Title: Systemes de saisie par stylet lumineux
Inventor: BIRD NEIL CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 1996-08-02
Abstract: Le système de saisie par stylet lumineux se compose d'un appareil de détection de la lumière (10) constitué d'une matrice d'éléments de détection (14) en rangées et colonnes, sur lesquels se déplace un stylet lumineux (12) pour écrire des informations, destinées à être affichées sur un écran par exemple, le rayon lumineux émis par le stylet produisant un point lumineux (20) sur la matrice recouvrant une pluralité d'éléments adjacents qui l'explorent. Lorsque le faisceau est dirigé de manière perpendiculaire à la matrice, ce point lumineux (20) a une forme sensiblement non circulaire, ayant des dimensions différentes sur la matrice dans deux directions. Ainsi, il est possible de détecter la rotation du stylet autour de son axe, ce qui ajoute une fonctionnalité supplémentaire. Un point lumineux allongé, par exemple de forme elliptique, rectangulaire ou triangulaire, permet d'obtenir des capacités supplémentaires, la largeur du trait écrit pouvant être modifiée par torsion du stylet.

Abstract: The mechanism includes first (102) and second (104) cutting blades. The first cutting blade is arranged to cut through all layers of the multi-layer tape. The second cutting blade is arranged to cut through one or more layers of the multi-layer tape, but leaving at least one layer intact and spaced at a location lengthwise of the tape with respect to the first cutting blade. An anvil holder carries first (106) and second (108) anvils arranged to cooperate respectively with the first and second cutting blades. The holder is mounted for rolling motion so that as the rolling motion widthwise of the tape occurs, the cutting operations are carried out. The first and second cutting blades are mounted on a common blade holder.

Abstract: In the process of lowering the vehicle height, oil discharged from actuators 11FL and 11FR corresponding to left and right front wheels flows through a left front-wheel conduit 30 and a right front-wheel conduit 31, whereas oil discharged from actuators 11RL and 11RR corresponding to left and right rear wheels flows through a left rear-wheel conduit 32 and a right rear-wheel conduit 33. The left front-wheel conduit 30 and the right front-wheel conduit 31 have greater effective diameters than those of the left rear-wheel conduit 32 and the right rear-wheel conduit 33. The flow resistance in the left front-wheel conduit 30 and the right front-wheel conduit 31 is accordingly smaller than that in the left rear-wheel conduit 32 and the right rear-wheel conduit 33. This means that oil is discharged from the actuators 11FL and 11FR corresponding to the front wheels at a greater rate than that from the actuators 11RL and 11RR corresponding to the rear wheels.
