US Patent:

43475183, Aug 31, 1982

Filed:

May 29, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/268434

Inventors:

Glenn L. Williams - Bay Village OH
Edward J. Reilly - Mayfield Heights OH

Assignee:

Gould Inc. - Rolling Meadows IL

International Classification:

G01D 1510

US Classification:

346 11

Abstract:

A thermal array protection apparatus is disclosed primarily for use in linear thermal array imaging devices. Data to be printed within a given line of data are compared to data printed within the previous lines of data. Whether data will or will not be printed in the given line of data is a function of the previous data printed. Since the apparatus prevents data from being printed for the same position in successive lines of data, the temperature of the individual thermal imaging stylii will be kept within acceptable limits.

International Classification:

G01D 1510

US Classification:

346 11

Abstract:

A thermal array protection method and apparatus are disclosed primarily for use in linear thermal array imaging devices. Data to be printed within a given line of data are compared to the data printed within the previous line of data. Data will not print in the given line of data if data were printed in the corresponding data positions within the previous line of data. Thus, the temperature of the individual thermal imaging stylii will be kept within acceptable limits.

Appl. No.:

6/183841

Inventors:

Glenn L. Williams - Bay Village OH
A. Dix Brown - Cleveland Heights OH
Edward J. Reilly - Mayfield Heights OH

Assignee:

Gould Inc. - Rolling Meadows IL

International Classification:

G09G 320

US Classification:

340753

Abstract:

An automatic line segment generator is disclosed primarily for use with linear array display devices. Converted analog data is received from a single slope analog to digital converter. This received digital data is synchronized with a system clock and is positioned and stored as line segment data during one measurement period of the analog to digital converter. New data is received during the next measurement period and is then synchronized, positioned and compared against the previously stored line segment data. The length of the line segment in storage will remain the same or increase based on the position and length of the newly received data, i. e. if the new data position is within the stored data position, the stored data remains the same and if the new data position is outside of the stored data position, the stored data length will increase to the new data position.

Appl. No.:

5/671427

Inventors:

Arling Dix Brown - Cleveland Heights OH
Edward Justus Reilly - Mayfield Heights OH

Assignee:

Gould, Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

G03G 15044

US Classification:

346154

Abstract:

An electrographic writing system including an electrographic writing head operatively connected to a switching system is disclosed. The electrographic writing head includes a plurality of electrically conducting styluses arranged to produce an electrostatic charge on a record medium which is normally dielectric coated paper. The styluses are supported by an insulating material, and one of the ends of each of the styluses is either substantially flush with one end of the writing head or slightly recessed. The other ends of the styluses act as part of a connecting means to the switching system. The switching system includes a plurality of diode assemblies. Each diode assembly has a sequence of diode switching circuits including a first high stored charge or slow diode, a second low stored charge or fast diode in series therewith and a capacitor. The capacitor has one end connected between the diodes and the other end to ground or a dynamic voltage. A stylus is connected to each capacitor and a transistor setup switch is operatively connected to a plurality of diode switching circuits, including one from each of the diode assemblies.

Appl. No.:

6/183843

Inventors:

Edward J. Reilly - Mayfield Heights OH

Assignee:

Gould Inc. - Rolling Meadows IL

International Classification:

G05B 1940

US Classification:

318696

Abstract:

A method and an apparatus is disclosed for electrically damping the rotation motion of a stepper motor. The voltage of the non-energized side of the motor windings is monitored and compared with the energized side. Once the voltage on the non-energized side reaches a predetermined value greater than the voltage on the energized side, the non-energized voltage is shunted to the energized voltage.
