Patent EP-0316114-A3 (EP)
Title: Wiper blades, spring elements and articles including such spring elements
IPC: F16F1/36
Filed: 1988-11-03
Abstract: A wiper blade (10), e.g. for a windscreen of a motor vehicle, comprises an elongate flexible spine (13) from which projects a blade (11) for wiping a surface. The spine has pairs of opposed abutment faces (76) spaced apart along at least a part of the length of the spine and which move toward and away from each other with flexing of the spine. Resilient biasing means (30,65,67) are interposed between the opposed abutment faces so that, in use, when the wiper blade engages a surface which causes the wiper blade to be deformed from its natural configuration, the resulting deformation of the resilient biasing means assists in holding the wiper blade against the surface.   The invention also concerns a spring element (80) and articles, e.g. a door closure, including the spring element which comprises an elongate flexible member (81). Pairs of opposed abutment faces (84) are spaced apart along at least a part of the length of the member and which move toward and away from each other with flexing of the member. Resilient biasing means (85) are also interposed between said opposed abutment faces so that, in use, when the spring element is deformed from its natural configuration, the resulting deformation of the resilient biasing means assists in urging the spring element to return toward its natural configuration.

Title: Article having a pliable portion which is to be elastically secured about the periphery of a member
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1989-03-20
Abstract: The pliable portion of the article (80) has a first end portion (1) and a second end portion located at opposite ends of the encircling portion of the article. The first end portion (1) includes an elasticized fastening system (120) having at least one segment (15) which is capable of being elastically shirred along at least a portion of its length. The shirrable portion of the segment (15) comprises an elastomeric member which, prior to the securement of the first and second end portions of the article to one another, is maintained in a prestretched and tensioned condition in the desired direction of shirring. The opposed ends of the shirrable segment in the article (80) are interconnected to one another through the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member. The prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member is maintained in tension by securing it in fixed relation to at least one rigidifying member (28) to form a composite structure which is strong enough to resist collapse in a direction parallel to the tensile forces acting upon the prestretched and tensioned elastomeric member. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the rigidifying member (28) has a fixed portion (30) permanently secured to the first end portion (1) of the article (80) and a releasable portion (32) which can be separated from the first end portion of the article. The releasable portion (32) of the rigidifying member (28) preferably includes means for securing it to the second end portion (2) of the article (80), and the act of affixing the releasable portion (32) of the rigidifying member (28) to the second end portion (2) of the article (80) automatically releases the tension in the prestretched elastomeric member. Elasticized fastening systems of the present invention can be produced at high speed from continuous webs and cut into discrete segments which are transferred onto a continuously moving web at predetermined points along its length, all while the elastomeric member is maintained in its prestretched and tensioned condition by the rigidifying member.

Title: Car body for railway rolling stock and method of fabricating car body
IPC: B61D17/04
Filed: 1989-05-23

provides a railway car body 
of reduced weight and which can withstand a variation 
of external pressure by provision of a construction in 
which the underframe (10) under the car body has a 
curved surface having at least one or more radii of 
curvature across the width of the car body.
Patent EP-0364186-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01L27/108
Filed: 1989-10-09
Abstract: The described embodiments of the present invention provide a 
memory (41) layout using complementary bitlines connected to a 
single sense amplifier (44). Extending from the sense amplifier, 
bitlines (54-56, 58-60) which are unconnected are extended to the 
middle of the array. One complementary bitline is then connected 
to a series of memory cells (40-1) extending away from the sense 
amplifier (44). The other complementary bitline loops back and 
is connected to a set of memory cells (40-3) extending back 
towards the sense amplifier. The first extension from the sense 
amplifier may be advantageously formed in a metal layer above the 
substrate thereby occupying no space in the substrate itself. 
All noise generated on the first sections (54, 60) of the 
bitlines will be canceled by the complementary parallel structure 
of the bitlines. Because the second sections (56, 58) of the 
bitlines are laterally separated, a wordline (64) passing across 
each of the second sections addresses a single memory cell (40). 
Therefore an optimally compact cross-point memory array may be 
fabricated. Using the described techniques an optimally compact 
array (41) having improved signal to noise characteristic may be 
fabricated.

Abstract: An advanced user interface for use with a computer 
system operating on an integrated operating environment. 
The integrated operating environment allows a 
plurality of application programs to be running 
simultaneously, one of which is designated the active 
application program to which all input data is 
directed. The advanced user interface allows a user 
to select among user-friendly input devices to operate 
any application program according to his individual 
preferences without change to the application program 
code. The advanced user interface includes alternate 
input modules which translate the input signals 
transmitted from the various input devices into input 
messages useable by the rest of the interface. The 
advanced user interface also includes interface 
profiles which contain mappings of the input messages 
against corresponding commands useable by the 
application programs, the integrated operating 
environment or other modules of the advanced user 
interface itself. An environment link module refers 
to the interface profiles and matches the input 
message against the corresponding command for the 
application program active at the time the input 
signal was transmitted and send the corresponding 
command to that application program.
