  • Step-less vehicle display allowing irregular update intervals
    Patent number: 6216062
    Abstract: A display system for vehicle data provides a smooth and responsive display of vehicle data even when the data is transmitted on an irregular basis by extrapolating from the previously received data when data is not received in a given interval. The invention allows display data to be preempted by higher priority data in a shared communications system.

  • Glove turning and blocking process and apparatus
    Patent number: 4036415
    Abstract: A process of simultaneously turning and blocking a leather glove is disclosed, in which the fingers of the glove are initially mounted upon elongated members of relatively small diameter, and are turned onto heated mandrels of relatively larger diameter. The stretching of the finger portions as they are turned in this manner, combined with the application of heat from the heated mandrels, causes simultaneous blocking of the glove fingers as they are turned. In an apparatus for carrying out this process, the finger receiving members of lesser diameter are rods, and the mandrels onto which the fingers are turned are tubular. A wrist clamp is provided, which grips the inside of the cuff portion of the glove, and draws the glove off the finger mounting members onto the heated mandrels by movement relative to the finger mounting members.
