Title: Information transmission systems
IPC: H04Q9/10
Filed: 1975-05-23
Abstract: 1502862 Remote control system; ultrasonic remote control LICENTIA PATENTVERWALTUNGS GmbH 23 May 1975 [18 June 1974 16 Nov 1974] 22567/75 Headings G4H and G4F [Also in Division H3] In a remote control system, e.g. for TV receivers, information is transmitted by means of first and second signals of different frequencies (f 1 , f 2 ) the duration of the first signal being measured in terms of a sequence of predetermined time intervals so that first information is provided according to a predetermined code by the time interval in which the first signal terminates and second information is provided according to a second predetermined code by the proportion of that time interval elapsed at the termination of the first signal. As described, the system is an ultrasonic TV remote control system signal f 1  designating a control function and signal f 2  effecting the control. Each of the above mentioned intervals consists of a group of 1600 periods of f 1  divided into eight 160-period channels. Each group corresponds to a class of command (Group I = analog functions (volume brightness &c.), Group II = on/off, Groups III and IV = programme selection) and each channel corresponds to a command within that class. Thus the nth command (channel) of the mth class (group) would be represented by 1600m+160n pulses (Group I starting at pulse 1600) i.e. a signal f 1  terminating after 160n periods of the mth intervals. Transmitter (Fig. 3).-A command in channels K1-K8 and groups 87-90 is selected by means of switches S1-S32, a shift register 86 storing one 0 and seven is and a coder 94 storing a binary signal 92 93. Oscillations 95 for an ultrasonic transducer 96 are counted in a counter 97 consisting of 16, 10, 10 and 8 count stages Z1-Z4 the group count 99a-99c being compared 22 with the group code 92, 93. When the desired group is reached gate G2 is enabled and 160-count pulses 23 shift the data in 86 until the 0 is reached; this signal 91 then causes the oscillator to transmit frequency f 2  for a predetermined time. The transmitter incorporates means for ensuring a minimum interval between control orders and to avoid faulty operation due to simultaneous switch selection (Figs. 4-7, not shown). Receiver (Fig. 1).-Ultrasonic signals are received 1 and fed to a frequency detector 2 with outputs 3 (f 2 ) and 4 (f 1 ). Reception of a signal causes a monostable 5 to reset a counter 11-14 (with 16, 10, 10 and 8 count stages as in the transmitter); a gate 7 is enabled if the received frequency is not f 2 . The 1600-counts are fed as a 3-bit binary signal ABC to four decoders 15, 16, ... (one per group) which enable respective gates 20, 21, ... in their respective intervals. The 160 (channel) counts are obtained from stage 12 and fed to gates 20 &c. For a given group (interval), the number of pulses passing through its gate indicates the selected channel. At the end of the fourth interval (i.e. signal 101 from stage 14) gate 7 is blocked and signal f 2  is received to perform the selected function.

Filed: 1976-06-04
Abstract: 1510085 Fire alarms AMERICAN DISTRICT TELEGRAPH CO 4 June 1976 [5 Feb 1976] 23069/76 Heading G4N A sprinkler flow detector for providing an alarm signal when a predetermined condition of fluid flow exists in a sprinkler system which includes a system side containing fluid under pressure and having at least one inlet and at least one outlet port, the detector comprising a pressure transducer 24 in communication with the system side for translating fluid pressure into an electrical output signal and signal processing circuitry supplied with the transducer output for providing the alarm signal whenever pressure excursions of the fluid exceed at least one predetermined criterion. As described and shown in Fig. 3, the transducer is a linear variable differential transformer type and the processing circuitry consists of a bandpass amplifier 42 having a low frequency cut-off of 0À025 Hertz and a highfrequency cut-off of 1 Hertz and gives an output inversely proportional to pressure, a pressure-drop threshold circuit 44, an integrator 46, a second threshold circuit 48 and an alarm relay 50. Redundant circuitry 42a-48a and an OR circuit 64 are also provided. Thus, if the pressure drops and the threshold level of 44 is exceeded, and if this condition persists for a time determined by integrator 46, alarm relay 50 is energized to operate an alarm, e.g. a lamp. Circuitry is also provided for checking system parameters, and low or high level pressure excursions. As shown in Fig. 3 a comparator 38 compares the pressure signal with low and high reference levels and causes de-energization of a trouble alarm relay 40, via an OR gate 60.

Title: Device for the automatic turning of the eggs and for supplying fresh air in incubators
IPC: A01K41/06
Filed: 1928-08-10
Abstract: 321,676. Wesemann, H. Aug. 10, 1928. Hatching-appliances. - In an incubator in which the egg drums are rotated a blade wheel is used to effect the rotation and at the same time to operate devices for ventilating and distributing the air in the incubating chambers. An egg drum 14, Figs. 1 and 2, preferably cubical, holding egg trays 15 with double layers of eggs between perforated top and bottom plates, is mounted on a shaft 7 which extends through the wall of the incubating chamber and carries a blade wheel 8 with buckets 9 on to which water drops in a regulated flow from a container 10. The wheel has radial rods 29 with adjustable weights 29<1> and rotates through 180‹ at intervals which are. controlled by adjusting a regulator 13 for the water flow. A sprocket wheel 19 on the shaft 7 is connected to a sprocket wheel 21 on an auxiliary shaft 22 at the top of the incubator which works rotary slides 27 operating in conjunction with air outlet holes 24 and flat slides 25 covering air boxes 23. Air inlets 28 at the bottom of the incubator, heaters 58, and air gaps 15<11> between the egg trays 15 are provided to ensure efficient distribution of the air. In a modification, Fig. 3, the water flows from the container 10 on to a tipping gutter 30 with a finger 33 which coacts with two or more brake stops 35 on the blade wheel, the direction of rotation of the wheel and the drums being thus reversed. The buckets on the wheel are made double and a central air shaft 15<1> extending through the drum is provided. In another device for reversing the direction of rotation of the drum a blade wheel 8<1>, Fig. 8, rotating always in the same direction, is loosely mounted on the shaft 7 and through sprocket wheels 44, 46 and a crank disc drives a crank rod 40 with a rack which rotates a pinion rigidly connected to the shaft 7. More efficient distribution of air in the incubator is obtained by blades 55, Fig. 12, rotating in the central air shaft 15<1>. These blades are mounted on a shaft 55<1> which rotates freely in a tubular extension of the shaft 7 at one end and at the other in bearings 53 in a ring hub 47 by which the inner ends of the drums are mounted when a series of drums is used. The ring hub is mounted on rollers 48 carried by a standard 49. The shaft 55 is driven by bevel wheels 54 and a shaft 56 from a bevel wheel on the shaft 22. Fresh air is supplied to the blades through two air tubes 60 united at the top to form an air hood 61. Rotary drums containing creeping-out trays are driven by sprocket wheel and chain connections from the shaft 22, and these drums are aerated by propeller blade wheels rotating above fresh air pipes.
