• Luggage lock - US Patent 5713226 Luggage lock - US Patent 5713226 from Patent Storm. A luggage lock is composed of a lock body, a retainer engageable and disengageable with the lock body,

A tubular pin tumbler lock, also known as Ace lock or “axial pin tumbler lock” or “radial lock”, is a variety of pin tumbler lock in which 6-8 pins are arranged in a circular pattern, and the corresponding key is tubular or cylindrical in shape.

J.A. Blake is credited with patenting the first tubular lock in 1833. Walter R. Schlage continued the development of the tubular lock. He was awarded 11 patents, and his improvements made the tubular lock what it is today.

Tubular locks are commonly seen on bicycle locks, computer locks, and a variety of coin-operated devices such as vending machines and coin-operated washing machines.

Security

Tubular pin tumbler locks are generally considered to be safer and more resistant to picking than standard locks, though there are several ways to open them without a key. Even though the pins are exposed, making them superficially easier to pick, they are designed such that after all pins are manipulated to their shear line, once the plug is rotated 1/6 to 1/8 around, the pins will fall into the next pin’s hole, requiring re-picking to continue. As such, picking the lock without using a device to hold its pins in place once they reach their shear line requires over a dozen complete picks to unlock and relock.

Such locks can be picked by a special tubular lock pick with a minimum of effort in very little time; it is also possible to defeat them by drilling with a special “hole saw” drill bit. Standard tubular lock drill bit sizes are .375″ (9.53 mm) diameter and .394″ (10 mm) diameter.[1] To prevent drilling, many tubular locks have a middle pin made of hardened steel, or contain a ball bearing in the middle pin.

In 2004, videos circulating on the Internet demonstrated that some tubular pin tumbler locks could be easily opened with the shaft of an inexpensive ballpoint pen (e.g. BIC brand) of matching diameter. Trade website BikeBiz.com revealed that the weaknesses of the tubular pin tumbler mechanism had first been described in 1992 by UK journalist John Stuart Clark (see Kryptonite lock).

The F-Lock key is on some Microsoft keyboards and a new concept facility for Microsoft Keyboards. The F-Lock key, depending on its state, will allow either a function key’s (i.e. F1 through F12) “normal” operation or a new “enhanced” operation. The initial state of the F-Lock key is “off”, and in this state, the function keys use their “enhanced” operation. In older keyboard models, the F-Lock key state would revert to off after a reboot or keyboard reset. In newer keyboard models, the F-Lock key state is retained.

Many other keyboard manufacturers (such as Logitech and Viewsonic) have now also implemented the F-Lock onto their keyboards. Ironically, however, the F-Lock key commonly appears only on keyboards that already have specific buttons to which the function keys have already been assigned.

Many users have complained sarcastically about programs not closing when they held down Alt+F4 (as holding Alt and F4 will close a program). Alternatively, the many people press F5 when F Lock is off and get the ‘Open’ dialog, rather than getting the usual F5 function (usually ‘refresh’) or pressing F2 to rename a file in Windows Explorer, only to have their last file operation to be ‘undone’.

There are a few companies that have not implemented the F-Lock key, including Labtec.

there are a few ways to disable the F-lock function and revert thing back to normal:
1. Windows Registry change reverting the f-lock usage:

Behavior without Registry change:
when F-Lock light is off - F5 is ‘Open’ dialog
when F-Lock light is on - F5 is Refresh

Behavior with Registry change:
when F-Lock light is off - F5 is Refresh
when F-Lock light is on - F5 is ‘Open’ dialog

AIRail Service is offered by Deutsche Bahn AG in cooperation with Lufthansa, American Airlines and Emirates.

AIRail Service is currently offered between Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (the main railroad station in Stuttgart) and Frankfurt (Main) Flughafen Fernbahnhof (the long distance rail station at the Frankfurt International Airport), and between the latter and Köln Hauptbahnhof (the main railroad station in Cologne).

It enables all passengers between Stuttgart/Cologne and Frankfurt to check in their baggage at the stations and use the ICE high speed train service to Frankfurt (first class for passengers with Business and First tickets, 2nd Class for passengers with Economy tickets) without having to carry their baggage themselves. There is a snack/drink service for passengers in 1st Class - voucher at check in.

All passengers receive their boarding passes for connecting flights on Lufthansa and several other airlines from Frankfurt immediately at the check in counters in Cologne or Stuttgart.

AIRail Service uses the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line (maximum speed of 300 km/h) and between Stuttgart and Mannheim (maximum speed of 250 km/h), rendering the train service faster and more reliable than air transport on the same route.

AIRail Service was established some decades ago, when Deutsche Bundesbahn (now Deutsche Bahn AG) established a direct connection between Düsseldorf and Frankfurt Airport using the DB 403 “Donald Duck” EMU with tilting technology in Lufthansa livery.
In the 1990s they established the Stuttgart-Frankfurt connection after the high speed train line between Stuttgart and Mannheim was opened. Both services were closed due to high cost some years later.
In 2000 they re-established the service between Stuttgart and Frankfurt, now using only some seats in regular cars in standard ICE service.

A lock up period is a predetermined amount of time following an initial public offering during which employees and close associates of the company who are given shares are not allowed to sell those shares. Generally, a lock in period is a condition of exercising an employee stock option.

A lock up period may also be referred to as a lock in, locked in, lock out, locked out, or locked up period. Any one of these variations may be hyphenated, such as “lock-up period”, and variations with out or up may also be joined to form one word, such as “lockout period”.

Foxton Locks are ten canal locks consisting of two “staircases” each of five locks, located on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal about 5 km west of the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough and are named after the nearby village of Foxton.

They form the northern terminus of a 20-mile summit level that passes Husbands Bosworth, Crick and ends with the Watford flight

Staircase locks are used where a canal needs to climb a steep hill, and consist of groups of locks which open directly into each other. Foxton Locks are the largest flight of such staircase locks on the English canal system.

The Grade II* listed locks are a popular tourist attraction and the county council has created a country park at the top. At the bottom, where the junction with the arm to Market Harborough is located, there are two public houses, a shop, trip boat and other facilities. The area is thus ideal for gongoozlers.

The locks

Building work on the locks started in 1810 and was finished 4 years later in 1814. Little changed until the building of the inclined plane resulted in the reduction in size of some of the side pounds.While the inclined plane was in operation the locks were allowed to fall into decline to an extent and in 1908 the committee released £1000 to bring the locks back into full operation.

On the 26 November 2006 boaters blockaded the locks as part of protests against Defra cutting British Waterways funding.

Foxton Inclined Plane

In 1900 an inclined plane was built to the side of the locks. The aim was partly to speed up the passage of boats, but also as part of an effort to allow the passage of wide-beam barges instead of just narrowboats.

It was designed by Gordon Cale Thomas and had 2 tanks or caissons, each capable of holding 2 narrowboats or a barge. The caissons were full of water, and so balanced each other. The lift was powered by a 25 horsepower (19 kW) stationary engine. The land for the project was purchased for £1,595 and with the entire project costing £39,244 by 24 June 1900.

The inclined plane had a journey time of 12 minutes for 2 boats up and 2 down and improved the speed of passage up the hill tremendously. Unlike the locks, where water flowed downhill every time a boat passed through, on the inclined plane almost the same amount of water went up and down the hill. Only the displaced water is moved, thus saving a great deal of water and giving better control of this vital resource.

There was a plan to build a similar inclined plane at the Watford Locks at the southern end of the canal’s summit level. However, this was never carried through, and as the Watford Locks were never widened, the economic benefits of the plane could not be fully realised. Thus, despite its obvious effectiveness, the Foxton Inclined Plane was mothballed in 1911 to save money. After that date it saw occasional use when the locks were undergoing maintenance

In 1927, dismantling of the incline began, so that it could be sold for scrap. That year the chimney on the engine house was demolished and its bricks used for various canal repairs.

The plane today

The remains of the plane can still be seen, and the site explored by visitors (to a limited extent).

In the building alongside the locks, the former boiler house for the plane’s steam engine, there is a small museum covering the history of the locks and the plane, and other aspects of the local canal.

The mooring bollards from the incline can be found alongside the locks.

Restoration

The site of the Foxton Inclined Plane Boat Lift has been recognised as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is on the Buildings at Risk Register. This recognition, together with the steady increase in leisure boating on British canals, means its restoration is now considered a key project in the development of the national waterway network.

The cost of full restoration has been estimated at £9 million (2006 figures), and is to be tackled in a series of stages.

Stage 1 of the project — the clearing of the site and restoration of the canal arms above and below the plane — is already underway. A grant for £1.7 million has been received from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards the £2.8 million cost of this first stage.

Fund-raising is currently underway to raise the money for a full engineering study to determine the best way of recreating a working boat lift at Foxton.

In electronic design, library often refers to a collection of cells, macros or functional units that perform common operations and are used to build more complex logic blocks.

A standard cell library is a collection of low level logic functions such as AND, OR, INVERT, flip-flops, latches and buffers. These cells are realized as fixed height, variable width full custom cells. The key aspect with these libraries is that they are of a fixed height, which enables them to be placed in rows, easing the process of automated digital layout. The cells are typically optimised full custom layouts, which maximise delays and minimise area.

A typical standard cell library contains two main components:

1. Timing Abstract (This is generally in the Synopsys Liberty format)
   This provides functional definitions, timing, power and noise information for each cell.
2. Layout Abstract (Common formats that are in use are the Cadence LEF format, and the Synopsys Milkyway format)
   These contain reduced information about the cell layouts, which is sufficient for automated “Place and Route” tools.

They also may contain the following additional components:

1. A full layout of the cells
2. Spice models of the cells
3. Verilog models or VHDL Vital models
4. Parasitic extraction models
5. DRC rule decks

An example is a simple XOR logic gate, which can be formed from OR, INVERT and AND gates.

Whitchurch Lock is a lock and weir situated on the River Thames in England. The lock is located in the Oxfordshire village of Whitchurch-on-Thames but the weir crosses the river to the Berkshire village of Pangbourne. Both lock and weir are owned and managed by the Environment Agency.

The long serving lock keeper is Brian Butcher who has worked on the river for more than forty years starting as an apprentice engineer for Bert Bushnell’s hire fleet based in Maidenhead in the 1960s.

Access to the lock

Whitchurch Lock is one of the few locks on the River Thames which has no public access other than by boat.

Reach above the lock

The reach passes along the Chiltern Hills, culminating in Goring Gap. On the Oxfordshire side are Hartslock beech woods, named after a lock that was removed in 1910. On the Berksire side is Child Beale Wildlife Park. The Thames Path crosses Whitchurch Bridge into Oxfordshire and continues through Whitchurch away from the river as it goes round Coombe Park, returning to the river at Hartslock. It continues on the Oxfordshire river bank to Goring.

Presto! Recording Studios is located in Lincoln, Nebraska, and run by brothers Mike Mogis and A.J. Mogis. The studio began in the brothers’ North Platte, Nebraska basement and around 1995 moved to the basement of a Lincoln home. First known as Whoopass Recording Studio, the name was later changed to Dead Space Recording. When the brothers moved the studio to its current downtown Lincoln location, they found a vintage Presto brand vinyl recorder left behind by the studio’s former occupant, from which the current name was taken.

Because of Lincoln’s plan to dismantle most of the streets around the facility in the distant future, Mike Mogis is planning to relocate Presto! Studios to a 5,000 square foot indoor basketball court in Omaha, Nebraska. The new studio will be co-owned by Mike Mogis and Conor Oberst. A.J. Mogis has not yet decided if he will be involved.[1]

Sargent and Greenleaf, more commonly known among locksmithing circles as S&G, is a U.S. company that manufactures combination locks, key-operated safe and safe deposit box locks and associated equipment.

The company was established in 1865 when James Sargent and Halbert Greenleaf became partners. A manufacturing facility was built in Rochester, New York, and the company remained in that city until 1975. Since then, the company has been in Nicholasville, Kentucky.

In 1857 Sargent had designed the Sargent’s Magnetic Bank Lock, said to be the first successful key changeable combination lock.

In 1873 Sargent created the first time lock, using parts from eight-day clocks.

In 1880 Sargent connected one of his combination locks to a delay timer, creating the first time-delay combination lock.

Locks are sold around the world through associated distributors.
