Abstract: Modulation by optical valves (Vb, Vv, Vr) of three beams originating from a main (W) or auxiliary (W') primary beam of depolarised and collimated light, is done by means of two secondary beams of white light (Wp, Ws; W'p, W's) which are mutually perpendicular, linearly polarised and mutually perpendicular. The undesirable colour components are deleted so as to constitute the three colour beams constituting the colour image. By virtue of the invention, the geometric and spectral quality of the image is independent of the main or auxiliary primary beam, and the image is as powerful as that obtained by the conventional projection method. The auxiliary beam may serve as a backup or may be adapted for a night projection. <IMAGE>

Title: Electronic control for turf maintenance vehicle.
Inventor: LONN DANA R
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 1992-12-17
Abstract: The present invention provides for an automated clip control device for maintaining a predetermined clip at varying ground speeds, heights of cut, and other changed conditions. The reel speed of the mower 10 is controlled based upon a feed-back control loop, using as input the ground speed of the mower 10, the actual speed of the reel 48, 50, and 52, the number of blades on the reel, and height of cut, among other factors. A microprocessor 102 uses control process equations to determine the duration of an output pulse width modulated signal which is provided to a valve 702, 706 controlling hydraulic fluid flow to the reel motor 71-75. The target value of the reel speed is determined by reading the desired height of cut value and the number of blades per reel, and then going to a look-up table which contains optimized "linear distance traveled per time grass is cut" values. Once the appropriate look-up table target value is found, the target reel speed is determined by finding the product of the number of blades on the reel times the target clip times the ground speed times a constant (to correct for units).

Abstract: This invention relates to the controlling of the travel of a crawler vehicle and aims at resolving the issue of making a crawler vehicle travel on an ungraded land with the crawlers effectively gripping the road surface. According to the present invention, the loads imparted to crawlers (12FL, 12FR, 12RL, 12RR) are detected, and, on the basis of the results of this detection, the sum of the loads on a pair of crawlers (12FL, 12RR) at the front left and rear right sides of a vehicle and the sum of the loads on a pair of crawlers (12FR, 12RL) at the front right and rear left sides thereof are computed. When a difference between the sums thus computed has become not lower than a predetermined level, it means that diagonal stack occurs. In such a case, the pivots (14) of a pair of crawlers having smaller loads are driven in a direction in which the loads imparted to the same crawlers increase, so that the floated pair of crawlers contact the road surface, these crawlers thus capable of providing an effective driving force. This invention is used mainly when a natural disaster rescue crawler vehicle travels on an outdoor ungraded land.

Title: Magnetic locks.
Inventor: SEDLEY BRUCE SAMUEL
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 1993-04-16
Abstract: A magnetic key operated lock has an anti-rap arrangement which comprises a magnet pin (13) supported in a bar (16) mounted in a slide member (1). The remote end of the pin (13) fits into an aperture (17) in a locking plate (3) and is pivoted to swing downwards out of the aperture (17) when a correctly coded key is inserted into the lock. The correctly coded key has a repelling spot to pivot the magnet as required and before the key attempts to move the slide member from its locked position shown in the figure. Rapping on the face of the lock cannot move the remote end of the magnet pin (13) out of the aperture (17) because it is restrained by its pivoting action from moving laterally out of the locking plate. Another anti-rap arrangement is described with respect to the other drawings and a padlock incorporating both anti-rap arrangements is also described.

Title: Method and apparatus for preparing a fibrous batt
Inventor: MORTON KEITH L
IPC: D06N3/00
Filed: 1993-04-23
Abstract: A process for providing a relatively smooth, tough, elastomeric coating over one surface of a fibrous batt employs a heated ironing surface which engages an uncured coating of a composition of cross-linkable elastomeric aqueous emulsion applied as a foam or froth to an exposed surface of a fibrous batt. The heated belt causes dewatering and cure of a film of the coating which is in contact with the ironing surface. The fibrous batt thereafter is heated in a curing oven to drive off substantially all of the moisture and substantially cure all of the elastomeric coating composition. The resulting coated fibrous batt has a smoother and tougher surface than similar batts formed from similar compositions without the interposed ironing treatment. A preferred ironing element comprises a continuous stainless steel belt.

Abstract: An inertial trigger mechanism (10) for a vehicle safety device, e.g. the gas generator of a seat belt pre-tensioner, is provided with a safety lever (50) to prevent triggering of the device. The mechanism (10) also comprises: a detonator (42); an ignition pin (22), urged towards the detonator (42) by a spring (28); a mass (30) and its biassing spring (32); a pivotable trigger lever (34) which holds the pin (22) in position with a hook arrangement (38) and is prevented from pivoting by contact (40) with the mass (30). During sudden deceleration, the mass (30) moves relative to its casing (12) allowing the trigger lever (34) to pivot so releasing the ignition pin (22). However, when the safety lever (50) is engaged, e.g. during calibration, the trigger lever (34) cannot pivot, and the ignition pin (22) is immobilised even if the mass (30) moves. Push-type and rotation-type safety levers are proposed. In the former, the lever (50) is moved into engagement by linear movement of the lever (50,54,A); in the latter this is achieved by rotation of the lever shaft (52) to bring the safety lever (54) into engagement with the trigger lever (41).

Abstract: An epitaxial cobalt silicide film is formed using a thin metal underlayer, which is placed underneath a cobalt layer prior to a heating step which forms the silicide film. More specifically, a refractory metal layer comprising tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, or a silicide thereof, is formed overlying a silicon substrate on a semiconductor wafer. A cobalt layer is formed overlying the refractory metal layer. Next, the wafer is annealed at a temperature sufficiently high to form an epitaxial cobalt silicide film overlying the silicon substrate. Following this annealing step, a cobalt-silicon-refractory metal alloy remains overlying the epitaxial cobalt silicide film. This silicide is then used to form a shallow P-N junction by dopant out-diffusion. First, either a P or N-type dopant is implanted into the silicide film so that substantially none of the dopant is implanted into the underlying silicon substrate. After implanting, the dopant is out-diffused from the silicide film into the underlying silicon substrate at a drive temperature sufficiently high to form the desired P-N junction.

Abstract: A scroll type compressor comprises a fixed scroll (1) having an end plate (1a) and a spiral element (1b). The spiral element of the fixed scroll is integrally coupled to the inner wall (1d) of a housing. A movable scroll (9) has an end plate (9a) and a spiral element (9b), and faces the fixed scroll, with a plurality of fluid pockets formed between the movable scroll and the fixed scroll. When the movable scroll makes an orbital movement around the axis of the rotary shaft, refrigerant gas is led into the fluid pockets from outside the movable scroll. As the fluid pockets move toward the center of the movable scroll the fluid pockets decrease in volume, thereby compressing the refrigerant gas. A suction chamber (12) which receives the refrigerant gas from outside the housing is formed between the movable scroll and the inner wall (1d) of the housing. A passage (1f) is formed in at least one of the inner wall of the housing, the connecting (1e) section and the end plate of the movable scroll. This passage permits the refrigerant gas to flow into the fluid pockets from the suction chamber in order to reduce any difference in pressure of the refrigerant gas in the suction chamber and in the fluid pocket.
