Title: Photoelectrophoretic imaging by electroluminescence
IPC: G03G15/01
Filed: 1970-12-21
Abstract: 1341690 Electroluminescence XEROX CORP 21 Dec 1970 [2 Jan 1970] 60548/70 Heading C4S [Also in Divisions G2-G3 and H1] An electroluminescent radiation source is used to effect imagewise exposure in a photoelectrophoretic imaging process. The source may be in the form of a roller or flat plate on which the photoelectrophoretic imaging suspension is coated. The source may be an electroluminescent panel which (a) has an array of electrodes which can be selectively energized, e.g. by computer read-out (Fig. 2, not shown), (b) has electrodes in a fixed shape (Fig. 4, not shown), (c) is uniformly activated, an original document being positioned between the panel and the imaging suspension (Fig. 6, not shown), (d) is adjacent a photoconductive layer which is imagewise exposed so that the panel is only energized in the exposed areas (Fig. 5, not shown) (e) is combined with a piezoelectric device (e.g. Pb zirconate-titanate) which modifies the electroluminescence in areas where pressure is applied (Fig. 8, not shown). Reference is also made to using electroluminescent phosphors which undergo a change of luminescence on application of an electric field (e.g. X-ray excited ZnCdS and Mn phosphors) or ultrasonic energy (e.g. Ba titanate). In an alternative construction a panel composed of crossed arrays of strip electrodes with phosphor between the intersections (Fig. 3, not shown) may be used to effect the exposure. For multicolour imaging the electroluminescent panel may consist of narrow strips of electroluminescent materials which emit light of at least 2 distinct colours, the strips being separated by light barriers and sandwiched between a transparent electrode and an electrode array (Fig. 5, not shown) or a photoconductive layer; the strips may be of ZnS doped with Se and energized at 50 Hz for red light, of ZnS doped with Cu and Pb energized at 50 or 500 Hz for green and blue light respectively, or of ZnS doped with S, Cu and Pb energized at 50 and 500 Hz for white light. Reference is also made to the use of DC, DC + AC, and infra-red responsive phosphors. Where used the adjacent photoconductive layer may consist of adjacent strips sensitive to different coloured light (e.g. CdTe, AlAs and ZnO for red, green and blue light respectively).

Title: Integrating antilog function generator
IPC: H03M1/58
Filed: 1970-12-22
Abstract: 1329837 Antilog generator CORNING GLASS WORKS 22 Dec 1970 [22 Dec 1969] 60789/70 Heading G4H An antilog function generator includes an A/D converter which comprises a means for generating a first time period proportional to the magnitude of an unknown potential, a means for applying the unknown potential to the input of the A/D converter, a means for generating a second time period equal to a fixed interval  minus the first time period, and a means for generating a voltage of the form where V 0  is a predetermined voltage, t is time, and RC is a time constant, the arrangement being such that the value of V at the end of the second time period is the antilog of the unknown potential. As described the generator consists of a conventional dual ramp A/D converter, an antilog voltage generator 74 and a timing device for controlling the operation of the generator. The timing device consists of a clock pulse generator 16, a counter 18 which emits a pulse on line 26 each time a predetermined count is reached, and a pair of cascade connected flipflops 28 and 50 acting as frequency dividers to produce control signals to enable appropriate gates and switches in the generator. In operation the dual ramp A/D converter is operated in the usual way, the final output of the comparator (threshold device) 42 being used to actuate the antilog voltage generator 74 instead of stopping the count in counter 18 in the usual way. Gate 48 is enabled by the output of the output of the comparator and capacitor 78, which is initially fully charged, is allowed to discharge until counter 18 becomes full and flip-flop 28 is switched, gate 48 then being blocked. The voltage on capacitor 78 now represents the antilog of the signal from source 12 (the Specification gives the theory in some detail) and is applied via switch 62 to the input of the A/D converter in place of the signal from source 12. The cycle is then repeated, the output of the comparator 42 causing the instantaneous content of counter 18 to be displayed to give a digital representation of the antilog of the signal from source 12.

Patent GB-610853-A (GB)
Abstract: 610,853. Electric totalizators. DEGEN, A. A. C. March 27, 1946, No. 9454. [Class 40 (i)] A totalizator system has a group of relays associated with each ticket issuing machine, and a number of such groups associated with each contact of a selector switch so that all the bets are registered in turn. The bets on the various machines associated with each selector contact are registered in turn by a relay chain extending through them. In the drawings, each group of issuing machines, as TM1, TM2, TM3 provide a circuit from earth 5 through contacts ha4 to a contact on switch bank 2CS. As long as the machines are unoperated this earth allows magnet CSDM to self-drive over the contact but the operation of any master key MCK energizes the associated relay HA to remove this earth and stop the switch. Relay XA in the associated .and preceding machines is now energized over switch 3CS and the depression of a runner key TK allows earth over 4CS to operate aggregator magnet UA. A contact ua1 now energizes RA, RB in series, RA locks over ra1, at the same time releasing HA, ha3 releases RB and ha5 energizes latching magnet SM to trip the machine. The momentary operation of rb2 releases the aggregator magnet UA. RA is finally released by the opening of MCK. The release of ha6 extends the earth on 3CS to the next operated machine in the group, the bet on which is then registered in the foregoing manner. When all the bets set up in the group have been registered, all relays HA will have been released and the circuit through 2CS is complete to allow the switch to step to its next contact. In order to prevent further bets being set up in a group of machines the bets on which are already being registered, a relay such as C associated with each group has contacts, e.g. c1, which make it impossible for additional relays HA to be operated if the selector is already on that contact.
