  • Patent number: 6779629
    Abstract: A rebar anchorage system for a horizontal lifeline is described as well as the method of installing the same. Preferably, two triangular frames are secured to vertically extending rebar by eight sets of J-bolts and speed nuts. The frames are preferably made of tubular steel, and may be attached to the vertically extending rebar by one workman. Two or more rebar lifeline anchors may be used in combination to secure the ends of a horizontal lifeline. Three or more anchors can be used to secure two or more lifelines that are perpendicular to each other, such as along the outer, leading edges of a construction site.

  • Publication number: 20030171991
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus to insert unavoidable audiovisual advertisements for content providers such as radio station streamcasters. When a person clicks on content provider's website to receive free content, the user must first pass through an audiovisual advertisement. If the user attempts to evade the commercial by minimizing the browser or alt-tab, then the advertisement stops and the user returns to the previous page. Subsequent advertisements require the user to watch the entire commercial before continuing with requested content. Once the commercial(s) finish, the user can access content requested and minimize the browser or alt-tab without interrupting content request. By requiring users pass through a gateway commercial, and making the terms of watching the commercial more strict, the present invention creates high value, homogeneous advertising units.
