The invention system is an automated system for creating, storing and using registration and itinerary records to provide security to participants. The system automatically monitors itinerary records and prompts the initiation of security response actions such as a telephone call to a participant provided contact person if a participant fails to cancel an itinerary prior to a stated itinerary completion time. The system is also able to receive payment and maintain a current payment status for the participant until a set time of expiration or until the participant fails to cancel an itinerary prior to a stated itinerary completion time.

Liquid flow bubble release device

A wind guard is adapted for mounting on the upper edge of a vertically movable window of a motor vehicle, such as an automobile. The wind guard is preferably composed of a flexible plastic material and has an inverted U-shape so that it can be slipped onto the window and adjusted vertically thereon to provide the desired amount of window opening.

A load cell includes base and load receiving members connected together by a pair of parallel flexures to form a parallelogram configuration. One of the flexures has at least one strain gage secured thereon, along with a cantilevered stop member positioned between the base and load receiving members. The stop member is suspended between the ends of a pair of adjustable set screws threadably mounted in the base and load receiving members to provide for an overload and underload protection of the load cell. Additional adjustable set screws are strategically placed in the load cell to further provide for the selective adjustment and redistribution of stresses sensed by the strain gage whereby the same electrical signal will be produced independent of the location of a load along a longitudinal axis of the load cell or a second axis perpendicular thereto. Thus, the load cell cannot be overstressed and can be adjusted to provide the same weight readout regardless of the position of the load on a platter secured on the load receiving member.

Load cells with overload protection and moment adjustment means

A transducer adapted for load cell applications comprises a base having a load receiving member connected thereto by at least one and preferably two flexure springs to permit the member to flex relative to the base. A sensing beam, having one or more strain gauges secured thereon, is mounted in cantilevered relationship on the base and has a free end positioned adjacent to the member for engagement therewith to sense the load imposed on the member to produce a variable electrical output signal in response to the magnitude of the load. An adjustment is preferably provided to selectively adjust a point whereat a sensing tip mounted on the member engages the sensing beam whereby the output signal can be selectively adjusted to vary the weight capacity of the transducer.

Force transducer

Control apparatus for recording first wanted signals of an input signal having the first signals and second unwanted signals, each of the second signals being of a time duration up to a predetermined maximum and each of the first signals being of any time duration greater than the predetermined maximum, including a circuit, responsive to the input signal, for automatically distinguishing the first signals from the second signals as a function of time duration, and a circuit for producing recorder control signals to record each of the first signals and to prevent recording of the second signals.

Control apparatus for selectively recording signals

A self-propelling toy comprises a ball-shaped housing having a tubular support member rotatably mounted therein. A weight is secured to and suspended from the support member and at least one rubber band is attached between the support member and the housing for storing-up and releasing energy therefrom when the rubber band is wound-up and the ball released.
