Filed:

Dec 17, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/465801

Inventors:

David K. Biegelsen - Portola Valley CA
Joseph M. Crowley - Morgan Hill CA
Alexander E. Silverman - Sunnyvale CA

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G02F 1167

US Classification:

156245, 264246, 2642978, 264 17, 335306, 345 85, 345 86, 156500

Abstract:

Methods and systems consistent with the present invention can be used to assemble composite rotatable-element components and can be used to form a laminate substrate system, and use a plurality of rotatable-element components or rotatable-element component material of two classes. Each class is defined by a common response or responses to incident electromagnetic radiation of interest. The method for assembling a composite rotatable-element component comprises: dispersing a plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class to first preferred positions on a first carrier; dispersing a plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class to second preferred positions on a second carrier; performing a first manipulation of the first carrier and the second carrier such that one of the plurality of rotatable-element components of a first class and one of the plurality of rotatable-element components of a second class touch at a first contact point; and performing a second manipulation of the rotatable-element components that touch such that they bond to form a composite rotatable-element component. The method for assembling a laminate substrate further comprises: performing a third manipulation of the first carrier and the second carrier such that they touch at a set of second contact points; and performing a fourth manipulation of the first carrier and the second carrier such that they bond to form the laminate substrate.

Filed:

Feb 9, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/013178

Inventors:

Joseph R. Crowley - Reno NV

International Classification:

G07F 510

US Classification:

273 29BB

Abstract:

A coin- or token-operated game duration controller for a game utilizing a net stretched across a court between a pair of posts. The controller is attached to one of the posts and comprises an electrically driven winch winding and unwinding the net cord cable for raising the net at the beginning of a game period and for lowering the net at the end of a game period. The electric motor is controlled by a coin or token operated switch and timer. The invention requires no modification or alteration of conventional existing net support posts.

Appl. No.:

6/747709

Inventors:

Joseph R. Crowley - Reno NV

International Classification:

B65B 304

US Classification:

141 18

Abstract:

The portable refillable inflator for air mattresses, inflatable balls, pneumatic tires and the like, in the form of a tubular vessel provided at each end with an inverted domed wall. One wall is provided with a conventional tire inflation valve for filling the vessel with compressed air, and the other domed wall is provided, with an outlet valved nozzle having a flexible tubular body through which extends a stem attached to a disk disposed within the vessel and normally fitting against an annular seat. Upon deflection of the flexible nozzle body, lateral displacement of the stem causes the valve disk to uncover a portion of the seat thus permitting air to escape from the vessel through the outlet nozzle.

H04W 84/04
H04W 8/18

Abstract:

The system and method to allow a cellular enabled device that lacks two-way satellite communication to receive incoming calls over a satellite network where the mobile terminating call is initially addressed to the cellular mobile phone number. In one embodiment, the system and method allows the cellular device to appear as a device roaming on a satellite network or sub-network. In another embodiment, the system places a call forward request to a satellite enabled device, where the call forward request is transparent to the user.
