Filed:

Apr 20, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/828870

Inventors:

Michael E. Hirsch - Cherry Hill NJ, US
Douglas R. Bray - Medford Lakes NJ, US

Assignee:

Sea Gull Lighting Products, Inc. - Riverside NJ

International Classification:

H01R 33/00

US Classification:

362651, 362222, 362260, 362649

Abstract:

A fluorescent adapter having a housing including a tip contact compatible with an electrical socket, a threaded ring contact compatible with the electrical socket, the ring contact surrounding the housing and rotatable with the housing when the housing is rotated in a first direction and not rotatable with the housing when the housing is rotated in an opposite direction, and a fluorescent ballast supported by the housing and having input electrodes in electrical contact with the tip contact and the ring contact, respectively, and output electrodes for removably receiving the contact pins of a fluorescent lamp. The adapter is easily inserted into the socket but is not removable after insertion.

Appl. No.:

12/345191

Inventors:

Michael Hirsch - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

455431, 4554221, 455296, 455 631

Abstract:

A system and method are provided for preventing lapses of communication in radio voice communications. The system may include a communications transceiver for transmitting signals through a communications antenna. A protection antenna, which may be isolated from the communications antenna, may obtain a received signal from a remote transmitter. The received signal may contain a signal of interest that may be combined with interference from the communications the communications transceiver. A protection receiver, coupled to the protection antenna, may obtain a sample of a transmit signal from the communications transceiver. Using the sample of this transmit signal, the protection receiver may remove the interference from the received signal to obtain the signal of interest. If it is determined that a communications channel is blocked, the protection receiver may store the transmit signal and later retransmit the stored transmit signal when the communication channel is unblocked.

International Classification:

H01J 5/48

US Classification:

313318010

Abstract:

A fluorescent lamp includes a ballast releasably connected to an adapter in a bayonet style connection. The adapter includes a locking tab for preventing removal of the adapter from an electrical socket once the adapter has been installed in the electrical socket. The fluorescent lamp has a lamp tube. The lamp tube is preferably connected to a base in a manner to minimize the total height of the fluorescent lamp. The lamp base is preferably provided with a recess in which contact pins are connected to the lamp base. The lamp may be directly connected to the ballast. The lamp tube may be arranged in a coil having a greater radial outer extent than the base or than the ballast.

International Classification:

D61N 500

US Classification:

178695

Abstract:

An apparatus and method in which the amount of movement of a boundary in one or more dimensions on a dynamically movable structure or a series of sequential visual representations of said structure is measured. The boundary movement is measured by the degree of shiftable movement between light and dark areas. The motion may be analyzed and quantified in terms of linear motion or area change and an electrical analog of such motion is generated in format suitable for recordation by conventional reproducing or display mechanisms, as for example, a conventional chart recorder. In one embodiment, movement in one dimension, e. g. a linear dimension, is detected but not necessarily quantified. In another embodiment, the movement in the linear dimension is detected and measured so as to provide a quantification thereof. In a further embodiment the movement is measured in at least two dimensions to provide quantification of area changes.
