Title: Pulse decoder
IPC: G01S13/78
Filed: 1964-03-03
Abstract: 1,014,713. Selective signalling systems. SOC. NOVELLE D'ELECTRONIQUE ET DE LA RADIO INDUSTRIE. March 3, 1964 [March 5, 1963], No. 8921/64. Heading G4H. [Also in Division H4] A pulse train which includes a pair of framing pulses spaced by a predetermined interval and is received from an aircraft transponder, is entered in a shift register, two stages of which correspond to the positions of the framing pulses in the train and are used to control transfer of the code pulses stored in the remaining stages to an output device. The equipment shown in Fig. 4 includes two seriallyconnected shift registers 51, 52, the pulse train being applied at terminal E. The first framing pulse sets bi-stable circuit 1 to turn on oscillator 2 which then provides sampling pulses at AND gate 4 and shift pulses for registers 51, 52. When the pulse train has been shifted completely into register 51, the two framing pulses are stored in stages 51-1 and 51-15, and AND gate 8 produces an output which passes through gate 13 to transfer the code pulses to output register 7. An additional identification pulse may be stored in stage 52-16 of register 52, and this may also be transferred to register 7 as shown. The output of OR gate 15 is used to reset circuit 1. The equipment avoids garbling as follows. If a second pulse train closely follows the first and is in phase therewith, at least one of the stages of register 52 will store a pulse when AND gate 8 produces an output. In this case, AND gate 11 is enabled and triggers a monostable circuit 12 to inhibit gate 13 and prevent transfer of the code pulses to register 7. The first pulse train is therefore rejected. When the second pulse train is completely entered in register 51, it is transferred to register 7, provided it in turn is not closely followed by another pulse train. If the second pulse train is not in phase with the first train, it is rejected by AND gate 4. If two pulse trains are in phase and overlap one another, the first train is rejected as described above, and the second train is also rejected by choosing the relaxation time of circuit 12 to be equal to or greater than the length of a complete pulse train. If two trains are overlapping but out of phase, the first train only is extracted as described above. Fig. 5 (not shown), illustrates a two-channel system which is capable of separating and recording two overlapping pulse trains provided they are phase-displaced by more than a predetermined amount.

Title: Improvements in apparatus for imparting motion to other apparatus or mechanism
IPC: G09F19/02
Filed: 1924-04-09
Abstract: 217,187. Wisniewski, V. June 6, 1923, [Convention date]. Boards, reciprocating; actuating.-In a device for imparting reciprocating motion to an advertising board or other apparatus, a pendulum is attracted by an electromagnet, the pendulum rod comprising flexible material such as a leaf spring þ. To the adjustable pendulum mass d is attached, preferably by a curved rod e, an iron core f. The circuit of an adjustably-mounted solenoid g is made through a contact i on an adjustable standard h and a wiper contact k on the pendulum c. When these two contacts connect, as shown in broken lines, the core f is attracted within the solenoid and carries the contact k down beyond the contact i, thus breaking circuit and allowing the pendulum to fly back. An insulating layer l prevents electrical connection between the contacts on the backward swing. A spring m abuts against the pendulum c and is stressed when the core f is being attracted within the solenoid. An advertising board n in a frame, o riding on rollers p may be oscillated by a connecting-rod r. A solenoid may be arranged at each side of the pendulum.
