Title: Magnetic card reading equipment
Inventor: JERVIS E R
IPC: G06K13/063
Filed: 1985-03-18
Abstract: In magnetic card reading equipment, the card (20) is moved along a transport path (13, 17) by a drive wheel (30) which presses the card against a magnetic head (40). A resilient frusto-conical bevelled portion of the drive wheel imposes a lateral bias on the card to maintain it securely against a bearing surface (12) to one side of the path. The card has a centrally disposed magnetic strip (21), the drive wheel and magnetic head being accordingly spaced from the bearing surface (12) by half the width of the card, and sufficient lateral bias is provided by tilting the rotational axis (32) of the drive wheel to effectively increase the bevel. A wheel having a bevel ( alpha ) of 1 degree and tilted ( beta ) by 2 degrees has been found to provide a more effective bias than a wheel having a bevel of 3 degrees. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2160583-A (GB)
Title: Door operating mechanism
Inventor: SCOTT ANDREW CHRISTOPHER
IPC: E05D3/06
Filed: 1985-06-18
Abstract: The mechanism enables a door, particularly a door of a vehicle, to be mounted for movement outwardly and laterally of a door opening instead of being hinged for outward swinging movement on hinges at a side of the door. No guide rails are used and the mechanism intrudes only minimally within the vehicle. Side opening door 1 has aligned mountings 2, 2A. Similar mountings 3, 3A are secured to the vehicle adjacent the rear of the door 1. Links 4, 5 are pivotally connected together and pivotally connected respectively to mountings 2, 2A and 3, 3A. Cranked link 12 is pivoted between the front edge of door 1 and mounting 9 in stepwell 7. Cam followers 21 are slidable on link 5 between cam surfaces on mountings 3, 3A and link 4. Initial opening movement of the door is outward by pivoting of links 12, 4 whilst the cam mechanism prevents pivoting of link 5. Link 4 is then locked and link 5 freed so subsequent movement is laterally of the opening by pivoting of links 12, 5. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2217061-A (GB)
Title: Data processing system debugging
Inventor: TREVETT NEIL FRANCIS
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 1988-03-23
Abstract: A computer system with an architectural feature which permits debugging. This system includes "claw" logic. The claw logic claws back control to the monitor task after one instruction in the user task has been run. The instruction which returns control to the user task requests a claw interrupt. This is delayed by one cycle so that the interrupt occurs on the first instruction executed in the user task. So control is restored to the monitor task before the second instruction in the user task is executed. This means that the monitor process (used during debugging) can single-step the application program, without the monitor program itself having to be single-stepped.
