  • Patent number: 6796680
    Abstract: A strip lighting device includes an elongate housing, a plurality of light sources arranged at intervals within the housing, and a fastener for fastening the elongate housing to a surface. The elongate housing overlies the plurality of light sources and diffuses, disperses or scatters light from the light sources such that individuals of the plurality of light sources are substantially not distinguishable when the housing is viewed from the outside.

  • Patent number: 4743912
    Abstract: Method and apparatus of obviating cycle-locking slippage errors in reception of Loran-C and similar radio-frequency signals covered by receiver location acceleration effects and other distortion effects simulating the same, that comprises, receiving the radio-frequency signals and producing data by sampling and tracking the cycles of the signal with a time-constant filter sufficiently fast to accommodate for the largest acceleration to be experienced by the receiver location to avoid cycle slippage in locating a predetermined cycle zero crossing, and independently post-filtering sufficiently slowly to smooth the data and without interaction with said sampling.
