Abstract: A can opener comprising a pair of pivoted handle members 101, 102, associated with a drive wheel 108 and a cutting wheel 111, which are brought into a position to nip the rim of a can when the handles are closed, includes means whereby the nip on the can is not lost when the handle members are partially opened to an intermediate position. As shown the cutting wheel is pivotally mounted on a rotatable carrier 112 in the handle 101 and has a projection 104 entering a recess 105 in the handle 102. The recess allows the handle 102 to move between the closed and intermediate positions without disturbing the carrier 112. Closing the handle 102 drives a drive shaft 110 carrying the wheel 108 through gearing 153,154,155 and a one-way clutch spring 116 which slips when the handles open. Repeated opening and closing cuts round the can.

Abstract: A reflective type liquid crystal display device (60-160) excelling in uniformity and capable of making a bright display is presented. At the front side of the liquid crystal display element (72), that is, at the observer (70) side, a light guide plate (61) is disposed, and a pair of lamps (63a, 63b) are disposed at the outer side of the confronting side surfaces of the light guide plate (61). Collimators (62a, 62b) for limiting the incident angle ϑ to the normal or perpendicular of the upper surface (61a) of the light from the lamps (63a, 63b) are disposed between the light guide plate (61) and lamps (63a, 63b). That is. by the collimators (62a, 62b), the incident angle ϑ to the normal or perpendicular of the upper surface is defined so that the incident light may be totally reflected, and that the reflected light may not be totally reflected by the lower surface (61b). As a result, the light from the lamps (63a, 63b) will not reach the observer (70) directly, and a uniform illumination of the liquid crystal display element (72) may be realized. Besides, at the observer (70) side of the liquid crystal display element (72), a light guide plate (161) forming protrusions (161c) is disposed, and a pair of lamps (63a, 63b) are disposed at the outer side of the confronting side surfaces of the light guide plate (161). Furthermore, between the light guide plate (161) and lamps (63a, 63b), collimators (62a, 62b) for limiting the incident angle ϑ of the light from the lamps into the upper surface (161a) are disposed. Accordingly, the light from the lamps (63a, 63b) does not reach the observer (70) directly, and the light entering the protrusions (161c) formed on the light guide plate (161) is emitted to the liquid crystal display element (72) side. Thus, a uniform illumination into the liquid crystal display element (72) is realized.

Abstract: According to an illustrative example of the present invention an oscillation damper (10) is provided with a bypass interconnecting two fluid chambers (18a,18b,20). A main valve (26) is provided within this bypass (24) for allowing variation of the damping behavior of the oscillation damper (10). An electro-magnetic valve (22) is used for controlling the hydraulic pressure acting onto the main valve. The electro-magnetic valve (22) is biased toward an emergency position. The biasing force is obtained by two parallel acting springs (133a,133b). A first one of these springs is relatively weak, so that the valve can be transferred by low electric current in a magnetic coil (22) against the action of the weak spring (133a) to a first operational position to be used during a major part of the operational time of the oscillation damper (10). By considerable increase of the electric current the valve (26) can be further transferred into a further operational position which is desired only in exceptional situations. Such a low electric energy consumption is needed for the control of the electro-magnetic valve (22). The normal operational condition of the electro-magnetic valve (22) is stabilized by the second, harder spring (133b).

Abstract: A method for determining toner adhesion amounts of plural color toners on a photoreceptor. The method includes the steps of: (1) forming plural reference latent images, each of which is corresponding to a respective component color image of a reference toner image; (2) developing the reference latent images, each of which is developed with a respective color toner of the plural color toners, so that developed reference latent images are superimposed, each at a time, on the photoreceptor to form the reference toner image; (3) detecting the toner adhesion amounts of the plural color toners by detecting the reference toner image every time when one of the developed reference latent images is superimposed on the same portion of the photoreceptor; and (4) determining whether the toner adhesion amounts of the plural color toners are normal or abnormal according to results of the detecting step.

Abstract: A data processing system receives a continuous stream of real time transactional data regarding market transactions of fixed income securities. The incoming data is qualified and then used to determine the term structure of interest rates based on price information. The system provides linear interpolation techniques to complete an operative data set. This set is updated with current trade data, with term structure shifting using pivot points from newly qualified data. An index value for a pre-select portfolio of securities is then calculated and expressed in terms of price relative to par, yield to maturity and duration. 
     In a specific implementation using U.S. Treasuries as the monitored security, the index value supports an automated trading function for futures and/or options contracts based on the change in value of the index. The index provides a more accurate barometer of market changes and a more useful tool in measuring portfolio management for plan sponsors.
