Title: Solenoid-operated fluid-flow control valve assemblies
Inventor: WARD ANDREW JOHN
IPC: B60T8/36
Filed: 1991-01-26
Abstract: A fluid-flow control valve assembly in an anti-lock braking system comprises a first, solenoid-operated normally open valve (23), and a second, pressure-responsive valve (24), which are arranged between an inlet (25) and an outlet (26). The first valve has a valve head (27) and a seating (29), and the second valve (24) comprises a differential piston (32) movable between an open position in which valve head (34) is spaced from seating (25) and a closed position (as illustrated) in response to changes in master cylinder (1) and return line (43) pressures acting on the piston. In the open position the second valve (24) defines a first unrestricted flow path between the inlet and the outlet, and in the closed position second valve (24) defines a second smaller restricted flow path (36) between the inlet and the outlet. When the pressures in the master cylinder and the return line are substantially equal the valve (24) will assume the open position, but when wheel lock is sensed the pressure in return line (43) will be reduced by energisation of solenoid-operated valve (3), thus causing valve (24) to close, and the valve (23) will also be closed. Thereafter, pressure is restored at the brake (2) during anti-lock control by pulsing solenoid (7) to permit flow from the master cylinder to the brake via the restricted flow path (36). <IMAGE>

Title: Charge-coupled image sensor
Inventor: DAVID MORGAN WILLIAM AMOS
IPC: H04N5/3728
Filed: 1991-12-09
Abstract: A charge-coupled image sensor having adjacent image acquisition 500 and image storage areas 600, 610 is described. Pixel transfer can take place from the image acquisition area 500 to the image storage area 600, 610 and from the image storage area to an output register 340 simultaneously and at different respective transfer rates. This allows the image transfer into the storage area to begin during the active field period, i.e. while pixels are still being transferred from the storage area into the output register. In a preferred embodiment this is achieved by partitioning the image storage area into a first 600 and a second 610 storage section which can selectively operate at the same or different transfer clocking rates. The arrangement of partitioned storage area may be used in frame-interline sensors as well as frame transfer image sensors. <IMAGE>

Title: Variable-pitch sheet feeder for selective printers
Inventor: NOJIMA MASAMITSU
IPC: B41J19/96
Filed: 1992-04-13
Abstract: In a selective printer the paper feedroll is driven from a sprocket via a one-way clutch, the sprocket being driven by an arcuate toothed portion of an oscillatory intermediate member, and the intermediate member being selectively driven by one of a number of coaxially arranged cams according to the desired line pitch of the printing. As shown (see Fig 20) the oscillatory member (29) may be driven either by a single lobed cam (23a) or by a multilobed cam of greater "throw (24) according to whether the cams are engaged with each other via spring-urged pins (not shown) under the control of an electromagnetically operated lever (also not shown). The arcuate toothed portion of the oscillatory member engages a sprocket which is freely mounted on the feedroll driveshaft for both rotation and limited axial motion. The sprocket is controlled by a fixed (machine-frame-mounted) pin engaged in a circumferential cam groove so as to approach a drive disc (fast with the feedroll shaft) when rotated in one direction, and to recede from it when rotated oppositely. Both sprocket and drive disc bear mutually engagable axially directed teeth. The sprocket is normally disengaged (in its resting position) whereby the feedroll may be freely adjusted by a handwheel. <IMAGE>
