Filed: 1984-12-12
Abstract: A high-frequency transistor inverter operates from a 
fixed d.c. source to feed a high-voltage transformer whose 
output is filtered and rectified for application to an X-ray 
tube. The output voltage at the tube is sensed and a voltage 
feedback signal is compared with a voltage-demand signal to 
obtain a voltage-error signal which is applied to a control 
network for the inverter. The controller responds to the 
voltage error signal and to various protective and synchro­
nizing signals to control the individual transistors of the 
inverter, in a pulse-width-modulated mode, to obtain a 
desired voltage output to the tube.

IPC: B41J11/30
Filed: 1985-04-19
Abstract: An overhead unit used with a printer having a platen for 
feeding continuous, fan-folded, edge perforated forms. The 
tractors which engage the feed perforations on the forms 
are driven with the platen. The unit automatically bursts the 
side perforations along the margins of the forms where the 
feed perforations are located by the use of flexural mem­
bers which extract energy from the forms feed and oscil­
lates to shear the side perforations. Bursting of the cross 
perforations which separate successive forms is carried out 
by a pivotally mounted, lever actuated bar which engages 
the platen and forms a toggle therewith to engage the suc­
cessive forms against the platen just below the cross perfo­
rations; the toggle being arranged to tighten and increase 
the clamping force, as the form is pulled away from the plat­
en when bursting the cross perforations. Precision feeding 
of the forms so as to enable printing of high quality precise 
images on the forms is facilitated by a roller assembly in­
cluding rollers engaging the outside of the loop on the in­
feed or upstream side of the platen to remove any platen 
wave due to differential displacement of the forms as they 
travel with linear motion through the tractors and with rota­
tional motion around the platen. These rollers also steer the 
form to counteract lateral meandering thereof on the platen. 
Other rollers on the infeed side of the tractors wrap the 
forms to at least a 90° arc to eliminate positive tents at the 
cross perforations. Backlash is removed by a diagonally 
split collet and tapered sleeve which controls the clearance 
between the tractor drive shaft and the sprockets of the trac­
tors. Additional rollers on the drive shaft and the support 
shaft for the tractors, which can be used together with fin­
gers extending from the support shaft, stiffen the forms be­
tween the tractors to facilitate bidirectional feeding thereof 
and bursting by the shearing flexures.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire having a decorative applique on the 
sidewall thereof. The applique is protected from damage 
when the sidewall is curbed by the provision of a rib concent­
ric with the applique and interposed upon the sidewall be­
tween the applique and the tire tread. A decoupling groove 
interconnects the applique and the rib and allows the portion 
of the sidewall maintaining the applique to decouple from the 
remainder of the sidewall, deflecting inwardly when the side­
wall makes contacting engagement with a vertical surface 
such as a curb. The deflection of the applique prevents contact 
with the curb and allows the rib to draw inwardly and over the 
outer edge of the applique, further protecting it from scuffing 
action.

Abstract: A new high quality, low cost, thin-film magnetic record­
ing member is provided, which has a coercive field strength 
greater than 650 Oe, a saturation magnetization greater than 
10,000 Gauss, and a squareness ratio of 0.9 or larger. The 
member includes a substrate on which is directly sputter 
deposited a chromium layer, without the use of an intervening 
nickel-containing layer between the substrate and the chro­
mium. A nickel-cobalt recording layer is then sputter depo­
sited directly onto the chromium layer. In the preferred mode, 
the start of that nickel-cobalt deposition begins less than 100 
seconds after the chromium deposition is terminated and is 
followed by the sputtering of a protective layer. Before the 
chromium deposition, the substrate is preheated to drive off 
adsorbed gases, and to establish the proper conditions for the 
chromium deposition. The substrate is also heated during the 
time between when the chromium deposition ends and the 
nickel-cobalt deposition begins.

Title: Apertured macroscopically expanded three-dimensional polymeric web exhibiting breatheability and resistance to fluid transmission and use thereof in an absorbent article
IPC: B32B3/28
Filed: 1986-05-30
Abstract: @ The present invention pertains, in a particularly preferred embodiment, to an apertured, macroscopically expanded, resilient three-dimensional polymeric web which is believed to have particular utility as a breatheable barrier for a disposable bandage such as a diaper. The web preferably comprises a deeply drawn three-dimensional structure containing a multiplicity of debossments of macroscopic (i.e., visibly perceivable by the normal human eye at a perpendicular distance of about one foot) cross-section, each of said debossments originating as an aperture in a first surface of the web and having a continuously interconnected side wall extending in the direction of a second, remotely located parallel surface of the web. The side wall of each debossment terminates to form an end wall in the second surface of the web. The end wall includes a multiplicity of apertures, each of said apertures being sized and shaped to independently support an aqueous fluid meniscus. The smaller apertures in each end wall are so spaced relative to all adjacent apertures in the end wall that the aqueous fluid menisci supported in the apertures do not contact one another or the side wall. In a disposable absorbent bandage context, the second surface of the web containing the end walls with small apertures therein is placed in contact with the absorbent core portion of the bandage and the surface of the web in which the debossments originate is oriented so as to contact the wearer's outer garments in use.

IPC: B62D1/28
Filed: 1986-12-02
Abstract: An automatically guided vehicle (V) having a steering 
mechanism for enabling the vehicle to follow a guidance wire 
is disclosed. The vehicle includes a pair of spaced-apart steer 
drive antennas (S1, S2) and a pair of spaced-apart differential 
drive antennas (D1, D2). The steer drive antennas and dif­
ferential drive antennas are in mutual perpendicular relation 
to each other and are stationarily mounted on the vehicle (V). 
In a steer drive mode, wheels (12) and (13) are separately 
controlled by steer drive antennas (S1) and (S2), respectively. 
The antennas cause the wheels to turn and therefore guides 
the vehicle (V) so that a wire (W) is followed.  
     In a differential drive mode, wheels (12) and (13) are posi­
tioned in parallel driving relation to each other and are con­
trolled by antennas (D1, D2) respectively by varying the 
speed of the wheels (12, 13) to cause the vehicle (V) to follow 
the wire (W).

IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 1986-12-10
Abstract: There is described a cellular array including a 
matrixed array of processing elements. The processing 
elements are controlled by software to overcome 
manufacturing defects to cooperate together to form words 
of varying size and to replace cells that become defective 
during the lifetime of the processor, thereby prolonging 
its life. These cells communicate with memory external to 
the chip via a time divisioned multiplex bus. The bus is 
32-bits wide and each cell is connected to both the upper 
half and lower half of the bus. According to the 
configuration bits that are loaded into a cell, the cell 
will communicate over the top half or the bottom half of 
the bus according to the significance of the bits placed 
in the cells and may form words between 16-bits and 
246-bits in the case where 20 such cells are implemented 
on a single chip with four of the cells being deemed to be 
spare parts. For simplicity, typical word sizes would be 
2n x 16 bits although in principle any multiple of 16-bits 
may be obtained. Each cell contains a 16-bit multiport 
RAM which provides general purpose registers for use by 
the programmer as well as systems registers such as the 
processor status word and multiplier quotient register as 
well as a full-function arithmetic logic unit, as well as 
path logic to connect the cells together and control means 
to control the flow of information through the path logic 
according to the instruction being executed. This chip 
may be considered to implement a vector bit slice part in 
that a collection of 16-bit slice elements is contained on 
a single chip. These cells operate in a single 
instruction multiple data format as 16 16-bit processors, 
8 32-bit processors, and so on, operating on the same 
instruction stream simultaneously but with different data 
streams.

Title: Method and device for controlling a liquefied gas (lpg) fuelled engine
IPC: F02D19/02
Filed: 1987-05-08
Abstract: In the case of internal combustion engines which are fuelled by a liquefied gas (LPG), in particular spark-ignition gas engines, the engines are often incorrectly adjusted since the composition of the liquefied gas is not standardised and the mixing ratio of the main constituents propane and butane may vary greatly. The calorific value of liquefied gases can therefore fluctuate considerably and in the case of internal combustion engines fuelled by this means performance settings may be incorrect, leading to cut-out of the combustion engines. The compensation valve (1) proposed by the present invention varies the quantity of gas fed to the combustion engine as a function of control variables, in particular the liquefied gas pressure and, where appropriate, the liquefied gas temperature. This ensures that the combustion engine (30) is adjusted to a performance setting suited to the composition of the gas. <IMAGE>

IPC: C01B21/093
Filed: 1987-07-07
Abstract: Durch ökologische Auflagen wird die Zahl der in der Praxis 
verwendbaren Oxidationsmittel ständig eingeengt. Chloramin T 
hat sich in dieser Hinsicht für die Entwicklung von 
Färbungen mit Schwefelfarbstoffen im alkalischen Medium an 
sich gut bewährt. Nachteilig für dieses Oxidationsmittel 
ist hingegen die Tatsache, daß es von der Natur her als 
gering lösliches, staubendes Pulver vorliegt, das 
Reizbelästigungen auf die Umgebung ausübt; seine Lösungen 
sind nur wenig konzentriert und beschränkt haltbar. 
Schließlich macht der hohe Preis eine breite Verwendung von 
Chloramin T für die angestrebte Aufgabe unwirtschaftlich. 
Erfindungsgemäß wurde nun gefunden, daß die 
N-Chlor-Verbindung vom Amidosulfonsäure, welche sich bei der 
Umsetzung von Sulfamat, Alkali und Chlorbleichlauge in 
wäßriger Lösung bildet, im Zuge der Farbstoff-Entwicklung 
nach ähnlichem Prinzip wie Chloramin T oxidierend wirkt, 
ohne dessen anwendungstechnische Mängel aufzuweisen. 
Entscheidend für die Überlegenheit des neuartigen Konzepts 
ist die Feststellung, daß das beanspruchte, oxidierend 
wirksame System auf einfache Weise im Oxidationsbad selbst 
hergestellt und ohne vorherige Isolierung daraus direkt zum 
vorgesehenen Einsatz gebracht werden kann.

Title: Process for lap-joining the edges of a multilayered film, and tubular article produced by this process
IPC: B29C65/36
Filed: 1987-09-27
Abstract: Of two edges (14, 16) to be joined together of a multilayer foil, the inner edge (16) is obliquely trimmed in the longitudinal direction prior to the pressing together in such a way that the layer (6) located remote from the surfaces (10, 12) to be pressed together protrudes beyond the other layers. If the two layers (14, 16) are pressed together during the welding operation by means of two tool elements, not shown, then the inner layer (6) of the inner edge (16) overflows so as to form one uninterrupted layer with the inner layer (6) of the outer edge (14). When the foil is used as packaging material, in particular as a tubular liner for a packaging tube, it is assured that the product to be packaged will come into contact only with the inner layer (6), so that an undesirable reaction with one of the other layers is avoided.

Patent EP-0246889-A3 (EP)
IPC: A45D40/06
Filed: 1987-05-20
Abstract: The invention relates to containers for cosmetics 
preparations, such as mascara, lip gloss etc.  
     Plastics materials have become widely used for 
cosmetic containers, but they do not have quality 
"feel", and moreover different types of plastics 
must be used for cosmetic preparations including 
different solvents. The improvement in one aspect 
of the invention is to assemble a cosmetic container 
from an inner plastics container (39) and an outer metal 
shell (30) which substantially encloses the inner container (39). 
The metal shell inhibits escape of vapour from the 
cosmetic solvent through the container wall.  
     To improve the integrity of such a container, 
another aspect of the invention proposes the formation 
of a set of circumferentially spaced, axially extending 
ribs (31 to 38) on the inner surface of the metal shell (30). 
When the container is assembled by pushing the shell onto 
the inner plastics container, these ribs bite into 
the plastics and form grooves in which the ribs tightly 
 
 
engage.  
     To aid consumer choice where the cosmetics product 
may be made in various colours, a container having 
a plastics inner container and a metal outer shell 
is adapted in a third aspect of the invention by 
forming an aperture (61) in the outer shell through which 
the colour of the preparation can be displayed to 
the user.
