Abstract: The invention provides a method of making an article, e.g. a tray, from sheet material (7) such as thermoplastics, whereby sharp edges are avoided, comprising the step of deforming the sheet to form the article (3) with a marginal flange (5) having a down-turned lip (6), and cutting the article from the sheet to form a cut edge (12) at the extremity of the down-turned lip, and characterised by the steps of forming the down-turned lip (6) with an inwardly projecting recess or depression (10) extending lengthwise of the lip (6), and crimping the down-turned lip to form a folded or rounded corner (11) in the down-turned lip and to bring the cut edge (12) into the vicinity of the folded or rounded corner to form a finished edge (11, 12). From another aspect the invention is a forming tool for finishing or rolling the edge (12) of an article (3) of the kind referred to above characterised by means (2) for engaging the lip (6) and cutting the article (3) from the sheet (7) and by means (1, 4) for engaging and crimping the down-turned lip (6) to form a folded or rounded corner (11) in the lip and to bring the cut edge (12) into the vicinity of the folded or rounded corner to form a finished edge (11, 12).

Abstract: An EEPROM memory device having dual EEPROM transistor blocks for storing a charge and a current mirror for determining the difference in charge between the EEPROM transistor blocks. During a write operation, one EEPROM transistor block is charged while the other block is discharged. During a read operation, the current mirror attempts to supply equal current to each of the EEPROM transistor blocks. However, because each block has a different charge, more current will be forced through one leg of the current mirror. This results in a voltage difference across the legs of the current mirror which can be read by a voltage sensor.

Abstract: The reticle (11) display device has a light source (10) producing said reticle, an imaging lens system (12) and a beam splitter (13) which reflects one part of the light into a viewing beam path and directs the other part onto a two-dimensional photosensor array (18). The actual position of the reticle can be determined from the signals of this array, while a ballistics computer specifies the desired position. Control signals for the continuous movement of the reticle are produced from the desired/actual comparison and simultaneously correspond to the lead and correction angle relative to the optical axis of the viewing beam path. The signals of the photosensor array additionally control the contrast of the reticle with respect to its immediate surroundings. The movement of the reticle is performed by tilting the imaging lens system, displacing the light source or rotating wedges (20) about the optical axis.
