  • Publication number: 20210358395
    Abstract: A display device includes a front portion, a rear portion, a halo, and sides extending between the front portion and the rear portion. The front portion, the rear portion, and the sides form an enclosure. The halo includes a rim and an internal structure. The rim is positioned between the front portion and the rear portion. The internal structure is at least partially within the enclosure and includes a sweep portion and a receiving post. The receiving post and the sweep portion are configured to receive light emitted by one or more light emitting devices and at least one of guide, direct, diffuse, focus, and scatter light emitted by the one or more light emitting devices out of the display device.

  • Patent number: 9824549
    Abstract: A monitor display unit mounted on a surface and in electronic communication with a system or device to be monitored, comprising a face plate, a back plate having at least a portion of a side edge being translucent or transparent, a logic controller, and at least one light-emitting device in electronic communication with the controller. Actuation of the light-emitting device causes light to pass through the side edge of the back plate, thereby being visible to a viewer at an angle that can be generally parallel to the surface on which the display unit is mounted.

  • Patent number: 8672600
    Abstract: The present invention provides a clip having a general T-shape. The clip may be mounted to a deck board structure for engagement with a joist. The clip may include a base for mounting to a structure, such as a deck board, and barbs located on the base. The clip may also include a pair of supporting arms having clamping tabs with barbs. The barbs of the base and the clamping tabs may grip onto a joist. The clip may also include an aperture that is capable of connecting the base to the deck board. Once assembled with the deck board and joist, the clip may remain completely hidden from view after deck completion.

  • Patent number: 5299695
    Abstract: A carousel is disclosed herein for supporting a plurality of cooking oil containers having outwardly projecting spouts and handles wherein the carousel includes a hollow turntable reinforced with a circular support rib and having an upper surface provided with separate and individual receptacles for receiving the bottom of each container. The receptacles are critically disposed with respect to each other so as to accommodate placement of the containers on the turntable so that the spouts and handle do not extend beyond the peripheral edge thereof. A base with a bearing rotatably supports the turntable.

  • Patent number: 3964064
    Abstract: A radar return signal is analyzed by amplitude comparators so as to classify the radar return signal with respect to 2.sup.n -1 threshold levels to thus produce n parallel bits for each classification defining the instantaneous amplitude of the radar return signal. The bits in a given significant bit position (most significant, least significant, etc.) comprise a word which moves through the video storage device serially with respect to bits in the same significant bit position and in parallel with respect to bits in the word comprised of different significance bits. Input buffers in the form of n storage registers are provided, each storage register being associated with a particular bit significance. The bits are entered into their associated storage register at a rate dependent upon the desired radar range. The bits are optionally integrated on a bit-by-bit basis and then entered into a main memory having n circulating storage registers arranged in parallel.
