Abstract: A broadcast receiving device includes a table storage component, a viewing control acquisition component, a first determination component and a table production component. The viewing control acquisition component acquires program viewing control information including a column number and a row number. The first determination component determines whether or not to satisfy one of a column determination condition that the column number is greater than a first specific number of a first viewing control table and a row determination condition that the row number is greater than a second specific number of the first viewing control table. The table production component produces a second viewing control table having a number of columns corresponding to the column number and a number of rows corresponding to the row number when the first determination component determines that one of the column determination condition and the row determination condition is satisfied.

Abstract: The present invention provides a grave lining system comprising a casing which defines an enclosure which may be divided into a number of vertically stacked modules or compartments, each capable of receiving an individual coffin therein, the system further comprising a lid which allows repeated access to the enclosure defined by the casing, without requiring the disturbance of any flowerbed or the like provided above the lid.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods of burial using a columbarium pod are disclosed. In one embodiment, a burial system includes a water ballast control system, a stabilizing system, an identification system, a position registration system, and a mapping system. The system may include a plurality of tubes, each tube configured to store a plurality of containers, each container retrievable after burial. The plurality of containers may include, for example, a cremation urn container, and one or more additional containers that store DNA-based biological material of the deceased, memorial materials or the like.

Abstract: An apparatus for placing a camera therein for use underwater includes a waterproof housing, a door, and a flat panel that is disposed at one end of the housing, the flat panel being transparent and extending throughout the one end. The camera includes a viewing lens that is adapted for placement adjacent the flat panel. A CD or cassette tape player provides a source of sound that is played through a pair of speakers for simultaneous recording of sound and images on a videocamera. A push button waterproof switch is attached to a cable, the cable is adapted for placement over a record button of the videocamera.

Abstract: A container has a fill material which consists of a mixture of super absorbent material, a biocide or neutralizing agent, and a fragrance. The container also includes a top member having a membrane member which allows fluids to be communicated with the fill material and air can be escape from the container to indicate that a reaction has occurred between the fluids and the fill material.

Abstract: The invention comprises a liner for an interment container and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. A plastic layer and a layer including fiberglass are laminated to each other to provide advantages provided by neither material alone. An acrylic material layer between the plastic layer and the fiberglass layer prevents or minimizes delamination.

Abstract: A memorial vault apparatus for human cremated remains which includes a concrete slab having a top level surface. A first set of elongated parallel cylindrical pipes are supported on top of the level surface with each adjacent pair of pipes being equidistantly spaced from each other. Each of the pipes of the second set of pipes are perpendicular to each of the pipes of the first set of pipes to form a grid work for receiving vaults in the spaces formed between the first and second set of pipes. A saddle connector is provided for attaching each of the pipes of the second set of pipes to each of the pipes of the first set of pipes. This saddle structure has a first semi-circular surface thereon in abutment with the top of one of the first set of pipes and a second semi-circular surface in abutment with the bottom of one of the second set of pipes and the saddle structure is adhesively cemented to the pipes at the point which the saddle structure abuts the pipes.

Abstract: An assembly is shown, which provides a framework that fits in an excavation such as a grave, including two side frames that exert considerable horizontal pressure against two end frames by means of eight horizontal adjustable screws and integral bearing means to produce a rigid frame adapted for carrying heavy surface loads for example, machinery for lowering a casket into the grave and providing a support for a platform for mourners adjacent to the grave for those wishing to approach closely to the graveside. The load on the rigid frame and including any load from the platform supported on the frame is transmitted to bearing pads supported on the floor of the excavation to eliminate, insofar as possible, injury, and/or embarrassment caused by the caving in of the walls of the excavation while at the same time making it possible to provide a much neater appearing gravesite than would be attainable without the framework.
