  • Patent number: 6531979
    Abstract: Circuit for stabilizing the spectral extent of a varying signal containing harmonically related frequency components and having particular utility in the spectral analysis of radar return for the purpose of target identification. The variable signal is written into a storage device at a fixed rate and read out with a variable time compression which is controlled by a discriminator circuit that is connected through a filter to receive one of the harmonic frequency components of the storage device output signal. Also included is signal conversion for digital storage with analog input and output signals.

  • Patent number: 6492936
    Abstract: Circuitry and technique for improving the analysis of a signal, such as radar return, by eliminating the effects of frequency variations of the carrier and thereby stabilizing the modulation spectrum. This is accomplished by tracking the carrier frequency and using it as a reference signal for translating the carrier frequency in the radar return to zero frequency.

  • Patent number: 5806107
    Abstract: A splatterless urinal having a chamber for the reception of urine in the form of a truncated right circular cone. One side of the cone shaped interior chamber is positioned vertically so that the base of the cone is at an angle to the vertical, whereby the incoming urine stream is captured and retained within the body of the urinal.

  • Patent number: 5368526
    Abstract: A readily adjustable belt and a link construction wherein a plurality of links of similar construction are detachably connected in end to end relationship to define an endless torque transmitting belt. Each link is formed of an injection molded plastic part having a female end portion and a male end portion arranged such that the male portion of one link can be readily snap-fitted to the female portion of the next adjacent link. The respective links are identical in structure and are provided in complementary interlocking structure to facilitate attachment and to insure positive interlocking engagement of adjacent links, and yet render the links readily detachably connected so as to facilitate rendering a belt readily adjustable. The respective links are also provided with transversely extending indentations formed in the upper and lower surfaces thereof to impart flexibility thereto. Tapering side surfaces are provided with a non-slip textured surface.

  • Patent number: 4979929
    Abstract: An adjustable torque transmitting belt comprising a plurlity of links. The links are attached end to end forming a belt of any desired length. The ends of the belt formed by the plurality of links are attached together by combining three different specialized links with a flexible bolt. The flexible bolt fits through a bore in a male link attached to one end of the belt, then through a bore in a rotator link, then treaded into a female link attached to the other end of the belt. A continuous loop belt is then formed that can be easily adjusted by the specialized link and flexible bolt assembly. A single flexible elongated link may be utilized in lieu of a plurality of smaller links. In another embodiment a plurality of identical links are assembled together to form an adjustable continuous belt. Each link can be securely attached without the use of tools due to the flexible nature of the configuration and the material of the similar links.
