PAPER-FOLDING APPARATUS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for folding paper. More specifically, theinvention is directed to a paper-folding apparatus that is operable to fold one or more sheets1(i.e., a stack) of paper (or other foldable media) at a time.
＜中略＞
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION＜中略＞FIG. 2A is a side planar view of a paper-folding apparatus constructed in accordance with thepresent invention.

Referring to FIG. 2A, a paper-folding apparatus 10 includes a hopper 12 forholding one or more sheets of paper or other suitable foldable media (not shown, but may include
paper, transparencies, vellum, parchment, linen, photographs, etc.), a discharge feed andstripper assembly 14, a shuttle 16 associated with the hopper operable to transfer a sheet ofpaper from the hopper 12 to the discharge feed and stripper assembly 14, a conveyor 18 that receives
one or more sheets of paper from the discharge feed and stripper assembly 14, and a folding roller
assembly 20 that receives the one or more sheets of paper from the conveyor 18, folds, and thenejects the folded paper(s) from the paper-folding apparatus 10. A driver assembly 22 is provided
that is operable to actuate the shuttle 16, discharge feed and stripper assembly 14, conveyor18, and folding roller assembly 20. A control panel 24 is also provided to permit a user (withthe assistance of control software (as is known in the art)) to manage and otherwise operate
the paper-folding apparatus 10 in an efficient manner.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0001] Conventional turbine engines suffer from several significant limitations that relate
to continuous-stream, mechanical-control delivery systems. These limitations include at least
the following: (1) fuel combustion is less efficient than it would be if fuel wereintroduced into the combustion chamber in droplets rather than via a continuous stream; (2) there
may be inefficient fuel distribution throughout the combustion chamber, a marked contribution
to the already-inefficient combustion; (3) the exhaust gas often contains unburned fuel, which
may contribute to air pollution; (4) the control systems often do not permit the operator tocontrol the fuel delivery process in relation to important operating variables (such as flow
rate, air consumption rate, load changes, etc) as precisely as may be desired; (5) the systems
can be difficult to operate and maintain; (6) the control system can be complex because of many
moving parts; (7) the systems can add unwanted weight to the turbine, which is particularly
problematic in aviation applications; (8) the delivery and control systems can be expensive tomanufacture and/or assemble because of their complexity and close mechanical tolerances; and(9) the response time is inherently slow because the systems are mechanical systems.
[0002] This invention is designed to overcome these limitations through two principal features.
First, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber in pulses, using a fuel injector, rather
than in a continuous-stream delivery system.

問３．次の文を日本語に翻訳してください。なお、翻訳にあたっては図面を参考にし、翻訳文にもパラグラフ番号をつけてください。
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS[0011] Preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to theaccompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of a storage device according to a first
embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of Fig.
1.
[0012] Figs. 1 and 2 show a storage device 10 according to one embodiment. The storage device
10 comprises an outer housing 12 which has an inlet/outlet opening 14. A catch bracket 16 isarranged below the opening 14 for catching and holding a CD ROM ejected from the device 10 aswill be described in more detail hereinafter. The bracket 16 is pivotally coupled to the housing
12 and in particular to a boss section 18 which defines the opening 14. The bracket 16 may have3

a longitudinal slot 20 in which the CD ROM can register so that the CD ROM is supported when
the CD ROM is ejected through the opening 14 onto the bracket 16. The housing 12 is generally
defined by a base section 21, a lower housing section 22 and a top housing section 24 (Fig. 2),
in which an unshown carousel for storing a great number of CD ROMs is housed.
