    摘要: An alignment and latching apparatus for a drive mechanism for data tape mini-cartridges. The alignment and latching apparatus enables the drive to use a new mini-cartridge while retaining backward compatibility with older smaller mini-cartridges. The mini-cartridges have a plastic top cover and a rigid metal baseplate. For some embodiments, an alignment datum is defined by three reference points on the bottom of the mini-cartridge baseplate. In other embodiments, the alignment datum is split with two reference points on the top of the baseplate and one reference point on bottom of the baseplate. Alignment and latching forces are applied on both the plastic cover and onto the baseplate. In some embodiments, alignment force on the top cover is provided by flat springs. In alternative embodiments, alignment force on the top cover is provided by spring loaded rollers. Alignment force on the baseplate is provided by rollers or cam surfaces, pushing upward if a split datum is required and downward if a bottom surface datum is required.

    摘要: A tape drive chassis with isolation mounting features in the back half of the chassis that enable the chassis to be mounted in a computer bay that is twisted or has misaligned mounting features. The isolation mounting features of the chassis are integral with the chassis and designed to deflect and conform to torque in the computer bay. The isolation mounting features include travel limit stops that limit the distance that the isolation mounting features can be bent. The isolation mounting features ensure that the drive chassis remains planar even if the host computer bay may be twisted or have mounting holes that are not co-planar.

    摘要: A system which is particularly useful for use with lavage hand and arm washing machines supplies pulsating jets of water alternately to a first bank of nozzles (for the right hand) and a second bank of nozzles (for the left hand) without causing on/off shocks to be applied to the water supply system. This is accomplished by supplying the water from the water supply (either from a pump and reservoir or a municipal water supply) to the inlet of a rotating distributor located inside a housing. Outlet pipes for the two banks of nozzles are located on diametrically opposite sides of the housing and communicate with the interior. The distributor is designed to increase the flow through one of the outlets while simultaneously decreasing the flow to the other outlet by a corresponding amount, in a manner which produces a sinusoidal pulsation of the water flow out of each of the banks of nozzles. The flow through the first bank of nozzles, however, is 180.degree. out of synchronism with the flow through the other bank of nozzles; so that the total flow from the source of fluid is essentially constant at all times.

    摘要: A guidance channel for a tape cartridge and a matching guide for a tape drive chassis to prevent a new design cartridge from being inserted into an old design drive but permitting new design drives to accept new design cartridges or old design cartridges. The cartridge guidance channel is wide at the front of the tape cartridge and narrow at the back of the tape cartridge. Tape cartridges having a narrow channel at the back end cannot be inserted into a drive chassis having a guide with a uniform wide width. The drive chassis guide is narrow at the front and wide at the back. The drive chassis guide can mate with tape cartridge channels having a uniform wide width or with tape cartridge channels having a narrow channel at the back end.

    摘要: An expandable cuff assembly encloses a circular opening in the front panel of a lavage machine. The opening is made large enought to permit arms of a user to be inserted freely through the opening. After this is done, the expandable cuff member is filled with air to cause it to expands from a first state, having an enlarged opening through it, to a second state where it resiliently closes against the arm of the user to prevent liquid from splashing out of the lavage machine during use. After the operation of the machine is completed, the expandable cuff member returns to its first state, with a large opening therethrough to permit withdrawal of the arms of the user freely through the enlarged opening.
