Abstract: A laser illuminated helmet mounted sight (10) that determines helmet (12) or sight position from an externally mounted light source (16). The electronics, including light sources and detectors, are not on the helmet. Also, no electrical cables or mechanical linkage is connected to the helmet. The helmet (12) only has passive reflectors (14) for reflecting light beams from a laser source (16). The return times and directions of the returning light beams processed by off-helmet electronics (30,32,34), result in a position indication of the helmet.

Abstract: An interactive computer system is provided having a programming environment in which an end user of one or more existing applications, for example, integrated environment applications, can customize it or them with a unique user interface appearance. The environment consists of one application or a group of applications, a customization facility and a graphical editor. The customization facility records event stream from the user to the application(s) when it (they) runs, and enables him/her to compose a plurality of event streams into a story. The user generates a unique user interface appearance with graphical parts, for example, boxes, arrows, icons, etc., using the graphical editor. He/she then links appearance to event streams or stories, and completes a programming mode. After programming, the user can make the customized application run by interaction with the new user interface appearance, for example picking the graphical objects on the appearance.

Abstract: Printing is done by an array (24,28) of color-printing elements (26,30) or nozzles in order to produce interlaced color printing while printing each line only once with each color. Print head array configurations for printing two, three and four colors include linear and parallel arrays (24,28). In one embodiment, a first color and a second color are printed on alternate lines of a first set (40) of print lines. The first color and a third color are printed on alternate lines of a second set (41) of print lines. Also, the second color and the third color are printed on alternate lines of a third set (42) of print lines. By sequentially printing these consecutive sets of lines on a print medium (22), with each of the three pairs of colors, all of the lines of an image are printed once with each color. Other colorprinting configurations are also shown.

Abstract: A rigid disk includes a transparent glass substrate having guide grooves for a laser beam for an optical disk which grooves are formed in one surface of the substrate, a reflective film formed on the lower surface of the substrate, a light-transmitting magnetic oxide film formed on the other surface of the substrate which is flat and smooth, and a lubricating layer formed on the magnetic oxide film. The magnetic oxide film has only a spinel-type crystal structure, and contains iron and cobalt. A magnetic head and an optical head are mounted on an arm movable back and forth relative to the rigid disk in a radial direction of the rigid disk. A laser beam emitted from the optical head passes through the lubricating layer, the magnetic oxide film and the substrate of the rigid disk, and is reflected by the reflective film to be returned to the optical head, thereby detecting a track signal formed by a configuration of the grooves by the optical head, so that the driving of the arm is controlled so as to move the magnetic head along a track on a recording surface of the rigid disk in a servo-controlled manner.

Abstract: A video signal encoding apparatus in which the number of quantization bits used in a quantizing circuit is determined on the basis of the activity index of each video block and the length of coded data or alternatively on the basis of the activity index of each video block and the number of events (each event consisting of the zero run length and nonzero value of quantized data). The video signal is encoded in a compressed form after shuffling the video blocks in such a manner that, when attention is given to any given video block, its four neighboring video blocks belong to units different from the unit to which the attention video block belong. Compression encoding of the video blocks is performed in sequence starting with the center of the screen and then proceeding toward the sides of the screen.

Abstract: The heat sealing wire (26) of an impulse heat sealer (10) is held against an operating face of a support bar by an insulating fabric (34) which is draped over the wire and secured in a slot (24) formed in the support bar (18). The securing drape of fabric allows unrestricted expansion and contraction of the hot wire. Also if the slot lies in a curved plane which extends perpendicular to the plane of the support bar operating face, the drape of insulating fabric and consequently the sealing wire follow the same curve so the heat sealer can make seals of a non-linear configuration.

Abstract: A thin film magnetic head and a method for making the thin film head by the use of electrical lapping guides includes the use of a resistive lapping guide that as a height dimension and an electrical resistance that optimizes the results of the comparison or the resistive lapping guide to a finished lapping guide. The resistive lapping guide is not lapped during the lapping process. The finished lapping guide is lapped and the resistive comparison between the two determines the stopping of the lapping process. An as-lapped guide which is of the same dimensions as the finished lapping guide after lapping can also be included. An interleaved magnetic head having alternating magneto-resistive read elements and inductive write elements can be precisely lapped by sensing the resistance of the lapping guide elements and using a formula to determine the final resistance of the finished lapping guide to halt the lapping process.

Abstract: A memory (2) is partitioned dynamically into panels (10, 20-27) which are referenced by processing agents (25-30). The panels include a case-base (10) of previously-generated design solutions. The case-base (10) has a taxonomic structure, and cases (12) in the case-base (10) have a partonomic structure. The agents are effectively self-activating by monitoring of memory write operations. They carry out a design process by initially retrieving a case (12) and adapting the case to conformity with a target specification in a panel (24). The memory (2) is effectively used for "pasting" of agent outputs, both final and intermediate. Use of the case-base (10) in combination with the memory sections or panels leads to versatility in that the apparatus (1) may be used for a range of different automatic design processes.

Abstract: A length (c) of a melamine foamed block (12) to be accommodated in an ink tank housing (11) as measured in the longitudinal direction is dimensioned to be larger than a length (C) of the ink tank housing (11) as measured in the longitudinal direction. Thus, while the foamed block (12) is accommodated in the ink tank housing (11), it is compressed in the direction orienting toward an ink feeding port (13) from which ink is fed to a printing head (14), i.e., in the ink feeding direction. Consequently, the ink retaining force induced by the capillary force is not intensified in the compressing direction of the melamine foamed block (12), resulting in an ink feeding capability of the printing head (14) being improved. On the contrary, the ink retaining force effective at a right angle relative to the compressing direction of the melamine foamed block (12) is intensified.

Abstract: In the case of a contact element for electrically and mechanically connecting a contact area (4) applied to a glass carrier (3), in particular a busbar for heating conductors for vehicle windscreens, to a supply lead (18, 28), there is provided a contact part (8, 21), connected to the supply lead (18, 28), which is fixed in a contact holder (1) fixed on the glass carrier (3) and, under pressure, bears against the contact area (4). This clamp contacting ensures reliable contact-making and mechanical stability and is particularly suited for automated, mechanical production virtually without rejects. This holds true both for the production and the fixing of the contact holder (1) and for the production and the insertion of the contact part (8, 21) as well as its connection to the supply lead (18, 28). The reliability in terms of contact can in this case be matched in a simple manner to the requirements of the individual case by a corresponding choice of the magnitude of the contact pressure and of the contact area as well as of the material of the contact part (8, 21). Splitting the contact element into a contact part 8, 21 and a holder part (1) permits these parts to be designed largely independently of each other and thus an optimisation in terms of their function. <IMAGE>
