Abstract: An automatic rivet feed apparatus which can be used as a retrofit to an existing power driven riveting tool (T) or incorporated integrally into a riveting tool. A rivet strip (24) holds each of the plurality of rivets (R) at individual fixed positions on the rivet strip (24). Included is a rivet strip release hook (30) which stops the rivets (R), as they are advanced one-by-one, at rivet pick-up point (P) and releases each of the rivets (R) from the rivet strip (24). A hand (14) mounted on the end of a pneumatic ram (20) grips the rivets (R) at the rivet pick-up point (P). The pneumatic ram (10) moves the rivet (R) forward and rotates to place the rivet (R) in alignment with the nose piece (18) of the riveting tool (T). The pneumatic ram (10) then retracts and inserts the mandrel (M) of the rivet (R) into the nose piece (18) and returns to the rivet pick-up point (P) to repeat the steps.

Abstract: A computer system includes a method for performing background disk sector analysis for drives, including drives dedicated to redundancy and/or fault recovery techniques, in an intelligent, microprocessor based disk array (116). The method directs a microprocessor (20) to wait a specified time and test for disk activity. In the absence of disk activity, the disk controller (112) is directed to generate a read request for a disk memory location within the array. A return code following the array is checked to determine if the read failed, indicating a disk drive media failure. The disk controller (112) is then notified if a failure occurs. The processor again checks for disk array activity and in the absence of activity issues a read request for successive locations within the array, thereby reading all disk memory locations within the array (116).

IPC: H02H1/00
Filed: 1992-03-21
Abstract: A VCR or other microcomputer controlled equipment may be subjected to AC supply interruption resulting from many causes, such as, plugging or unplugging the AC supply with the unit switched on, contact bounce on the AC power switch, AC supply drop outs caused by heavy load switching, lightning etc. Short term AC disconnects should not result in the VCR user settings being lost or the user having to manually reset the control system to restore operability. To gain the earliest indication of imminent supply interruption, the AC supply is monitored (Q1) and a control signal (STOP) is produced that instructs the microcomputer system to save current parameters and assume a low power dissipation mode. With the reappearance of the supply, a RESET signal is generated (Q3) which enables commencement of the microcomputer system. AC interruptions as short as two cycles are detected and STOP and RESET signals are produced.

Abstract: In order to insert a replacement toner dam (40) in an assembled toner cartridge (30), the opposing sides of the toner cartridge (30) are caused to move towards each other so as to deform the cartridge (30) and cause openings to appear at opposing ends thereof. A pair of web spring carriers (36,38) are inserted into and through the openings so they exit from one opening. A new toner dam (40) is inserted between web spring carriers (36,38) at the portion thereof that exits from the opening. The web spring carriers (36,38) are then withdrawn until the replacement toner dam (40) is in a proper position. The dam (40) is then held in position and the web spring carriers (36,38) are freely withdrawn. This method thereby enables replacement of the toner dam (40) without injury to seals at either end of the toner cartridge (30). Various non-adhesive bearing toner dam structures are shown, each of which has a flexible portion that engages a toner bottle flange and thereby enables a toner seal to be achieved without use of adhesive. Additional methods are described which require disassembly of a used toner cartridge and replacement of certain parts.

Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle has a valve member (14) engageable with a seating to prevent fuel flow through an outlet orifice. The valve member is engaged by the narrower end of a stepped piston member (21) the surface (21A) of which remote from the valve member is subjected to fuel under pressure to bias the valve member into engagement with the seating. A tubular valve element (28) the interior of which is connected to a drain, is engageable with the surface but can be moved away from the surface to lower the pressure applied to the surface. The valve member lifts away from the seating when the pressure applied to the surface is reduced by fuel pressure acting on a further surface defined on the valve member.
