  • Patent number: 8602014
    Abstract: A corner jig for a masonry saw for fabricating a cut in a masonry unit (e.g., brick) such as to form a corner brick veneer may have a push block wherein its height is substantially equal to a length of a brick to be formed into the corner brick veneer. A lateral position of a cut guide is adjustable to regulate a thickness of the corner brick veneer. A height of the cut guide may also be substantially equal in length of the bring to be formed into the corner brick veneer. Once the cut guide and push block are mounted to the masonry saw, the brick is positioned within the corner jig and a first cut is made. The user's hands are out of the way so that the cut can be made safely without harming the operator. The brick is repositioned and a second cut is made in the brick to finish off the corner brick veneer. Once again, the user's hands are out of the way for safe operation of the masonry saw.

  • Publication number: 20060018307
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for enabling communication between telephony devices. The apparatus includes a queue operable to receive incoming media packets from the telephony devices, and a payload segmenter coupled to the queue and operable to divide an incoming payload section of each incoming packet into one or more data segments. The apparatus also includes a mixer coupled to the payload segmenter and operable to mix the data segments from the telephony devices to create an aggregate data segment. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a reassembly buffer coupled to the mixer and operable to construct an outgoing payload section for one or more telephony devices by linking successively generated aggregate data segments.

  • Patent number: 5469834
    Abstract: The grip for an archery bow is attached to the handle of the bow and can translate (move from side to side) and tilt. The grip is attached to the handle by two screws engaging threaded inserts screwed into the handle. The position of the threaded inserts in the handle determines the side to side position of the grip. The screws pass through elongated slots in one side of the grip, with the slots elongated in different directions, thus enabling one to adjust the tilt of the grip relative to the handle. The threaded inserts are preferably held in position by locking inserts engaging the threaded inserts within the handle.
