Abstract: A height adjustment system for an upright vacuum cleaner (10) comprises a cam member (50) with a cam surface (38). The cam member is mounted within a base and includes rollers which facilitate the sliding lateral movement of the cam member within the base. The rollers (46) roll within a channel within the base. Notches (96,98,100) are formed in the side walls (78) of the channel and receive a resiliently deformable indexing member (104) which locates and fixes a cam follower (30) at discrete points (90,92,94) along the cam surface. A secondary height adjustment means comprises a ledge located on a housing (120) which is attached to a handle (122). When the handle of the vacuum cleaner is rotated from a use position to an upright locked position, the ledge on the housing displaces a finger (130) which pushes against a fulcrum plate (160) attached to an axle (28) connected to the front wheels (22) of the vacuum cleaner. When the axle is so displaced, the front wheels swing downwardly, thereby raising the rotating brush above the floor surface so that the floor surface to be cleaned is not damaged while the vacuum remains stationary.

Abstract: In devices for combining the remains (1) of a pile of sheets with a main pile of sheets (2) to form an overall pile, rakes (8) are used, which are formed from grid bars (3) with tapering ends, engage temporarily below the remains (1) of the pile of sheets, and against whose underside the top of the main pile of sheets (2) is temporarily placed. According to the invention, drive means are provided for pushing the grid bars (3) below the remains (1) of the pile of sheets and for retracting them later from a gap between the remains (1) of the pile of sheets and the main pile of sheets (2), which drive means are designed in such a way that the rake (8) travels over a displacement path covered when the rake is retracted at speeds which follow a speed profile which has a lower speed relative to a mean speed in at least one end section of the displacement path. In an exemplary embodiment, the drive means are formed by a cylinder arrangement (19) which displaces the rake (8) and works against an end-position damping member (48). When using a device according to the invention in conjunction with a sheet feeder of a printing machine, operating interferences in the latter are avoided, which are attributed to the sagging of the remains (1) of the pile of sheets in a final phase of the pile combination. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pair of filtering membranes 52 are solidly bonded to a membrane-supporting plate 51 by fusibly bonding each of the filtering membranes 52 to the resin membrane-supporting plate 51. A main fusible domain is formed along peripheral edges of each of the filtering membrane 52. In addition, a plurality of subordinate fusible domains are intermittently formed in plural locations on one side or on both sides of the main fusible domain. By virtue of the above structure, bonding strength is secured by the main fusible domain, and yet, bonding strength is reinforced by locally provided subordinate fusible domains. A channel is formed in the membrane-supporting plate 51 so that permeated liquid can swiftly flow through the filtering system. In addition, a plurality of projections 53 are formed on peripheral edges of a filtration membrane cartridge 5 facing inner surface of each gutter formed inside of each slit plate by way of causing respective projections 53 to slidably come into contact with the inner surface of the gutter. This in turn effectively minimizes frictional force between the filtration membrane cartridge 5 and the gutter to facilitate operator to easily insert and remove the filtration membrane cartridge 5 into and from the gutter of the slit plate.

   which composition is a liquid crystal mixture of an achiral liquid crystal compound of the following formula (IV) with a chiral compound having an adsorptivity to adsorbents, not greater than that of the achiral compound:
       
 wherein A', B', C' and D' each independently are trans-1,4-cyclohexylene, 1-cyclohexene-1,4-diyl or 1,4-phenylene; g, h and i each are 0 or 1;        (g+h+i)≧1          ; X', Y' and Z' each independently are a single bond, -CH₂-CH₂-, -CH=CH- or -C≡C-; R⁷ is C n H 2n+1 -, C n H 2n-1  or C n H 2n+1 OC k H 2k -; R⁸ is C m H 2m+1 -,  C m H 2m+1 O-, F, CHF₂O or CF₃O-; n and m each independently are an integer of 1 to 18; k is an integer of 1 to 17; (n+k) is 2 to 18; at least one of X', Y' and Z' is single bond; when ring D' is 1,4-phenylene and R⁸ is F, CHF₂O- or CF₃O-, then H at ortho position as regards R⁸ may be replaced by F; and "Then" g is 1 and ring B' or C' is 1,4-phenylene, when H at the lateral position of the ring may be replaced by F. 
     It is preferred in order to exhibit a high voltage-holding ratio that the achiral liquid crystal compound have as a polar group, a functional group (such as F and CF 3 O-) limited to a halogen atom such as F, Cℓ, etc. or an ether bond, besides the C-C bond and the C-H bond. 
     As to chiral compounds those having a functional group restricted to only a halogen atom or an ether bond are preferred, in the same aspect, chiral agent compounds having a polar group of -CN group as a fuctional group are unsuitable.

Abstract: Method of and system for providing improved settling of a read/write head with respect to a selected track (14) on a disk (12). Responsive to the position error signal, a first signal proportional to the position error signal and a second signal proportional to a rate of change of the position error signal are estimated. The first and second signals are applied to a fuzzy logic controller (34), which utilizes the values for the first and second signals in membership functions relating to particular characteristic states to determine possibility weights relating to the same states. The possibility weights are further processed by application of rule action functions to generate a plurality of boost signals, which are then combined to generate gain adjustment signals for the Proportional-Integral-Derivative ("PID") controller (30).
