Title: Remote monitoring system
IPC: G16H40/67
Filed: 1973-04-27
Abstract: 1416351 Intercommunication systems A VERRIEST 27 April 1973 [2 April 1973] 20129/73 Heading H4K A telephone system, e.g. for use in a hospital or like institution, includes a monitoring station 1 and a plurality of telephones 20 interconnected therewith either directly or via sub-stations 2 in the form of concentrators, and the system is characterized in that each telephone includes means for looping the line with the hand set on-hook and a signal generator for transmitting a tone over a looped line to the monitoring station so as to identify the calling subscriber, e.g. a hospital patient. In the embodiment a hospital patient or other person likely to require attention either lifts his handset to operate hook switch 22 or causes a switch 23 to be closed to short the hook switch, e.g. by pressing a key or in a further embodiment by hitting the subset to activate a transducer which causes the switch to close. A signal generator then transmits a tone, e.g. a single frequency or a combination of frequencies from the subset to the monitoring station where a visual and/or audible signal is given to indicate the calling line. An operator can then speak to the calling subscriber. The operator may extend the connection to aid posts 12 where duty doctors, nurses or welfare workers &c. may be available or to emergency services 13 such as a hospital, ambulance, police, fire-brigade. Where the subscribers are liable to require medical attention a card index 15 may be provided at the monitoring station which is arranged such that a card relating to a calling subscriber is automatically selected on receipt of the calling frequency tone of the subscriber. It may also be arranged for instruments such as a thermometer, an analytical probe or a device measuring pulse rate to be read via the telephone lines, the depression of a further key at the subset causing signals representing the readings of such instruments to be transmitted to the monitoring stations. Where sub-stations 2, i.e. concentrators are used the monitoring station may be connected with the sub-station 2 via separate signalling and speech paths 3, 4.

Title: Storage system for electric signal or signals
IPC: G11C8/00
Filed: 1957-07-02
Abstract: 822,212. Magnetic storage matrices. KOKUSAI DENSHIN DENWA KABUSHIKI KAISHA. July 2, 1957 [July 4, 1956; Nov. 5, 1956], No. 20883/57. Class 40 (9). The windings 101-110 and 200-209, Fig. 4, linking the columns and rows of cores in a storage matrix are fed with partial writing pulses of direct and alternating current respectively. A core is undisturbed by a partial writing pulse of either kind alone but is switched when pulses of the two kinds coincide, if the direct current pulse is of suitable polarity. A looped B/H curve, Fig. 3C, is traced when a core is switched. The magnitude and the polarity of the remanent induction B, in a core, are indicated by the strength and the phase of the second harmonic of a reading pulse frequency induced in the direct current winding when a reading pulse is applied to the alternating current winding linked with the core. Reading is non-destructive. In a modification a sensing winding links all the cores. Separate reading frequencies f2, f3 are simultaneously applied to the row and column windings linking a selected core and the state of the core is derived from the phase and the magnitude of one of the modulation products (f2-f3) and (#2+#3) induced in the sensing winding. The unselected cores produce no spurious signals of these frequencies. Barium titanate storage elements may be used instead of magnetic cores.

Filed: 1954-07-19
Abstract: 760,440. Adjusting radio apparatus. LOEWE OPTA AKT.-GES. July 19, 1954 [July 20, 1953]. No. 20931/54. Class 40(5) In a radio receiver comprising two separate wave ranges employing separate adjustable tuning elements and tuning indicators, tuning in either range is effected by rotation of a shaft 1, which may be coupled selectively to either of the tuning elements and indicators by means of coupling elements 2, 3 which are loosely mounted on shaft 1 but which may be selectively coupled to the shaft by means of the pin 4 engaging with teeth upon the elements 2, 3, means being provided whereby the element which is not coupled to the shaft is prevented from rotation so long as it remains uncoupled. Thus rotation of the shaft 7; under control of a wave-change switch, in a clockwise direction causes the elements 2, 3 to take up the position shown, the lever 5 being urged by the spring 14 fixed to the shaft 7 to depress the element 3, and hence the arm 16 of: the lever 6, the other arm 15 of which carries the element 2 into engagement with the pin 4. Rotation of the shaft 1 then causes element 2 to rotate and carry around the driving cord 8. while element 3 is held against any chance rotation by being gripped between the lever 5 and arm 16 of lever 16. On subsequent operation of shaft 7 in an anticlockwise direction, the tuning corresponding to the original position of the'element 3 is restored and element 2 is held to prevent its movement so that the tuning corresponding to its setting can be easily regained. In a modification. Fig. 4 a simple lever mechanism 25 provides the axial movement of the elements 2, 3, the elements being held against chance rotation by spring strips 17, 18 which bear against them.
