Patent EP-0119778-A3 (EP)
IPC: B60S1/34
Filed: 1984-03-05
Abstract: A windscreen wiper mechanism includes a motor driven 
reciprocating link (112) oscillating on rotary wiper arm shaft 
(116) via an arm (115) secured to the shaft (116). A limit 
switch (117) is slidably mounted on a fixed plate (118) through 
rivets (130) and an elongate slot (131) and a friction material 
(132). An operating member (121) of the limit switch (117) is 
disposed to be engaged by a member (140) mounted on arm 
(115). The limit switch (117) is mounted so that the force 
required to move it relative to the plate (118) is greater than 
that required to operate the operating member (121) but less 
than the maximum force which can be applied by the motor to 
the arm (115). The position of the limit switch (117) can thus 
be initially set automatically. A plate (128) on the body of 
the switch (117) provides an abutment for the member (140) 
on the arm (115) so that the overwiping and unwanted locking 
of the mechanism is prevented by the abutment which is auto­
matically set in the required position initially.

Patent EP-0157546-A3 (EP)
Title: Laser marking apparatus
IPC: B23K26/06
Filed: 1985-03-21
Abstract: Apparatus for inscribing characters or other symbols onto moving articles or substrate. The symbols or characters are defined by a matrix having a predetermined number of rows and colums. The apparatus includes a plurality of individual lasers, each dedicated to write a predetermined character row. Columns are written in sequence as the article passes the laser head. Light energy from the lasers is directed by mirrors to an exit lens which focuses the laser beams onto the articles or substrate to be marked. Separate laser mirrors provide reduction in laser beam spacing thereby facilitating a correspondingly foreshortened laser beam path. The lasers are arranged into two groups and interleaved to form the desired character row spacing without mirror overlap or shadowing.

IPC: G10H1/32
Filed: 1986-01-27
Abstract: An adjustable and collapsible triangulated tension sup­
port structure having a generally H-shaped planar configura­
tion. Two vertical members are connected to a horizontal 
compression member and flexible diagonally crossed ten­
sion members extend from one vertical member to the other 
below the compression member. An adjustable tension 
member is connected to both vertical members at points 
located above the horizontal compression member so that

horizontal compression member thereby putting the diagon­
ally crossed tensioning member under tension. At least on 
horizontal shelf bracket is connected to and extends out­
wardly from the upper portion of each vertical member to 
define a supporting surface for electronic apparatus. The 
structure can be collapsed for transportation by moving the 
vertical members together in an adjacent configuration.

Patent EP-0252758-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 1987-07-10
Abstract: The invention provides a mass spectrometer (10) for 
the analysis of a sample dissolved in a fluid, and 
in particular a spectrometer for the analysis of high 
molecular weight compounds in the eluent of a liquid 
chromatograph.  
     The fluid to be analyzed is at least partly vaporized 
and sprayed into the cathode dark space (45) of a 
glow discharge (46). Ions characteristic of the sample 
are extracted from the discharge and subsequently mass 
analyzed. Conveniently, spraying into the cathode dark 
space (45) is achieved by making the cathode electrode 
of the discharge comprise the spraying means (38) 
through which the fluid is sprayed. Little 
fragmentation of the high mass ions is caused by the 
process, and the invention extends the range of 
compounds which can be analyzed in comparison with 
similar prior art thermospray type mass spectrometers.

IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 1988-08-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling two or more 
video display devices using a single display controller, 
where the display devices generally require different 
control data. Basic display control parameters are stored 
in a memory and, when the controller is to be switched 
from one display device to another, the parameters are 
read from the memory into a substitution device. The 
substitution device receives modification control signals 
which depend on the newly selected display device and 
modifies the display control parameters before re­
programming the display controller. The display 
controller then contains the parameters as appropriately 
modified for the currently controlled display device. The 
operator can switch from one monitor to another by 
generating an appropriate control signal, whereupon the 
substitution device again reads the control parameters 
from the memory, modifies them according to the newly 
selected display device, and re-programs the display 
controller using the modified parameters.

Title: Logic path length reduction using boolean minimization
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1988-11-10
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing the number of 
gate levels of a logic network. The gates of the 
network are levelized in a forward and backward 
direction to determine the worst path length of the 
network. A gate in the worst path is selected in 
accordance with a specified scoring function. A local 
Boolean compression is applied to the selected gate, 
thereby reducing the number of gate levels of the 
logic network.
