Abstract: An electronic labeling apparatus (1) is disclosed which includes a printing mechanism (18) with a printhead (70) adapted for horizontal travel across an assembly (5,91,96) of identification devices (6) to be imprinted. A web edge sensor (85) is attached to the printhead (70) for concurrent travel therewith. In traversing horizontally across the assembly (5,91,96) the web edge sensor (85) provides a signal to a microprocessor (100) which indicates the presence or absence of the assembly (5,91,96) under the current position of the sensor (85). The microprocessor (100) also receives a timing signal from the printing mechanism (18) indicative of the position of the printhead (70). Based on the timing signal and the signal from the web edge sensor (85), the microprocessor (100) measures a current width of the assembly (5,91,96). The assembly (5,91,96) is especially adapted for use with the invention, and includes notches (90) having a width different than the nominal width of the assembly (5,91,96), each notch (90) being in a fixed relative position with respect to one of the identification devices (6,95,97). The microprocessor (100) is thereby able to control feeding of the assembly (5,91,96) to register the identification devices (6,95,97) for printing by discriminating the current measured width of the assembly (5,91,96) between the nominal width and the width at a notch (90).

In one embodiment of the invention, the control means comprises at least a magnet (41), a power generating yoke (42) and a power generating coil (43) and in another embodiment, it comprises additionally a rectifying circuit (108) which supplies an output current to the time-counting circuit through a power source. (109). 
     The advantages of the present invention are that due to the provision of the control means including a power generating mechanism, no erroneous indication of the display device due to temperature variations takes place and besides the easiness of adjustment of the load torque, a desired hand-operating mode can be easily selected at choice between stepped and sweep hand modes.

Abstract: Nose landing gear jump strut assembly (1) includes an outer main housing cylinder (3) containing a jump cylinder (6) which is normally retained in a retracted position but is extendable on command during the take-off ground roll of the aircraft to accelerate the outer main housing cylinder (3) upward thus to rotate the nose of the aircraft upward and thereby increase the angle of attack of the aircraft. Within the jump cylinder (6) is the main strut piston (7) which is free to move relative to the jump cylinder (6) except during extension of the jump cylinder, the main strut piston (7) is hydraulically locked for movement with the jump cylinder (6). After the jump cylinder (6) has been fully extended, and the aircraft starts to become airborne, the main strut piston (7) will move to its fully extended position. Then the jump cylinder (6) is retracted, while still leaving the main strut piston (7) fully extended.

Abstract: Frequency tuning and coupling capacitances in MRI RF receive coils (14) are typically realized, at least in part, as reverse biased varactor diodes. During RF tuning of the transmit (12) coil (i.e., so as to achieve resonance and matched impedance conditions), at least some if not all of the varactors associated with the receive coil are forward biased so as to simultaneously maximize detuning of the receive coil to resonant frequencies removed as far as possible from that of the transmitter coil being tuned while also then substantially reducing the Q of the receive coil.

Abstract: A method to maintain all of the information that is originally displayed in a window on the display screen in an interactive information handling system, as the size of the window is decreased. By selecting from a plurality of different character sets that are stored in the system, a character set is obtained which has the appropriate width and height attributes that allow the original text characters to be substituted for the corresponding text characters originally displayed. Since the selected character set contains proportionally smaller characters no information is lost because the size of the window was decreased. 
     The different character sets that are stored may be hardware implemented such as ROM character generators based on different sized character boxes or software generated character sets which are also based on different sized character sets. The type of font is important only in the context that some fonts are more readable as the size of the characters decrease than others. The method allows the operator to dynamically vary the window size after the initial window has been displayed in response to some predetermined action by the operator. 
     Any of the techniques suggested in the art for changing the window size would be appropriate. In the preferred embodiment of the method, the system includes a "mouse". Movement of the mouse in a generally horizontal direction with the button in the held position causes the horizontal window size to increase or decrease. The amount of decrease is calculated in real time by monitoring the movement of the mouse and cursor position. A table is stored in memory which lists all of the displayable character sets that are available. Each character set has a width attribute and a height attribute. A percentage decrease in width and height   is stored in the table representing changes from the corresponding attributes of standard character set that is normally used to display information in the system. A new character set is selected from the table in accordance with the calculated percentage of decrease and the new character substituted in the text. If the user sizes the window below limits of readability or system capability for resolution, the window components are replaced with a graphic representation of the data or with icons. If the user decides to restore the size of the original, a 1-step key or mouse button sequence is available.

Abstract: The valve is for relieving the pressure in a boiling water reactor. The valve has a valve disk (70) fitting to a valve seat (60) to normally close the valve. The seat (60) below the disk (70) has a radial annulus (61). The disk has a corresponding annulus (71) that extends downwardly through the seat towards the high pressure side of the valve body. A ring membrane (M) is welded to the seat and disk annuli (61,71). The membrane (M) seals over the confronted surfaces of the seat and disk against leaks. The disk (70) is held closed by a stem (50). The ste m has a flange biased by two springs (114,150). The first spring (114) urges the stem (50) and disk (70) away from the seat (60) to open the valve at any pressure. The second spring (150) - preferably a Belleville spring - acts on a latch plate (120) surrounding, and moveable relative to, the stem. This second spring overcomes the bias of the first spring and any pressure acting upon the disk. This second spring (150) keeps the valve closed. The freedom of movement of the latch plate relative to the stem allows the stem to thermally expand. The latch plate is limited in its outward movement by a boss (125) attached to the end of the stem remote from the disk. The latch plate is held normally closed by three radial latches (140) equally spaced around the plate.
