Title: Manufacture methods of electron-emitting device, electron source, and image-forming apparatus
Inventor: IKEDA SOTOMITSU
IPC: H01J9/02
Filed: 1995-09-28
Granted: 1999-09-23
Abstract: In a manufacture method of an electron-emitting device in which an electro-conductive film having an electron-emitting region is provided between electrodes disposed on a substrate, a step of forming the electron-emitting region comprises a step of forming a structural latent image in the electro-conductive film, and a step of developing the structural latent image. An electron source comprising a plurality of electron-emitting devices arrayed on a substrate, and an image-forming apparatus in combination of the electron source and an image-forming member are manufactured by using the electron-emitting devices manufactured by the above method. The position and shape of an electron-emitting region of each electron-emitting device can be controlled so as to achieve uniform device characteristics, resulting less variations in the amount of emitted electrons between the electron-emitting devices and in the brightness of pictures. Also, the need of flowing.a great current for formation of the electron-emitting region is eliminated and hence the current capacity of wiring can be reduced. <IMAGE>

Title: A scalpel blade remover
Inventor: HENRY ROBERT ANTHONY NEVILLE
IPC: A61B17/3211
Filed: 1995-09-08
Granted: 1998-02-12
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU95/00585 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 29, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 29, 1996 PCT Filed Sep. 8, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/07363 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 14, 1996A scalpel blade remover removes a blade from the tang of a scalpel. The scalpel is inserted in, and withdrawn from, the blade remover along the same substantially straight-line path. The blade remover has a rocker block which pivots about an axis transverse to the insertion path. When the scalpel is inserted into the blade remover, its tang pushes against a contact surface of the rocker block, causing the rocker block to pivot. A pair of legs at the other end of the rocker block apply a transverse force to the heel of the blade on either side of the tang, thereby lifting the heel of the blade off the tang. When the scalpel has been inserted far enough, a pawl drops behind the heel of the blade. The pawl strips the blade from the tang when the scalpel handle is removed. The blade remover is typically mounted in the lid of a sharps container.

Title: Metal forming process and apparatus and product of same
Inventor: HADAWAY BERNARD M
IPC: B21J15/00
Filed: 1984-10-11
Granted: 1988-05-05
Abstract: In a method of forming an integral fastener such as a rivet on a sheet metal component (15) such as part of a clutch plate assembly, the metal sheet is placed between a pair of dies (1, 2) the die (1) having a cavity (3) and the die (2) carrying a plunger (4) co-operating with clearance with the cavity and biased by a spring (7). The die (2) has an annular working face (14) surrounding the plunger (4). As the dies are brought together the plunger first applies a bias force to the portion of the sheet in register with the cavity (3) and then the face (14) acts to compress an annular zone of the sheet surrounding the cavity. The combined effect of the bias force and the compression then causes material to yield in the annular zone and to be displaced from that zone to flow into the die cavity to form a hollow fastener in the clearance between the cavity and the plunger.

Title: A smooth rain-responsive wiper control
Inventor: TEDER REIN S
IPC: B60S1/08
Filed: 1996-05-01
Granted: 1998-12-24
Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic windshield wiper control system which responds to sensed moisture in a manner which is responsive to changes in conditions, yet subjectively smooth. Moisture and noise sensitive signals from a sensor are digitized, and a functional block detects the reversals of the moisture sensing signal towards a quiescent level. These reversals are considered rain events and a method is disclosed for producing an ongoing measure of the frequency of these events. The resulting signal is representative of the flow rate of the raindrops impinging upon the moisture sensor. Another functional block with a logarithmic characteristic converts this quantity into an intensity value, in a manner which mimics human perception. A multiple time-constant averaging means maintains a value representative of the long-range prevailing conditions under which the device is operating. This long range average is combined with a medium range average to produce a rain-intensity signal which permits rapid but bounded response to sudden changes in conditions. A mode-determination block uses this signal to determine the appropriate wiper actuation rate. The disclosed control strategy features hysteresis, giving the system a propensity to continue operating in a given mode.

Granted: 1999-12-16
Abstract: a method for facilitating cellular communication for and among a plurality of native cellular handsets in a hybrid cellular communication network that has a cellular exchange subsystem and a private mobile-services switching center. In this embodiment, the cellular exchange subsystem is coupled to a public cellular network, and the native cellular handsets represent handsets that subscribe to the hybrid cellular communication network. The hybrid cellular communication network further facilitates cellular communication between a non-native cellular handset and the public cellular network, with the non-native cellular handset and the public cellular network, with the non-native cellular handset being a cellular handset that does not subscribe to the hybrid cellular communication network. In this embodiment, the method includes the steps of receiving access request data, using a cellular exchange subsystem, and ascertaining whether the access request data originates from one of the plurality of native cellular handsets or from the non-native cellular handset. If the access request data originates from the one of the plurality of native cellular handsets, the method then passes data relating to the access request to the private mobile-services switching center for completing a first call path from the one of the plurality of native cellular handsets. On the other hand, if the access request data originates from the non-native cellular handset, the method passes data relating to the access request data to the public cellular network for completing a second call path between the non-native cellular handset and the public cellular network.
