  • Patent number: 8512214
    Abstract: A method for folding sheets of a medium is provided. The method includes rotating a cam mechanism through a first period of rotation to cause a crease blade to move in a contact direction to create a crease in the sheets by pushing the sheets between a pair of first rolls, and rotating the cam mechanism through a second period of rotation to cause the crease blade to move in a retracting direction away from the sheets and cause a lever to move first and second scissor arms such that the pair of first rolls is separated and a pair of second rolls is separated. One of the second rolls is movable by the second scissor arm.

  • Publication number: 20120320182
    Abstract: An electro optical image-magnifying device uses both a light image and electrons to form and enlarge the image. The device may be attached to a microscope or a telescope and may be placed in such a way that an image plane may fall on a photo cathode in the front of the device. The operator would view the image produced on a display screen, or thru an eyepiece, and would adjust a control power supply to achieve the desired magnification. The device may use both a light image and electrons to form and enlarge an image. The device may convert the light image into an electron wave representation. The electron wave representation may be manipulated electrically or magnetically, expanding its geometry and thus magnifying the image.
