  • Patent number: 11372531
    Abstract: System, method, and computer product embodiments for controlling a display device's display settings from a computing device's touch-based user interface are described. In an embodiment, the computing device establishes a wireless connectivity with the display device. The computing device sends a command generated to query information related to the display setting. Then, the computing device receives the queried information from the display device. The computing device configures a graphical user interface (GUI) with the queried information to display configurations of the display settings on the touchscreen. The configurations include the display settings currently configured in the display device. The computing device further enables, within GUI, a displayed configuration from the display configurations to be calibrated by one or more touch gestures on the touchscreen.

  • Patent number: 7514872
    Abstract: A lamp (50) has a lamp envelope (10) having a body (12) with a bottom (14) having a lead-in accepting channel (18); a seat (22) formed with the bottom (14) adjacent one of the lead-in accepting channels; a light source capsule (51) having two electrical lead-ins (52, 54) extending therefrom and through the lead-in accepting channel (18; and an electrical contact (24) having a first depending leg (26), an intermediate transverse portion (28) including a seat engager (30) adapted to cooperate with the seat (22), and a projecting leg (32) extending away from the intermediate transverse portion (28) and along a side (34) of the bottom (16), the first depending leg (26) being in mechanical and electrical contact with one of the lead-ins (54).

  • Publication number: 20050072214
    Abstract: A leak detection system capable of automatically detecting a leak in a pressurized piping system. A pressure decay test is utilized to test for leaks in the piping system. Disruption to users of the piping system is reduced by only performing the pressure decay test when there is no user demand on the piping system. Thus, a leakage test is performed by first determining whether there is user demand on the piping system and proceeding with a pressure decay test only if there is no user demand present. If user demand is initiated during the performance of a pressure decay test, the system detects the user demand and halts the pressure decay test until the user demand stops.

  • Patent number: RE30898
    Abstract: An infrared laser system and method for isotope separation may comprise a molecular gas laser oscillator to produce a laser beam at a first wavelength, Raman spin flip means for shifting the laser to a second wavelength, a molecular gas laser amplifier to amplify said second wavelength laser beam to high power, and optical means for directing the second wavelength, high power laser beam against a desired isotope for selective excitation thereof in a mixture with other isotopes. The optical means may include a medium which shifts the second wavelength high power laser beam to a third wavelength, high power laser beam at a wavelength coincidental with a corresponding vibrational state of said isotope and which is different from vibrational states of other isotopes in the gas mixture.
