| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6460467 | Model train control method A system which operates a digitally controlled model railroad transmitting a first command from a first client program to a resident external controlling interface through a first communications transport. A second command is transmitted from a second cli... | 10/08/2002 |
| 6307375 | Seismic activity predictor in proximity with the earth including a dielectric for receiving precursor seismic electromagnetic waveforms A method of detecting precursor seismic electromagnetic waveforms and predicting future seismic activity in the form of an earthquake by placing a detector including a dielectric material in contact with the earth. The detector receives at the dielectric ... | 10/23/2001 |
| 6131329 | Fishing lure and selection method An exemplary fishing lure includes a blade having on its rear-facing or inner surface one or more detail elements, such as an eye-shaped marking or dot, behind which is a background surface finish. Desirably, the detail element contrasts in underwater sha... | 10/17/2000 |
| 6091767 | System for improving efficiency of video encoders An encoder receives a video input that includes initial video data and encodes the initial video data as encoded video data, such that the encoded video data comprises fewer bytes than the initial video data. The encoded video data is transmitted through ... | 07/18/2000 |
| 6088066 | System for temporarily displaying monochrome images on a color display The system for viewing color video "automatically" enables and disables a color killer circuit (monochrome/color mode) so that the color video may be viewed in monochrome. Enabling and disabling the color killer circuit for the current system may be accom... | 07/11/2000 |
