Title: Apparatus for aligning hollow articles
IPC: H01J9/24
Filed: 1964-09-28
Abstract: An apparatus for laterally and rotationally positioning in respect to a reference point, the geometric centre of a hollow glass article, such as the cavity of a bilaterally symmetrical panel 22 (Fig. 2, not shown) having a depending skirt portion forming such cavity, comprises a plate 11 provided with three pairs of spaced-apart slideways 34, 35 (Fig. 1, not shown) aligned in an H configuration, the first and second pairs defining the upright and the third pair the cross-bar of the H, and the mid-point of the cross-bar defining the reference point, a panel-positioning device 36 being slidably and equally movable in each slideway alternatively to engage or dis-engage the sidewalls of said skirted portion, spring means 66-68 associated with each pair of slideways and coupled with the appropriate panel-positioning devices 36 and normally exerting a first force to maintain such devices 36 in equidistant panel non-engaging positions and having means for co-operatively actuating each of the spring means to exert a second force which slidably and equally moves the associated panel-positioning devices to a panel-engaging position.  Three vertical guide-shafts 43-45 are supported between the plate 11 and a base 8. Slidably mounted upon each shaft is an upper guide block 47, 51, 53 and a lower guide block 48, 52, 54.  The upper blocks 47 and 51 are connected to the block 53 to which also is connected a vertically movable lever 58 (Fig. 3, not shown).  Coil springs 66-68 are mounted on the shafts 43-45 between each upper and lower block.  Pivotally attached to each lower guide block 43-45 are two pairs of actuating arms 71 and 72, and 73 and 74, the other ends of said arms being attached to lugs 38, 39 disposed upon the bottoms of the correspondingly disposed devices 36. Therefore, when the lever 58 is moved downwardly the guide block 53, along with blocks 47, 51, moves upwardly.  This causes tension to be applied to the coil springs 66-68 which pull the lower guide blocks 48, 52, 54 up the shafts 43-45.  This movement of the lower blocks moves each set of actuating arms 71-74 into equally more spread-apart positions and consequently each associated pair of panel-positioning devices 36 is moved into contact with the skirted portion of the panel 22.  Conversely moving the lever 58 upwardly applies compression to the coil springs and therefore moves the devices 36 out of contact with the said skirt side walls.  A panel 22, such as a rectangular face panel of a television tube, is first seated upon carbon buttons 21 of four upstanding supports 17-20 mounted on the plate 11.  The lever 58 is then operated so as to position and align the panel in readiness for accurately sealing metal inserts into the skirt sidewalls of the panel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Telecommunications Exchange Systems
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1968-08-19
Abstract: 1,175,946. Automatic exchange systems. SIEMENS A.G. 19 Aug., 1968 [22 Aug., 1967], No. 39557/68. Heading H4K. Subscribers' lines are scanned for loop condition by an address register U which cycles over the lines to gate them to a supervisory bus YM over gates TS, the current loop condition together with a record of a preceding scan from synchronously driven " last-look " store L being sent with the address of the line being scanned to a processor V if a change of loop condition occurs and if the processor is available. If the processor V is not available, the last-look store L is not updated and a fresh application for the services of the processor is made at the next scan. A number of groups of subscribers TG1 to TGn have separate scanning arrangements and are gated to the common processor V by an address register CG. The address from CG on bus GLR and the address from U on bus UL gives a scanned line's identity to the processor. Gates G1 and G2 detect the start of an impulse and the end of an impulse, either event operating a gate T1 to a processor buffer store Z provided the processor is free. On transfer of the subscriber identity and the change of state signal to Z, gates G6 and G7, governing erase and write functions, update last-look store L. The subscriber's identity in Z is compared with identities of subscribers currently being processed and present in circulating store AS of the processor. The comparison is effected in Vgl and if a match occurs the data in Z is transferred to the processing equipment in the time slot so identified. If no match occurs the circumstances indicate a call origination and a free time slot is allocated the subscriber and his identity is placed accordingly in AS to route further transactions to the slot. The processor comprises a store Jp which records an impulse present mark, a counter ZU which requires a small initial count of impulse present condition before the impulse is judged present in face of contact bounce mutilating the signal, a counter ZL for measuring pulse length, a counter ZJ for accumulating the dialled impulses, and a counter H for signalling inter-digital pauses. Scanning for loop conditions may be effected simultaneously in more than one group with service from a single processor. More than one processor may be provided. Scanning may be halted temporarily if a processor is not free and a change of loop condition is found, scanning being resumed when a processor is free for service. The exchange provides T.D.M. connections over group highways MS gated to subscribers by stores U and gates ZS.

Title: Data character reading devices
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1975-09-29
Abstract: 1505880 Character reader FUJITSU Ltd 29 Sept 1975 [28 Sept 1974] 39844/75 Heading G4R  Characters are arranged in lines on a sheet and have, at the end of each line, a line mark forming a reference for that line; a rotatable drum carries the sheet and a read head capable of scanning a width of each line greater than the height of the characters is movable parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum (Fig. 2, not shown). Each line of characters extends around the drum and the read head is moved until a reference line is detected. The read head contains a plurality of photo sensors which are sampled in series and supply data to shift register 71 which holds data from one scan line. Three shift registers 71-73 are connected in series so that after three scans each register holds data from a respective scan line. If a line mark is scanned corresponding positions in each register feed a "1" to AND gate 74 which feeds a bi-stable 77. The length of the line mark is determined by counter 78 and bi-stable 77 determines whether the mark is continuous or not. The signal which causes sampling of the photo sensors in the read head is fed to a counter 51, 52. Decoders 53, 54 coupled to the counter are arranged to enable AND gate 55 at a count of 22 and AND gate 64 at a count of 64 so that AND gate 57 allows a line mark to be detected only when it is situated within a predetermined portion of the read head. When a line mark is detected gate 59 is inhibited to retain the count value. This value is transferred in complement form to a further counter (Fig. 6, not shown) so that the line mark is situated at a count value of 0 relative to the further counter. Decoders and gates supply signals from the 22 photo sensors on either side of the line mark to be fed to a recognition circuit.

Filed: 1961-11-14
Abstract: 950,992. Jointing by forging. JONES & BARCLAY Ltd. Nov. 13, 1962 [Nov. 14, 1961], No. 40614/61. Heading B3H. [Also in Division E2] A spring catch comprises a ball, roller or other catch member 12 having a forward convex portion which protrudes through a hole in a face plate 11, the hole being smaller than a rearward portion of the catch member which is urged into its protruding position by biasing means 13 contained in a housing 10, the housing having a part 14 adjacent the face plate which is secured in an associated recess 15 formed in the face plate, the latter being deformed to cause said part to be retained in assembled relation with the face plate. In the construction shown, the housing is cylindrical and the part 14 is a marginal portion which is outwardly flared although it could be at right angles if desired. The recess 15 is an annular groove and after the part 14 has been engaged with the groove 15, the external wall is rolled, spun or stamped into engagement with the part 14 to prevent separation of the housing and face plate by forming a further groove 17 coaxial with the groove 15 and of greater diameter. The inner wall of the groove 15 can be omitted if desired. Instead of forming a groove 17 additional material can be provided adjacent the external face of the groove 15 by locally increasing its thickness; the rolling, spinning or stamping operation moves this additional material into engagement with the part 14. Instead of the ball 12 which is shown, a bullet-shaped catch member can be substituted without further modification. Alternatively, a roller can be used in which case the hole in the face plate is made rectangular. The housing and recess can have a corresponding shape in which case if desired only two opposite faces of the recess need be moved into engagement with the housing part. Alternatively, the housing and recess can still be circular, but of greater diameter to completely accommodate the rectangular hole within their peripheries. In a further modification, the housing is of frusto-conical shape in which case the end of greater diameter constitutes the part engaged in the recess. In a still further modification, the housing can have a plurality of projections which are received in separate recesses; in this case the outer wall of each recess is deformed into engagement with its projection by centre punching. A rubber block can be substituted for the spring 13.
