Abstract: A ribbon (40) is driven past the printing station of a printer (12) only when a reciprocating print head (22) is moved in the right-to-left direction across the printer (12). An endless timing belt (46), which reciprocates together with the print head (22), causes rotation of a gear pulley (48) that is in mesh with an idler gear (66). The idler gear (66) is supported on a pair of projecting fingers (80, 82) of a plate (68) that is swingable on the spindle (56) supporting the gear pulley (48). The idler gear (66), being maintained in mesh with the gear pulley (48), is responsive to the direction of rotation of the gear pulley (48) through a drag effect of the ends (84, 86) of the projecting fingers (80, 82) on the bottom surface of the idler gear (66), to cause swinging movement of the plate (68) in accordance with the direction of rotation of the gear pulley (48), such that the idler gear (66) is in mesh with a ribbon drive gear (88) only when the print head (22) moves in a right-to-left direction across the printer (12).

Abstract: An optical reader head with a video compensation circuit for use in high speed reading applications. The head utilizes a light source comprising two rows of small, low wattage focused light bulbs (42) arranged in spaced, parallel relationship to illuminate a scanning line (46). The light source has a buit-in redundancy in that one of the light bulbs (42) may fail without affecting the performance of the reader head. The head includes first and second body portions (26-1, 26-2) housing a lens (28) which focuses reflected light from the document at the scanning line (46) to an array (52) of light sensors. A peak comparison PROM is used for adjusting document background levels and a special test circuit is used to ensure accurate focusing of the lens (28).

Abstract: The invention relates to a memory system including first and second memory banks (2, 3) in which consecutive addresses are alternately stored. The address memory banks (2, 3) are selectively addressed using odd and even segments of the address generated in an address counter (7). Output data from each of the address memory banks (2, 3) is stored in a respective transceiver register (12, 14). In operation one of the transceiver registers (12, 14) transmits data received during a previous memory address cycle to a processor bus (11) while the other of the transceiver registers (12, 14) stores data representative of an anticipated next address.

Abstract: A magnetic waveform derived from a sensed MICR character on a document (16) is sampled at periodic rates and converted to first bytes of data which are placed in a first memory (38-1). The velocity of the document (16) is sampled at second periodic rates and the instantaneous values of the speed of the document (16) are placed in a second memory (38-2) as second bytes of data. A processor (36) is used to read the second bytes of data and to calculate an average speed of the document (16) for an associated examining window consisting of a predetermined number of the first bytes of data. The width of the examining window is adjusted in accordance with the average speed compared to an anticipated normal speed.

Abstract: An improved connector (10) for attaching a mother board (14) to a daughter board (12) has a slotted housing (15), a slotted elastomeric member (28) disposed within the housing (15), and a flexible circuit (34) with numerous conductors (45) thereon wrapped around the elastomeric member (28) with its two free ends extending partially across the slot (29) of the elastomeric member (28). When the daughter board (14) is inserted into the housing (15), it deflects the free ends of the flexible circuit (34) into the slot (29) of the elastomeric member (28). The elastomeric member (28) has a portion (30) projecting out of the housing (15) such that, when the housing (15) is fastened to the mother board (14), the elastomeric member (28) is compressed causing it to exert more presssure on the electrical conductors (45) of the flexible circuit (34) as they contact connector pads (53, 55) of the mother board (14).
