Abstract: 1,124,803. Seat reservations &c. BUNKER-RAMO CORP. 5 Oct., 1965 [5 Oct., 1964], No. 42323/65. Heading G4T. An on-line reservation system for making airline, hotel, or train bookings comprises, developing query signals corresponding to the booking required, storing said query in a recirculating memory and control apparatus 18, presenting on a C.R.T. a line of alphanumeric characters based on said query signals, directing said stored query signals to a data processor 24 containing data representing current reservation information, developing from said data a series of reply signals, storing said reply signals in said recirculating memory 18 and presenting on said C.R.T. in positions adjacent said query characters a series of lines of alphanumeric characters identifying the reservation state of the airline, hotel, or train with respect to the query. As illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3 (not shown), the system comprises a number of agent stations (10) each including a manually operable keyboard (12) and a C.R.T. display device (14). Depression of a key of any keyboard transmits a corresponding electrical signal via line 16 to recirculating memory and control apparatus 18 where the signal is temporarily stored. Apparatus 18 also sends a periodically recurring signal over a line 20 to activate the associated C.R.T. 14. As subsequent keys are depressed, a complete message is assembled in a line of the C.R.T. Apparatus 18 is connected by a twoway transmission circuit 22 to a data processor 24 which includes a rotating magnetic drum 26 having a seat inventory area 70, and an address storage area 62. To make an "availability call", the agent depresses the (AVAIL) key which produces the letter A on the C.R.T. screen (Fig. 5, not shown) after which he enters the query and depresses the (TRANS) key. This enters in the delay line 28 a code which is detected by transmit control 43 which activates gate 44 to direct the query to a transmitter 46. The transmitter sends electrical signals through circuit 22 to data processor 24 where the query is stored in a message register 48. The query is examined by binary analyser 50 which has a plurality of output leads 52. Leads 52 are connected to identifier 54 which leads via line 56 to a reading control circuit 58 which operates to gate the corresponding transducer heads 60 of drum 26. The heads 60 co-operate with address storage area 62 and are arranged to read out a group of individual flight addresses corresponding to the group address developed by the identifier circuit 54. These addresses are then directed to a flight data read/write control 66 which activates suitable gates for heads 68 to effect the read-out from drum area 70, the signals being stored in registers 72. Signals are directed Via lead 78 to a reply generator 80 indicating which of the several flights has sufficient space to satisfy the agent's requirements.

Abstract: 1,212,534. Testing insulation. OKONITE CO. Sept.29, 1967 [Oct.3, 1966], No.44554/67. Heading G1U. An electric cable is inspected for insulation discontinuities by applying a sinusoidal alternating voltage between the cable conductor and an external electrode to cause ionization to occur in any discontinuities, and operating a corona discharge detector only during intervals when the sinusoidal voltage is at or near a peak value. The voltage alone may induce corona, alternatively the cable may be irradiated from an X-ray source while the detector is operated. This gated detection system is less likely to respond to external noise induced in the cable, and in one embodiment enables the relative effects of the voltage alone and voltage plus irradiation to be compared. The output from a high voltage a.c. source 2 applied across the cable 6 and also to a 180 degrees phase shifter 12. The output from this passes via a phase splitter 16 to control a multi-vibrator 18 designed to normally provide a high level output but supplying short pulses of lower level at times corresponding to the positive peaks in the high voltage waveform. The pulses are used to control the grid bias of an X-ray source 30 and to activate a detector amplifier 26, so that irradiation and corona detection occur only around the positive peaks in the applied waveform. In a further embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown) the detector only is also operated around negative peaks, so that the effect of the voltage peaks alone may be compared with that of the voltage plus irradiation.
