摘要:
An interface which enables a LAN connected workstation to concurrently communicate with a plurality of computer platforms having respective network architectures over the same physical connection. The interface receives data from a LAN connection, examines the data and identifies the format being used. Based on the identified format, the interface determines the appropriate destination for the data and sends the data to that destination. Additionally, the interface enables a workstation running XNS software to run terminal emulation programs at the increased speed available from a LAN connection by enhancing the XNS protocol with (1) message segmentation and reassembly, (2) maximum packet size negotiation and (3) LAN address discovery.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for the holding of paper rolls in printing devices, e.g., facsimile machines, which includes a housing for accommodating the paper roll, the housing comprising parallel and substantially flat first and second housing endplates along a longitudinal axis; first and second paper roll supports adapted to fit first and second ends of the paper roll, respectively, the first and second paper roll supports flexibly coupled to the first and second housing endplates; and first and second springs for pressing the first and second paper roll supports against the first and second ends of the paper roll, respectively, to compressively hold the paper roll when the paper roll is inserted in the holder, the first spring coupled between the first housing endplate and the first paper roll support, and the second spring coupled between the second housing endplate and the second paper roll support.

A method and apparatus for spring mounting of multi-layered electronic assemblies including a top cover; a bottom cover; first, second, and third mounting supports; a printed wiring board in contact with and supported by the first, second and third mounting supports at first, second, and third mounting locations, respectively; springs for clamping the multi-layered electronic assembly between the top cover and the bottom cover; a load plate for supporting the assembly, the load plate including fourth, fifth, and sixth mounting supports aligning with the first, second, and third mounting locations, respectively, and in contact with the springs; and the top cover contacting the load plate and coupled to the bottom cover, wherein the coupling of the top cover and bottom cover compresses the springs and securely clamps the multi-layered electronic assembly within the top and bottom covers.
摘要:
A system for molding concrete articles such as paving stones, including a rack having opposing first and second vertical walls that have corresponding rails, and trays that include article molds adapted to receive concrete for curing, the trays being sized and constructed to slide on the rails.

A system for effecting radio communication over a given range of frequency channels among a plurality of participating local stations, includes: a variably settable channel transmission unit at each such participating local station; and a controller or central station having an interference array processor for receiving data characterizing the system and each such participating local station for assigning datum channels (frequencies) to each such participating station with prescribed channel spacing and what is termed a "book-page generator" for compiling data in successive book pages of initial and subsequent channel assignments for stations, with maintenance of such datum channel spacing. Further data compilations are made from the book-page generator in what are termed "station pages", comprising frequency shift instructions specific to the stations. Since a station page is derived from plural book pages, any station may be compromised without revelation of the contents of the book pages.
摘要:
A jumper cable apparatus to interconnect two batteries is described. The apparatus has a first and second connecting means that releasably engage each other. The first and second connecting means have a polarity-sensitive and current-limiting circuit within each connecting means with one or more colored LEDs, a current-limiting resistor and a piezoelectric alarm. The circuits also indicate when one of the batteries may have an open or short cell. The second connecting means has an electrically insulative, translating block means to reduce the chance of accidental contact with the interior of the connecting means and to reduce the chance of arcing outside of the electrically insulated housing and block means. The apparatus may have an extension cable apparatus to assist jumping the batteries when access to the batteries may be difficult. The housings of the connecting means have bosses and slots to aid in the alignment of the housings and to align the positive cables when the housings are interconnected.

A plotter having the capability of unattended operation incorporates several innovations. An X-axis dual motor drive mechanism moves the plotting chart through the plotter using two independently controlled motors driving respective individual friction drives at either side of the chart. An automatic chart alignment mechanism aligns the chart with the plotter X-axis using the X-axis dual motor drive for swiveling of the chart as necessary and a sensor to detect and correct the position of the chart. A chart cutting mechanism allows chart stock supplied in roll form to be cut to a desired length for a plot using a knife assembly carried by the pen carriage like a pen. A cut chart handling mechanism enables cut charts to be retrieved and neatly stored.
摘要:
A torsional-mode resonator is produced by using an extensional mode transducer on a piece of material such as a metal bar where the transducer lies at an angle between the longitudinal axis of the material and the transverse axis. Placing the midpoint of the transducer at approximately the midpoint of the material such as the bar, optimizes the torsional effect. Further optimization may be obtained by making the transducer in the shape of a rhomboid.

An improved, conventionally-spoolable, magnetic tape which can be unspooled and read after exposure to very high temperatures. The improvement is largely in a thermally resistant, non-adhering, anti-static backing system, used in conjunction with magnetic face coatings.
