Patent for new improvements on combined adding and listing machines simplifying and economizing construction and facilitating, "rapidity of operation" (lines14-15). Improvements include: "causing the keys to act directly as stops for the adding wheel section; to provide novel accumulator mechanism...[with] a novel actuator; to provide a novel construction or sector-control bar; to provide a novel key-bar for operating...; to provide novel means for restoring the accumulator to normal; to provide stop mechanism to permit the carryovers of the accumulator...;to provide novel means for restoring the sectors to normal; to provide improved means for holding the accumulator in operative or inoperative position...; to provide novel means for connecting the accumulator sectors with the type sectors; 5o provide novel means for connecting the accumulator sectors with the type sectors; to provide novel means for actuating the hammer and paper feed mechanism; to provide improved general-error key mechanism; to provide an improved construction and operation of key-bar and sector-control bar; to permit of the operation of elimination" (lines 15-46).

A very large (10's of meters) aperture space telescope including two separate spacecraft--an optical primary functioning as a magnifying glass and an optical secondary functioning as an eyepiece. The spacecraft are spaced up to several kilometers apart with the eyepiece directly behind the magnifying glass ''aiming'' at an intended target with their relative orientation determining the optical axis of the telescope and hence the targets being observed. The magnifying glass includes a very large-aperture, very-thin-membrane, diffractive lens, e.g., a Fresnel lens, which intercepts incoming light over its full aperture and focuses it towards the eyepiece. The eyepiece has a much smaller, meter-scale aperture and is designed to move along the focal surface of the magnifying glass, gathering up the incoming light and converting it to high quality images. The positions of the two space craft are controlled both to maintain a good optical focus and to point at desired targets.

Patent for an improved, adjustable foot rest that allows for more adjustments and range of motion "to any desired position for the comfort of the user" (lines 13-14), and is secured to the floor.
