Filed: 1975-08-20
Abstract: 1478282 Karate game BRUNSWICK CORP 20 Aug 1975 [18 Sept 1974] 34621/75 Heading A6H An amusement device comprises a series of lights mounted behind a picture, means for detecting when the picture is hit in the vicinity of a light and means responsive to the detecting means for controlling which light is next to be illuminated. Two such pictures are mounted back-to-back. After a coin(s) has been inserted, a "Get Ready" light 28 is illuminated for five seconds and an appropriate sound is issued. Each competitor's score 30 is registered on the picture and the highest scorer is denoted by a winner's light 32.  The lights are illuminated in a particular sequence or at random. The picture is printed on the back of a pvc sheet backed with polystyrene foam. Each light is extinguished by a translucent button pressed in to operate a switch. The circuit illuminates another light if a particular bulb is defective. A coin acceptor measures the value of each coin and tests for counterfeits. If one coin is inserted, only one picture is activated and the player plays against a 30 or 60 second timing device according to the player's choice. If two coins are inserted, the resulting two input pulses cause both pictures to be activated for two competitors to play. If the game has not ended and the players are equal at the end of the allotted time, the circuit provides for extended time until another hit is registered.

Abstract: 988,707. Trimming material in bunkers; shoots. KLOCKNER-HUMBOLDT-DEUTZ A.G. Sept. 27, 1961 [Nov. 2, 1960], No. 34676/61. Headings B8E and B8S. Coal is carried by conveyer 1 and discharged therefrom down shoot 2 on to endless conveyer 3. Conveyer 3 is driven in direction A and is also given a bodily movement. Thus conveyer 3 from the position shown moves bodily to the right to discharge the coal into hoppers 4, 5, 6 and then 7. At this point the direction of driving of the conveyer belt is reversed and additionally the direction of the bodily movement is reversed so that conveyer 3 then moves bodily to the left and discharges into hoppers 11, 10, 9 and 8 consecutively. In this way, due to the inclined inwards positioning of the hoppers, the coal falls on to and down the gently sloping surfaces of the hoppers in turn and avoids attrition.

Abstract: 1,148,437. Automatic control of speed. BROWN BOVERI & CO. Ltd. Aug. 8, 1966 [Aug.10, 1965], No. 35420/66. Heading G3R. The speed of one or more drive motors 2 in web or filament machinery is controlled with respect to a master motor not shown by a digital control system superimposed upon an analogue system. Each motor drives an A. C. tachogenerator, and for the analogue system their rectified voltage outputs U o  , U 1  are compared in a servo amplifier 7 controlling the drive motor field. For digital control, pulses at the master frequency are applied to a fixed number counter 14 via an AND gate 13, the other input to which is connected to a flip-flop 22 triggered by pulses at the difference between master and drive frequencies. The output of the counter switches a second flip-flop 17 whose output thus comprises pulses of constant height and of a width corresponding to the speed of the master motor (derived from the fixed count) at a rate dependent upon the frequency difference and hence upon the speed error. These are converted to an analogue voltage, at 27, which is compared with the master voltage and the difference integrated at 28 and fed to the analogue system servo amplifier 7. The integration causes correction to be applied until the relative angular positions of the motors, as well as their speeds, are in agreement.
