International Classification:

G08B 1900

US Classification:

340 522

Abstract:

An electromechanical lock includes a housing containing a microcontroller, a power source, a cam, and a locking lever for holding a U-shaped lock bar in a closed, locked position within the housing. The lock further includes several buttons on the housing for entering a sequence of alphanumeric characters of a combination code and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for showing the alphanumeric characters, independently, when entering the code. Messages may also be displayed, including advertisements and company logos, upon completion of a correct code entry to open the lock. The microcontroller stores one or more combination codes and message data and controls actuation of the cam, upon entry of the correct combination code, to momentarily release the lever from the lock bar, allowing the lock bar to be pulled out from the housing, thereby opening the lock. In another embodiment, the lock is further provided with a transceiver and an antenna for wireless communication with a provider of the lock, thereby allowing the provider to change and/or update stored message data and to remotely program and manipulate data stored on the microcontrollers of a large number of the electromechanical lock units throughout a vast geographical area of distribution.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715758, 715230

Abstract:

In various embodiments, a method includes receiving a request to initiate recording of media content of an event. The method also includes controlling capturing of the media content by a capture machine in response to the received request. The method includes opening a chat session among one or more persons that are listeners or viewers of the event being captured, wherein the opening is in response to the request to initiate recording of the media content. The chat session comprises one or more entries that include a chat input from the one or more persons and a timecode of the chat input. The method includes receiving a request to stop recording of the media content of the event. The method also includes combining at least a subset of the one or more entries of the chat session with the media content using the time code of the one or more entries.

US Classification:

428/212000, 428/515000, 428/523000

Abstract:

A plastic masking film comprises at least two layers, an outer layer having sufficient surface energy to ensure the adherence of paint, and an inner layer providing cling to a surface. The outer layer comprises a corona-treated thermoplastic material having a surface with a surface energy greater than 50 dynes/cm. at the time of manufacture and which remains at a minimum of 35 dynes/cm. until use. The thermoplastic material of the outer layer comprises one or a combination of members selected from the group consisting of ethylene vinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and high density polyethylene. The inner layer comprises high density polyethylene. Desirably, the film also includes a central core layer formed of one or a combination of polyolefins, preferably low-density polyethylene or linear low-density polyethylene, compatible with the inner and outer layers. A mineral or other particulate filler can be incorporated in the outer layer to improve the adhesion of paint or coatings to the plastic surface.

Appl. No.:

9/166992

Inventors:

James J. Craig - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

G01N 3122

US Classification:

422 59

Abstract:

The device includes a housing having a main body including an analysis chamber with at least one chemical reagent composition contained therein and a vessel portion for receiving and capturing a fluid specimen taken from a beverage. The device is structured to transfer the captured fluid specimen from the vessel portion to the analysis chamber wherein the chemical reagent composition, when exposed to the fluid specimen, performs a visible presumptive color assay to determine whether undesirable substances, such as fulnitrazepam, sodium gamma hydroxybutyric acid or caffeine, are contained in the beverage. One or more windows are provided on the housing for viewing the results of the visible presumptive color assay. The fluid specimen and one or more chemical reagent compositions remain contained within the analysis chamber to prevent contamination of the beverage as well as tampering with the captured fluid specimen.
