20090108953MULTI-JUNCTION WAVEGUIDE CIRCULATOR WITH OVERLAPPING QUARTER-WAVE TRANSFORMERS - An improved multi-junction waveguide circulator overlaps two quarter-wave dielectric transformer sections so that the transitional sections occur concurrently in the same length of waveguide. Consequently, the two quarter-wavelength sections require a total length of between one-quarter wavelength and one-half wavelength, with no air gap between the two sections along the length of the internal cavity. The improved waveguide circulator can be implemented in variations from a minimum of two ferrite circulator elements held in close proximity to one another to any number of ferrite elements as required to achieve the desired isolation performance or to create a switch matrix with any combination of input and output ports. The improved waveguide circulator minimizes the length of the transitions between adjacent ferrite elements and thus reduces losses, component size, and mass.04-30-2009

20080223091CABINET-STYLE LOCK BOX HAVING A LOCKING MECHANISM - A locking mechanism includes a lock and first and second movable members. The lock has a body and a shank, but does not have an exposed shackle. The body defines a slot which opens to an outward surface thereof. The shank is movable within the body between a locked position where the shank is within the slot and an unlocked position where the shank is not within the slot. The second member is disposed within the slot of the lock and is operatively associated with the first member. In operation, when the shank is in the locked position, the shank prevents the second member from moving within the slot of the lock, thus substantially preventing the first member from moving. When the shank is in the unlocked position, the second member is able to freely move within the slot of the lock, thus allowing the first member to move.09-18-2008

20100324948MANAGING EVENT TIMELINES - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for managing event timelines. Embodiments of the invention can be used to generate a dynamic task list (or progress indicator) that shows what tasks have been completed, tasks that can be done now, and remaining tasks. Thus, the task list acts as a guide and a measure of progress. The task list also increases the chance that tasks are completed in the proper order. Accordingly, the configuration of a task list provides utility to both experienced, professional producers as well as the do it yourself producer. Users can use the task list to drive their event management or they can ignore it.12-23-2010

20090201287SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ADAPTIVELY FILTERING PARAMETRIC DATA FOR DISPLAY - A system and method are provided for accurately rendering one or more parameters on an electronic display without being distractive. The system and method provide for adaptively filtering parametric data prior to rendering images representative of the parametric data on a display. Relatively heavy electronic filtering is applied to the parametric data when the parameter is relatively constant, whereas relatively lighter electronic filtering is applied to the parametric data as the parameter changes at ever increasing rate of change magnitudes.08-13-2009
