A composite structure and article of manufacture for a detachable carrier for beach badge or pool tag are disclosed. In various embodiments, a composite structure having a clip, a strap and a body arranged as a carrier for a metal pin badge that can be easily attached and detached in its entirety is disclosed. The composite structure further comprises front and back sides and an inner layer. At the top of the composite structure, the strap forms a larger loop that is used to attach the composite structure to a clip or device. At the far end of the composite structure, the beach badge is mounted onto the composite structure by inserting the metal pin of the badge through one of the insertion point created by one or more delimiters.

Detachable carrier for beach badges/pool tags

A video monitor color control system including means for calibrating the intensity response of CRT phosphor sets to each of a plurality of electron gun control levels. Provided is a processor (24) that generates a sequence of discrete DAC signals, each DAC signal identifying an electron gun and a DAC value for driving the electron gun at a selected control level. Also provided is a monitor driver (22) connected to the processor (24) and to the monitor (20) and controllable in response to a DAC signal for driving the electron gun identified by the DAC signal at the control level identified by the DAC signal. The driven electron gun excites the associated phosphor set. A sensor (28) is provided for detecting the luminous intensity level of the phosphor excited by the electron gun, and for converting the detected intensity into a representative signal. The processor (24) receives for each discrete DAC signal the representative signals produced by the sensor and generates a look-up table for each gun defining intensity levels for each of the plurality of electron gun control levels.

Video monitor color control system

The colorimetric parameters of a color sample (42) that is illuminated by a reference light are processed for reproduction by a video monitor (20) or the like. A color filter assembly (40) and associated sensor (28) are used to generate signals indicative of the colorimetric parameters of the illuminated color sample (42). A computer (24) transforms the signals into a form suitable for driving a video monitor (20) to reproduce the color sample (42) on the monitor screen.
