Abstract: According to the invention, a rotary cutter is provided, which 
includes a fixed blade (40) having a straight cutting edge (42) and 
a rotary blade (52) having a spiral cutting edge (58). The rotary 
blade is installed for rotation about an axis extending parallel to 
the cutting edge of the fixed blade, the spiral cutting edge of the 
rotary blade moving along a path which extends tangentially to said 
cutting edge of the fixed blade. At least one of the fixed blade 
and the rotary blade is shorter than the width of a paper strip 
(30). Accordingly, the rotary blade and the fixed blade cooperate 
with each other to partially cut the paper strip widthwise while 
leaving the opposite end portions uncut. The fixed blade has 
opposite surfaces (64,66) extending toward the cutting edge 
thereof, one (64) of which comprises an inclined surface formed on 
the paper inlet side of the fixed blade and disposed at an angle 
less than 60° with respect to the paper strip. Accordingly, the 
cut strip can get over the fixed blade without being caught thereon 
immediately after cutting.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing pressure development with a pair of pressurizing rollers
IPC: G03F7/00
Filed: 1990-01-30
Abstract: An image recording apparatus for recording an image of 
an original on a developer sheet with the use of a microcap­
sule, in which the developer sheet and the microcapsule 
sheet having a surface coated with immense number of photo­
sensitive and pressure-rupturable microcapsules are subject­
ed to pressure development by a pair of pressurizing roll­
ers. To ensure that the pressure development is performed 
under the condition where the developer sheet and the micro­
capsule sheet are superposed one on the other, the nip and 
retract timings of the pressurizing rollers are determined 
properly according to the present invention. For example, 
the developer sheet is conveyed at a speed asynchronous with 
the microcapsule conveying speed and the conveyance of the 
developer sheet is stopped after its leading edge is intro­
duced between the rollers held in spaced apart condition. 
The rollers are brought to the nip position to thereby start 
the pressure development when the exposure start line on the 
microcapsule sheet is in alignment with the leading end of 
the developer sheet. The retract timing is determined, for 
example, depending upon the size of the developer sheet.

Abstract: The improved annular sea (10) of the present invention provides a seal across an annular space between facing cylindrical surfaces (20, 24) and includes an outer annular ring (26), and an inner annular ring (28). The gap between the outer annular ring(26) and the inner annular ring (28) is suitably sealed at (27, 29) at one-end thereof so that the open end is open to admit pressure which is to be sealed between the two rings. An outer sealing element (36) is provided on the exterior of the outer annular ring, and an inner sealing element (38) on the interior of said inner annular ring so that pressure exerted between the annular rings urges them apart and their sealing elements against the surfaces of the annular space. In another form of the invention three annular rings are provided with one end of the inner and outer rings being sealing to the end of the intermediate ring and with sealing elements on the exterior of the outer ring and on the interior of the inner ring so that the sealing elements are urged into sealing engagement with the surfaces of the annular space. Another form of the invention includes annular rings which vary in thickness from one end to the other so that they may have greater or less flexibility as needed to provide a response to the pressure responsive movements of the inner and outer members.
Patent EP-0380460-A3 (EP)
Title: Conflict detection and resolution between moving objects
IPC: B64F1/36
Filed: 1990-01-22
Abstract: A machine-implemented method for detecting and resolving 
conflict between a plurality of objects on trajectories in 
space. A two-dimensional representation is generated which 
depicts the trajectory of one of the objects and the times 
remaining until conflict of said one object with front and 
back limiting trajectories, respectively, of at least one 
other of the objects. An indication of potential conflict is 
displayed on said representation when the trajectory of said 
one object is between the front and back limiting trajectories 
of said other object. The front and back limiting trajec­
tories for each such other object are calculated by enclosing 
a preselected protected airspace about said one object in an 
imaginary parallelogram having one set of sides parallel to 
the trajectory of said one object and the other set of sides 
parallel to relative velocity of such other object with 
respect to said one object. The sides parallel to said 
relative velocity depict the times, respectively, during which 
said one object will be closest to the protected airspace just 
touching it from the front and closest to the back of said 
protected airspace without touching it. Conflict is resolved 
by diverting said one object by an appropriate maneuver to a 
conflict-free path in which the trajectory of said one object 
no longer lies between the front and back limiting trajec­
tories of any other object.
