Abstract: In a power-operated valve in which the pressure of a working fluid is used to control the opening and closing of the valve member in dependence on the condition of an integral power-operated bleed valve (35), a compensation passage (28) being formed in the valve member (24) to permit working fluid to close the valve when the bleed valve is closed, the compensation passage is formed in that area of the valve member which is bounded by the valve seating and which also defines the cross-sectional area of the inlet chamber, whereby the closing force on the valve member is proportional to the area of the valve housing, thus enhancing the sensitivity of the valve. In a preferred embodiment, a filter is incorporated in the valve member to filter the working fluid to the compensation passage without filtering the bulk of fluid passing through the valve.

Abstract: A single in-line memory module socket employing edge stamped contacts positioned within an insulative housing is disclosed. Each terminal has opposed beams with a loop section intermediate the ends of upwardly extending portions of those beams. Inwardly inclined arms extend downwardly from the top of the opposed beams and the contacts are configured so that majority of the deflection of the beams occurs in these inwardly inclined arms. A central post extends upwardly from the base of the terminals and engages housing ribs located within a central spine located along the bottom of a panel receiving slot in the insulative housing. Cavities intersect the slots receiving the circuit panels and the terminals can be inserted into the respective cavities from the bottom, with the posts extending upwardly from the base securing the terminals by engagement with the central spine. Panel support guides extend upwardly at either end of the housing and ridges on flexible walls in the housing stabilize the modules in the sockets.

Inventor: HAMSTRA JAMES R
IPC: G06F5/10
Filed: 1990-11-21
Abstract: A first-in, first-out (FIFO) memory configuration comprising a fully addressable memory (e.g. random access memory), a write pointer, a read pointer, and a third, "commit" pointer serving as a boundary between first and second subsets of data stored within the FIFO. During data reception, a comparator circuit compares a predetermined subset of incoming data with a predefined reference data set for determining whether the incoming data should be stored or aborted. This determination establishes the appropriate memory address value for positioning the commit pointer. The first subset of data behind the commit pointer may selectively be stored, while the second subset of data ahead of the commit pointer may selectively be aborted. During data transmission, a status register monitors the readiness of the data medium onto which the data is to be transmitted. If and/or when the data medium is ready to accept data, the commit pointer may be selectively positioned to demarcate data committed for transmission.

IPC: G06K15/02
Filed: 1990-12-21
Abstract: This invention relates to a dot printer of the type in which received printing data are converted into dot-patterns to be printed. A printer of this type mainly comprises: a main memory (2) which stores the printing data as either fixed part data and variable part data; a mechanism for identifying the fixed part data and the variable part data; and a buffer or buffers (B1, B2) for storing the result of performing an operation, usually called "dot-expansion," on the printing data stored in the main memory (2). The contents of the buffers (B1, B2) are applied to the printing head (H), which in turn, prints dot-images on a sheet of paper. Because the CPU (1) dot-expands and recopies only the variable part data in the main memory (2) into the buffer (B1, B2), a needless computation associated with dot-expanding fixed-part data is eliminated. In addition, if two buffers (B1, B2) are used, a first buffer may hold dot-expanded data while the printing head is operating and while the other buffer is being filled with dot-expanded data, to be printed subsequent to the printing of the contents of the first buffer. Segmenting the main memory into fixed part data and variable part data and two-buffer scheme allow printers of the present invention to print a document faster than conventional dot-printers.
