Abstract: A sign in which multiple scenes are presented in sequence is comprised of a plurality of juxtaposed rotationally driven display units that are assembled with triangularly-shaped hollow sleeves whose side panels (14-18) are constituted by transparencies on each of which there is a portion of a different complets scene. There are adapters (30) on the upper and lower ends of the display units which have bushings for allowing the juxtaposed display units to be journaled for rotation on a stationary light transmissive tubes that serves as axles. The tubes are retained at their lower ends in a row of equally spaced apart and collinear bores and they are retained at their upper ends by a plate which also has a corresponding row of bores that provide for stabilizing the upper ends of the tubes and for maintaining them in perfect alignment and spacing. The units are driven rotationally in synchronism by means of an electric motor that provides the power input to mechanical elements which interlock all of the display units mechanically to assure that they rotate in and remain in synchronism such that when corresponding panels of the display units, which panels each represent a portion of a scene, are rotated into coplanar and stationary position the scene is formed for visualization.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement is shown for providing enhanced sealing for the edge of a window pane (8) for the window opening in the upper part of the door of a vehicle body. In the case where the door carries no frame for the window, the sealing arrangement is carried by the frame (12A) of the door opening. The sealing arrangement comprises longitudinally extending lips (36,38) defining a shallow groove (40) between them, and in the base of which groove are formed apertures (50). When the window pane is in the closed position, suction is applied via a pipe (49) to the groove (40) through holes (50), and ensures that the lips (36,38) are in enhanced sealing and supporting contact with the periphery of the window glass (8). The lips (36,38) and the groove (40) are formed in an outside wall of a chamber (30) to which pressure can be applied so as to force the lips (36,38) towards the window pane (8). The pressure in the chamber (30) and the suction in the chamber (34) can be controlled in synchronism with the raising and lowering of the window pane (8) and with the opening and closing of the door.

IPC: H05B3/00
Filed: 1994-06-29
Abstract: This present invention takes advantage of the understanding that the voltage rating associated with resistive heating element (13) can be ignored over the common line voltage range, provided the power dissipation is controlled. This is accomplished by applying a fractional amount of power to a heating element (13) from the power source. The method consists basically of determining (31, 32), or estimating, a ratio of the amount to be applied to the amount of power available. A control signal is generated (33) with a duty cycle approximately equal to that ratio. A zero crossing switch (12), under control of the control signal switches half cycles to the heating element (13). Thus, by applying a portion of the available half cycles to the heating element (13), the average power dissipation by the heating element (13) can be controlled.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a method and structure of decreasing the silicon bandgap of the base of a bipolar junction transistor. The method comprises the step of providing a semiconductor substrate having a base region with a silicon bandgap. The substrate further includes performance characteristics such as a current gain, BV ceo  and BV cbo  breakdown voltages, and a maximum operable temperature. Subsequently, the base region is implanted with a dose of a dopant, preferably Ge. Once doped, an annealing step is performed such that the base's silicon bandgap is substantially reduced, thereby increasing the BJT's current gain, BV ceo  and BV cbo  breakdown voltages, as well as its maximum operable temperature, while decreasing the base resistance R b  and transit time.

Abstract: A method for locating underground cylindrically symmetrical magnetic sources, particularly boreholes, from magnetic field measurements. The method is based on the shape of magnetic field produced by magnetic materials with cylindrical axes. As the field caused by the magnetic source always points away from or towards its cylindrical axis, lines extended from magnetic field vectors caused by the magnetic source will always pass through the axis. Numerical techniques are used to find the common line to all the extended magnetic field vectors and thus calculate the axis of the magnetic source.

Abstract: A lock-out device (60) for an apparatus which guides strips of material (12) toward a tire-building drum and which maintains the strip centered by compensating for minor variations in strip width. A pair of guide rails (20,21) are adjustably mounted on a support housing and contain strip-engaging rollers (22) which form a guide path for the strip moving therebetween. A pantograph linkage (35) is mounted on the housing and connects the guide rails for simultaneous movement of the rails toward and away from each other. A biasing mechanism (50), such as a spring or weight, biases the rails toward each other and the rollers into guiding engagement with the edges of the strip (73), and enables the guide rails to automatically move inward or outward to compensate for variations in strip width. The lock-out device (60) includes a pressure-actuated piston (64) which engages one of the guide rails, and when actuated, moves both rails apart and out of engagement with the longitudinal edges of the strip until the leading edge of the strip (16) has been aligned and wrapped partially on the drum (11), and an angled front edge of the strip has moved beyond the guide rollers. The piston then is retracted and the biasing mechanism is operatively engaged with the guide rails to maintain the strip centered as it moves between the rails and around the tire-building drum.
