A storm-resistant window includes a mechanism for preventing the blowout of a movable sash when wind pressure pulls the sash outwardly. In a single hung window having a slidable lower sash, the mechanism consists of a first rib projecting downwardly from the bottom rail of the lower sash and a second rib projecting upwardly from the top of the sill member of the window frame. In a closed position ...

The battery condition is diagnosed by measuring the weight of acid and/or battery voltage, then depending on the battery condition an initial current pulse or constant voltage charging step is initiated, followed by a succession of alternating current pulse/constant voltage charging steps. Throughout the charging process the battery (8) is diagnosed and the duration of the constant voltage chargin...

An interactive broadcast system comprising a plurality of user interfaces each comprising a local clock signal generator. Each user interface delivers interactive applications to a respective user with reference to its respective local clock signal. A central control system broadcasts data to the user interfaces. The CCS detects adjustment of the local clock signals to identify fraudulent users.
