Abstract: An image forming method in which digital image data are stored in a memory and are read out of the memory to form images on copy sheets in a first image orientation or in a second image orientation rotated through 180° with respect to the first image orientation. First image data relating to images to be formed in the first orientation are stored in the memory in ascending address sequence, starting from the first free memory address. Second image data relating to images to be formed in the second orientation, however, are stored in the memory in descending address sequence, starting from the last free memory address, while reading out from the memory is effected in ascending address sequence for both the first and the second image data. The available memory space is thus used without any capacity loss and hence extremely efficiently, because both the first and the second image data are stored in contiguous relationship and hence the memory space still available remains contiguous.

Abstract: Terminaison de fibre optique réduisant l'effet des courants réfléchis en provenance de la face de transfert (12). La face de transfert est oblique par rapport à l'axe de la terminaison de sorte que les réflexions ne se propagent pas le long du chemin externe. La face de transfert est également oblique par rapport au sens de l'âme de sorte que la réfraction rend le chemin externe parallèle à l'axe et, de préférence, le fasse coïncider avec ce dernier. Pour assembler une terminaison, on prépare la fibre en enlevant l'extrémité de sa gaine en platique afin d'exposer environ 1 cm de filament de verre nu. Si l'autre extrémité de la fibre n'est pas disponible (la fibre étant trop longue) on place l'enveloppe faisant office de première couche sur la fibre bien qu'elle ne soit pas utilisée au début de cet assemblage. On serre la fibre (10), l'extrémité dénudée (40) de laquelle est horizontale, et on place l'embout (30) (qui est trop léger pour courber la fibre) sur ladite extrémité dénudée (40). Le centre de la masse étant à l'arrière, l'embout bascule sur son angle naturel de repos. On obtient ainsi l'obliquité critique définie ci-dessus, et on introduit alors un matériau thermodurcissable ou de charge dans l'embout de sorte que la configuration soit définitive même lorsqu'on enlève la fibre de son alignement horizontal. La longueur et le diamètre du tube de commande (31) détermine l'angle qu'une fibre, placée en diagonale dans ledit tube (31), forme avec l'axe de ce dernier (31).

IPC: A63H33/18
Filed: 1994-06-28
Abstract: The present invention involves a water gun having at least one pressurizable air/water storage tank, a pressurizing mechanism, a channel of release for shooting water and a release mechanism. The improvement lies in the particular release mechanism of the water gun. This release mechanism is for controlled flow with bursting release of water. It includes a plug valve which is located within a channel of release. The release mechanism has a first spring connected to the plug valve which biases the plug valve to its first, closed position. This first spring and the internal water pressure against the plug valve constitutes the "first force."  Linkage connects a trigger to the plug valve such that activation of the trigger provides a second force which moves the linkage so as to move the plug valve from the first, closed position to the second, opened position and release of the trigger permits the first force to bias the plug valve back to its first, closed position. There is also a delay spring located within the linkage itself. When the trigger is pulled, it pulls the delay spring in a direction opposite from an against the first force. This first force is the force of the first spring as well as the internal water pressure holding the valve closed. At some point, the delay spring overcomes the forces of the first force holding the valve closed. At this point, the valve snaps open and there is rapid decrease of water pressure causing a burst of water to exit the water gun. This creates a controllable burst and a realistic trigger release.
