Title: Emergency descent device
Inventor: SHEU POR-JIY
IPC: A62B1/10
Filed: 1991-08-29
Abstract: The present invention provides an emergency descent device which includes a casing, a rotation retarding device 40, a suspension gear pulley 32. a cable 50 extending around the suspension gear pulley 32 and a cable guiding unit 20. The cable guiding unit 20 includes a pair of spaced upper rollers (241, 242) and a lower roller 26 provided under a point between the two spaced rollers (241, 242). The cable 50 has a descending portion and an ascending portion, which is frictionally passed around the suspension gear pulley 32. Each of the two end portions of a cable 50 pass between one of the pair of spaced rollers (241, 242) and the lower roller 28.

Title: Write on display
Inventor: VERTELNEY HARRY
IPC: G06F3/0354
Filed: 1992-11-02
Abstract: A system which determines the location of a stylus (14) relative to a screen (12). The screen (12) has a transparent plate that covers a liquid crystal display. Attached to the edges of the plate are transducers (24, 28) that create waves that propagate across the plate. An excitation circuit is connected to the transducers to coordinate and initiate the waves. The system also includes a stylus (14) that can be pressed against the plate by the user which detects the presence of the waves and sends a detection signal to a computation circuit, which determines the time for the wave to travel from the transducer to the stylus. The location of the stylus (14) relative to the plate is then computed by the computation circuit. The transducers may be arranged to produce waves that alternately travel on the x and y - axis of the plate. The plate may be constructed from a plurality of fibre optic elements. <IMAGE>

Title: Flying swing-wing toy model glider.
Inventor: BATEMAN DEREK CHARLES
IPC: A63H27/01
Filed: 1993-05-14
Abstract: The glider has in-flight variable geometric formation of the main wings and comprises a 3-part laminated fuselage (fig 1), main wings (fig 2) connected by a central pivot (fig 5) and joined to an inner wing (fig 3) by connecting arms (fig 6). The inner wing is mounted on a piston barrel (fig 7) and the assembly is pulled forward in a fuselage track under the tension of a rubber band connected between the piston barrel and nose launch hook (fig 4) after the delayed-action release of the piston rod from a vacuum in the piston barrel created by suction. The connecting arms push the main wings outwards as the inner wing moves forward to become part of the main wing. Piston release timing can be varied by screw turns of the piston rod compressing a rubber sleeve to expand or contract against the walls of the piston barrel causing more or less suction. The glider is launched with a two-post rubber catapult. A blank for producing a shaped box is also described - figure 10. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2285164-A (GB)
Title: Power supply for liquid crystal display
Inventor: ITO SATORU
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 1994-12-21
Abstract: An object is to provide a power supply technique which is optimum when the source voltage range of a signal driver is different from that of a scan driver. A power supply unit supplies a source voltage group of V11, VC1 and V12 of the same polarity having a narrower source voltage range to the signal driver and another source voltage group of V10, VC2 and V15 of the same polarity having a wider source voltage range to the scan driver. The center voltages VC1 and VC2 within these source voltage ranges are equal to each other. The power supply unit has a means for adjusting the source voltages. A control signal and other signals from a control unit are transformed in level by a potential transforming unit. When it is desired to accomplish the display-off function, the outputs of the signal and scan drivers are set to be equal to VC level. Thus, the adjustment of liquid-crystal driving voltages can be accomplished by a simplified adjustment device while maintaining the accurate ratio of voltage division. <IMAGE>

Title: Eliminating casting defects by applying pressure
Inventor: KARAKI MITSUHIRO
IPC: B22D31/00
Filed: 1997-07-23
Abstract: A method of eliminating casting defects includes the steps of taking a casting out of a casting mold and applying a pressure to the casting taken out of the casting mold. The pressure is so determined as not to strike blows against the casting and as to be larger than a force required to crush casting defects. A rolling member such as a roller or a ball may be applied to the casting. Alternatively a bar pressurizing member may be applied to a specific portion of the surface. The casting may be heated before the pressure is applied thereto or while the pressure is applied thereto, suitably to a semi-molten state. The method may be applied to a cylinder block for an engine die-cast from aluminium.

Title: Solid insulation transformer
Inventor: PARADIS CLAUDE
IPC: H01F27/02
Filed: 1996-04-01
Abstract: The solid insulation transformer (10) has a rectangular core (12) covered with a compressible closed-cell foam to eliminate stress during curing of the cast dielectric material (18) surrounding the core (12) and during operation.
