Abstract: The improved image recording apparatus comprises a
light-sensitive material supply section having a loader of
a magazine containing a roll of a light-sensitive material
in a lightproof case and a withdrawing device for
withdrawing the light-sensitive material from the magazine;
a cutter for cutting the light-sensitive material into
sheets; an image recording section which has a scanning
transport device for transporting the cut sheets of light-sensitive
material for scanning and an exposing device by
which the light-sensitive material is exposed to recording
light modulated in accordance with digital image data; a
transport device which transports the light-sensitive
material from the cutter to the scanning transport device
and which transports the as-exposed light-sensitive
material to a next step; and a back printing section which
is provided midway the path of transport of the light-sensitive
material by the transport device to record a back
print on the non-recording side of the light-sensitive

Abstract: There is provided an image decoding apparatus for decoding
a coded image signal having an image identifier based on a data
structure of the image signal. This apparatus comprises a data
analyzer for analyzing the coded image signal with reference to
the image identifier to decide whether the coded image signal is
a coded arbitrary shape signal including both of coded shape bit
streams obtained by coding a shape signal which represents the
shape of each object as one of the components of a display image
and coded pixel value bit streams obtained by coding a pixel
value signal representing the gradation of the object, or a coded
binary signal including only coded shape bit streams obtained by
coding a shape signal representing a display image of binary
information; a first decoder for decoding the coded shape bit
streams by a first decoding process; and a second decoder for
decoding the coded pixel value bit streams by a second decoding
process. The first decoding process and the second decoding
process are appropriately switched according to each coded image
signal. Therefore, plural coded image signals having different
data structures and produced by different coding methods can be
decoded in decoding processes corresponding to a single coding
method.

The lid has one or more structures (4) to be used by an apparatus to open and close the cap cover. The cap (1) has one or more centering units (5), to fix the position of the reagent vessel in the analysis apparatus. In an Independent claim the indicating reagent is taken from the vessel by a pipette, and the cover is opened and closed for the pipette access. After each reagent extraction, the pipette is cleaned in a washing station. Preferred Features: The cover is opened and closed by a mechanical system. The cover has a projection which, in the closed position, engages in a recess as a ratchet lock, and gives a pressure sealing between the cover and the upper edge of the reagent vessel. The cover has an inner sealing insert, of an elastic material, with contours to hold it axially in the cap. It has sealing lips between the cap and the cover and between the cap and the opening into the vessel. The sealing insert has structures (8) within the cap, to allow cap rotation on the reagent vessel, and give an effective seal with reagent vessels having openings of different shapes. The angled hinge at the cap (1) secures the cover in the open and closed positions. The cap (1) has a marking such as a barcode to show a given cap orientation on the vessel. The reagent vessels for a given test have caps of the same color. The cap is made of one or more thermoplastics.

Abstract: A shifter assembly assembly (10,10A) for a shifting vehicle transmission
via a telescopeable transmission shift cable is provided. The shifter assembly
includes a base (8), a shift lever (11'13A) pivoted to the base, a cable-actuating
arm (21) pivotally attached to the shift lever and adapted for operative
connection to the transmission shift cable, and a coupler (22) for securing the

the cable-actuating arm is secured to the shift lever. A manual, pawl-biased
actuator (33,33',34) on the shift lever is adapted to engage the coupler to move
the coupler from the installed position to the interlocked position when the
transmission cable is at a desired position. The shifter assembly includes a park
lock device or a brake-ignition-transmission-shift-interlock (BITSI) device (18)
for controlling movement of the shift lever out of park, and further optionally
includes a pull wire (35A) that renders the BITSI device inoperable until a
desired time during assembly, at which time the pull wire is pulled to make the
BITSI operable.

Abstract: Solar wing positioning methods are provided which favorably
reduce seasonal variation of generated power in a satellite
while simultaneously managing the composite system influence
that off pointed solar wing operation imposes on the satellite.
The composite system influence includes environmental torques
and may also include other system influences such as wing-to-body
thermal radiation, thruster plume impingement and antenna/sensor
field of view encroachment. In the simplest method
embodiment, the solar wings are tilted asymmetrically from a
nominal position to reduce seasonal power variations and are
further tilted symmetrically to generate a solar pressure
torque component which, on a diurnal average basis, compensates
a gravity gradient torque component that is substantially generated
by the net, off pointed configuration of the wings.

form of a generally planar molded member made from insulating material with opposed
planar surfaces (66, 68) a leading edge (60) and a trailing edge (62). The planar
surfaces (66, 68) have an array of lands (74) separated by deep grooves (82) extending
transversely of the molded member and located at the leading edge (60). The lands
(74) project above the remainder of the planar surfaces (66, 68) and have shallow
grooves (80) in their outer surfaces which alternate with the deep grooves (82). The
deep grooves (82) of one planar surface (66, 68) are positioned to register with the
shallow grooves (80) in the lands (74) of the other surface (68, 66). The leading edge
