Title: Shutter drive
Inventor: BOUCHIER RAYMOND
IPC: E06B9/56
Filed: 1993-01-26
Abstract: An auxiliary drive unit (30) intended for driving a chain (11) in a horizontal track (12) is arranged to operate only when a forward end (33) of the chain passes a predetermined point. A drive sprocket (16) engages with the chain and initially freewheels until the forward end (33) of the chain contacts a switch (34), actuating a drive motor (13) of the auxiliary drive (30). The drive sprocket (16) is normally "parked" in a precisely orientated position so as to engage the forward end (33) of the chain (11) cleanly. The sprocket (16) has a plurality of circumferentially spaced alternating polarity magnetic poles (22, 23) which park the sprocket (16) precisely in position relative to opposite polarity magnetic poles (27) provided on a fixed member of the auxiliary drive unit. The auxiliary drive unit (30) is particularly designed for driving a rolling shutter (10) suspended from a chain (11) running in a horizontally extending track (12).

Inventor: BAKER DONALD L
IPC: G05F1/613
Filed: 1993-11-11
Abstract: A downhole power supply system has a variable voltage surface power supply and a downhole shunt voltage regulator (34) between which is disposed in series an energy transducing device (32). The shunt voltage regulator (34) comprises a current control device (Q2) which controls the amount of current shunted to the power return line (N2) between the series connected energy transducing device (32) and the input to the voltage regulator (34) to maintain a selected voltage at the voltage regulator. The shunt regulator (34) senses the voltage on the power line (N1), compares the sensed voltage to the selected voltage, and controls the shunt current control device (Q2) to conduct more or less current in the event that the two voltages are not equal. As a result, changing the voltage at the remote power source will change the voltage across the transducing device (32) and the amount of current conducted through it thus changing its output. In the case where the energy transducing device (32) is a lamp, its intensity can be directly controlled by the voltage of the remote power source. Other voltage regulator features include over-voltage protection and reverse polarity protection.

Date Mar. 17, 1994.Optical magnifying apparatus comprises an objective lens (11) from which light is directed to a beam splitting mirror (12). A portion of the light passes through the beam splitting mirror to a first concave mirror (13) and is reflected back via the beam splitting mirror through a viewing lens (5) to a first eye (16) of an observer. The remainder of the light is reflected by the beam splitting mirror to a second concave mirror (17) from which it is reflected back via the beam splitting mirror through the viewing lens to a second eye (19) of the observer. Focussed first and second images (14, 18) of an object (10) are produced respectively on the surfaces of the first and second concave mirrors. The optical axes of the concave mirrors are relatively offset such that the relayed pupils of the mirrors are separated horizontally by a distance approximately equal to the average interpupillary spacing of an observer. The relative inclination of the optical axes of the concave mirrors may be adjustable to enable non-stereoscopic or stereoscopic images of the object to be observed.

Title: High pressure fuel injector with fuel drainage valve.
Inventor: KOLARIK OLDRICH S
IPC: F02M57/02
Filed: 1993-09-16
Abstract: An improved high pressure fuel injector (10') for internal combustion engines in which problems of hysteresis delays and fuel leakage at the commencement of the metering process can be avoided without affecting the ability to precisely control the fuel supply pressure by the provision of a way for the metering and injection plunger (26) to be acted upon only by the pressure of the incoming fuel supply. An improved metering and injection plunger spring arrangement (68, Sd) provides a valving of the drain path (44) that prevents leakage through drain passages (44, 66) and/or about the metering and injection plunger (26) during the fuel metering and injection phases. Also, a double check valve arrangement (34, 38) is incorporated into the plunger seat disc (6) to minimize the possibility of back-flow leakage of fuel during injection of the fuel from the metering and injection chamber (M).

The memory controller (12) controls the memory (13) to write and read data such that data are read from the memory (13) in a unit of time at a transfer rate lower than the transfer rate at which data are written in the memory in a unit of time. The servo control circuit (9) supplies a servo control signal to the recording and/or reproducing means (3,6), and has an adjustable servo control gain. The system controller controls operation of the recording and/or reproducing unit (3,6), the memory controller (12), and the servo control circuit (9). The input data are recorded on the recording medium (1) through the memory (13) and the data reproduced from the recording medium (1) are outputted through the memory (13). The system controller (11) temporarily interrupts the recording of data on the recording medium (1) or the reproducing of data from the recording medium (1) with the recording and/or reproducing unit based on the amount of data stored in the memory (13), and controls the servo control circuit (9) and the recording and/or reproducing unit (3,6) to automatically adjust the servo control gain while the recording or reproducing of data is temporarily interrupted.
