Abstract: A control circuit for a disk drive actuator is shown wherein the power to the actuator is switched from the normal power source to the spindle drive motor windings (50) functioning as a generator, when the power is interrupted. The rectified output of the current from the stator windings has a polarity which drives the actuator to the home position. Back to back diode means (51, 52) are connected in parallel with the actuator coil (48) when the spindle motor windings are functioning to generate power. The number of series connected diodes in each of the diode means determines the upper limit of actuator velocity. The switching function can be actuated by either a power interruption or by an error condition.

Abstract: The machine tool is equipped with a tool magazine, a long work table arranged in the X-direction, and a work spindle which has a tool holder at the end. The work spindle is mounted in a headstock which can be moved at right angles to the work table in the Z-direction and is guided on a column in this Z-direction. The column and the work table can be moved relative to one another transversely to the longitudinal direction of the latter, that is, in the Y-direction, and the column can be moved along the work table in the X-direction. Furthermore, a changer reaching with at least one change arm up to the tool holder at the spindle is arranged on the headstock. In such a machining centre, the storage capacity of tools to be kept ready is to be increased without further loading the movable elements, such as column and headstock, of the machine and without increasing the tool-change times. For this purpose, an intermediate changer movable in the Y-direction is arranged on or next to the column, which intermediate changer can be moved on the one hand into a first change position corresponding with the spindle-side tool changer and on the other hand into a second change position at an intersection with the conveying path of a feeder. The feeder is arranged on the column side remote from the headstock and has at least one tool place which is carried along with the column parallel to the X-direction and can be moved temporarily in the X-direction into a transfer position relative to a change place at the tool magazine independently of the X-position of the column. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention concerns a line generator and a method for determining the individual pixels to be plotted for a line to be drawn in a display system. Coded representations of a plurality of lines are stored in a line definition table (12, in 42), the coded representation of each individual line comprising a string of data items representing the transitions between adjacent pixels to be plotted for drawing said individual line. Preferably, only coded representations of lines up to a predetermined size (ie. the length of the line in the case of a straight line) are stored in the line definition table (12, in 42) and strings of data items for representing the pixels to be plotted for longer lines to be drawn are still calculated (in 40) as in the prior art. In this case, means (28,46) are provided for determining whether there are coded representations of a line to be drawn in the line definition table, or not, and for passing control to the appropriate logic for determining the pixels to be plotted. In a preferred embodi­ment, the string of data items forming the coded representation of a line to be drawn is a string of binary digits and the value each bit in the string represents a transition in one of two directions. This provides a very compact representation of the line.

IPC: H03K5/13
Filed: 1988-10-18
Abstract: A delay element for producing an output signal in response to a change in state of an input signal includes variable gain first and second amplifiers (A1, A2) and a delay buffer (12) having a fixed delay. The input signal is applied as input to the first amplifier (A1) and the delay buffer (12) while the output of the delay buffer (12) is applied as input to the second amplifier (A2). The outputs of the first and second amplifiers are summed to provide the output signal. When the gain of the first amplifier (A1) is high and the gain of the second amplifier is low, the output signal will respond to the change in state of the input signal with minimum delay. When the gain of the first amplifier (A1) is low and the gain of the second ampli­fier (A2) is high, the output signal will respond to the change in state of the input signal with maximum delay. The delay in change of state of the output signal in response to a change of state in the input signal may be adjusted with high resolution to a time intermediate between the minimum and maximum delays by adjusting the gains of the first (A1) and second (A2) amplifiers.
