Abstract: An adapter for installation between a single-offset
transfer case (52) and a
transmission unit. The adapter (50) includes an adapter input
shaft (66) coupled to an output
shaft (20) of the transmission,
an adapter output shaft coupled to an input shaft of the
transfer case, and a drive mechanism connecting the adapter input and output
shafts. The adapter input shaft (66) is rotatably driven by the
transmission output shaft (20)
about a first rotary axis. The adapter output shaft (74)
is rotatably driven by the adapter
input shaft about a second rotary axis. The input shaft and a first output shaft of the
transfer case (34) are commonly aligned for rotation with
adapter output shaft for rotation
about the second rotary axis. The transfer case (50)
has a second output shaft (44)
supported for rotation about a third rotary axis. Optionally, the adapter may include
a torque disconnect clutch (108) for disconnecting drive
torque from the transmission to
the transfer case for functions requiring torque interruption such as towing and for
assisting in "on-the-fly" shifting between four-wheel high- and low-range drive
modes.

Filed: 1998-07-01
Abstract: A combination of a tape cassette and a tape drive motor wherein a shaft is connected to a
tape reel. A tape reel support is mounted to the housing of the cassette and a tape reel shaft
extends through the support. Bearings are carried by the support for rotatably supporting the
tape reel shaft and thereby the tape reel on the cassette housing. The motor has a rotor rotatable
about an axis with the rotor being loosely mounted in the motor when a cassette is not in the tape
drive. In one embodiment of the invention, the rotor carries a magnet which in combination with
magnetically attractive material carried by the shaft, operates to connect the rotor to the shaft to
effect a driving relationship between the rotor and shaft when the cassette is in the tape drive.
The bearings on the cassette for the tape reel shaft served as the sole bearings for the rotor for
rotational support when the rotor rotates and drives the shaft and thereby the tape reel. In
another embodiment of the invention, one axial end of the rotor is connected to the tape reel shaft
and the opposite axial end has a pointed end which engages pivot bearings to render stability to
the rotor against possible rotor whip when the rotor is rotating. In this embodiment, the rotor is
primarily supported for rotation by the bearings on the cassette and is secondarily supported by
the pivot bearings on the motor housing.

Abstract: Spray-on cleaners that can be delivered by pump or pressurized gas aerosol spray head have been known to cause respiratory distress in the form of a chocking mist. The chocking mist associated with aerosol use can be reduced or eliminated by formulating surface cleaning compositions that can be dispensed through a spray head resulting in an aerosol or mist droplet having a mean particle size greater than about 200  mu m. We have found that typical spray-on cleaners have a mean particle size less than about 175  mu m and, depending on the concentration and degree of irritation of strong base or strong acid components, can cause severe respiratory distress. Preferred thickeners have been found for use in the non-chocking aerosol or mist compositions.

Inventor: HEITSCH IRENE
IPC: H04N1/405
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: This system and method error-diffuse image data to
generate printing decisions; scan and print stages are
preferably included. Multiple image-data rows (or at
least parts thereof) are held in longterm memory, usually
external to an integrated circuit that does the processing;
preferably data from plural rows at a time are received
from that memory. Error from earlier-processed
data is also held in longterm memory and fed to the circuit.
Longterm-memory access is shared with many other
functions; the invention keeps error diffusion from dominating
that access. Processing preferably proceeds generally
transverse (preferably skewed, ideally at 45°) to
data rows, with final error distribution into each pixel
when it is the "left pixel" (or when it is the "next pixel"
if it is at the top of a row group). For pixels at
the top of each run, the circuit retrieves error from, and
for pixels at the bottom the circuit deposits error into,
longterm memory; for intermediate pixels the circuit does
neither ― thus amortizing each data access over several
pixels. Preferably plural rows are preprocessed to impart
a skewed structure and also insert dummy pixels at corners
(to simplify repetitive processing) ― ideally with data
and dummy pixels together forming a parallelogram, the
dummy pixels being outboard at both sides of the data.
Data can be padded out internally, too, for colorimetric
improvement, if correspondingly finer printing resolution
is available. In one form of the invention two or more
( e. g. , four) current pixels are processed simultaneously.

Abstract: A baby carriage hood consists of a flexible cover
mounted on a U-shaped frame member (28) which has each end
secured to a respective side of the baby carriage body by
a respective pivot joint (30, 32). Each pivot joint has a
support member (40) secured to the baby carriage, a shaft
(46) fast with the support member (40), and a bracket (50)
secured to the U-shaped frame member (28). The bracket
(50) is mounted on the shaft (46) and is movable radially
relative to the shaft (46) so as to bring the locking means
(54) on the bracket (50) into engagement with the
complementary locking means (48) on the support member (40)
to resist relative angular movement. A spring (56, 58)
biases the locking means (48, 54) into engagement. The
U-shaped frame member (28) is received in a fabric sleeve
forming part of the cover. The width of the sleeve is
sufficient to allow passage of said bracket (50) during
removal from the frame member (28).

Abstract: The problem of gain tilt in an optically amplified WDM system is avoided
by using SBS (Stimulated Brillouin Scattering) to limit the power levels of
the individual WDM channels at the outputs of at least selected
amplifiers (15) in the transmission path. The SBS limits the power by
the creation of a dynamic amplitude Bragg reflective grating. Alternative
mode of creating such gratings are also described, one relying upon the
Kerr effect, and another relying on creating a thermal grating in a
medium (22), such as a liquid crystal that exhibits a refractive index that
is strongly temperature sensitive.
