  • Publication number: 20180292982
    Abstract: The present embodiment relates to an information creation and dissemination software tool for use with online external resources comprising of a flowchart graphic with user interface, which integrates rich media detail for use in a collaborative space. The collaborative space may be, personalized by a plurality of users and stored within the collaborative space domain. A plurality of users in the collaborative space may access or create informational and decisional elements, create and string text, access websites, and tag individual users within the collaborative space. Further sharing includes identifying information, video, audio, pictures or editing, following the contributions of multiple users in the collaborative space by using search methods such as text or tags.

  • Publication number: 20070193379
    Abstract: A scale for calculating a remaining time that gas remains in a cylinder. An electronic scale calculates an actual tare weight of the gas in the cylinder using the total weight of the cylinder with the gas and the weight of the cylinder when empty. The remaining time that gas remains in the cylinder is calculated by the scale using the flow rate of the gas and the actual tare weight of gas in the cylinder. Further, the scale may calculate a percentage of the gas remaining in the cylinder using the actual tare weight of the gas in the cylinder and the maximum tare weight of the gas for the cylinder. By estimating the remaining time that gas remains in the cylinder in this manner, the scale is able to measure gas in pressurized cylinders over a wide range of capacities.

  • Patent number: 4271893
    Abstract: A window blind cord control apparatus for controlling the disposition of a set of two or more closely gathered cords extending out from an opening in a headrail and extending longitudinally through the headrail to separate positions where they are respectively attached to a window blind for raising and lowering the blind, including a headrail comb defining an array of parallel slots for receiving and guiding the gathered cords, for placement within the headrail near the opening from which the cords extend for preventing the gathered cords from becoming raveled within the headrail; and a cord collector for collecting the cords extending out from the opening in said headrail. The cord collector includes a multiple spool reel for respectively winding the cords on separate spools; a spring for biasing the reel for winding the cords onto the spools; a sleeve for gathering the cords; and a cord collector comb defining an array of parallel closed-end slots for receiving and guiding each of the gathered cords.
