IPC: G09F9/30
Filed: 1996-10-23
Abstract: Process and materials are described for selectively placing uniform spacers on a receptor. Spacer elements are placed on a receptor by selectively irradiating a thermal transfer donor sheet comprising a transferable spacer layer. The transferable spacer layer may include particles or fibers to form a composite. The particles may have a spacing dimension either greater than or less than the thickness of the transferable layer. When the spacing dimension of the particle is greater than the thickness of the transferable layer, then the spacing dimension of the particles control the spacing distance. The process and materials are useful in the manufacture of flat panel displays, particularly, liquid crystal display devices.

Abstract: In a scroll type fluid displacement apparatus having a rotation preventing mechanism (27) constituted by a combination of a first annular race (27a), a second annular race (27b), and a plurality of balls (27c) arranged between the first and second annular races, the first and the second annular races are formed with radially recessed portions at peripheries thereof and fixed to a movable scroll (26) and a housing with caulking parts of the movable scroll and the housing into the radially recessed portions, respectively. A fixed scroll (25) is fixed to a housing (10). The movable scroll is coupled to the fixed scroll to define fluid pockets in cooperation with the fixed scroll therebetween and is prevented from being rotated relative to the fixed scroll. When the movable scroll is driven to have orbital motion without being rotated, the fluid pockets are displaced between the movable and the fixed scrolls.

Abstract: A pump dispenser (101) connected to a container
(107) of liquid has a first piston (3) reciprocatable
in a first cylinder (5) for pumping a quantity of
liquid at each depression of the piston. A valve
member (8) received within a channel in the first
piston is spring biassed into a position in which a
dispensing outlet (19) is normally closed and is
movable to release liquid in response to excess liquid
pressure in the first chamber. A cylindrical
extension (11) to the valve member defines a conduit
(60) communicating with liquid in the container and is
separable from the valve member to open a liquid inlet
port (105) for recharging the first chamber. A second
piston (39) is movable in tandem with the first piston
and co-operates with a second cylinder (41) to provide
suction on a return stroke of the pistons which is
utilised to remove residual liquid from a dispensing
channel (7) delivering pumped liquid to a nozzle (32).
Residual liquid collected in the second chamber is
returned to the container during the next subsequent
actuating stroke of the pistons. An actuator (20)
mounted on the first piston communicates lost motion
to the second piston and provides valve action for
connecting the second cylinder to the dispensing
channel only during the return stroke. The dispenser
is particularly useful for water borne liquid products
because its self-cleaning action prevents clogging.

IPC: B64G1/10
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: A spacecraft structure using functionally independent modules assembled
around a lightweight core structure to provide a vehicle that is lighter, uses less volume,
and is easier to design, manufacture and test than a conventional spacecraft. In the
disclosed embodiments, the modules are formed on generally flat panels, which serve as
thermal radiators. The modules extend radially from the core structure and are attached to
the core structure either in coplanar rows that extend axially along the core structure or in
a coplanar set that extends circumferentially around the core structure. Interconnection
between modules is achieved through a backbone interface, through which the modules
are connected to the core structure. A large number of variant configurations may be
implemented using the modular approach, by selecting a core, components and modules
of number and size to meet mission requirements. The modular spacecraft may be easily
designed and adapted to operate with its radiating modules facing in north-south
directions for maximum thermal radiation, or in other orientations as needed for specific
missions. All of the configurations have the advantage that they occupy a relatively small
volume and allow large components, such as antennas and solar arrays, to be stowed for
launch in the ample spaces between rows of modules.

Abstract: A synchronous binary counter (30) has a plurality of stages (20A,20B), each with a
number of synchrounously clocked flipflops (21 to 23) and combinational logic (24 to
26) for determining the states of these flipflops following their next clocking. Each
stage (20B), other than the first, receives a carry signal from a preceding stage (20A).
In order to avoid the carry signals passed to later stages (20B) being subject to
excessive ripple-through delays in the combinatinal logic (24A, 25A, 26A) in the
preceding stages (20A), the carry signal passed from one stage to another is delayed
by a delayed-carry circuit (31) such that it is input to the receiving stage (20B) at the
start of the clock period following that in which it was generated by the outputting
stage (20A). This enables any number of counter stages to be serially interconnected
without problems caused by signal delay in the combinational logic.

Abstract: The bearing (B) for enabling an axle shaft (A) to
rotate in a housing (C) includes a cup (20) which is
attached to the housing (C), a cone (22) which fits over
the axle shaft (A), and tapered rollers (24) arranged in a
single row between tapered raceways (44, 62) on the cup (20)
and cone (22). The cup (20) has a thrust rib (46) at the
large diameter end of its raceway (44), while another
thrust rib (66) is located at the small diameter end of the
cone raceway (62). The arrangement is such that the bearing
(B) transmits radial loads and thrust loads in both
directions. In one direction the thrust loads are taken on
the raceways (44, 62); in the other through the ribs (46,
66). The cup (20) contains an oblique bore (52) which opens
toward the axis of rotation beyond the small diameter end
of the cup raceway (44), and this bore (52) contains a
speed sensor (30). An exterior ring rotates with the cone
(22) immediately inwardly from the speed sensor (30), and
it has disruptions which cause the sensor (30) to produce a
pulsating signal, the frequency of which reflects the
angular velocity. The excitor ring may be part of a rib
ring (26) that fits over the axle shaft (A) and against the
end of the cone (22), or it may be on a locking collar that
fits over the axle shaft and against the end of the cone.
The cone may be an integral part of the axle shaft with its
raceway being a surface on the axle shaft.

Abstract: Le circuit audio (10) de micro-ordinateur de la présente invention décrit des interfaces avec un micro-ordinateur hôte et apporte des améliorations à un tel micro-ordinateur hôte du type à processeur central, mémoire système et bus système. Ce circuit audio (10) de micro-ordinateur comporte un processeur de signal numérique (DSP) (16) permettant de traiter des données de tableaux d'ondes et de générer des signaux audio numériques correspondant à une pluralité de voix. Le procédé consiste à stocker dans la mémoire système de l'ordinateur hôte les données de tableaux d'ondes et à les transférer partie après partie suivant ce dont le DSP (16) a besoin vers une antémémoire (22) bon marché et plus petite incorporée au circuit audio (10) du micro-ordinateur. Le DSP (16) traite plusieurs trames d'échantillons de données correspondant à une voix active avant de traiter une autre voix. En procédant de cette façon, on évite les difficultés afférent au pourcentage d'occupation de la largeur de bande du système et au temps de latence maximum autorisé du bus système. On évite encore mieux ces difficultés en extrayant des données de tableaux d'ondes compensées en fréquence et en les stockant dans la mémoire système en vue de leur récupération par le DSP (16) qui ira générer des signaux audio numériques caractérisés par des débits haute fréquence. Le procédé consiste ensuite à faire, en antémémoire (22), un cumul des signaux audio numériques de chacune des voix actives. Une fois terminé le cumul des signaux audio numériques correspondant à toutes les voix actives, les données de cumul sont transmises de l'antémémoire (22) à un dénumériseur externe. Le fait de stocker dans la mémoire système les données de tableaux d'ondes permet d'utiliser une antémémoire (22) plus petite et moins cher que la mémoire locale des circuits audio pour micro-ordinateurs selon l'état antérieur de la technique, ce qui fait que le circuit audio (10) pour micro-ordinateur de l'invention coûte dans l'ensemble moins cher.
