Title: Halftone image device and its driving circuit
Inventor: SHIBUYA AKIRA
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 1993-01-22
Abstract: The invention makes it possible to drive a halftone image device and achieve high halftone reproduction by allowing at least one of the leading and trailing edges of a pulse width-modulated signal applied to a recording head, or forming amplitude- and width-modulated pulses, respectively, as driving pulses for placing one dot under halftone control, and changing a pulse width change of pulse width modulation in a stepwise manner, using the pulse width of the amplitude-modulated pulse as a unit pulse width.      The invention intends to achieve high-voltage and high-speed pulse output and low power consumption by converting input data such as halftone image data to a voltage signal, superposing pulse voltages of opposite polarities and applying the resulting signal to a switching circuit constituting an output state in the form of a switching signal, and also makes it possible to achieve high speed and high-voltage driving by connecting at least one of equivalent two-terminal elements in series to at least one of the respective driving elements of a complementary FET driving circuit, said equivalent two-terminal elements are each put on with a current of a certain or higher value passing therethrough to show constant-voltage characteristics and put off with a current of a certain or lower value passing therethrough to become a constant resistance.

Title: Hand-actuated rotatable toothbrush
Inventor: CATER MIRO S
IPC: A46B7/08
Filed: 1992-02-28
Abstract: A hand powered rotatable toothbrush is characterized by elements, such as tufts of brush bristles, positionally fixed to the brush head to frictionally engage tooth surfaces and thereby positionally stabilize the brush head so that a distal portion of the brush handle can be longitudinally reciprocated relative to the brush head. One or more rotatable brush members mounted on the brush head are operatively connected to the distal handle portion, as by a rack and pinion, to cause the brush members to be rotated in response to longitudinal handle reciprocation. In one embodiment the rotatable brush member cyclically rotates in opposite directions in response to back and forth linear motion of the handle. In another embodiment the rotation of the brush member is in the same direction, irrespective of the direction in which the handle moves.

Title: Cutter Assembly
Inventor: OBER FRANK
IPC: B26D1/18
Filed: 1993-11-03
Abstract: A cutter assembly for cutting sheets of relatively thin material is disclosed. The cutter assembly comprises a base member (18), a pair of support posts (14,16) securely attached to the base member (18), and an elongated guide rail (12) having a first end (12a) and a second end (12b) supported by the support posts (14,16) in laterally spaced relation to the base member (18). A cutting strip (22) is securely retained by the base member (18) for receiving the sheets of material thereon. There is a cutter head (20) slidably mounted on the elongated guide rail (12), and a cutting wheel (64) operatively retained in rotatable relation by the cutter head (20). A spring biasing means (90) biases the cutting wheel (64) toward the cutting strip (22) such that the cutting wheel (64) is received in intimately contracting relation against the cutting strip (22). The cutting wheel (64) moves along the elongated guide rail (12) so as to intimately contact the cutting strip (22) along the length thereof, so as to thereby permit cutting of the sheets of material when they are between the cutting wheel (64) and the cutting strip (22). A spring member (102) is disposed between upper (40) and lower (38) members of the base member (18) so as to camber the upper member (40) to match the bowing of the elongated guide rail (12) that occurs as the cutting wheel (64) moves along the elongated guide rail (12) and therefore along cutting strip (22) to cut the sheets of material. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
