Abstract: A remote video monitoring and control system for use in cinematography includes an ergonometrically balanced display device of sufficient size and resolution to display images useful in cinematography. A handgrip base is secured to the display device, and a power source is secured to the base. A video signal receiving mechanism is operatively connected to the display device, and receives video signals from a remote camera. A camera control arrangement is operatively connected to the display device to generate camera control signals from an operator of the camera control arrangement. A camera control signal transmitting mechanism transmits camera control signals from the camera control arrangement to the remote camera.

Abstract: A pizza box is provided which has a top wall, bottom wall, rear and front wall and opposing side walls while also having an angled support surface which extends from the top wall to the front wall. Within the angled support surface are provided cup apertures for receiving containers which are maintained securely fitted within the apertures while also viewable from the exterior of the pizza box.

Abstract: A telecommunications connector including seal members for preventing contaminants from entering the plug and/or jack when mated. The mated combination of the plug and jack assemblies creates a telecommunication connector that seals and isolates the contact interface of a modular plug and a jack from contaminants such as water, dust, and other non-desirable elements and/or substances.

Abstract: A telecommunications connector is provided including a plug assembly having a plug housing, a first mating means, and a first seal member, the plug housing including a plug retaining means for receiving and selectively retaining a plug having a cable attached thereto, and the plug housing further including a latch defeat. The telecommunications connector also includes a jack assembly having a jack housing, a second mating means, and a second seal member wherein the jack housing includes a jack retaining means for receiving and selectively retaining a jack. The first mating means and the second mating means are engageable such that, when engaged, the jack receives the plug, the first sealing member forms a first seal between the plug assembly and the jack assembly, and the second seal forms a second seal between the jack assembly and a connector housing.

Abstract: A rotatable grommet for opening or closing access to a panel opening. The rotatable grommet is a C-shaped grommet having a grommet opening approximately the same size as the access area of a panel opening. The rotatable grommet includes a post that engages an arched slot formed in the panel. The ends of the arched slot define the open and closed positions for the rotatable grommet. The rotatable grommet includes a handle having handle protrusions that ease rotation of the rotatable grommet. At least one latch establishes friction between the rotatable grommet and the panel opening so that the rotatable grommet will not be inadvertently opened or closed.

Abstract: The field terminable patch connector of the present invention comprises three separable upper and lower body or housing portions, two of which have a detent structure which permits the three housing portions to be assembled and locked together into a rigid assembly. The third housing portion is a contact insulator which has a multiplicity of slots and protrusions capable of retaining eight contacts for receiving eight conductors of a four pair cable. In addition, a metal shield is provided which fits between both the upper housing portion and contact insulator portion. This metal shield portion shields (e.g., electrically isolates) the four pairs of conductors from one another and is held in position by the same aforementioned detents. When properly field terminated and used with a Category 5 compliant cable, the patch connector of the present invention meets or exceeds the EIA/TIA TSB-36 Category 5 transmission requirements when used with 110 type connector blocks.

Abstract: A method for multi-target tracking of targets from a sensor system generating a sequence of successive data frames. The method includes the steps of deleting stale data and any hypotheses generated for the previous frame, leaving an unstructured collection of tracks. Observations in each frame are processed to form a set of tracks. A fresh set of hypotheses is formed from the new track set, wherein none of the tracks within any hypothesis have any observation in common. Track clusters may be formed to reduce the processing burden.

Abstract: The use of certain organic materials having non-aromatic carbon-carbon unsaturation is described in connection with photopolymerizable compositions containing aromatic sulfonium complex salt photoinitiators in order to minimize or eliminate the odor of organosulfur reaction by-products.

Abstract: Compositions are provided comprising complex salts dissolved in liquid organic esters in amounts of at least 10% by weight. The compositions provide a concentrated liquid form of complex salt for use as photoinitiator in polymerization reactions.

Abstract: Liquid compositions are described which comprise certain sulfonium complex salts dissolved in oxyethylene-containing organic material. The compositions are dilutable with, for example, epoxides to form photocopolymerizable compositions.

Abstract: Chain-extendible, sulfonated isocyanate-terminated polyurethane-type prepolymers are obtained by treating the prepolymers with a strong sulfonating agent selected from H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, SO.sub.3, CISO.sub.3 H, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Self-emulsified polyurethane or polyurethane-polyurea or polyurea latices formed by reacting an aromatic polyisocyanate such as a polyurethane prepolymer with a strong sulfonating agent selected from H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, SO.sub.3, ClSO.sub.3 H, and mixtures thereof, converting the sulfonated polyisocyanate to a sulfonic acid salt by reaction with a base, and mixing the polyisocyanate in water to obtain chain extension and self-emulsification thereof.
