US Patent:

45449945, Oct 1, 1985

Filed:

Jul 16, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/631474

Inventors:

John K. Steeves - Rochester NY

Assignee:

Tele-Lite, Inc. - Rochester NY

International Classification:

B62J 508

US Classification:

362192

Abstract:

A bracket mount fits directly over one end of a rectangular housing 17a of a portable engine-driven electric generator 15a and supports a flood lamp 10a powered by generator 15a. A bracket includes a frame 20a extending around and fitted to a generally rectangular end of generator housing 17a. Lamp head 10a has a supporting knuckle 50 with a mounting arm 52 fixed in a socket 60 in an upper region of bracket 20a so that lamp head 10a can pivot on a horizontal axis through knuckle 50 relative to mounting arm 52 and bracket 20a. Lamp head 10a can be folded under socket 60 so that the front face of the lamp is close against bracket 20a and the end of generator housing 17a for protective storage, and lamp head 10a can be pivoted to upwardly aimed positions accommodated by the downward slope of socket 60. Socket 60 and mounting arm 52 are hollow and provide a conduit for electric conductors leading from generator 15a to lamp head 10a.

Tele-Lite, Inc. - Rochester NY

International Classification:

B62J 508

US Classification:

362193

Abstract:

A bracket mount fits directly over one end of a rectangular housing 17 of a portable engine-driven electric generator 15 and supports a flood lamp 10 powered by generator 15. A bracket 20 includes a frame extending around the end of generator housing 17 and projections 21 that reach back to mounting locations where bracket 20 is screwed to generator 15. A gooseneck 30 secured to an upper region of bracket 20 curves downward and outward in a gooseneck shape and terminates in a knuckle that supports lamp head 10 for vertical pivotal movement. Lamp head 10 can be folded under gooseneck 30 so that the front face of the lamp is close against bracket 20 and the end of generator housing 17 for protective storage, and lamp head 10 can be pivoted to upwardly aimed positions accommodated by the curvature of the upper side of gooseneck 30. Gooseneck 30 is hollow and provides a conduit 40 for electric conductors leading from the generator to the lamp head.

Assignee:

Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

364520

Abstract:

A computer output printer includes a host computer interface that enables the printer to emulate a color pen plotter. Pen select commands are interpreted to select a halftone dot pattern, and plot commands are interpreted to define an outline of the line to be plotted, and fill the outline with the selected halftone dot pattern.

International Classification:

G03G 1504

US Classification:

355 14R

Abstract:

An electrophotographic reproduction apparatus and method are provided for reproducing an original document sheet that includes a continuous tone pictorial information area and a line-type information area. Rather than reproducing the entire document sheet with screening of both types of information, means are provided for selectively screening only the pictorial information area on the reproduction. The means of one preferred embodiment comprises a programmable illumination source that is programmed through inputs by the operator using a digitizing tablet to selectively image portions of a screen onto a charged photoconductive web prior to development of the electrostatic image formed on the web so that only the area on the web receiving the pictorial image is exposed to the screen. In another embodiment the programmable illumination source, such as LED's, modulates the portion of the image frame receiving an optical exposure of the pictorial information with the screen type exposure so that the pictorial information only is reproduced with a screen pattern. In still another embodiment a sensor automatically senses and determines the image portions to be selectively screened.
