Abstract: A friction winding shaft for winding strip materials onto cores (16) has a driven core shaft (20), friction rings (12) surrounding the core shaft and radially acting clamping elements (24). In operation the clamping elements apply radial force to friction elements (28) moving with the shaft which press the friction rings outwards to grip the core for torque transmission. Torque transfer between the friction rings and friction elements is less than the torque transmitted between the friction rings and the winding core ensuring the core is always gripped by the friction rings when the shaft is being rotated.

Abstract: A balance-to-single signal converting circuit of the
present invention includes an anti aliasing filter
comprising an operational amplifier supplied at a non-inversion
input terminal with a voltage obtained by
dividing a power source voltage, for example Vdd, by
resistors coupled between a power source and, for example,
a ground. Each resistors may have a resistance value about
twice as large as that of a resistor coupled between an
inversion input terminal of the operational amplifier and
the output of the operational amplifier. Accordingly, a
balance-to-single signal converting circuit can be
constructed without inputting to the AAF a reference
voltage from a reference voltage generating circuit which
is supplied to a switched capacitor filter.

Title: Laser plane generating system and method
Inventor: HAMAR MARTIN R
IPC: G01C15/00
Filed: 1998-12-30
Abstract: A laser generator is provided having a rotating scanner
head within which a target is mounted. The target is a position
sensitive cell which is used to buck the laser generator into a
pre-determined reference plane. The laser generator is used in
conjunction with passive reflectors which do not need any circuitry
to be operated. In operation, the laser generator scans a
generated laser beam to define a laser plane. The reflectors are
disposed to define the reference plane. As the generated laser
beam impinges upon a reflector, the laser is re-directed back to
the scanning head where it impinges upon the target. The
impingement upon the target indicates the relative position and
angular orientation relative to the reflector. In response to
acquired data, the position and angular orientation of the laser
generator may be adjusted to be aligned with all of the reflectors,
resulting in the scanned laser plane being bucked into the
reference plane.

Abstract: A method and system for batch loading a stored value application of a
microprocessor based stored value card includes a stored value card reader/writer
connected to a local computer device and a batch-load application running on the
same computer device which securely stores load key information and emulates the
remote functions of an on-line load transaction. The computer also has a security
module for storing load key information and an encryption device. Communication is
initiated on the card reader at the local computer device between the stored value
application and the batch-load application, and an off-line batch-load transaction is
performed in which the load key information is validated and a funding source is also
validated. An authorizing message is sent by the batch-load application to the stored
value application with data representing a pre-selected monetary value. The batch-load
application collects load transaction data and generates a load transaction file to a
system provider and a funding source.

Abstract: A system for restricting access to transmitted programming content is disclosed, which
transmits a program identifier with the encrypted programming content. A set-top terminal or similar
mechanism restricts access to the transmitted multimedia information using stored decryption keys.
The set-top terminal preferably receives entitlement information periodically from the head-end,
corresponding to one or more packages of programs that the customer is entitled to for a given period.
Each program is preferably encrypted by the head-end server prior to transmission, using a program
key, KP, which may be unique to the program. The set-top terminal uses the received program
identifier, p, together with the stored entitlement information, to derive the decryption key necessary to
decrypt the program. Each of the k-bit program keys, KP, used to encrypt transmitted programs is a
linear combination of a defined set of k-bit master keys, m1 .... mn. The head-end server preferably
generates a new set of master keys for the matrix, M, once per billing period. Since each program key,
KP, is a linear combination of the set of master keys, M, a customer desiring r programs, obtains
access to the smallest linear subspace of programs, U, that contains those r programs. In addition, a
package consists of (2i- 1) program identifiers for some i less than n, which need not all be assigned
to programs. An optional check matrix, C, allows the set-top terminal to determine, in advance,
whether a received program is in the entitled subspace, U.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus ( 10 ) for sheet thermal print media.
The image processing apparatus ( 10 ) comprises a vacuum imaging drum ( 300 ) for
holding thermal print media ( 32 ) and dye donor material ( 36 ) in registration on the
vacuum imaging drum ( 300 ). A printhead ( 500 ) moves along a line parallel to a
longitudinal axis of the vacuum imaging drum ( 300 ) as the vacuum imaging drum
( 300 ) rotates. The printhead ( 500 ) receives information signals and produces
radiation which is directed to the dye donor material ( 36 ) which causes color to
transfer from the dye donor material ( 36 ) to the thermal print media ( 32 ). The
printhead ( 500 )is mounted on a movable translation stage member ( 220 ) that
moves in its travel path, guided along by translation bearing rods ( 206 ,  208 ) that
are magnetically held to a frame ( 202 ) for straightening by holding magnets ( 528 ).
To minimize the friction caused by magnetism used for straightening these
bearing rods, the translation stage member ( 220 ) is provided with one or more
magnets ( 524 ) that provide a repulsive force against holding magnets ( 528 ). As a
further embodiment, the printhead ( 500 ) is magnetically held in place on the
translation stage member by means of printhead holding magnets ( 144 ). To
provide a bearing surface (having a low frictional coefficient) that allows
movement of the printhead ( 500 ) for focus and angular adjustment, each printhead
holding magnet ( 144 ) is provided with a bearing cap ( 146 ).

Abstract: A plate feed apparatus (10) has a cylindrical pick-up
head (38) having a predetermined number of pick-up
units (40) spaced about its periphery. The pick-up head
(38) is attached to and rotates with a first shaft (42)
at a first rotational speed. A feed mechanism (28)
places the uppermost plate in a stack of plates a nominal
distance from the periphery of the pick-up head (38) each
time a plate is removed from the stack. A vacuum device
(44) is selectively coupled to each pick-up unit (40) as
it passes over the stack to pull the outermost plate away
from the stack and into contact with the pick-up unit. A
second shaft (62) has a cylindrical bore which rotatably
journals the first shaft (42) and is offset from the
centerline of the second shaft. The second shaft (62) is
rotated counter to the first shaft (42) at a speed which
is a multiple of the speed of the first shaft equal to
the number of pick-up units (40). This causes the speed
of the pick-up unit (40) to be slower and its distance
from the uppermost plate in the stack less each time a
pick-up unit picks up a plate. The feed mechanism has
fingers (88) which are inserted under the stack of plates
before the stack becomes depleted to keep advancing the
stack as plates are removed and allow the feed mechanism
platform (26) to be lowered to receive a new stack of
plates. A microprocessor based controller (58) directs
this activity without disruption of the feed mechanism.
