  • Patent number: 5021922
    Abstract: The computer is adapted to be used and stored on its narrow bottom surface (24), which has an area which is less than the area of the front surface (25) of the computer. A keyboard (4) is pivotally mounted to the back of a cover on the front surface. A floppy disk drive (3) is pivotally mounted behind the cover and the drive can be operated in the open or closed positions. A movable flat display (2) is positioned parallel to the front surface of the computer when the display is in the retracted position. A frictional mechanism (FIG. 5A) permits the display to be positioned at any angle.

  • Patent number: 4360839
    Abstract: A deflection yoke adjustment apparatus for adjusting a yoke on a kinescope comprises independent coil holders for supporting the horizontal and vertical deflection coils of the yoke. Six elongated positioning rods are attached to particular locations on each coil holder. Actuators, for example stepping motors, move selected ones of the rods to cause translation of the coil holders along a vertical, horizontal or longitudinal axis, or rotation of the coil holder about any of the aforementioned axes. The vertical and horizontal coils may be moved independently to provide an optimum kinescope display. The apparatus also comprises coil alignment devices associated with each positioning rod to maintain coil orientation during movement and force limiting means to protect the kinescope against damage during coil movement.
