Filed: 1993-10-14
Abstract: An apparatus for advancing a plurality of different predetermined lengths of twist tie ribbon is disclosed. The apparatus includes a guide for guiding the ribbon along a feed path and a pair of opposed rollers for displacing the twist tie ribbon therebetween. A first of the rollers has first and second circumferential portions and is displacable toward and away from the second roller. The second of the rollers has a first circumferential portion in registration with the first circumferential portion of the first roller and carries a plurality of biasing segments. At least all but one of the biasing segments are slidably mounted on the second roller. The biasing segments are slidable between a first position at which the biasing segments do not contact the second peripheral portion of the first roller, and a second position, wherein the biasing segments contact the first roller and displaces the first roller out of engagement with the tie ribbon, so that the tie ribbon is not displaced by the pair of opposed rollers. The advancing apparatus is readily in- tegratable into a twist tie machine that is capable of wrapping a plurality of different sized objects. The predetermined lengths of ribbon are delivered to an operating position, at which they move a slide which mechanically displaces a hoop to bring the free end of the ribbon to an interior region thereof. In response to the displacement of the slide, the length of ribbon is cut-off and twisted.

Abstract: A disk apparatus is disclosed. A movable chassis assembly having a turntable and a pickup head is detachably supported on elastic members by a stationary chassis assembly with the lock mechanism of the stationary chassis assembly engaged with lock pins disposed on the movable chassis. A holder located on the movable chassis assembly for holding a disk cartridge to load or eject the disk cartridge is transported by a loader located on the stationary chassis assembly in a predetermined transport direction. Pin driving means located in the loader disengages lock pins when the lock mechanism is touched by the pin driving means at the end of the loading operation of the disk cartridge. A pair of pivoting cross links are connected at their crossings by a support pin that is engaged with a first guide slot in the stationary chassis assembly. One end of each of the pair of cross links is slidably engaged with a guide slot in the loader. The other end of each of the pair of cross links is slidably engaged with a guide slot in the stationary chassis. This arrangement eliminates variations in the load during loading and ejecting operations. A stable operation of the disk apparatus is thus assured. The disk apparatus prevents a double insertion of cartridges and an incorrect insertion, freeing the cartridge and disk apparatus from physical damage.

Abstract: An apparatus detects (516) a baud rate in a digital signal (442). An N-state counter (404) counts at a rate N times the baud rate and the digital signal is sampled (504) to detect transitions of the digital signal. N tallies (202) record how many transitions occur coincident with each of the states of the counter, and a total number of transitions detected is computed (508). M groups (204-210) of the tallies are formed (510) corresponding to contiguous sequential states of the counter, and for each group a group number is calculated (512) indicating how many transitions are recorded in the tallies of the group. Each group is defined (514) transitional if the group number exceeds a percentage (413) of the total number of transitions, and the baud rate is determined present or absent based upon the groups that are defined as transitional.
