Abstract: 1,119,587. Change-speed control. MORSE CONTROLS Inc. 8 Dec., 1966 [28 Jan., 1966], No. 54937/66. Headings F2D and F2K. A hand-operated change-speed lever 11 adapted to range a six-speed automatic transmission comprises an arm 70 extending through a slotted plate 14 presenting six shift stations (11-1 to 11-6), Fig. 2 (not shown), and a hub portion 23 formed with a slot 59 through which passes a shaft 24 carrying a journal sleeve (65), Fig. 7 (not shown), to which the hub is connected by a resilient bushing 58 allowing pivoting of the lever 11 about the mirror axis of the slot 59 against increasing resistance from the bushing, but preventing twisting of the lever about the major axis of the slot to obviate wedging of the lever in the slotted plate 14. On rotating the lever 11 about the shaft 24, the hub portion 23 acts on a push-pull cable 26 to condition the change-speed transmission for automatic operation under the influence of vehicle speed or engine manifold depression. The hub 58 and sleeve (65) may be vulcanized with high quality rubber to ensure permanent attachment thereof to the bushing. Holes 44a, 44b provide alternative mounting positions for the push-pull cable 26. The lever 11 is formed with an elbow, Fig. 5 (not shown), to ensure biasing thereof towards the stepped side of the plate 14 at all times. A safety switch 72 (not further described), prevents starting of the engine unless lever 11 is in neutral. In position (11-1), the transmission is in neutral; in (11-2) in reverse; in (11-3) automatic shifts from low through two intermediate ratios to top are provided; in (11-4) top is omitted; in (11-5) an automatic shift from low to the lower of the two intermediate ratios is provided; and in (11-6) an automatic shift from a sub-creeper to a creeper ratio below low is provided.

Abstract: Each pixel (PXL) includes a light emitting element (OLED) with a brightness value
which varies depending upon an amount of current supplied thereto, a first TFT (TFT1)
controlled by a scanning line (X) for writing brightness information given thereto from a data
line (Y) into the pixel, and a second TFT (TFT2) for controlling the amount of current to be
supplied to the OLED corresponding to the brightness information written. Writing of the
brightness information into each pixel (PXL) is performed by applying an electric signal
corresponding to the brightness information to the data line (Y) while the scanning line (X)
is selected. The brightness information written in each pixel (PXL) is held by the pixel also
after the scanning line is placed into a non-selected state so that the OLED can continue
lighting with a brightness value corresponding to the brightness information held by the pixel
(PXL). A stopping control line compulsorily extinguishes the OLEDs of the pixels
connected to the same scanning line (X) at least in a unit of a scanning line (X) so that the
OLEDs are placed into an extinguished state from a lit state within a period of one scanning
cycle after the brightness information is written into the pixels (PXL) until new brightness
information is written into the pixels (PXL) subsequently.

Abstract: The blade (8) seats with limited play in a sliding guide (23). It pivots through a limited angle, about its longitudinal axis. The blade is supported in the holder at three points. The first is on the upper surface (29) of the blade (8). The second is on its underside (30). Seen along the blade longitudinal axis, these locations are offset along its length. The first support (24) is closer to the cutting edge than the second (25). The third support is located at the rear end of the blade, remote from the cutting edge. Preferred features: The third support is formed by a projection (33) of the holder, at the rear edge (28) of the blade. First and second supports are pointed- or spherical, especially tips of bolts or screws. They are grub screws (31, 32) in tapped bores of the holder. The sliding guide (23) is fastened to a pivot peg (13). Spring-loading is applied, to exert pressure at the blade cutting edge (against the cutting face). To stop the blade from sliding out, a spring-loaded e.g. ball or a magnet, retains it in the guide, engaging a recess in the blade. The ball or magnet may be located in the sliding guide, on the upper surface of the blade, preferably opposite the second support. The magnet rests against the rear edge of the blade. The guide sliding surfaces are smoothed, preferably polished and hardened. It comprises two connected components. One (34) includes the first support and guides the top surface and sides of the blade. The other (35) includes the second support, and guides the underside of the blade.
