Abstract: A cutting machine (10) comprising a housing (20) having a base (14), a motor (22) carried by the housing (20), a handle extending (60) from the housing, a knife blade (26) having a cutting edge (28) and carried by the housing for reciprocal motion generally normal to the base in response to operation of the motor, a presser foot (30) movably carried by the housing located in spaced relation to the blade cutting edge and movable toward and away from the base, an electrically operated mechanism for holding the presser foot (30) at selected distances from the base (14) during operation of the machine, and characterized by a sensing circuit operatively connected to the handle and responsive to the handle being grasped and being released by the user, the sensing circuit being coupled to a control circuit for the motor and to the presser foot holding mechanism so that when the handle (60) is grasped by the use the motor is energized and the holding mechanism maintains the presser foot at a selected distance from the base, and when the handle is released by the user the motor is deenergized and the holding mechanism releases the presser foot to move to a position near the base thereby guarding the blade cutting edge. The handle is made sensitive to the hand of the user by an external layer of electrically conducting material (102) on the handle which layer is connected to the sensing circuit. A time delay circuit is provided so that the handle must be released for a predetermined time before the motor is deenergized and the holding mechanism releases the presser foot. A manually-operated switch (90) is operatively connected to the motor control circuit so that the switch must be operated and the handle must be grasped in order for the motor to be energized. A main electrical power switch is located on the machine external to the metal housing with line voltage supplied by conductors to one side of the switch and with conductors extending from the other side of the switch through the housing to the motor so that when the main power switch (170) is opened, no line voltage is present within the housing thereby preventing any electrical hazard to a person touching the metal housing when the main power switch is opened.

Abstract: In a magnetic recording medium to detect tracking error signals optically where an optical head and a magnetic head scan different tracks, two signals having phases different by π/2 are generated and added or subtracted. By changing the amplitude of the two signals with a changeable gain amplifying means, a phase of a tracking error signal is changed so that the servo operation is conducted at the middle of the amplitude of the tracking error signal to keep the magnetic head on track.

Abstract: Doors are implemented in an existing operating system by using a novel adaptation of existing data structures and procedures which represent and control data files of the operating system. A door is represented by a file descriptor and is managed by existing mechanisms of an operating system, such as the Unix operating system, which are also used to manage files. A door is represented by a door node, which is a novel extension of the conventional vnode structure which in turn is used in conventional operating systems to represent the state of a computer resource, e.g., a data file. A door node is adapted such that most conventional file access and control procedures, e.g., procedures open() and close(), can be used to access and control door with minimal adaptation. A door node is formed by appending fields which are specific to a door node's representation of the state of a door to fields of the door node which are analogous to the fields of a vnode, which represents the state of a resource and which has a conventional structure. Thus, the fields of a door node which precede the fields specific to the representation of the state of a door are of the size, location, and format of analogous fields in a conventional vnode. A client process obtains a file descriptor which identifies a door by supplying the name of the door to the operating system.

Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode scheduler
schedules connection utilizing available bit rate (ABR)
modes of traffic, unspecified bit rate (UBR) modes of
traffic, variable bit rate (VBR) modes of traffic, and
constant bit rate (CBR) modes of traffic. The scheduler
communicates with a dynamic schedule table which includes
a programmable number of slots. Each slot includes a CBR
entry, a tunnel entry, and a number of VBR entries. The
VBR entries store a slot tail pointer which indicates the
end of a linked list. The scheduler utilizes the single
bucket algorithm or dual bucket algorithm to dynamically
schedule connections on future slots. The scheduler
places connections using the VBR mode of traffic in a

Abstract: The integrated multimode optical coupling apparatus comprises an N-to-M optical coupling arrangement that is simple to manufacture, minimizes optical losses and is significantly less expensive than the prior art arrangements of coupling optical signals. The preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention comprises a substrate into which is formed a plurality of optical channels, each of which is joined at one end into a single output optical channel. This integrated optical coupler is formed by diffusing silver ions or other equivalent ions into the glass substrate in these defined areas to form channels of high optical refractive index in the body of the substrate. At one end of each of the optical channels that are formed in the substrate, the plurality of the optical channels are joined together in a volumetric region of the substrate wherein the individual channels merge into one unified common structure. The output optical channels are joined to this combiner to thereby carry the combined light output to the output terminals.
