Title: Dialing apparatus for displaying stored character with reduced key operations
Inventor: NORIMATSU NORIKO
IPC: H04M1/2748
Filed: 1993-04-21
Granted: 1997-06-10
Abstract: A dialing apparatus comprises a keypad (21) having digit keys for entering a digit corresponding to a set of characters and a function key (SND). Character strings and corresponding digit strings are stored in a memory (23). In response to a digit from the keypad, a controller (20, 24) makes a search through the memory for detecting each one of characters of the set which corresponds to the digit and detecting character strings each containing the detected character. The detected character strings are then sequentially supplied to a display unit (22) from the memory so that they are displayed one at a time. When the command key is operated, the character string being displayed on the display unit is identified and the digits stored in the memory corresponding to the identified character string are dialed to a switched network.

Title: Rotary printing machine
Inventor: KOCH DIETER
IPC: B41F13/12
Filed: 1993-04-23
Granted: 2004-08-17
Abstract: In a rotary printing machine with directly driven cylinders and at least one directly driven folding unit (12), those drives of the cylinders and their drive controllers which can be assigned to a paper web are combined to form printing-station groups (2). The printing-station groups (2a-d) are connected to one another, to the folding unit (12) and to the operating and data-processing unit (1) via a data bus (3). Within the printing-station group (2), the individual drives of the cylinders and their drive controllers are connected via a high-speed bus system. The printing-station groups (2a-d) acquire their position reference directly from the folding unit (12). The master control system (1) is now responsible only for the presetting of desired values and desired-value deviations and the processing of actual values. The division of the overall control system into a master control system and autonomous printing-station groups (2) achieves that simplicity, flexibility and robustness in respect of faults which is necessary for producing a directly driven rotary printing machine.

Inventor: ROSELIEP ROBERT E
IPC: B23B43/02
Filed: 1993-12-22
Granted: 1997-11-18
Abstract: A shell-type internal broach assembly including a number of annular insert mounting shells interleaved with a number of annular spacers, and mounted on an arbor.  The annular insert mounting shells are sufficiently short so as to permit the use of travelling-wire EDM manufacturing methods.  As a result, inserts can be precisely and accurately located and secured to the annular insert mounting shells,  thereby presenting a highly repeatable broaching configuration to a workpiece.  The precision by which the annular insert mounting shells are formed also promotes concentricity of the annular insert mounting shells, which further promotes the accurate and precise placement of the inserts relative to the longitudinal axis of the arbor.  The use of the annular spacers also effectively reduces the cost of the internal broach assembly, in that the simple cylindrical outer surface of the annular spacers are less expensive to manufacture than the complex surface features necessary to accurately receive the inserts on the periphery of the annular insert mounting shells. The number and length of the annular spacers used can be varied in according with the strength required by the inserts to resist deformation by the cutting forces.
