Patent number: 6557545Abstract: What is disclosed is an improved barbecue grill for outdoor cooking, having an upper cooking chamber portion; a lower fuel storage portion and a countertop member. The upper cooking chamber portion is made up of a hollow cylindrical drum, having a planar rack portion supported horizontally therein. Drum has first and second end plates and a sidewall, with an opening downward in said drum sidewall. Aan arcuate door movably hinged is located on the upward side of said drum. The drum is horizontally positioned and supported upon said countertop member. Countertop member is supported on the lower fuel storage portion and includes an opening therethrough. The lower fuel storage portion is a vertical skirt portion, having an opening upwardly and a bottom plate. A pair of doors covers an aperture in the skirt portion for accessing the interior of said skirt portion. A fuel shelf and a sliding shelf portion for removal of ashes are located inside of the skirt portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Inventor: Paul L. Williams

Patent number: 4823328Abstract: A radio signal controlled clock which decodes time information in a radio signal and thereby determines the current time. The clock collects and stores radio signal data as soon as a reasonably decodeable radio signal is located, even before the minute boundary of the radio signal's time base has been located. This data is stored and later used for decoding and verifying the digits of the time information after the minute boundary has been located. In another aspect of the present invention, an internal counter in the clock is periodically resynchronized with the radio signal, and the average of the adjustments required for this resynchronization is maintained.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 1988Date of Patent: April 18, 1989Inventors: Charles C. Conklin, Michael W. Faber, David Schachter, Philip M. Spira, Chi-Wen Wang, Paul L. Williams

Patent number: 4768178Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing a clock to broadcast time-based signals, said time-based signals including encoded timing information, the method comprising the steps ofreceiving said time-based signals,decoding said time-based signals to derive a plurality of digits from said timing information representing actual clock time, andseparately verifying the correctness of each of said digits, said correctness verifying step including the steps of separately comparing each said derived digit with at least one corresponding previously decoded derived digit and verifying said derived digit when it meets a predefined verification test based on the consistency of said derived digit with said at least once corresponding previously decoded derived digit, repeating said comparison and verifying steps as said time-based signals are decoded until each said derived digit has been separately verified, and generating a lockon signal when all of said derived digits have been verified.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1987Date of Patent: August 30, 1988Assignee: Precision Standard Time, Inc.Inventors: Charles C. Conklin, Stephen O. Jeppson, Ronald W. Mongeon, David Schachter, Philip M. Spira, Paul L. Williams
