Title: Method and apparatus for automotive seat position adjustment and locking
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER HUGH CHARLES
IPC: B60N2/08
Filed: 1998-07-27
Abstract: An automotive seat adjustment and locking mechanism provides a rack (217) and pinion (229) seat track assembly (100) in which stepless position-adjustment is provided by rotary drive to the pinions either manually or by means of drive. The manual drive incorporates a stepless mechanical lock (210) for defining a seat-adjusted position. The pinion (220) of the seat track assembly is of ring format and has a roller-type locking mechanism (224) at its inner periphery (222) which is releasable by a lever mechanism (238, 240). This locking mechanism is located between the side plates (112, 114) of the seat slide as an integral part of the slide whereby strength is greatly increased. Similar locking facilities may be provided for backrest rake and seat height. Embodiments use a spring lock (228, 230) and a roller lock (224, 226). In one embodiment under overload (impact) conditions a shear pin in the drive allows tha rack and pinion ring gear to shift causing pivoted locking arms to move to locking positions thereby taking over the locking function and avoiding the need for massive strength in the drive train.

Title: Application of spacers to liquid crystal device via a transfer member
Inventor: BANNISTER ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: G02F1/1339
Filed: 1999-03-31
Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a ferroelectric liquid crystal device, the following steps are applied in order to effect spacing apart of two substrates 13 and 14 by spacers 15. The spacers 15 are applied to a surface of a transfer member 26, and the transfer member 26 is then pressed onto a receiving surface 29 of one of the substrates 13 (Figure 4). In one embodiment, the transfer member has raised portions 28 for receiving the spacers. The transfer member 26 is then removed so as to transfer the spacers 15 from the transfer member to the receiving surface 29 at the required positions (Figure 5). Finally the other substrate 14 is pressed onto the spacers 15 on the receiving surface 29 so as to form an assembly of the two substrates spaced apart by the spacers (Figure 6). Such a sequence of steps enables the spacers to be placed in the required positions in a particularly straightforward manner, whilst minimising the number of fabrication steps used in the process.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain recorded images of stable image quality even if the surface potential of a photoreceptor fluctuates by detecting the surface potential of the photoreceptor prior to projection and exposure of the images after charging and controlling an exposure means in accordance with the detection signal thereof. CONSTITUTION:A potential sensor 7 is driven by a potential detecting circuit 8 to detect the surface potential of a photoreceptor 1 prior to projection and exposure of images after charging and transmits the detected information to the circuit 8. In accordance with said information, the circuit 8 outputs the information on the surface potential of the photoreceptor to a control circuit 9. The circuit 9 opens a gate at a specified timing prior to irradiation of an irradiating lamp 4, accepts the output of the circuit 8, and outputs the information to a control circuit 10 for the irradiating lamp so that the lamp 4 irradiates light. If the irradiation of the lamp 4 is controlled in such a way, less influences of noises, etc. are affected than by controlling the quantity of light of the lamp 4 during one time of projection and exposure of images and the recorded images of highly stable and excellent image quality are obtained.
