Abstract: 950,931. Digital computers. TELEFUNKEN PATENTVERWERTUNGSGESELLSCHAFT m.b.H. Jan. 11, 1963 [Jan. 23, 1962], No. 1356/63. Heading G4A. A serial computer for processing words comprising n characters has a store consisting of n parts each storing one character of any word in the store, each part having a separate address register, the n address registers being connected in a chain along which each address word is propagated. Computer operations can therefore be performed in overlapped manner, thus reducing calculation time. The computer described is for 5-character words and comprises an arithimetic unit 1, a control unit 2, a store comprising five parts 4-8 having respective address registers 10-14, and input-output units such as a magnetic tape 3. For an operation requiring two operands and two clock pulse times for each step of the operation, the address of the first operand is transmitted to the address register 10 at time t1 to read out the first character of the first operand to a channel k1. At time t2 the second character of the first operand is read out to channel k1 and the first character of the second operand from the store part 4 to channel k2, the first character of the first operand passing to an auxiliary register 19. The two first characters and now combined in the arithmetic unit 1 and at time t4 the first result character is fed via channel k4 to the store part 4. At the intermediate time t3 the address of a new instruction can be fed to the register 10, the first character of the new instruction being read out at time t3 from the store part 4 via channel k3 to the control unit 2. At time t5 the inputoutput tape 3 is connected to the store part 4 via channel k5. Circuit details. The "channels" k1-k5 comprise flip-flop or magnetic core registers. The store parts 4-8 are preferably formed of magnetic cores,but may use magnetic drums. The arrangement for producing the time pulses t1.t2 &c. may comprise a ring counter. By using an appropriate priority control, a large number of input-output devices may be connected to a small number of channels.

Title: Internal combustion unit for use as a propeller or tractor
IPC: F02K7/08
Filed: 1921-01-10
Abstract: 157,781. Guaita, A. Nov. 27, 1920, [Convention date]. Propelling by air and water jets.-Explosive jet apparatus for propelling in air or water comprises a chamber a<2> in which charges of compressed air and gas are ignited, the products of combustion escaping through a nozzle a<6> and being deflected backwards by a deflector b. The compressed air is introduced by a passage a to a jacket a<1>, from which it passes to the chamber through ports a<3>, and the fuel enters through an atomizer a<4>. Combustion is started by using a fuel of low flash-point and electric ignition, but when the chamber becomes sufficiently heated the combustion becomes spontaneous, and any ordinary fuel is used. A series of deflectors b may be arranged one behind the other. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the nozzle a<6> is fitted with injector vanes c surrounded by a bell-mouth d, through which the surrounding air, water, or other fluid is aspirated. A rotary or sliding slotted member c<2> serves to regulate the inflow through the vanes c. In another form, the outflow from the nozzle a<6> is split up into a number of radial jets by partitions on the deflectors b, and the surrounding fluid is aspirated through the spaces between the radial jets by vanes z, Fig. 6, and a surrounding casing h. These vanes z may be used alone, or in conjunction with the injector c as shown. The compressed air may be supplied to the combustion chamber by means of compressors operated by air-driven propellers, a tank supplied by a small motor-driven compressor being used for starting. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes also the following modifications. In one form, the blades c are arranged between the end of the easing h and the deflector b so that the aspirated fluid passes inwards through the vanes and then into the casing h. Fig. 12 (Cancelled) shows a high-power apparatus, in which the outflow from the nozzle 2 is deflected and split up by vanes 17, 9, 12 into series of radial jets which pass outwards to annular vanes 3, and 4-5 of decreasing internal diameter and are thereby deflected rearwards, induced fluid entering through the open end 18, 19 of the casing. In a modification of the form shown in Fig. 12 (Cancelled), the casing is arranged beyond the vanes 4-5 so that the external fluid is aspirated inwards through these vanes and, mingling with the jets from the nozzle 2, passes through the casing. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to telephone systems
IPC: H04M5/08
Filed: 1930-01-17
Abstract: 346,790. Manual exchange systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., SKILLMAN, T. S., and FREETH, L. G., Columbia House, Aldwych, London. Jan. 17, 1930, No. 1784. [Class 40 (iv).] A call indicator is controlled over a two-way international junction by voice-frequency currents, a single impulse comprising one or more of four frequencies being used for each digit. Prior to sending a number, the operator momentarily operates PK to send a comparatively long ZY impulse timed by DC and so release EA at the incoming end. This may cause a call indicator to associate itself with the junction, but in the system shown in which there is only one junction to a call indicator, energizes EB, releases any operated storage relays, homes DS if necessary and holds its magnet SH energized in normal position so that at the end of the impulse it connects up the first storage group. The digit keys send short impulses timed by DE, DD. EC which is operated by any received signal, energizes or holds EB, and energizes SM to cause DS to move on after each impulse. EB energizes DD, Fig. 1, to prevent interference by keying by the incoming operator. She can break in however by transmitting ringing current to AF which energizes V, R to send an XZ pulse, releasing N at the outgoing end and so causing ringing current to be connected to the cord to operate a calling lamp. As shown the keyset is connected to the cord by the ringing key but it may be connected by the talking key. The function performed by PK may be taken by a special preparing button associated with the keystrip. A further button may be provided for sending a special signal to indicate an intention to send a succession of calls (the normal arrangement being that each call is followed by one in the opposite direction), by releasing a relay like EA.
