Abstract: The present invention is a melt-on-demand printhead (20) that keeps the entire solid ink supply (24) at room temperature until it receives a print command, then it rapidly applies a distributed heat over a large surface area of the ink supply (24) without the aid of thermal conductors to transport the heat. A portion of the solid ink (24) melts and travels into the drop ejector (28) that expels an ink drop to the medium within seconds of when the printhead (20) received a print command. The melt-on-demand thermal ink jet printhead (20) has a solid ink supply (24), a drop ejector (28) located near the solid ink supply (24), and a thin-film solid ink heater (38) located near a large surface area of the solid ink supply (24) that it rapidly heats.

Abstract: A disk drive package (10) includes read/write circuits, a disk drive mechanism and a microprocessor (36). The microprocessor (36) has a dedicated function input (34) and an interrupt input (38). The dedicated function input (34) is accessible through an external connector (20) in the disk drive package (10), but the interrupt input (38) has no direct external access. The microprocessor (36) is programmed to examine the dedicated function input (34) only upon power-up to determine if it has been enabled. The disk drive package (10) is modified to include a circuit (40, 42, 44, 46) that couples the dedicated function input (34) to the interrupt input (38) to the microprocessor (36). A power supply (30) provides a power fail imminent signal to the dedicated function input (34), and because the dedicated function input (34) is connected to the interrupt input (38), such signal causes an interrupt to occur in the operation of the disk drive whereby any write to disk in progress is completed prior to a power fail event.

Abstract: In a rotary head type reproducing apparatus, such as a digital audio tape recorder (DAT), display changeover operation, key scanning operation and/or a sensor scanning operation are inhibited during the periods TPB-A, TPB-B when a rotary head is contacted with a magnetic tape for reproducing signals, and the display changeover operation is performed during time periods TDS1 to TDS4 outside of these periods TPB-A, TPB-B, while the scanning operations are performed during a time period TSC. An error rate may be improved because noises due to display changeover or scanning may be eliminated during the time the magnetic head is contacted with the magnetic tape for signal reproduction. The result is that a shielding or the like may be eliminated and the display section or switches may be mounted in proximity to the rotary head to render it possible to reduce the size or weight of the apparatus.

Abstract: A detector system for sensing the presence of a toxic gas, such as carbon monoxide, and sounding an alarm. The presence of the gas is detected by passing light through a biomimetric sensing material that darkens in the presence of the gas. The system includes a housing containing a light emitter, a light detector and a mechanism for sounding an alarm. The sensing material is contained in a cell, which, together with a battery to power the system, are mounted in a drawer insertable into the housing, which has openings permitting ambient air to reach the sensing material. When fully inserted, the drawer positions the cell between the emitter and detector and brings battery contacts into connection with contact s for the light emitter and alarm. Both the battery and sensing material must be replaced periodically, typically about once every three years. The drawer is configured so that it cannot be inserted without a battery in place. Both the battery and cell are easily replaced in the drawer. A microporous filter is preferably placed between the cell and ambient air to prevent contamination by large airborne particles.

Abstract: A motor vehicle steering column including a steering shaft (112), a steering wheel having a hub (94) thereon, and a lateral thrust attachment between the steering shaft and the hub of the steering wheel. Lateral thrust between the hub (94) and the steering shaft (112) is induced directly by a rod (130) on the hub which laterally traverses the end of the steering shaft. The rod has a frustoconical body (136) which seats in a correspondingly shaped notch (118) in the steering shaft so that bodily movement of the rod relative to the notch induces the aforesaid lateral thrust between the hub and the steering shaft.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system for managing an external application in response to a user's selection of an item in a compound document which is displayed by a client application. The managing system includes an application manager and a file manager which are simple in construction because there is no need for them to communicate directly with the external application; rather, they simply monitor the external application. In response to user selection of an item in the compound document, the client application copies the selected item to an external temporary file and sends the temporary file name to the application manager. Based on the file name, the application manager associates an external file to the application, launches the external application, issues polling requests for activity of the external application, and outputs the file name to the file manager. In response to outputting of the file name from the application manager, the file manager commences monitoring activities of the external file to determine whether it has been modified, and, in addition, returns a pointer for the external file to the application manger. The application manager returns the pointer for the external file to the client application, and in addition returns a pointer for the external application. Upon receipt of these pointers, the client application instructs a windowing operating system to display a window for the external application. By virtue of this arrangement, a full-featured compound document capability is provided in which it is possible to perform all conventional windowing tasks such as close down or re-focus of external applications, and close down or iconization of the client application, all without any specialized communication to the external application or the external file.

Abstract: Techniques for employing a television set and a television set controller as the control interface for devices which themselves do not have display capability and for services provided via the telephone network. The techniques involve control apparatus which is connected to the telephone network and a television set and is responsive to inputs from a hand-held controller for the television set. The control apparatus outputs a screen which contains control selections to the television set and the user employs the controller to make a selection. The control apparatus then performs the control function specified by the selection. One application is a telephone messaging system: integral with the control apparatus is a system which can answer calls and store voice messages, fax messages, character-string messages, and script messages. The control apparatus plays the voice messages on the television set and provide screens to the television set which display the fax and character-string messages. The script messages contain code which the control apparatus executes to produce displays. Services provided by the telephone network are controlled and displayed analogously. The services may also involve other devices connected to the control apparatus. The control apparatus may further be used with supplemental output devices such as printers and supplemental input devices such as fax machines, electronic pads, and keyboards.
