Adjustment Mechanism For Equipment Converting Digital Data Into A Light Image

US Patent:
5379059, Jan 3, 1995
Filed:
Jun 10, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/896226
Inventors:
Malcolm Winsor - Mont Vernon NH
Assignee:
Cirrus Technology Inc. - Nashua NH
International Classification:
B41J 2435
US Classification:
346108
Abstract:
In a digital imaging system in which a number of lasers provide different colored beams that are combined into a single collimated focused beam so that the film is exposed to all color components simultaneously, an improved alignment system in which critical adjustments are entirely independent from the optical source or subsequent mirrors. The elevation of the final beam path is controlled by independently changing the angular path of each beam component before it is directed along the final beam path. The azimuth and elevation and the final lateral position of each beam component along the final beam path is independently adjusted by changing the azimuth and elevation angle of a mirror that deflects the corresponding beam component along the final beam path. In a preferred embodiment, a light beam is directed by a movable mirror to a modulator for varying the intensity of the beam in accordance with the digital data. The mirror and the modulation means are supported together in fixed relationship on a movable mount that is angularly adjustable independently from the optical source and from subsequent optical components.

Mirror Mount For Use In Equipment For Converting Digital Data Into A Light Image

US Patent:
5367323, Nov 22, 1994
Filed:
Jun 10, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/896183
Inventors:
Malcolm Winsor - Mont Vernon NH
Assignee:
Cirrus Technology Inc. - Nashua NH
International Classification:
B41J 2435
US Classification:
346139R
Abstract:
In a digital imaging system in which a number of lasers provide different colored beams that are combined into a single collimated focused beam so that the film is exposed to all color components simultaneously, an improved mirror mount in which individual critical adjustments are made without affecting the setting of other adjustments. A mirror is mounted on a block that is in face-to-face relationship with a stand. A pivot ball is positioned in two recesses in the opposing faces to permit angular adjustment of the mounting block in a first plane relative to said stand, and a second adjustment permits movement of said block relative to said stand about the pivot ball in a plane perpendicular to said first plane. A third adjustment permits transverse movement of the mirror mount.

Laser-Actuated Digital Imaging System

US Patent:
4933687, Jun 12, 1990
Filed:
Oct 3, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/252670
Inventors:
Malcolm Winsor - Mont Vernon NH
Assignee:
Cirrus Technology Inc. - Nashua NH
International Classification:
G01D 1514, H04N 146
US Classification:
346108
Abstract:
In a photoplotter for making use of digital data to produce photographic images, a collimated light source provides precision focusing. Three laser light beams are combined into a single coincident beam so that the film is exposed to all color components simultaneously. In the beam alignment system, the different adjustments are entirely independent which simplifies the alignment of the light beams. The elevation of the final beam path is controlled by independently changing the angular path of each beam component before it is directed along the final beam path, by means of three movable platforms each carrying an optical modulator and a mirror. The azimuth and elevation angles and the lateral position of each beam component along the final beam path are independently adjusted by changing the azimuth and elevation angles and the lateral position of a mirror that deflects the corresponding beam component along the final beam path. The adjustments are substantially independent with a miniumum of interaction. A moving mirror assembly causes the beam to move laterally to scan a film on a rotating drum.

Vending Machine With Improved Flexibility Of Product Distribution

US Patent:
4699295, Oct 13, 1987
Filed:
Sep 30, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/781951
Inventors:
Louis A. Cedrone - Eastchester NY
Bruce Vahjen - Yorktown Heights NY
Richard T. Garton - Croton-On-Hudson NY
Thomas F. Williams - New Canaan CT
Malcolm C. Winsor - Mount Vernon NH
Assignee:
PepsiCo Inc. - Purchase NY
International Classification:
B65G 5906
US Classification:
221108
Abstract:
A vending machine designed to increase the flexibility of product storage and distribution therein, allowing specific product capacities to be increased or decreased in small increments without a loss of product selection. In the vending machine, a plurality of substantially vertical partitions define a plurality of vertical adjacent columns for product storage, wherein adjacent product storage columns are separated by a vertical partition. A removable product transfer shelf is placed at a selected vertical position in at least one particular product storage column, such that products below the transfer shelf are vended by actuation of the vending mechanism for that particular product column, while products above the transfer shelf are transferred thereby to an adjacent product column to be vended by the vending machine for the adjacent product column. A transfer gate is positioned adjacent to the product transfer shelf in the vertical partition between the particular product column and the adjacent product column. The transfer gate pivotally opens into the adjacent product column after the level of products therein falls below the gate to allow it to open.

Decubiti Ulcer System

US Patent:
7895688, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Oct 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/287708
Inventors:
Jay Ronald Rowes - Wareham MA, US
Malcolm C. Winsor - Mount Vernon NH, US
David A. Zlotek - Nashua NH, US
International Classification:
A47B 7/00, A61G 5/00
US Classification:
5612, 5607, 5609, 5 881, 5 811 R
Abstract:
A system and procedure for preventing and enhancing healing of Decubiti ulcers on patients, comprising the steps of placing the patient on a web adapted to support the patient, the web having a patient contacting portion and a non-patient contacting portion, the web having an opening through the web, positioned so that the opening surrounds the ulcer and prevents contact of the web with the ulcer, and using a web support system adapted to support the web by attachment only to the non-patient contacting portion, to solely support the web with a patient on it. The procedure may also include a step wherein a rocking device is used that acts through the web support system to selectively tilt the web and thereby to tilt the patient on the patient contact portion of the web, so that the pressure between the patient and the web is cyclically altered.

Wheelchair

US Patent:
4044850, Aug 30, 1977
Filed:
Apr 14, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/567547
Inventors:
Malcolm C. Winsor - Mont Vernon NH
International Classification:
B62D 5504
US Classification:
180 92C
Abstract:
A wheelchair with relatively large diameter wheels on each side of the chair frame and two smaller wheels in front carries one or more continuous traction belts beneath the seat and/or the back of the chair in retracted position when the chair is used on a flat surface. The large wheels are each attached to the frame by a lever controlled mechanism manipulated by the operator to raise the large wheels, lowering the seat and tilting the chair backward so that the chair rides on the continuous traction belts. This action is taken at a steep incline or at steps to place the operator in a safe, comfortable position with lowered center of gravity for ascending or descending the steps. Means such as an electric motor is provided for driving the traction belts to carry the operator safely up or down the incline or steps.
