Abstract: An electronic device. The device comprises circuitry for capturing data representing an image and circuitry for detecting a wireless signal associated with an object. The device also comprises circuitry, responsive to the detecting circuitry, for storing image data from said circuitry for capturing and associating and storing, with same image data, additional data included in the wireless signal.

Abstract: A portable electronic device. The device comprises circuitry for performing functions in operation of the device. The device also comprises circuitry for detecting a signal representative that the device is within a location. Still further, the device comprises circuitry, responsive to the detecting circuitry, for selectively reducing a capability of at least one function of the functions in response to detecting the signal.

Abstract: A ball target assembly (10) for providing target practice and practice of timing in relation to the movement of a ball through the air. The device (10) comprises a frame section (12) positioned in a substantially upright position providing support for the device on the ground, a movable boom section (16) pivotally attached at the top and in front of the frame section (12) providing horizontal and vertical reciprocal movement of a ball receiver target section (66) to restore the target to a flush-upright position after being struck by a moving ball, a cable support system (85) providing support between the frame (12) and the target (66) so that the target (66) remains in the flush-upright position in a selected stationary position, and a backnet section (20) comprising a sack-oriented netting material received by the rearward portion of the frame (12) for timely collection and retrieval of the moving balls.

Abstract: A programmable timer module (PTM) is provided as a component of a microprocessor system in order to generate and measure varying time intervals under program control. The programmable timer module includes, in one embodiment, three independent 16-bit timers. Each timer includes a 16-bit counter and a 16-bit latch. The programmable timer module also includes an 8-bit status register and an 8-bit control register each of which may be coupled to an 8-bit bidirectional data bus of a microprocessor system. Selection circuitry is provided which permits the microprocessor to select either the control register or the status register. Information can be written into the control register; the operation is effected by means of read/write circuitry and a read/write input. Any one of the three timers can also be selected by means of the selection circuitry, and a 16-bit number can be written into the selected 16-bit latch.

Abstract: An improvement in a corner connector for a waterbed pedestal for rigidly joining the ends of the pedestal board members, the connector being of the type including first and second generally L-shaped plates, each having first and second sides interconnected to define first and second open-ended channels for receipt of the ends of the board members, the improvement being that the adjacent sides of the plates are non-parallel, the spacing between the adjacent sides at the bases of the channels being approximately equal to the thickness of the board members and the spacing between the adjacent sides at the entrances of the channels being slightly less than the thickness of the board members and that the channels have enlarged openings at the entrances thereof which are slightly greater than the thickness of the board members whereby the ends of the board members may be forced into the channels and the sides of the plates frictionally engage and retain the sides of the board members.
