  • Acoustic data output device having single addressable memory
    Patent number: 5303629
    Abstract: An acoustic data output device comprises an addressable memory for storing acoustic data. A plurality of clock signals are coupled to count separate address counters of a number corresponding to the number of clock signals. A signal selector is responsive to the clock signals for providing an address counter selection signal, whereby at any given time the selection signal corresponds to a separate one of the address counters. An addressing device is responsive to the address counter selection signal for selectively addressing the addressable memory with the count of the corresponding address counter. A separate data latch corresponds to each address counter and the data latches are coupled to receive the output of said addressable memory. The outputs of the data latches are synchronized with the clock signal corresponding thereto.

  • Wall clock
    Patent number: 5303211
    Abstract: A wall clock has a first time increment portion comprising a stationary frame member. A timepiece movement is supported by the stationary frame member. A first wheel is rotatably driven by the timepiece movement, and a first time indicating member is rotatably driven by the timepiece movement for indicating a first time increment (i.e., hours). A belt is disposed around and driven by the first wheel. A second time increment portion rotatably supports a second wheel. The second wheel is rotatably driven by and suspended only by the belt, so that the second time increment portion is suspended only by the belt. A second time indicating member is rotatably driven by the second wheel for indicating a second time increment (i.e., minutes).

  • Method for setting an apparatus having a sensor
    Patent number: 5297880
    Abstract: A method for setting an apparatus, such as a printer, wherein a sensor is mounted to sense the position of a settable detection object during operation of the apparatus. The apparatus may be set as a function of the occurrence of an output from the sensor that is above or below a predetermined level at predetermined setting positions, as a function of the setting position that is close to the middle point of a range defined by adjacent positions at which the output level of the sensor rises above and falls below the predetermined level, or as a function of the position at which the highest output from the sensor is detected.
