Process for the metallic coating of type heads made of plastics materials for printing devices in which the surfaces to be metallized are subjected to a series of operations including in succession the stages of a) chemical deposition of a thin conductive metallic layer, b) growth of the said layer by electrodeposition. The growth by electrodeposition comprises a layer of nickel obtained in a special bath which confers to said layer particular qualities of hardness and wear resistance.

An apparatus for recognizing graphic symbols is disclosed, wherein a character is scanned by a cathode ray tube along a plurality of parallel scan lines (sections) and a photodetector supplies an analog electric signal proportional to the intensity of the light signal output from each scanned point. Each analog signal is preprocessed in order to obtain a digital signal. Each portion of this digital signal which corresponds to a white segment of a section is switched to one of a plurality of motif registers, according to the relationship of the white segment with the black segments of the same sections and with the shadow of the black segments of the sections already scanned. Each motif register is emptied if the motif is not separated, i.e., if the corresponding motif register does not receive at least a prefixed number of contributions. At the end of the scanning of the character, it is categorized according to the type of motifs present therein.

An electronic computer having an arrangement for shifting the characters stored in selected registers of the memory is disclosed, wherein the shift of the characters is controlled by an instruction causing a control unit to select the register to be shifted and to activate the arrangement. The arrangement comprises a one-character register which is first connected by the control unit with the last significant stage of the selected register for exchanging the characters stored therein. The onecharacter register is then connected with the most significant stage of the selected register, whereby the character previously stored in the last significant stage is now stored in the most significant stage. The one character register is then connected with the successive stages of the selected register whereby the characters are shifted step-by-step by one stage. A counter is provided for counting the number of changes performed and for causing the control unit to stop the exchanging operation upon completion.

A top-access cabinet including a lid movable manually from a closed position to an open position in which the lid is adjacent the rear wall of the cabinet, comprising a bail having a crosspiece pivotally connected to the lid, two arms pivotally connected to the side walls of the cabinet and a spring tensioned between at least one of the said arms and the cabinet for balancing the weight of the lid in any intermediate position between the closed position and the open position. Two support members fixed to the top edge of the rear wall are each provided with a slot into which a bent rim of rear edge of the lid enters during the last part of the closing movement to prevent the rear edge of the lid being lifted when the lid is closed.

A vertical tabulating device for an electric typewriter including a carriage carrying a rotatable platen is described. The return movement of the carriage of the typewriter, with which the device is associated, is obtained by power-pulling a flexible member connected with the carriage of the typewriter. The device is characterized in that the rotational movement of the platen is actuated by a drum disposed on the carriage. The flexible member has one end fastened to the drum and normally has a section thereof wound about the aforementioned drum by resilient means. The drum actuates rotation of the roller through a transmission; movement of the roller is arrested by locking means controlled by a programming disk rotatable with the roller.

A method and apparatus for precisely evaluating the lubricity characteristics of various oils and greases while they are under load and in motion and subject to variations in temperature.
摘要:
A machine control device for arresting the operation of a machine in response to an insufficient rate of lubricant flow in the machine lubrication system. A chamber interposed in the lubricant return circuit to the reservoir comprises a float for sensing the level of lubricant therein, an upper discharge port, and a lower discharge port of such size as to allow a flow equal to that necessary in the lubrication system to allow the machine to complete its cycle. A signal responsive to a predetermined position of the float announces the condition of insufficient rate of flow, and provides an input to an AND gate. The other input to the AND gate is provided by the machine control system at the end of a cycle, whereby the arresting of machine operation thereupon occurs.
摘要:
A computer for executing a program made up of a series of macroinstructions each including a plurality of instructions grouped in a fixed order and having a serial operational memory the computer, comprising means for interpreting the instructions of a macroinstruction stored in a predetermined portion of the operational memory. Furthermore the computer comprises means responsive to the interpretatation by said interpreting means of a predetermined instruction in the macroinstruction stored in said predetermined portion of the operational memory for causing the interpreting means to commence interpreting the information stored in a selected portion of said memory as a series of macroinstructions. Additional means are connected to the operational memory for executing the series of macro-instructions serially in response to the determined instruction.
摘要:
A liquid crystal display in which a layer of liquid crystal material is confined between a pair of spaced parallel substrates. A common electrode is deposited on one of the substrates, and a plurality of independent conductive spots are deposited on the interior face of the other of the substrates opposite to the common electrode. Electrical field producing means are provided for inducing a voltage in a selected conductive spot in order to excite the liquid crystal material between the selected conductive spot and the common electrode.
摘要:
A device for moulding parts to be sintered by compressing powdered materials held between a fixed die and a movable die. A pair of punches extending through the dies compresses the powdered material. A pressure plate operated by the punch extending through the movable die engages the movable die and is also locked to the fixed die during the compression stroke of the punches to insure that the dies do not separate during the compression stroke.
