Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      A system is disclosed for digitizing voice messages and processing the resultant voice data, along with alphanumeric character data including editing and control commands.  The system includes memory, display, and a processor programmed to store voice data, character data, establish a sequence record in memory indicating a unified order of voice data and character data, display a sequence of voice token marks and character marks, each token mark representing an increment of the voice data and each character mark corresponding to one entered character.  The displayed sequence corresponds to the sequence in the record, and the user may revise the sequence by edit commands to reflect editing changes in the order of voice or character data.  Additionally the processor controls the operation of the system to indicate in the sequence record when each increment of voice data was received and display this information with respect to the other elements of voice data.  A memory pointer defines a position in the sequence and a mark is displayed, corresponding to the pointer position. Responsive to input signals, the pointer position in the sequence and on the display may be moved.  The system generates an audio signal corresponding to the increments of voice data stored in memory, starting at the pointer position in the current voice data sequence, and following the order as defined in the sequence record.  The pointer advances through the voice message data correspondingly to the generation of the audio signal.

Abstract: ABSTRACT          Longitudinal folding of a flexible web into four substantially equal sections without the occurrence of undesirable wrinkling of the surface of the folded sections is effected by a longitudinal folding board system.  The folding board system employs a secondary folding board for initiating folding a first section of the web into parallel relationship with a second section to form a double-folded half section of the web.  The web moves over the top surface of the secondary folding board; and the first section of the web is diverted from the remainder of the web along a given angular path.  A primary folding board, positioned at an incline downstream from the secondary folding board is used to redirect the path of travel of the second and fourth sections of the web from paths of travel under the primary folding board to paths of travel about boundaries of the primary folding board such that the second section of the web is folded adjacent to the first section about a longi-tudinal fold line axis forming the double-folded half section of the web while the fourth section is folded under the third section along a horizontal path.  A folding rod is used to guide the double-folded half into an overlaying parallel relationship with the third and fourth sections.          An additional folding means is employed to displace the first section from the second section of the web keeping the section fully extended in both the cross and machine directions as the double-folded half of the web is guided over and onto the third section to form a W-type longitu-dinal fold.  A second embodiment of the device is also disclosed.

Abstract: ABSTRACT     A support system for supporting and securing on a substrate and in the desired position a stair module is described. The stair support arrangement advantageously used with swimming pools includes a vertical post which, at the top, supports the stair bottom through a pad member formed or secured underneath the stair module. The post is secured to the pad through vertical depending extensions formed on the pad member. The arrangement facilitates construction by allowing the support to be installed from the top, i.e. the underside of the stair module, down to the ground or supporting level as distinguished from a conventional block support construction which is built from the ground up. A bolt passes through holes formed in the depending legs and through a hole formed near the top of the post such that the top of the post is spaced from contact with the base of the pad member. Shoes are provided at the bottom of, and secured to the post preferably in conjunction with a reinforcing rod which is secured near the lower part of the post. The stair module with the underneath supporting post assembly secured to the stair module is lowered in place and leveled.          The bottom of the post, the shoes and the reinforcing rod are then buried in concrete to provide a footing.

Abstract: IMPROVEMENTS IN VEHICLE SLACK ADJUSTERS                   ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           A slack adjuster for use in a transportation environment has a body which has a lever arm formed at one end thereof.  There is an opening in the body and a worm gear wheel is positioned in the opening for mounting on a brake operating shaft.  There is a slot formed in the body and contiguous with the opening.  The slot has three mutually perpendicular surfaces and is of a size and shape to hold a worm gear and to provide for threaded engagement of the worm gear and the worm gear wheel.  There is a bore in the body which is generally perpendicular to one of the slot mutually perpendicular surfaces.  A shaft is positioned in the bore and coaxially mounts the worm gear for adjustment thereof.          The bore is oversized relative to the shaft, thereby providing no bearing support therefore  A torque applied to the worm gear wheel from the body lever arm applies a resultant force, parallel with the worm gear axis, from the worm gear to one of the slot perpendicular surfaces.

A light source is positioned to direct diffused illumination through the sidewall of a container under inspection as the container is rotated about its central axis with the intensity of the illumination varying across the light source transversely of such axis as a pre-determined function of transverse position.  In specific dis-closed embodiments of the invention, the light intensity is filtered across the source to provide transversely spaced outer regions of uniform intensities, either equal or unequal, and an intermediate region of either uniform intensity different from that in the outer regions or transversely varying intensity.          A camera which includes a plurality of light sensitive elements disposed in a linear array parallel to the axis of container rotation is positioned to receive light energy transmitted through the container sidewall.  Electronics monitor the camera light elements during container rotation, identifies defects as a function of differences in light detected by the camera elements at adjacent increments of container rotation, and generates signals to distinguish and sort defective containers from commercially acceptable containers.  A conveyor sequentially presents containers for inspection and includes separate selec-table exit paths for acceptable and unacceptable containers.     --o--i.

Abstract: APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING               AN INK-JET PRINTING HEAD     ABSTRACT        A circuit and related method are provided for maintaining a desired spacing between an ink-jet printing means and a receiving surface along a line scanned by the printing means.  An ultrasonic transducer transmits signals at timed intervals to the receiving surface from the printing means.  A reflected signal from the re-ceiving surface is sensed by the transducer during a receiving time window after the signal is transmitted.  A reference position signal representative of the head to surface spacing at a printing location is compared to the desired head to surface spacing to produce a position error signal.  A servomotor responds to the position error signal to move the printing means toward and away from the receiving surface to maintain the desired spacing.
