Appl. No.:

5/524378

Abstract:

An apparatus for altering the position of a video image, such as an image produced by a video camera, video tape recorder or other image producing device utilizing a raster type scan, without rescanning of the originally generated image alters, by a precise amount, the phase of a video camera or playback device with relation to the overall system or plant sync, while maintaining exact sync timing relationships for all timing pulses fed to the video camera or playback device. The video from the camera or playback device is processed so as to restore its blanking and sync timing to match the timing of other video sources within the system. The horizontal and vertical sync pulses fed to the camera or playback device, such as a video tape recorder, which generates the original image or raster have their phase shifted to accomplish movement of the original image by generating the horizontal and vertical sync pulses from a color subcarrier while keeping phase lock to the sub carrier with the phase shifted sync being reinserted in the picture portion of the original picture signal while the original picture sync is deleted and made to look like a picture signal. This phase shifted sync effectively moves the picture to the left or right or up or down to reposition the image.

Abstract:

A shoe is provided with a reversible heel counter so the shoe can be selectively used as either a slipper or a regular shoe. An inclined slit is placed in each of the quarters, running from the upper edge toward the lower corner of the quarters adjacent the edge that will be joined to the other quarter. The slit is restitched with a zigzag stitch to form a butt joint which acts like a hinge. The quarters are then joined. A generally parabolic shaped heel counter is fastened over the joint, at the upper edge of the quarters, with the tip of the heel counter depending towards the bottom of the quarters where the insole attaches. The hinge line in each of the quarters adjacent the heel allow the heel counter to be selectively positioned down against an insole of a shoe to be used as a heel seat to form a slipper. When the heel counter is positioned upright in a heel counter position, a regular shoe is provided.

Abstract:

A window or door is constructed to accept one or more intermediate pieces which may be used for adjusting the depth of the window or door. The intermediate piece includes, on one side, a first hook and an outrigger, and on the other side, a second hook and structure defining an outrigger receiving slot. The intermediate pieces lockingly and securely mate with the interior and exterior sections of the windows or doors.
