Abstract: 1,033,046. Reactors. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. Aug. 21, 1964 [Aug. 30, 1963; Sept. 30, 1963], No. 34317/64. Heading G6C. A nuclear reactor and its associated access plug for control rods &c. are supported from a common base to reduce relative movement in the event of earthquake shocks and the like; a base rests on a foundation and a support suspended from the base carries the reactor vessel, the base also including a bearing surface for supporting the access plug. A fast fission reactor 1 having a core la is mounted on a base plate 13 supported by a shell 8 of frusto-conical, pyramidical or part spherical form. The shell is suspended by tie rods 6 from the base 4 resting on a vibration-absorbing layer 20, e.g. of rubber, through the intermediary of tie rod heads 7. The access and control rod carrying plug 2 is supported by jacks 19 on the base 4, via uprights 17 and ring 18. Electric motors 16 driving pinions 15 rotatably engage the tie heads, which include screw and nut arrangements. Thus, a central control can be provided for energizing the motors to vary the effective tie rod lengths to maintain the horizontality of the base plate 13. The tie rods may be hollow metal rods having graphite cores, and they may be self-compensating for thermal expansion. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown), the shell 8 is inverted, the reactor being mounted on the small upper end, while the tie rods extend to the lowest plane of the shell. A thermally self-compensating tie rod is used, and the part of the tie rod not coextensive with the shell is thermally insulated from its zone.

Title: Improvements in or relating to integrated circuit devices
Inventor: STYAN PETER ORMONDE
IPC: H01L27/00
Filed: 1968-07-19
Abstract: 1,268,905. Semi-conductor circuits. PLESSEY CO. Ltd. 16 July, 1969 [19 July, 1968], No. 34532/68. Heading H3T. [Also in Divisions G1 and H1] An integrated circuit photo-diode array for character recognition purposes comprises a plurality of circuit elements n, n-1, Fig. 3, having a photo-diode D with an inherent capacitance C D  which is charged through metaloxide silicon transistor M1 by a sampling pulse Pn on line 21. During the subsequent scan period light incident on the diode causes it to discharge its capacitance at a rate determined by the instantaneous illumination. Since the gate of M2 is connected to the diode, the output current of M2 which flows in response to a sampling pulse on M3 is a function of the integrated light flux during the preceding scan period. The sampling pulses are obtained from a shift register, on the same substrate, Fig. 4, having two sets of clock pulses of 0 to - 30 v. in anti-phase. A circuit shown in Fig. 7 compensates for thermal effects on the substrate of the photo-diode array and shift register by monitoring the temperature of the substrate by M10 formed on the substrate and suitably adjusting the supply potential to the photodiode circuits.

Title: Fluid control valve
Inventor: LIGH JONE YEN
IPC: F16K31/365
Filed: 1969-07-10
Abstract: 1,263,177. Valves. ANDERSON, GREENWOOD & CO. 10 July, 1969, No. 34894/69. Heading F2V. Valve comprises a valve member 36 cooperating with a seat 22 between inlet 16 and outlet 18 of body 10 to which is secured a bonnet 12. An actuating diaphragm 32 fixed to the valve member and body is subject to fluid pressure on opposite sides. A supporting surface 56 fully supports the diaphragm when the valve is in full open position. As shown, the diaphragm is formed with a shallow annular convolution and is fully supported also in the closed position by a profiled ring 52. A variable control pressure in a chamber 24 can be set up through a connection 48. The valve member is bored to correspond approximately to the seat opening and slides on a fixed piston 26, the bore being sealed by an 0-ring 40. The valve member has a cylindrical closure part 44 which co-operates with a profiled flow graduating ring 60 securing the seat 22. The seat may comprise a metal ring 58 to which is bonded a resilient channel-shaped ring 66. The end face of the part 44 seats both on the resilient ring and the metal ring. In a modification, the channel ring is replaced by two 0-rings (98, 100), Fig. 7 (not shown), of which one seals the graduating ring to the body whilst the other (100) seals with the end of the valve member. The metal ring (94) may float slightly to equalize the pressure across the ring (100) to keep it in place. In another modification the metal ring is clamped by a flange (88) thereof and pressure across the 0-ring is equalized by holes (86) through the metal ring. The valve member has a slight clearance in the chamber 24 to provide a dashpot effect.

Title: Data processing apparatus
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1966-08-04
Abstract: 1,097,909. Digital computers; fault location arrangements. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Aug. 4, 1966 [Aug. 23, 1965], No. 34897/66. Heading G4A. In order that words having bad parity for use in fault location test programmes may be loaded into a main store (MS)4 of a computer central processing unit (CPU)2 (Fig. 1) through a channel 51 associated with parity check circuits 12 the words are loaded as separate word pairs of good parity and are combined into the required words using OR-gates 7 or other equivalent word mixing arrangements. The channel 51 is provided in addition to the normal input/output channels 11 so as to facilitate easy manual testing thereof. After such testing pairs of words are successively made available at source 1 for transfer into store MS at addresses set manually or otherwise (by means not shown) for transfer into storage address register (SAR)20. The store MS, which is preferably a magnetic core store, has a cycle which is divided into four phases R 1 , R 2 , W 1  and W 2 . During phase R 1  after the first word of a pair is made available the required address is transferred into SAR. In phase R 2  the incoming word on channel 51 is gated to buffer or storage data register (SDR)8, while the sense amplifier outputs 9 of MS are blocked. In phase W 1  the word is transferred to the address specified in SAR. In phase W 2  a signal is issued indicating that the C.P.U. storage system is ready to accept the second word of the pair, and the register S.D.R. is zeroized. When the next word becomes available, a hybrid STOREFETCH cycle is initiated. During this cycle, in phase R 1 , the previously selected address is transferred into SAR again. In phase R 2 , not only is the new incoming word in channel 51 gated to buffer SDR but also the digits of the previously stored word, by way of channel 9, Consequently, the two words are combined in OR-gates 7 to form a third word, which may or may not have good parity, as requried. W 1  and W 2  phases proceed as before. The address transferred into SAR is incremented by a signal on lines 69 before the next word pair is loaded. It is not essential that associated word pairs should follow in succession although this is the preferred arrangement. Circuits 3 for controlling the above operations (and which are separate from the normal C.P.U. controls) are illustrated in more detail in Fig. 4. In modified arrangements, the mixing of successive word pairs may be achieved by selectively inhibiting the resetting of SDR register after each first word or by selectively preventing the read drive excitation from reading the store cores MS while the second words are received. The computer operates with 36 bit words divided into four bytes of 7 data bits plus one parity bit each.
