A protective overlay including an oblong band (12) of a folded, thin, flexible material, which is laid-onto the seat surface (4) of a toilet seat (3). The band (12) has a turned down edge (15) that is swung into a protruding position when the band (12) is unfolded. The band (12) also has two areas (17, 18) differently folded and tensing differently during unfolding in the longitudinal direction of the band (12).

A computer system includes a touchpad with one or more overlays providing the computer system with various input control functions. The overlay preferably includes tactile response elements to provide tactile feedback to the operator as an indication that a portion of the overlay has been pressed. The touchpad includes a capacitive sensor. Electronics coupled to the touchpad determine which portion of the touchpad sensor surface area has been touched or pressed. The amount of tactile feedback to...

Disclosed is an overlay accuracy measurement mark used in measuring an overlay accuracy between any two selected device patterns in a semiconductor device having two or more multi-patterns. The mark is applied to a semiconductor device comprising a first pattern which is first formed, and second patterns consisting of at least one or more target patterns for alignment with the first pattern, which are formed after the formation of the first pattern. The mark includes a first overlay measurement ...

There is disclosed an electrode for overlay welding made up of laminations. All of the laminations are composited to be hot workable; and they may be austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, duplex structures that are hot workable, or pure metals such as chromium. The combined composition of all laminations, when they are melted and resolidified, will contain at least 2%w of delta ferrite.

A steering wheel "after-market" overlay, having a unitary, integral, relatively stiff, thin-walled construction, is adapted to be adhesively applied to and closely conform to the surface of the upper portion of an original equipment steering wheel. The overlay covers not only the upper portion of the steering wheel grip but also the upper portions of the steering wheel spokes up to the center pad of the steering wheel. The portion of the overlay covering each spoke has an radially inner terminus...

The present invention consists of an overlay for the front surfaces of credit, debit, ATM and similar transaction cards. The overlay is designed in such a manner that it allows the cardholder to customize the appearance of the front surface of the cardholder's cards without affecting the operability of the card. The overlay of the present invention may be easily fabricated with a number of designs, ranging from artistic designs, to personal photographs, to political, religious, humorous, or othe...

A video overlay image converter to perform various functions of shifting, inverting, rotating, and mirroring a picture image as displayed on a personal computer without increasing the load of the CPU, in real time, and with ease, by adding an image converter between the video controller and the image memory of the personal computer. The converter includes a video RAM for storing luminance and chrominance of the picture image; a video controller for storing data on the image memory or controlling...

A shoe including a sole; an upper with a pair of first slits and a pair of second slits; a lace; an adhering band set having a number of pins formed on corresponding ends; a first cover element which is combinable with the shoe through the pair of first slits, the first cover element including a first strap having two first limbs with first wedge-shaped ends, a number of first eyelets for receiving the lace, a number of elongated slots which correspond to the number of pins of the adhering band ...

An improved overlay proofing film comprising a substantially transparent polyester base film which is first coated on one or both sides with a non-light sensitive composition having a refractive index of about 1.6, said non-light sensitive composition consisting essentially of a copolymer of polymethyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid.

An overlay molding press which includes a pair of oppositely disposed jaw members. Each jaw member is provided with an elongate shoulder extending therealong and each jaw member has a forming surface extending its length with an edge of the surface at the shoulder of the jaw member. The forming surfaces of the two jaw members collectively form a mold cavity. The jaw members are rockable about an axis extending where their shoulders meet to produce a folding together of their forming surfaces and...
