Abstract: According to the invention a method for perching leather is developped and a perching machine suited to carry out said perching process are disclosed. The perching process comprises a stage of continuous progress of the leather to be treated, a stage of stretching the leather at several spots of its surface by forcing it by means of pegs to penetrate the holes of a counter-plate and a stage of relaxation of the leather due to the withdrawal of the pegs from the stretching holes, wherein during the stretching stage a simultaneous smoothing operation on the leather surface occurs thanks to the translation of the pegs within the stretching holes. 
     The perching machine carrying out said process comprises a plurality of plates with pegs (7) each counterposed to a counter­plate (11) presenting holes (12), into which the leather (20) is forced to penetrate by the vertical action exerted by the pegs (9) attached to the top of the plates with pegs (7). Each plate with pegs (7) is connected with an articulated quadrilateral (50) and in combination with the rotation of the cam (14) it achieves an alternated vertical rotating and translating motion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for printing multiple pages written in page description format on a single sheet. The invention prints the multiple pages onto the single sheet by dynamically fitting the pages into the usable surface area of the sheet. To achieve the best fit, the invention determines a maximum scale factor for the multiple pages printed onto the sheet. This maxi­mum scale factor is approximated by calculating a sheet layout which occupies the greatest percentage of the usable surface area of the sheet. Additionally, the invention provides for printing multiple pages on successive sheets allowing the user to specify margins on opposite edges of the face of the sheet are alter­nated.

Abstract: An automatic quilting machine (10) for use in stitching individual selected patterns into a large fabric such as a bedspread or quilt. The bedspread or quilt (100) is stretched on a large metal frame which is mounted on a table which can be moved in the X-direction, the Y-direction, or any X-Y combination direction. The sewing machine head (110) is mounted on a cross beam (16) which is aligned at the approximate center point of the metal frame on which the fabric (100) is stretched. The needle of the sewing machine head (110) can stitch a pattern into any location in the fabric (100) and the metal frame is moved in any direction relative to the fixed sewing machine head (110) in order to bring the desired stitch location on the fabric (100) into alignment with the sewing machine head (110). The pattern can be created through reading by a scanner (130) when then converts the pattern into machine readable language which is stored in a process controller (172). Alternatively, the pattern can be hand drawn on a monitor (140) by graphic systems such as a mouse (180) combined with computer aided design programs which provide graphic menus and through which the drawn pattern can be converted into machine readable language which is then stored in the memory of a process controller (172). The stored pattern can be subsequently stitched into the fabric (100) through commands from the process controller (172) which direct a remote control apparatus to move the table in the desired direction to create the pattern.

Abstract: Firmware resident in electrically erasable programmable read only memory ("EEPROM") can be updated by a user while maintaining the intelligence of a computer system during the updating process by a control logic device. The control logic device decodes address and control signals to provide a hardware partitioning of the firmware resident in the EEPROMs to prevent writing to protected partitions af the firmware. Transfer vectors are used to provide indirect accessing of subroutines resident in the firmware. During an updating process, a new version of a subroutine is stored in a free area in the EEPROMs before the transfer vector pointing to the old version of the subroutine is updated. The window of vulnerability to errors during the updating process is minimized by only updating a page of memory containing the transfer vector that points to the old version of the subroutine after the new version has been stored.

Abstract: For checking an extensive integrated digital circuit, this circuit is subdivided into individual circuit blocks and the outputs and in some cases also inputs of these circuit blocks are preceded or, respectively, followed by circuit stages which can be switched as shift registers with respect to one another. For switching these output and input stages and switching the circuit blocks for testing and for other switching operations, a multiplicity of test control signals is required. To generate these via as few additional connections as possible, a test control circuit is provided which contains a shift register having several stages, each stage of which contains one or two memory elements and a subsequent logic circuit. The serial data for the shift register are derived from a memory element which changes its state with each signal change of a signal supplied from the outside, and the state of this memory element is loaded into the shift register with signal changes of a second signal supplied from the outside. By logically combining the outputs of the individual memory elements in the shift register stages with a signal derived from the output of the last stage, and with the signal coming from the first input, different test control signals are generated.

Abstract: A disk drive has a disk stack assembly comprising rigid magnetic disks 8, and disk spacer rings 13 with an annular groove 22 in the outer cylindrical surface. A concentrated axial load is applied to the stack by support surfaces 11, 16 at each axial end to retain the disks in position. The concentrated load is only partially distributed over the radial extent of the spacers at the axial ends of the stack to resist coning or cupping of the end disks, while the force distribution on the inner disks approaches a uniform loading to retain their undistorted, planar orientation. Thus the grooved spacers reduce distortion, and additionally also provide a surface which can be used to engage and manipulate the disk assembly during manufacture of the drive.
