Abstract: Enhancements to a video anticopying process that causes an abnormally low amplitude video signal to be recorded on an illegal copy. The enhancements in one version introduce into the overscan portion of the television picture, just prior to the horizontal or vertical sync signals but in active video, a negative going waveform that appears to the television receiver or videotape recorder to be a sync signal, thereby causing an early horizontal or vertical retrace. One version provides (in the right overscan portion of the picture), a checker pattern of alternating gray and black areas which causes the TV set on which the illegal copy is played to horizontally retrace earlier than normal in selected lines with a consequential horizontal shift of the picture information on those lines. This substantially degrades picture viewability. In another version a gray pattern at the bottom overscan portion of the picture causes vertical picture instability.

The flexible string and the hollow handle may be encased in a hem at the top of a bag wall or within the fold at the top of a double-wall bag. Or the flexible string along may be encased within a hem or fold at the top of a bag and captured within the handle.

Abstract: A liner for a cargo container and a method of installing a liner inside a cargo container. The liner comprises an inflatable body and left and right connecting strips that are connected to the liner body. The left connecting strip extends along and laterally projects outside a bottom left edge of the liner body, and the right connecting strip extends along and laterally projects outside a bottom right edge of the liner body.

Also disclosed is a method of fluidizing a bulk cargo inside a lined cargo container to facilitate unloading the cargo from the container.

Abstract: A reusable bag incorporating a foldable support structure, used for containment of item(s) for carrying by a person, comprising a bag made of a flexible, durable material removably attached to a pair of essentially U-shape, semi-rigid support members, that extend under opposite ends of the bag and up opposite sides at an angle which causes them to intersect just above the mouth of the bag where they are swingably attached to a rigid handle which straddles the mouth of the bag. Attached to the inside of the bag is a rigid bottom panel which lies horizontal on the bottom of the bag when in use and drops to a vertical position when the bag is inverted for folding. Two closure straps with snaps, located on one end near the top edge of the bag whose corresponding snap components are located on the opposite end, are used to maintain the bag in a folded condition. By virtue of this configuration, this bag is free-standing and stable whether empty or full, and may be folded flat when not in use.

Abstract: A bag structure having a semirigid drawstring closure which passes through a hollow handle. The semirigid drawstring holds the mouth of the bag open so that articles can be easily deposited. A shoulder strap is attached to the handle. The shoulder strap and handle are provided for carrying as well as suspending the bag. A flexible tubular material partially inverted creates the double wall of the bag and a fold at the bag mouth. The fold contains the drawstring and the handle, and an additional seam is not required to encase the drawstring. The flexible tubular material is preferably a mesh. Mesh provides a strong bottom seam, which is preferably created by lacing a cord through the mesh openings in the four layers of material. Also, the transparency of the mesh enables an optional product tag to be trapped within the double wall of the bag and visible.

Abstract: A hamper bag is removably-mounted by a supporting base defined by a pair of opposing scissor-linkages. The hamper bag includes a pair of rods inserted through its upper lip, which rods are used to hold the hamper bag open on the supporting base by extending the rod-members over dowel-members interconnecting the upper portions of the pair of scissor-linkages, such that the rods are overhung relative to the dowel-members. The upper portions of the slats forming the scissor-linkages serve to prevent the removal of the sides and, therefore, the bag without first moving the rods away and up from the dowel-members to clear the dowel-members. The hamper bag may be carried separately or together with the collapsed supporting base.

Abstract: A transportable liner for use in a live well is disclosed, for transporting the catch, such as fish from the live well.
