Abstract: 1434796 Single sideband transmission system SIEMENS AG 25 April 1973 [4 May 1972] 19778/73 Heading H4R In a telecommunications system for transmission of video or data by a single sideband suppressed carrier modulation system operating with over modulation of the carrier, the signal is fed to the suppressed carrier modulator 2 via pre-emphasis circuit 1 which attenuates the low frequencies to such an extent that frequencies in the vicinity of a residual carrier, which is added to the modulator output, at 3, before application to the Nyquist filter 4 for production of the vestigial sideband, have a modulation degree of less than 100% in vicinity of the carrier frequency signal. At the receiver the carrier is recovered by a band pass filter 5 and the output of the demodulator 7 is fed through a de-emphasis circuit 8 to restore the original signal characteristics. As described the receiver includes a clamping circuit 9 and the pre-emphasis circuit is arranged so that at no frequency does it possess a higher degree of attenuation than the interference voltage attenuation provided by the clamping circuit 9 so that the signal to noise ratio is not reduced by the pre-emphasis. In a preferred embodiment of the carrier recovery system of the receiver, Fig. 7, the band pass filter is formed by an npath filter formed by the components 15 to 23 which provides at its output a double sideband signal whose modulation level is less than 25%, and the carrier is recovered from this signal by limiter 24. Phase errors which may occur in the n path filter are compensated by a phase control circuit including phase comparator 12 and phase shifter 14 which compares the incoming carrier with the recovered carrier at 25.

Abstract: 811,469. Gauging gear sizes. ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS. June 28, 1956, No. 20080/50. Class 106 (2). [Also in Group XXX] An apparatus for checking the size of gear wheels comprises means for receiving a gear-wheel from a source of supply and automatically locating the gear in a desired position and orientation in the apparatus, and means operable in timed relationship with the locating means for checking the gear. As shown, gears 16, Fig. 1, on a conveyer belt 18 enter a shoot 30 that turns them into a vertical plane so that they may roll down a pair of inclined racks 44 having teeth 46, Fig. 4, to a lever 48 which can oscillate to permit one gear at a time to roll on to a stop member 52. A pressure plate 64, Fig. 2, then moves against one side face of the gear-wheel to hold it steady and a checking finger 74 is moved, by spring means 92, into the space between adjacent gear teeth as shown in Fig. 3, the displacement of the finger 74 being transmitted to a dial gauge 122 and to an electric gauge head 236 which is set to operate if the gear-wheel is not within predetermined tolerance limits. As the finger 74 moves away from the gear-wheel the stop member 52 and pressure plate 64 are withdrawn and a lever 208, Fig. 3, is rocked clockwise to displace the stop 52 and strike the gear-wheel 16 to cause it to move on down the track 44. The stop member 52 then moves back into position and a further gear-wheel 16 is released by the lever 48. The actions of the various parts are all controlled in sequence by a number of cams driven by an electric motor 138. If a gear-wheel is no within a predetermined tolerance, the electric gauge head 236 actuates a solenoid 230, Fig. 1, operating a gate 226 to cause rejected gears to roll down a lower shoot 222 to a container 26, otherwise the accepted gears roll down an upper shoot to a container or conveyer belt 24. Impulse means 264, 256 in each shoot are electrically connected to an electric control panel 246 which includes means for stopping a machine making and supplying the gears after a predetermined number of consecutive gears have been determined unacceptable and also when a predetermined percentage of the gears are determined unacceptable.

Abstract: 960,669. Staticisers. BECKMAN INSTRUMENTS Inc. May 25, 1962 [Sept. 19, 1961], No. 20149/62. Heading G4C. A staticiser for binary data received serially on line 19 comprises a series of bi-stable elements 85-88 which operate as a stepping counter controlling the input of data bits into itself. Prior to entry all stages are set to "1" by a clear pulse from line 94, and subsequent clock pulses from 59 reset 85, 86 &c. in turn; once an element is reset its associated diode 126 &c. blocks the clock pulses from travelling beyond it and it opens the inhibit gate 146 &c. to allow the next clock pulse to reset the next element to the right. At the second clock pulse, as 86 is reset, entry of data commences, and the resetting of 86 produces a pulse to open gate 140 and enter the first bit into 85 (a pulse on line 19 represents "1", no pulse = "0"). Thus as the elements are reset in turn they each allow a "1" pulse, if present, to set the previous element. Element 155 completes the counting chain but is not used for storage. Specification 914,829 is referred to.
