Abstract: A color printing system achieves enhanced registration of a plurality of color separations. A plurality of color separation images are formed on a receptor (16) in spaced relationship to one another, the distance between the leading edges of successive images corresponding to a pitch distance. The motion components (18, 20, 22, 26, 28, 32, 40) of the system have circumferences which are equal to or a submultiple of the pitch distance. Any systematic errors due to motion of the components will repeat themselves identically for each color separation and eliminate misregistration.

Abstract: A data processing system, and method of operation, are disclosed wherein means are provided to prevent deadlock during the execution of instructions requiring multiple resources. The system detects potential deadlock situations where a multi-resource instruction is blocked from obtaining one of the resources. A multi-resource instruction global lock is provided that can be held by at most one processor. Upon conflict detection, the processor attempts to acquire the multi-resource instruction global lock and, if successful, resumes resource acquisition. The use of a global lock serialises multiple resource requests and assures that the processor holding the lock can eventually acquire all required resources without deadlock with another processor. The preferred embodiment acquires the global lock on an exception basis to minimise the overhead impact. However, an alternate embodiment which uses the global lock in each multiple resource instruction could also be implemented. In preferred embodiments synonym detection logic is also provided to detect the situation where a conflict is caused by address resolution to a synonymous lock by the processor.

Abstract: When there is an incoming call to a digital line (1) and the digital line is to be connected to a digital terminal (18), a CPU (4) connects the line and the terminal directly. When the digital line is to be connected to an analog individual line telephone (17) or the like, the line and the terminal are connected via a level controller (14). The level controller shifts, to an appropriate level, the level of a voice signal represented by data received from the digital line, and the analog individual line telephone or the like connected to the extension receives the voice signal shifted to the appropriate level.

Abstract: A mechanical anti-theft device of the type applied to the steering wheel of an automotive vehicle which automatically ratchets to it's applied position without necessity of key lock actuation is provided with several security enhancing features which cumulatively prevent or make the device exceedingly difficult to unlock using conventional burglary tools or lock picking techniques. The features include configuring the ratchet teeth of the telescoping rod member in a way which minimizes any attempt to deactivate the lock unless the key is used. In combination with the ratchet teeth configuration, the lock pawl mechanism is configured to include an arcuate, transversely extending apex edge line or surface which cooperates with or is sized to be coincident with the rod members circumference to prevent a wedge, shim or pick from being readily easily inserted between pawl and ratchet tooth to force a retraction of the pawl.

Abstract: To efficiently implement the algorithm for branching each broadcast call as close to the output of a multi-stage switching fabric as possible, the path hunt for a call path is performed by examining the actual contents of control memories (in time slot interchangers (131,141) and time-multiplexed switch (120)) that control the switching stages of the switching system, in order to determine whether - and if so, where - the desired call path may be branched from an existing call path inside of the switching system. For efficiency and speed, the examination is performed by monitoring control memory contents being read out for the purpose of controlling the switching stages, and contents of control memories of multiple stages are monitored in parallel using dedicated monitoring hardware. To avoid the need to examine the control memories' contents in order to determine how much of a call path can be torn down without breaking call path segments shared with other existing call paths, separate counts are kept of instances of present use of connections between stages of the switching fabric, which counts are incremented upon creation of any branching paths that use these connections and are decremented upon breaking of any branching paths that use these connections.

Abstract: The counter in a high-speed high-resolution superconducting A/D converter may be read at the end of each sampling interval using two binary counters and a SQUID quantizer which toggles between them or using a variable hysteresis SQUID quantizer. The superconducting counting A/D converter may include a double-junction SQUID quantizer and a bidirectional binary counter having n stages of four-junction SQUID flip-flops that may be either electrically grounded or floating, where n is the number of bits of accuracy of the counter. The quantizer continuously tracks an analog signal, generating up-count and down-count voltage pulses of the same polarity on two different output lines for increasing and decreasing values of the analog current, respectively. The bidirectional binary counter algebraically counts the voltage pulses, increasing the binary count when up-count pulses are received and decreasing the binary count when down-count pulses re received. The binary counter is inhibited from receiving up-count or down-count pulses during a period when it is to be read.
