Patent EP-0723873-A2 (EP)
Inventor: QUINTANA JASON
IPC: B41J13/03
Filed: 1995-12-19
Abstract: A media handling subsystem (10) picks a media sheet (S) from a stack (42), then moves the picked sheet along a media path. Any skewing of the media sheet existing in the media stack or occurring during the pick cycle is removed before the sheet reaches a position to receive print markings. In particular, the alignment of the skewed media sheet is altered (i.e., the sheet is moved) to square the media sheet to the media path. An electro-optic sensor (16) detects when the top (56) of a media sheet is adjacent to or at a drive roller (28) and pinch roller (46). The media sheet moves a mechanical flag (23) into the light circuit of the optical sensor. After the media sheet trips the flag, the drive roller (28) moves the top edge of the media sheet backward along the media path out of the grasp of the pinch roller and drive roller. As the sheet moves out of the grasp, the top edge of the sheet falls into squared alignment with the drive roller and pinch roller. The squared media sheet then is moved forward tripping the flag again. The drive roller then pulls the sheet along the media path into the path of the optical sensor so that the optical sensor detects the top of the page. The sensor then is shuttled to scan for a side of the page. With the top of page and side of page known, and with it known that the page is squared to the media path, markings are placed accurately on the media sheet.

Abstract: The folding device has runners (10,11). One of these has a holding device (30,27) to secure the position of the material for folding (5-7) radially against it. The positive holding force over the running track and over the working width, and the position relative to the runner body and its tools (22,23,26) can be altered. This makes multiple fold passes possible for the folding unit (8). The control may be mechanical via drives, or through sensors based on suction jets. The runners described here can be fitted to existing folding machines in place of the ones originally fitted to them.

Abstract: A battery charge control circuit (10) senses the charge condition of cells in a battery pack (12, 14, 16, 18) using measurement circuit (51). Upon detection of a single under-voltage cell, the charge control circuit is placed in a sleep mode. Pack sense circuit (240) senses when the battery pack is placed in a charger. If circuit (10) was in a sleep mode, it is awakened. If any cell is measured over-voltage, the status is checked versus the other cells. If all the cells are over-voltage, the battery is considered balanced. If one or more cells are not over-voltage, control circuit (32) activates a discharge transistor (212, 214, 216, 218), discharging the cell within a hysteresis voltage below the over-voltage limit. Charge balancing of cells is continued until the cells are within a programmable hysteresis voltage of each other.

Abstract: Dough (1) is stretched by passing it between a number of rollers (5,5'...) rotatably mounted on the periphery of a rotating wheel (7), and a conveyor (3) formed from a number of further rollers (31-35). The wheel rollers are freely rotatably mounted on shafts (6), and the conveyor rollers are individually driven. The gap (C) between the wheel rollers and the conveyor rollers decreases, and the rotational speed of the conveyor rollers can increase, in the direction of travel. As the dough is repeatedly compressed between the rollers, the thixotropy of the dough allows it to be stretched without damaging its structure. A drive plate (11) can be provided to cause the wheel rollers to rotate, and a discharge device (4) can be provided to receive the stretched dough, the discharge device travelling at a lower speed than the last (35) of the conveyor rollers. The rotational speed of the wheel can be adjusted to vary the frequency of compression of the dough.

The bolt (54) includes a head (541), a threaded section (542) having a diameter greater than or equal to the head, and a flange (55) disposed between the head and the threaded section. The flange preferably has a diameter greater than the diameter of the threaded section, and the head defines a multiple-sided tool-engaging hole (59) which extends axially into the threaded section to maximise the tool engaging surface. The crank axle mounting section (21) of the crank arm preferably includes a stop ring or similar structure located so that the flange (55) of the bolt (54) is disposed between the stop ring and the first end of the axle body. As a result, the bolt flange presses the crank arm apart from the crank axle when the bolt is loosened. Special tools may be provided to allow easy installation and removal of the components.

Abstract: A braking system for automotive vehicles is provided which is designed to minimize the kickback produced in a brake master cylinder (3) and transmitted to a vehicle operator through a brake pedal (1) during braking control or to inform the vehicle operator of generation of the kickback in advance for alleviating the discomfort due to the kickback. 
     The braking system includes a pressure regulating valve (110,111) which restricts transmission of a pressure (3) variation to the master cylinder from a hydraulic braking circuit (400) during the braking control to reduce the kickback. The braking system may alternatively include a pressure-reducing valve (302,303) which reduces the hydraulic pressure within the brake master cylinder to decrease a hydraulic reaction force against the pedal effort provided by the vehicle operator when a wheel is approaching or has reached a road-tire adhesion limit for warning the vehicle operator of generation of the kickback in advance.

Title: Spin-valve GMR sensor with inbound exchange stabilization
Inventor: RAVIPATI DURGA P
IPC: G11B5/39
Filed: 1997-10-30
Abstract: A magnetoresistive spin valve giant magnetoresistive (GMR) transducer (48)
includes a magnetoresistive (MR)/GMR multi-layer with end portions spaced by a central
active portion. A pair of electrical lead layers (86, 88) conducts electrical bias current to
the transducer (48). Each electrical lead layer forms abutting junctions in contact with
respective end portion of the MR/GMR layers. The longitudinal bias for the MR/GMR
layers is provided by a pair of magnetic bias layers (90, 92). Each magnetic bias layer
(90, 92) is disposed in contact with a respective end portion of the MR/GMR layers. Bias
current flows into the MR/GMR layers directly through the abutting junctions, allowing
the magnetic bias to assume a different bias path through the end portions of the MR/GMR
layers. The MR/GMR transducer (48) allows both the electrical and magnetic biases to be
optimally designed, without any constraint of one restricting the other, as the two biases
often pose conflicting requirements. In addition, the direct electrical current path provides
lower electrical resistance and heat dissipation which are of substantial benefit to the
performance and reliability of the transducer (48).

Filed: 1997-03-12
Abstract: A linear surgical stapler having clamping and firing triggers pivotally mounted to the frame of the instrument for pivotal rotation toward a hand grip is disclosed. The clamping trigger is positioned between the firing trigger and the hand grip. Each of the triggers are pivotally mounted to pivot pins spaced from each other within the body portion of the frame. Pivotal rotation of the first trigger is independent of pivotal rotation of the second trigger. When the clamping trigger is pivotally rotated toward the hand grip, the clamping and firing transmission assemblies move distally in tandem. Before the first trigger is pivoted, the firing transmission assembly blocks pivotal rotation of the second trigger. When the first trigger is pivoted, the initial distal movement of the firing transmission assembly enables the firing trigger to be in a position to pivotally rotate, and therefore cause the firing of staples. Additionally, a feature enabling the retention of the clamping trigger in intermediate and fully clamped positions is disclosed, where upon release of the retention feature, the clamping trigger can return to its original position by overriding the intermediate position. Finally, although the invention is described with particular reference to a linear stapler containing clamping and firing triggers, it has broader applicability to any surgical instrument which has first and second triggers pivotally actuated to transmit work to an end effector for performing first and second surgical functions during a desired surgical procedure.
