  • Patent number: 5181162
    Abstract: An object-oriented document management and production system in which documents are represented as collections of logical components, or "objects", that may be combined and physically mapped onto a page-by-page layout. Stored objects are organized, accessed and manipulated through a database management system. At a minimum, objects contain basic information-bearing constituents such as text, image, voice or graphics. Objects may also contain further data specifying appearance characteristics, relationships to other objects, and access restrictions.

  • Patent number: 4083381
    Abstract: A control valve for controlling flow relative to a pair of control ports which includes a pair of 3-way valve components each having one of the control ports and a poppet valve member which, when closed in one position under pilot control, blocks pressure flow to a control port and connects the control port to reservoir, a pressure-reducing valve which initially operates to supply a relatively low pressure pilot fluid to a pilot control for the 3-way valves and, after operation of the latter, permit full line flow through a pair of branch passages each having a one-way check valve preventing return flow.

  • Patent number: 3992131
    Abstract: A two-stage pump assembly employs a rotary-type gerotor pump combined with a reciprocating axial piston-type pump both mounted on and driven by a common shaft of a motor. A single key drivingly connects the rotor of the gerotor pump and the angle plate of the axial piston pump to the shaft of the motor for simultaneous operation of the two pumps. A wear sleeve is seated on the shaft of the motor and coacts with an oil seal carried by a common wall between the motor and the gerotor housing to prevent leaking of the fluid being pumped.
