Appl. No.:

8/279413

Inventors:

International Classification:

H04L 1200

US Classification:

395500

Abstract:

An option attach connector has a first indicator bit combination that alerts the device that a public switched telephone network connection has been made to it. The presence of the first indicator bit combination is a signal to the device that telephone, FAX, and E-mail communications applications are to be conducted over a PSTN link. The presence of the first indicator bit combination invokes the stored computer program to display images of menus, keypads, and visual presentations on the LCD display that are consistent with a basic display layout for both cellular telephone network and PSTN modes, but that include customized presentation features that are unique to the PSTN mode of communications. The presence of a second indicator bit combination different from the first indicator bit combination invokes the stored computer program to display corresponding images of menus, keypads, and visual presentations on the LCD display that are consistent with the basic display layout for both cellular telephone network and PSTN modes, but that include customized presentation features that are unique to the cellular telephone network mode of communications.

Appl. No.:

6/684669

Inventors:

David E. Rasmussen - Thornton CO
Bruce A. Moen - Golden CO

Assignee:

Adolph Coors Company - Golden CO

International Classification:

H05B 340

US Classification:

219349

Abstract:

A device for heating a plurality of radiant absorbers which utilizes a source of radiant energy in conjunction with a plurality of curved reflective surfaces. The reflective surfaces function to provide a device which directs essentially all of the radiation emitted by the radiant source onto the radiant absorbers. High efficiency is obtained as well as the ability to heat more than one radiant absorber simultaneously. Reflective surfaces can comprise, in general, curved surfaces, multiradius surfaces, or portions of ellipses.

US Classification:

425526

Abstract:

A reheating and blow molding system utilizing an indexing plate having pairs of core pins mounted on the periphery. Radiant heaters heat parisons mounted on the core pin to a temperature suitable for blow molding while the parisons are rotated in response to movement of a spin belt. Rotation of the parisons during heating provides greater uniformity of heating. Tapered shanks remove the core pins from core pin holders and dispose the parisons in a mold for blow molding. The core pins are then disposed in the core pin holders and indexed to a subsequent indexing location where the finished article is removed.
