Title: Method of forming a headed thermoplastic tube
IPC: B29C48/32
Filed: 1991-08-19
Abstract: A headed thermoplastic tube(29) is formed solely from a thermoplastic extruded, stretched, cylinder(3 by positioning the cylinder over a forming mandrel(5) with an exposed portion(13). The inner surface(15) of the exposed portion is heated above the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic material to render the inner surface molten while the outer surface provides support for the exposed portion of the cylinder. The heated exposed portion is then shaped into a conical shape(25), such as by heating the outer surface, and pressure applied to the conical shaped exposed portion to form a headed thermoplastic tube. The headed tubes produced have a body portion(30), shoulder portion(31) and neck portion(33), without any seams, all of which are formed from the starting thermoplastic extruded, stretched cylinder. <IMAGE>

Title: Tape driving mechanism for magnetic recording apparatus
IPC: G11B15/29
Filed: 1991-08-27
Abstract: A tape driving mechanism for a magnetic recording apparatus wherein a capstan (1) is rotated to advance a magnetic tape (3) by pinching the magnetic tape (4) between the capstan (1) and a pinch roller (2). The pinch roller (2) is pressed onto the magnetic tape (3) against the capstan. The capstan surface is coated with a diamond-like carbon film (4) which is smooth and highly wear-resistant. The difference between the tangential speed of the capstan and the tape transfer speed is almost zero; thus, the state of contact is static. A static frictional coefficient between the diamond-like carbon film (4) of the capstan (1) and the magnetic tape (3) is almost equal to twice the static frictional coefficient between the metal surface of the capstan and the magnetic tape in the conventional tape driving mechanism. The tape driving force remains sufficient, if the pressure exerted by the pinch roller (2) is reduced to half the value employed in the conventional tape driving mechanism. The diamond-like carbon film (4) may be coated on a rough surface of the capstan (1). <IMAGE>

Title: Digital information accessing, delivery, and reproduction.
Inventor: TSEVDOS JAMES T
IPC: G06Q20/20
Filed: 1994-10-17
Abstract: A digital data on-demand turnkey system at a customer premise wherein N number of servers provide for 100% of content distribution of remotely stored digitized information, which information may be previewed in real-time, and product incorporating selected digitized information can be manufactured on-site and within a short response time to a customer's request at a point of sale location. In a retail environment customers, at a point-of-sale location are able to exhaustively search and preview the content database using graphics-based touch screens at consumer kiosks. Previews including audio and video segments are made available. Prompting screens allow customers to make purchasing decisions by stipulating content which is available from any number of categories of subject matter including music. Content can be identified by album, artist or partial portions of material within the content of the totality of the work. The selected media for the manufacture and production of the digital data may be from a myriad of different selections and can include CD's, cassette tapes, CD ROM technology, reel-to-reel tapes, and video disks, as an example. Since the system is adaptable to having an unlimited number of servers, strategic and economic networking is accomplished to allocate proportionally the preview material as well as the total content of a specific work at the respective servers depending, in particular, on the popularity of the content and the costs of transmission. A master server will be situated geographically so as to be accessible to chain and network subservers. Its geographic and networked location is dependent upon communication network systems and subsystem costs and availability in order to best serve a customer's premise, whether it be a retail store or similar point-of-sale or other end-user location. The strategy of allocating the content between the servers, preview and for the final manufacturing process for a particular work, is done so as to eliminate the need for any in-store inventory of, for example, an artist's composition regardless of format. Security mechanisms that require centralized database authorizations prior to the transmission of content and/or the manufacture of any of the products is provided in addition. The systems provides simplified financial and accounting services. The total authorization, accounting and management reporting and marketing system collects and maintains data useful to the retailer and the content data owners or managers, such as label companies. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An autostereoscopic display has first and second spatial light modulators 
(2, 4). Images from the spatial light modulators are combined by a beam 
combiner (30) before being presented to a viewing region (31). The 
relative positions of the first and second spatial light modulators (2, 4) are 
controlled such that pixels of the second spatial light modulator (4) are 
interspersed with pixels of the first spatial light modulator (2). Such an 
arrangement allows an effective doubling of resolution when the spatial 
light modulators are operated so as to produce a two dimensional image 
instead of a three dimensional image.

Abstract: Database segment definitions are applied to entities in a database by
issuing statements to the database, rather than extracting a flat file of data,
in order to identify the segments in which an entity is classified. The
resulting classification is stored in the database. A segment definition
is applied in several steps. Intermediate results are stored in temporary
structures in the database and use a temporary identification for each entity
to handle the fact that intermediate results may place an entity in more than
one segment. Intermediate results are combined together to obtain a
final classification. For relational databases accessed using SQL, the
temporary results are stored in intermediate tables and statements issued to
the database are generated according to the segment definitions and the
scheme for assigning temporary identifiers. One scheme for temporary
identifiers reduces the number of segments in which an entity might be
classified, whereas another scheme reduces the number of statements
generated.

Abstract: A piezoelectric scanner (1) comprises four piezoelectric elements (4a to 4d) bonded in
base member (2) and attached via respective couplings (6a to 6d) to a member (7) to be
scanned. Each piezoelectric element (6a to 6d) comprises two layers of piezoelectric
material arranged in opposite sense such that when a voltage is applied across the
material it is caused to bend. The four elements (4a to 4d) are connected such that an
applied voltage either causes all the elements to bend inwards or to cause all the
elements to bend outwards. The couplings (6a and 6d) are mounted lower on the
member (7) than coupling (6b) and (6c) such that applying a voltage to the elements (6a
to 6d) cause the member (7) to rotate. The centre of gravity of the member (7) lies on
the axis of rotation and therefore the scanner is less susceptible to external vibration than
previous designs. The invention also provides a method by which such a scanner can
be commercially manufactured.
