Filed: 1966-03-31
Abstract: 1,104,496. Record retrieval. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. 31 March, 1966 [7 April, 1965], No. 14302/66. Heading G4C. A multi-record data block is selected and transferred from one store to another, means being provided for then selecting a record therein by address and by associative key. The main memory 48 of a computer selects a track in a multi-disc store 32. Each of a number of sectors of the track contains, in order, (a) a record marker (8, Fig. lb, not shown) which may be a single bit, a gap or a series of bits; (b) the number of the record in the track (20); (c) a field specifying the length of the next two fields (21); (d) a tag field (18); (e) a data field (14). The record markers in the selected track are detected 34 and counted 38. Each record marker also sets the following record number into a buffer register 36 to select a plane in a core store 46 into which the rest of the sector is read. During one revolution of the discs, a track address field in the track will be read and compared with the identity of the track required, as a check (no details). The record number or tag field of a record in the track required by the main memory 48 may be set in an address register 50 or key register 52 respectively. In the former case, completion of one revolution of the discs, as indicated by the count of record markers, permits the main memory 48, when it is ready, to pass the record number from its register 50 to address the core store 46 and read out the desired record to the main memory 48. In the latter case, on the other hand, completion of one revolution causes an address generator 58 to obtain the tags stored in the core store 46 in turn for comparison 60 with the required tag. On equality, incrementing of the address generator 58 stops and the main memory 48 is permitted, when it is ready, to use the address reached, now stored in the address register 50, to obtain the desired record from the core store 46. The core store may be read back into the disc track.

Abstract: 235,216. Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Kasley, A. T.). June 9, 1924, [Convention date]. Fluid governors; fluid relays.-A constant fluid pressure, which can be regulated by an adjustable relief valve, is added to the load on a member responsive to fluid pressure which varies with the speed of the machine to be controlled in order to avoid the use of very strong or additional springs. Fluid-pressure set up by the engine-driven pump 13 acts beneath the head 42 of a pilot valve 34 positioned within the hollow relay piston 23, and also acts against the action of spring 49 on a piston 47, Fig. 2, which is connected to the pilot valve, and which fits loosely in cylinder 46, allowing leakage. The pressure behind the piston 47 is kept constant by a relief valve 54 whose loading spring is adjustable in order to set the governor for various speeds. An increase of speed causes the piston valve to rise, admitting fluid by ports 37, 26 beneath piston 23, and exhausting from above the piston by ports 24, 41, 27. The piston 23 moves to close the main stop valve and to take up neutral position in relation to the piston valve. A decrease of speed causes the operation to be reversed. The fluid relay may be dispensed with, the piston 47 acting directly on the main stop valve. In a modification, Fig. 4, the piston valve head 42 fits loosely in the cylindrical extension 29 on the piston 23, the relief valve 83 controlling the pressure above the head. The piston valve is also loaded by a tension spring 76. Specifications 207,803 and 209,403 are referred to.
