Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of binding a human machine interface to an expression of existing computer code may include analyzing the existing computer code to identify one or more bindable expressions in the existing computer code, and receiving a command to bind a human machine interface with one or more of the identified bindable expressions. The method may further include binding, using a processor, one or more of the bindable expressions with the human machine interface in response to the command. The binding may enable the human machine interface to communicate information within the existing computer code in place of the one or more bound expressions. The bound machine interface may communicate information within the computer code while the computer code is executing.

Abstract: A compact shaving kit is provided that comprises a slim crush-proof, latched, watertight clamshell case, constructed from tempered aluminum or other lightweight, high tensile strength material. The case contains retention means for shaving soap or cream, shaving brush, one or more safety razors, and a storage means for accessory items such as extra razor blades, after-shave balm or cologne. The case also includes a portable mechanical retention means for the shaving brush, for after-use storage in an upright, inverted position. The case may also contain a mirror. The case is dimensioned for insertion into a travel bag, toiletry bag or suitcase.

Abstract: A plunge milling system (10) for effecting rapid removal of material from a workpiece during a rough and/or finishing cutting procedure. In this system, an axial cutting tool (12) is rotated about its axis and axially moved into engagement with the workpiece for cutting material from the workpiece. When the tool (12) is engaged with the workpiece, the tool is also moved transaxially and simultaneously with the axial movement whereby material is removed from the workpiece along a curved path.

Abstract: A plunge milling system (10) for effecting rapid removal of material from a workpiece blank during a rough and/or finishing cutting procedure. In this system, an axial cutting tool (12) is rotated about its axis and axially moved into engagement with the workpiece blank for cutting material from the workpiece. When the tool (12) is engaged with the workpiece, the tool is also moved transaxially and simultaneously with the axial movement whereby material is removed from the workpiece blank along a curved path.

Abstract: A reversible cooktop grate includes a first side having a flat surface; and a second side extending opposite the first side. The second side includes a curved surface for accommodating a curved-bottomed cooking vessel.

Abstract: A collapsible sports racquet comprises a racquet having a handle with a male end and a pair of prongs extending upwardly therefrom. A racquet head has a neck and a female receptacle. Openings within the receptacle extend inwardly into a pair of channels. The prongs of the handle are received within the channels. Resilient detents on the handle are received within openings located on the receptacle and provide releasable securement of the handle to the head.

Abstract: A pallet is provided for unitized loads of products which pallet is adapted for handling by forklift devices. The pallets are constructed by affixing angle board along the bottom surface of substantially all of at least one edge of a flat sheet of a relatively stiff recyclable paper product such as corrugated board, laminated paperboard, or fiberboard.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for allowing computer functions formed on a flexible substrate to be adjacently stacked in layered relation. Each functional island will have an electrical connector on one end thereof. The electrical connector may include a plurality of conductive pads formed over solid vias that form a surface for electrically interconnecting adjacent flexible carriers of the functional islands. The solid vias and connection pads are also used to provide electrical communication between the reference plane, signal lines and chips that make up the functional islands, and chips contained on other functional islands, or on the planar. The plural functional islands are removably affixed to the planar by reflowing joining metallurgy on the connection pads of adjacent layers, or by using a compression type connector. The remaining portions of the functional islands are then flexibly placed within the computer system with varying amounts of space between the layers.

Abstract: A stabilizing strap (80) for external use with a shoe (98) includes a plantar strap (82), a first dorsal strap (84), a second dorsal strap (86) and an Achilles strap (94). Dorsal strap (84) is attached at one end to the medial end of plantar strap (82) and at one end thereof dorsal strap (86) is attached to the lateral end of plantar strap (82). Achilles strap (94) is attached at one end thereof to the medial end of plantar strap (82). A ring clasp (96) is attached to the lateral end of plantar strap (82) for receiving the free end of Achilles strap (94) and for cooperating therewith to enable adjustable tensioning of the strap about shoe (98). Eyelets (88) are provided along the edges (90, 92) of dorsal straps (84, 86). A lace (106) is provided to extend between edges (90, 92) of dorsal straps (84, 86) and to be received in eyelets (88) to thus adjustably tension the dorsal straps about shoe (98).

Abstract: Apparatus to provide calibrated frequency modulation (FM) of frequencies generated in a phase-locked loop is disclosed. A phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) which is locked to a loop frequence signal frequency. A modulo-10 divider is included which adds integral multiples of two pi radians of phase to the output signal of the VCO whenever the modulus of the divider is reduced by an integer. This forces the PLL to step change the loop frequency by an integral multiple of the reference frequency. A sampling circuit senses and measures the change in the VCO control voltage resulting from the step change in the loop frequency. The change in the control voltage is a measure of the VCO gain at that frequency. The change in the control voltage is converted to a digital number which is loaded into a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to adjust the gain of the DAC.

Areas of shock absorbing material (22) and (30) cover the posterior and anterior tibial tendon attachment points to cause compression thereof. The Achilles tendon is covered by an area of shock absorbing material (20) that also covers the attachment point of the Achilles tendon into the calcaneal bone. The tendons attached to the great toe on the medial side thereof are covered by an area of shock absorbing material (24) and the tendons attaching to the small toe on the lateral side thereof are covered by an area of shock absorbing material (26).

The other end of the plantar strap (32) is attached to two connecting straps (36) and (38). Two ring clasps (42) and (44) are attached to the end of the connecting straps (36) and (38) for receiving the free ends of the dorsal strap (26) and the Achilles strap (30). A fibrous layer (52) and a hook-like layer (50) are disposed on the exterior of the Achilles strap (30) such that the free end thereof can be pulled through the ring clasp and attached thereto. A fibrous layer (48) and a hook-like layer (46) are disposed on the exterior of the dorsal strap (26) to provide a similar attachment.
