Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for intelligence transfer
Inventor: BREWSTER ARTHUR EDWARD
IPC: G11C21/00
Filed: 1960-12-21
Abstract: 926,706. Electrical digital-data-storage apparatus. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Sept. 29, 1961 [Dec. 21, 1930], No. 43848/60. Class 106 (1). Apparatus for intelligence transfer includes a transfer wave source arranged to feed an electromagnetic wave transmission line to which a series of storage elements (or a single distributed storage element with locally settable regions) are successively connected, with a transfer wave which is propagated along the line to set up transfer inputs at each element in turn, whereby information represented by the electrical state of the element, is passed along the series of storage elements in phase with the transfer wave. Each storage element 10, 11, 12, consists of two tunnel diodes 10a, 10b, &c., connected in series across a transmission line formed by opposed conductors 15, 16, the central connections between the diodes being attached to a transmission line 17 provided with an input 18 and output 19. The two transmission lines are terminated by load resistances 20, 21 having values equal to the characteristic impedance of the associated line. A periodic unidirectional waveform (whose instantaneous voltage distribution along the transmission line in relation to the elements 10, 11, &c. is shown at 23) is provided by a generator 22 connected to the conductors 15, 16. As the voltage difference across the element 10 increases to say, that at the position 27 of waveform 23, one of the diodes 10a, 10b adopts a high impedance condition and the other a low impedance condition. A small positive current applied along the line 17 ensures that diode 10b switches to the high impedance condition first, whilst a negative current causes diode 10a to do so. Once switched the element holds its condition (representing information) until the transfer voltage drops below a critical value, say that corresponding to position 28 of waveform 23. By ensuring that, by this time, the transfer voltage across the next element has increased to its triggering value, information is passed from one element to the next in phase with the transfer wave. In a modification, Fig. 3, a single distributed storage element is employed. Three spaced strip conductors 30, 31, 32 are separated by continuous ribbons of semi-conductive material 33 having tunnel junctions 34, 35 formed therein. Information is entered by means of input 36 and the transfer wave is applied at input 37. The devices may be used as a delay line or a continuously circulating store, in which ease output 19 is connected back to input 18.

Filed: 1974-10-16
Abstract: 1474468 Bar-stock feeding mechanism P SCHEURER 16 Oct 1974 [16 Oct 1973] 44820/74 Heading B3B In a machine tool such as a bar-stock lathe, means is provided to feed the bars in sequence to the headstock of the lathe from a rotatable magazine drum 6 having a plurality of guide tubes 7 each carrying a bar 8 and means for pushing the bar through the headstock spindle, the tubes being sequentially connected to an hydraulic connecting device for actuating the pushing means. In the apparatus described the magazine drum 6 is indexed around to bring guide tubes 7 in succession into alignment with the lathe spindle axis whereat the tube is engaged at its end farthest from the headstock 2 by a fluid pressure coupling device 18 which permits the supply oil under pressure to the tube 7 from a reversible pump 28. The bar pusher means is formed by pusher member 15 which engages the end of the bar and which is connected by a push rod 12 to a piston member 10, the piston being provided with sufficient clearance in the tube to permit oil by pass the piston and effect lubrication and damping of vibration of the bar-stock as it rotates during a machining operation. In operation, the oil pressure maintains a force on the piston and hence the bar-stock to effect the feeding of the bar between the various operations performed by the machine, when the bar is used up the motor 28 is reversed so as to cause a reduction in pressure on one side of the piston so that the piston push-rod and pusher 10, 12, and 15 respectively are withdrawn. This action is established by the maintenance of oil on both sides of the piston whereby the suction is maintained. The piston 10 is further constructed to control the forces thereon by controlling the flow of oil through passages 42, 39, 43 therein by the inclusion of an adjustable needle valve 45 and a co-operating ball 50 the latter blocking off the flow passage 39 during the reverse flow for retracting the pusher. The control of the feed and return strokes is aided by a sensor 32 which determines when the pistons has passed during the feed movement and initiates the reversal of the pump to effect the retraction of the pusher.
