  • Label applicator and system
    Patent number: 7302982
    Abstract: A label applicator including a support surface having a central area and curving downwardly from the central area. A post assembly extends up from the central area such that a label having a label through-hole can be positioned in a support position generally on the support surface with the post assembly extending up through the label through-hole and an adhesive face of the label facing up. Thereby an article having an article through-hole can be positioned over the post assembly so that a flat surface of the article can be pressed and guided against the adhesive face of the positioned label. The curved surface flattens out as the article is pressed down, allowing the label to be smoothly applied to the article. Pins extending up adjacent to the support surface engage in notches on the label and help hold the label in place.

  • Menu generation for MPEG compliant devices
    Publication number: 20070223594
    Abstract: An on-screen display is generated for an MPEG compliant receiver. Externally of the MPEG compliant receiver, an MPEG transport stream is accessed, first data in the accessed MPEG transport stream is replaced with second data that relates to the data to be provided in the on-screen display, and the MPEG transport stream with the second data is remodulated as an RF signal. The RF signal is forwarded to the MPEG compliant receiver. The first data can be close caption data, and the second data can be installation and/or configuration menu data.

  • Internet protocol conversion module for televisions
    Publication number: 20070226772
    Abstract: An interface module for use between a signal source and a receiver has an input, a processor, and an output. The input receives a signal from the signal source. The received signal contains MPEG files formatted according to an Internet Protocol. The processor strips the Internet Protocol formatting from the received signal and reformats the received signal as a receiver signal containing an MPEG transport stream. The output makes the reformatted signal available for supply to a port supported on a chassis of the receiver.
