Abstract: A ball-shooting game machine includes a vertical game board (1) having a front side with a vertical partition member (4) mounted thereon for dividing the game board (1) into a game zone (40) and a ball guide zone (41). The partition member (4) has a distal upper end which is spaced from an upper edge of the game board (1). A magnetic ball shooter (6) is disposed behind the game board (1) and includes a magnet (62) disposed adjacent to the ball guide zone (41), and a drive assembly for moving the magnet (62) between a first position adjacent to a lowermost portion (410) of the ball guide zone (41), and a second position adjacent to an uppermost portion (411) of the ball guide zone (41). When a metal game ball (65) is in the ball guide zone (41), movement of the magnet (62) from the first position to the second position will result in corresponding movement of the game ball (65) from the lowermost portion (410) to the uppermost portion (411) of the ball guide zone (41). A pivotable guard plate (7) is disposed at the upper end of the partition member (4), and enables the game ball (65) to fall into the game zone (40) when the magnet (62) moves from the second position back to the first position. To randomise ball movement, deflection pins can be mounted on rotating supports.

Title: Method of detecting operational faults in a common-rail fuel injector system for i.c. engines
Inventor: AUGUSTIN ULRICH
IPC: F02D41/22
Filed: 1997-03-24
Abstract: The fuel injection system (fig. 1) comprises a high pressure pump (1) and a common rail (6) supplying a number of solenoid valve controlled fuel injectors (2,3,4,5). The pump and the injectors are controlled by an electronic control unit (8). A pressure sensor (7) measures the actual pressure in the common rail at points P 1 , P 2 , P 3 between the end E e of injection and the start F b of feeding by the pump (1). If a sufficiently steeply falling pressure profile a is detected, eg as a result of a jammed injector needle, the pump (1) is deactivated but the intact injectors continue to be supplied with fuel, perhaps with increased quantities, so that the pressure in the common rail (6) is rapidly reduced. The risk of damage or even destruction of the engine is thus minimised.

Title: Cold plates cooling a linear motor
Inventor: CHITAYAT ANWAR
IPC: H02K41/03
Filed: 1997-04-14
Abstract: A linear motor has an epoxy core armature with dual cold plates 52,54 attached to a top and bottom of an epoxy core armature 50 to effect cooling of the armature by providing paths of high thermal conductivity from any point in the armature to the cold plates. Ceramic heat sink plates 60a, 60b laminated to sides of the armature increase the thermal conductivity without introducing magnetic or electrical conducing materials. Cold plates may be formed from extrusion of aluminium or ceramic materials. Other embodiments have forced air cooling wherein a U-frame of the linear motor has longitudinal flexible seals (Fig9), air being forced through the U-frame in which the epoxy core armature travels or has a U-frame (Fig8) with ducts formed therein through which air is force. Alternatively, ducts in the armature connect an inlet manifold to the interior of the U frame through which the epoxy core armature travels (Figs 10,11).

Title: Method of fabricating a semiconductor device having triple wells
Inventor: SHIM DAE YONG
IPC: H01L21/8238
Filed: 1997-10-23
Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device, in which a triple well is formed using two masks upon forming transistors of a memory device, thereby achieving a simplification in the fabrication processes and obtaining stabilized characteristics of the semiconductor device. The method includes the steps of forming an element isolation mask 30 on a silicon substrate, implanting N-type impurity ions in an exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate by use of an N-well mask 4, removing the N-well mask, and forming a field oxide film on the silicon substrate while simultaneously driving the N-type impurity ions of the N-well implant region into the semiconductor substrate in accordance with a thermal oxidation process, thereby forming a diffused N-well. In accordance with this method, the N-well is formed without a drive-in process. After the formation of the N-well, a P-well mask 18 is formed on the silicon substrate. Finally, P-type impurity ions are implanted in an exposed portion of the silicon substrate while varying a concentration of the P-type impurity ions and an ion implantation energy, thereby forming a P-well in the silicon substrate and an inner P-well in the N-well. Thus, a triple well is formed.

Title: Method and apparatus for applying a stable printed image onto a fabric substrate
Inventor: BOYD MELISSA D
IPC: B41M5/52
Filed: 1997-12-16
Abstract: An ink transfer sheet (200) includes a backing layer (202), a release layer (206) on the backing layer (202), and an ink receiving layer (212) on the release layer (206). The ink receiving layer (212) contains a quaternary ammonium salt (214) thereon or impregnated therein. To use the transfer sheet (200), an ink (100) containing an anionic coloring agent is applied to the ink receiving layer (212), preferably using thermal inkjet methods. Thereafter, the transfer sheet (200) is positioned on a fabric substrate (306). Heat is applied to the sheet (200) which causes the release layer (206) and ink receiving layer (212) to adhere to the substrate (306). The backing layer (202) is then detached from the release layer (206) leaving the release and ink receiving layers (206, 212) (with the printed image (304) thereon) on the substrate (306). This process transfers the image to the fabric substrate (306), with the image (304) being stabilized by interactions between the quaternary ammonium salt (214) and anionic coloring agent.

Title: Two-stage transfer printing method using radiant energy curable ink
Inventor: ROTH JOSEPH D
IPC: B41J2/385
Filed: 1998-02-04
Abstract: The method involves depositing an image X on a roller 10 using a curable ink B ejected from inkjet printheads 50. The image has an upper surface T and lower surface L so that as the roller rotates the upper surface of the image is exposed to a first radiant energy source 51 (e.g.UV light) to partially cure the image. The exposed image is then transferred to a receiving substrate A so that the upper and lower surfaces of the image are reversed in forming a transferred image Z on the substrate. A second radiant energy source 56 completes the curing of the image Z The roller may be preheated (31,Fig.2), wherein only one one radiant energy source is used to completely cure the image X. The roller can be replaced by a continuous belt or ribbon and the inkjet printheads by a thermal transfer printhead (Fig.4). Alternatively, the two types of printheads can be used in combination with a belt (Fig.5).

Title: Sheet feed
Inventor: LIN CHIN I
IPC: B41J13/10
Filed: 1998-04-07
Abstract: A sheet feed includes a sheet feeding roller 21 and a spring-biased paper lifting plate 15. With the spring unstressed, the roller is rotated in an anti-clockwise direction by a motor 51 driving an inner sun gear 24 coupled to the roller, thus feeding a sheet. A gear 26 between the inner and an outer sun gear 25 is rotated clockwise, so driving its supporting arm 28 downwards to depress the plate and prevent further feed. Feed is again possible once the arm has been driven to its starting position.
Patent GB-2325218-A (GB)
Title: Web feeding
Inventor: UWAGAKI HIDEO
IPC: B65H19/10
Filed: 1998-05-11
Abstract: In a printing machine when rolled paper (11) is set, one guide member (8) is pressed downward by an opened cover (3) so that it comes closer to body (2). At this time, a protruding member (17) provided on the one guide member (8) abuts against the other guide member (10). When the paper feeding mechanism operates, the cover (3) is closed so that the one guide member (8) separates from the body (2) and urged toward the other guide member (10) by spring (15), whereby the protruding member (17) abuts against the other guide member (10). Therefore, since the width of a feed path is determined by the height of the protruding member (17) between the one and other guide members (8, 10), insertion of a rolled paper end (21) is facilitated, and thus the paper can be smoothly carried with the aid of the tension of the paper.
