Title: A system for program execution on a host data processing machine
Inventor: KNUDSEN HELGE
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1990-09-04
Granted: 1994-02-24
Abstract: A programmable computer which operates by executing rules, each including a rule name, and optionally: input parameters, a set of conditions, a set of actions associated with each condition, and a set of exception handlers. A condition is a logical expression which evaluates to a true or false boolean value, while an action is an executable statement. An exception handler contains executable statements. The computer includes text entry and display means for programming of rules. A rule is displayed with each condition and each action having a row of text. The computer generates a yes/no quadrant into which a programmer may enter sequence numbers, to associate ordered sets of actions with individual conditions. Sequence numbers may be entered not associated with any condition, to define a set of default actions. Upon entering a rule, the computer sequentially evaluates the rule's conditions. Upon a condition evaluating to true, the computer executes the set of actions associated with that condition, then exits the rule. If the rule contains no conditions or none evaluates to true, the set of default actions will be executed, and the rule exited. If, during execution of the rule, the computer detects an exception event, such as a missing datum or other execution error, the computer passes to the rule the name of the detected exception event. If the rule contains an exception handler bearing the same name, the computer will execute the statements within that exception handler.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for performing mixing in thin liquid layers containing a suspension of a multiplicity of movable particles of magnetic material. The apparatus comprises at least two magnets or magnet systems, of which at least one is an electromagnet. The magnets or magnet systems are arranged in order to provide at least one slit for receiving at least one support means containing the thin liquid layer, wherein the magnetic particles are present.

Title: Doppler speed measurement amplitude breakdown error correcting circuit - uses opposed up-down counters triggered by null crossings
IPC: B61L25/02
Filed: 1969-07-31
Abstract: A circuit for reduction of measurement errors in a monitoring system and/or control system for movement and/or speed of rail and other traffic using Doppler measurement techniques is partic. suitable for shunting operations where automatic braking control is used. The circuit relates to errors resulting from short duration Doppler wave amplitude breakdowns lasting up to several Doppler periods. A signal is generated to indicate the occurrence of a break-down. Two 180 degree phase-shifted signals with the instantaneous Doppler frequency are connected to separate up-down counter control inputs. The counters are always couting in opposite directions and are reversed by a null crossing. Attainment of a certain number of counts causes the interrupt signal generation.

Title: Locking mechanism for sliding doors and windows - operates independently of actuating linkage by panel lifting and lowering movement
IPC: E05D15/56
Filed: 1970-07-04
Abstract: The locking mechanism for sliding panels of windows and doors operates in relation to the lifting movement of the panel, and is arranged independently of the position of the actuating hand lever or a corresponding actuating element. The mechanism is simplified since the locking element need not be fitted together with the actuating lever and the operating element. The mechanism (36 to 45) is brough into locking position by lowering the frame while bypassing the actuating lever system (24, 22). The locking arrangement is locked by the frame (11) when it is lowered into the locking position. The lock is released when the panel is lifted. The mechanism has an element (37) and on the fixed frame (10) on which it is able to rotate about a horizontal axis (36).

Title: Counter mechanism for telephone payment meters - latter driven electromagnetically with locking device associated with counter escapement pawl
IPC: G06M1/04
Filed: 1972-05-31
Abstract: The counter mechanism, principally for incorporation in telephone pre-payment meters, is designed to permit fast setting or re-setting of the dials with a minimum of noise and friction. The mechanism has a number dial which is the first of a series of such dials and is rotated by impulses which cause an escapement pawl to rock on its fixed axis. This pawl has an aperture into which four teeth project so as to effect the movement of a ratchet wheel which is coupled mechanically to the number dial. A locking pawl with a flanged extremity ensures by engaging in a projecting piece, that the movement of the escapement pawl on its axis is restricted.
