Appl. No.:

09/323356

Inventors:

Stephen Harry Dwyer - Woodbury MN
Kollin Ignatius Schammel - Eagan MN
Sheila Gerette Dwyer - Woodbury MN

Assignee:

Fridge Frame Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

G09F 712

US Classification:

40594, 40600, 40107, 40772

Abstract:

A magnetically mounted display board has a rear surface providing magnetic support, a display panel which removably holds flat articles for display, and a transparent protectant for viewing and protection of the displayed articles. The display panel and the transparent protectant are bound together with a binding tape. This allows one to display photos, childrens artwork, calendars, post cards and other flat articles on a refrigerator in a creative, organized and protected fashion.

US Classification:

360 3, 3405721, 369 531

Abstract:

The disclosure is directed to techniques for transferring data files representing a digital motion picture to a motion picture system within a theater in a single step. More specifically, the techniques allow a user to press one button to initiate the transfer, or upload, of a plurality of data files stored on a data tape to a predetermined location within a data storage device within the theater. The single input from the user frees the user from completing the plurality of steps needed to manually select a desired data file from the data tape and find the location to transfer the data file. Instead, the data tape or user system may automatically identify the entire plurality of data files and the predetermined location at which to store the plurality of data files. The techniques facilitate the distribution of motion pictures from motion picture studios to theaters using magnetic tape media.

US Classification:

710304, 710303

Abstract:

A docking system for interfacing with a host computing device and for receiving a plurality of data storage components including a non-tape data storage media and an electrical contact. The docking system includes a primary station and an auxiliary station. The primary station includes an electrical connection device configured to interface with the host computing device and a primary station electrical coupling element. The auxiliary station includes a corresponding electrical coupling element selectively coupled with the primary station electrical coupling element and further includes at least one socket configured to selectively receive one of the plurality of data storage components. The docking system is configured to provide the host computing device with access to the non-tape data storage media via the electrical connection device, the primary station electrical coupling element, the corresponding electrical coupling element of the auxiliary station, and the electrical receptor of the auxiliary station.
