Title: Data processing systems
IPC: G06F11/18
Filed: 1971-08-12
Abstract: 1334294 Data processing SIEMENS AG 12 Aug 1971 [18 Aug 1970] 37852/71 Heading G4A A data processing system includes n processing units ST1-ST3 where n is odd and m data stores SP1-SP2 where n > m > 1, the processing units operating in parallel to supply data to the stores or read data from the stores, the arrangement being such that any one processing unit can co-operate with any one store to form a fully functional processing system, the operation of the stores being monitored to determine whether they are operating properly, and the data supplied by the processing units being compared, non-equality causing the majority response to be fed to the stores and the minority inhibited. As described three processing units ST1- ST3 each including program control and information processing sections are provided together with two stores SP1-SP2, the processors and stores being interconnected by signal lines st1p-st3p and pst1-pst3. The store outputs are monitored by circuits ks1 and ks2 which prevent, by controlling switches s11-s13 and s21-s23, erroneous data being supplied to the processors ST1-ST3. If the output of one store is faulty the other continues to supply data to enable the system to continue functioning. The store inputs are controlled by majority decision circuits (see below) which by means of switches p11-p13 and p21-p23 inhibit minority data, i.e. data from a single faulty processor, and pass majority data thus enabling the system to continue to function in the presence of a fault. Data supplied by the processors to external devices EE is similarly monitored by the circuits KT1-KT3. Signals from the majority circuits and the store monitoring circuits may be used to shut down faulty units. The Specification states that each data store may comprise several independent subsystems each having their own control and monitoring circuits. The system is said to be applicable to the control of a telephone exchange. Majority circuit.-An example of a majority circuit is described with reference to Fig. 2 (not shown). Three comparators are provided each connected to a different pair of the three signal lines st1-st3. Three AND gates are each supplied by signals from a different pair of comparators and generate an output signal which controls an inhibiting gate on the appropriate one of the three signal lines. The inhibiting gate may of course control more than one signal line where data is transferred in parallel.

Filed: 1965-09-06
Abstract: 1,088,826. Electric digital computers. VYZKUMNY USTAV MATEMATICKYCH STROJU. Sept. 6, 1965, No. 37919/65. Heading G4A. Computer apparatus for inserting a predetermined programme during a fault condition of the computer comprises logic circuits P1, P2, P3, adapted to pass the required instructions on operation of a manual switch T1, T2, T3. The instructions pass to the control unit 3 and the programme can be terminated by a command from the control unit. In a specific embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown) two logic circuits comprising AND gates, OR gates, delays and inverters with delay are used. One circuit P12 is supplied by clock pulses S2 and acts to emit alternate pulses and gaps on line W to the other circuit 11. The pulses and gaps passed through delay D2 and inverter and delay 13 act to open alternately AND gates M6, M8, M10 and AND gates M7, M9, M11. Thus a pulse S1 supplied by manually closing a switch is passed through delays D3, D4, D5, the pulse being circulated through paths D3, M7, or D4, M9, or D5, M11 when the succeeding AND gate is closed. Each of the delays D3-D5 is coupled to a separate AND gate M16, M15, M14 enabled by pulses from circuit P12. As pulses progress along circuit P11 then outputs appear as: gap; pulse on a, gap; pulse on b; gap; pulse on c. As the pulse reaches line c it is fed back to D4 and recirculated such that the outputs continue: gap; pulse on b; gap; pulse on c. The emission can be discontinued by a pulse on S3 from the control unit which breaks the feedback path round delays D4, D5.

In order to aim a camera, telescope or weapon on to a target in darkness, a device is provided comprising a source of visible or invisible radiation,a condenser lens or mirror and an objective lens, which may be the lens of the instrument being aimed, the condenser being so formed that in conjunction with the objective there is produced on the target a central intensely radiated spot, a field surrounding and less intensely radiated than the spot, and a field surrounding the first field and radiated more intensely than the first field but less than the central spot. As shown in Fig. 1, the condenser may have a central plane face 4 and a surrounding ring-like lens 3 so that visible light source 1 is focused by objective lens 5 as a bright spot 6 which will be surrounded by a darker area 8 itself surrounded by a bright field 9. The central part of the condenser may alternatively be formed as a dispersing lens and, as shown in Fig. 5, two such condenser-objective systems may be used for aiming and range-finding. Rangefinding is effected by movement of angled mirror 19, under control of micrometer drum 21, until bright spot 22 registers with bright spot 6. Light from source and condenser may be projected on to the optical axis of the camera or telescope by a semi-reflector, the objective of the camera or telescope acting in this case as the lens 5. Infrared radiation may be used instead of visible light and an image converter provided.

Title: Optical Wheel Alignment Apparatus.
Inventor: HAYNES DON ALTON
IPC: G01B11/275
Filed: 1967-08-25
Abstract: 1,181,567. Vehicle wheel alignment. FMC. CORP. Aug. 25, 1967 [Sept. 9, 1966], No.39128/67. Heading G1X. [Also in Division G2] In apparatus for optically measuring vehicle wheel alignment, a measuring beam of light MBR, MBL is projected alongside each of a pair of wheels, each beam being reflected by a relay mirror such as R2 on to a mirror R3 mounted on its respective wheel, such as RW, in a vertical plane normal to the wheel axis, the beam of light being thereby reflected back to impinge on calibrated markings on screen units L1, R1 adjacent the light projectors, each screen unit including a movable chart 30 movable by remote control relative to a fixed chart. The wheel mirror R3 is freely suspended from a pivot shaft extending axially from the wheel and attached to the wheel by a mounting 36. The end of the shaft enters a shear chamber formed in the mirror housing and containing a silicone compound fluid to damp oscillations. The mirror comprises one face 48 normal to the wheel axis and two side surfaces 50, 52 inclined at 15 degrees to face 48. The relay mirror R2 is fixed to the floor and has a main mirror adjustably mounted at 45 degrees to the measuring beam MBR and a small reference mirror, behind a window in the main mirror, which is normal to a reference beam projected parallel to MBR. Projection screen units L1, R1 are fixed to the floor and each have a front panel (76, Fig. 5, not shown), bearing a fixed chart (78) with a cut-out for the movable chart (30) in the form of an endless band (82) passing over motor-driven roller (90) and idle roller (92). A light projector (P) has a reticle disc with two apertures providing measuring and reference beams which are directed through aperture (98) in panel (76) and fixed chart (78). Projector (P) tells about horizontal tube (108) to adjust the elevation of the light beams. Operation The apparatus is initially set up using spaced parallel mirrors (196, Fig. 9, not shown), in the wheel positions, and mirrors (L2, R2) are adjusted to give reflected beam images at the zero positions of the fixed charts (78). Mirrors (196) are then replaced by the vehicle wheels bearing mirrors R3, L3 and resting on turn-tables 32, Fig. 1. The (MBR, MBL) images are displaced according to the wheel cambers, the reference beam images (202) being unchanged. Run-out, or wheel wobble is cancelled by tilting mirror (142) and measuring the resulting displacement of the reference beam image (202). Caster effect is measured by turning the wheels through exactly 15 degrees using the inclined mirror faces 50, 52, Fig. 1, and centering the beam image on zero line (200). A resulting vertical displacement is an indication of a change in camber.

Shedding motion; pressing and insertion of links.  The links are stamped from supply strips (140 Figs. 3, 5 not shown) by presses (131) at either side of the machine.  The links are inserted, from opposite sides of the loom alternately, by a grip (154 Figs. 11, 12 not shown) swung through 90 DEG  by a transfer mechanism (145).  Links are inserted under warp sheets raised above the main shed at alternate ficks (Figs. 19, 21 not shown).  At the end of each belt length the stamping and transfer mechanism are disengaged and a plain fabric woven.  The main warp sheets are controlled by shedding mechanisms (62, 62A) oscillated by follower levers engaging a cam (50).  Shedding mechanisms (72, 72A) for the sheets under which the links are inserted are oscillated by a cam shaft (78) mounted on an arm (65) of one of the upper shedding mechanisms (62).  Weft insertion, selvedge formation.  At the end of its traverse the weft inserting hook (102 Figs. 14-7) is closed by a sliding latch (103) and slips-off the loop (101A) of the previous weft to knit a selvedge.  The latch carriage (88) is normally held withdrawn by engagement of a pin (94) with a lever (90) pivoted on the frame. The carriage is released when a pin (95) on the needle carriage strikes the lever.  Take-up motion.  Take up rollers (1 2 3-4 Fig. 3, not shown) drawing the fabric under tension, and the take-up spool, are driven from a worm gear (119) via a gear train. The worm is rotated by a ratchet fixed to a shaft (115) rotated by a rack (111).  The stroke of the take-up is reduced when plain fabric is woven between belt lengths.  The number of belts woven is recorded automatically on a counter.
