Abstract: A system is provided for processing documents. In particular, the system is incorporates a feeder for feeding documents to a device for further processing of the documents. For instance, the system finds particular application in the field of document imaging in which a variety of documents of varying sizes and orientation are to be fed to an imaging system, such as a document scanner. The system may provide an input mechanism for easily identifying a characteristic of one of the documents and the system may include features for handling packets of documents.

Abstract: An electro-optical input device for computers or electronic games which uses electro-optical elements to sense input from a user. A user actuation element, such as a directional control pad or a joystick is pivotally disposed on a printed circuit board. Two photoemitters are mounted on the printed circuit board, at or near the circumference of the footprint described by the user actuation element. The photoemitters are positioned 90.degree. apart, one along the North-South axis of flit of the actuation element, and one along the East-West axis. At least one photodetector is mounted to the base at or near the pivot point of the actuation element so that it can receive light from both of the photoemitters. A skirt or flange depends annularly from the actuation element, at or near its periphery, positioned between the photodetector and the photoemitters.

Abstract: An input device for computers or electronic games using piezoelectric elements. Four piezoelectric devices are mounted on a base in positions ninety degrees apart. A user actuation element, such as a directional control pad and or a joystick is pivotally disposed on the base above the piezoelectric sensors. A biasing element such as a spring, foam or rubber element is positioned between the actuation element and the base to support the actuation device in a neutral position when no face is being applied by a user to also return the activation element to its neutral position after a user's force is removed. Opposing sensors are connected to a bridge circuit such that in the neutral position of the actuation element the output voltage of the bridge is one half of the input voltage.

Abstract: A flats singulation apparatus includes a input buffer section having a substantially horizontal ramp which is adapted to support thereon a stack of flats mailpieces on edge. The buffer section includes a moving belt and ram plate for moving the stack of flat pieces toward the front end of the ramp. A transfer section is at the end of the ramp and is adapted to remove the flat pieces substantially one at a time from the ramp and drop them downwardly. The transfer section includes a plurality of edge rollers extending across the end of the ramp and adapted to move the flat pieces from the stack, and a ledge plate extending downwardly from the edge rollers and having a horizontal ledge onto which the flat pieces drop. A pusher shelf is movable across the ledge to push the flat pieces off of the shelf. A separation section extends substantially horizontally across the end of the transfer section and includes means for moving the flat pieces away from the transfer section and separating flat pieces.

Abstract: A pair of locating washers are applied over the holes in the bottom mounting lugs of the kinescope. The washers have apertures which are precisely referenced with respect to the position of the kinescope screen by using a pair of oppositely-disposed screen locating marks. The TV cabinet, on the other hand, is equipped with a pair of tapered guiding posts on the inside front surfaces thereof, which are similarly referenced relative to the rectangular opening of the cabinet. When the kinescope is loaded into the cabinet, the cabinet guiding posts are received into the kinescope-mounted locating washers to assure registration between the kinescope screen and the cabinet opening. The kinescope is fixedly secured to the cabinet by a plurality of screws.

Abstract: A laminated recorded disc of the type having a core material surrounded by a surface layer of a conductive material is made from a preform having a core surrounded by the conductive material. The preform is made in a mold in which the conductive material is first injected into the mold and then the core material is injected into the conductive material. The disc is made from the preform by placing the preform between the platens of a compression mold and closing the heated platens against the preform. The heated platens heat and apply pressure to the preform to cause the materials of the preform to flow radially outwardly until the materials fill the mold cavity formed by the completely closed platens.
