Title: Apparatus for Recording Co-related Light and Sound Variations.
Inventor: VANSIZE WILLIAM BALDWIN
IPC: G03B31/00
Filed: 1917-01-02
Abstract: 107,167. Vansize, W. B. Jan. 2, 1917. Multiple machines; magnetic machines. - In synchronously recording correlated light and sound variations, as in the joint production of moving-picture films and phonograph records, the sounds are transmitted to the recording apparatus by wireless telephony. Each performer 15, 16 carries transmitting apparatus shown in Fig. 2, comprising a three-electrode vacuum valve 26, a battery 35 serving to energize the hot element 27, a battery 33 in circuit with an inductance 31 connected to the electrodes 27, 28, and a battery 34 in circuit with an adjustable inductance 30 connected to the electrode 27 and the grid or equivalent electrode 29. The battery 33 is of high voltage and may consist of diminutive cells of Plante or Faure type. An antenna 18, in circuit with an inductance 32 and microphone 20, is earthed through contacts 23, 24 contacting with a conducting stage 17, earthed at 25. The antenna 40 of the receiving apparatus, preferably located from one-quarter to one-half of a wavelength from the transmitter, is in circuit with a condenser 41 and inductance 42, both adjustable. Inductance 42 serves as the primary of an oscillation transformer, the secondary 44 of which is in circuit with a battery 45 and connected to the hot electrode 56 and grid 53 of a vacuum valve. The element 56 is adjustably heated by a battery 46 shunted through a variable resistance 48. A battery 50 connected to electrodes 49, 56 is in circuit with an electro-magnet 11 which serves to record on a travelling tape or wire 10 of steel, driven at the same speed as the photographic film, or at any desired speed ratio. In reproducing the recorded sounds by the Poulsen telegraphone method, loud-speaking telephones are suspended from the ceiling in the auditorium. Amplifying valves are preferably employed, and three such valves may be connected in cascade in known manner.

Date Dec. 14, 1989.A method for determining the position of at least two seismic streamers (S1, S2) in a reflection seismic measuring system, wherein hydroacoustic distance measurements are used which are taken by means of acoustic transceivers provided in vessels (1), buoys (8), floats (5), seismic sources (2) and in the seismic streamers (S1, S2). Absolute reference positions are determined by position determining equipment provided in at least two locations, for instance, on a vessel (1) or a float (5). The acoustic transceivers and the position determining equipment form a three-dimensional structure. The position determination takes place by trilateration between the acoustic transceivers and the determination of at least two reference positions so that there is no dependency on compass bearings or optical visibility, and high redundancy is obtained. The method is particularly suited for application in connection with three-dimensional marine seismic surveys. The method may be integrated with suitable surface navigation systems in order to find the reference positions and provide absolute positions at any point within a marginal error of 5 to 10 m.

Title: Apparatus for tilting a vehicle when travelling around a bend
IPC: B60G21/055
Filed: 1962-01-05
Abstract: 927,745. Preventing lateral canting. DAIMLER-BENZ AG. Jan. 5, 1962 [Jan 5, 1961], No. 505/62. Class 108(2). Apparatus, Fig. 1, which tilts a vehicle body, when cornering, in the opposite direction to the centrifugal force imparts a tilt in dependence on the initial steering deflection on entering the corner which tilt is then neutralised while the centrifugal force obtaining takes over control and determines the degree of tilt until the steering deflection is cancelled. In operation, for example when the steering wheel, Fig 1, is rotated counter-clockwise linkage 26-28 moves a piston 30 to the left in cylinder 29 displacing fluid in cylinder 40 and the connecting pipes so that piston 39 moves to the right rotating lever 44 clockwise about pivot 45 and hence displacing pistons 13, 14 so that pressure fluid from pump 11 may pass through port 47<SP>1</SP> in cylinder 12 and pipe 47 to device 15 and rotate the vane 21 relative to the body 20, displaced fluid from the device passing through pipe 48 and port 48<SP>1</SP> to the pump reservoir. Torsion bars 22, 23 recured respectively to body 20 and vane 21 are thus rotated in opposite directions and through their bent ends 22<SP>1</SP>, 23<SP>1</SP> connected to suspension members 16, 17 tilt the body 18 to the left. Piston 39 is centralised in cylinder 40 by springs 38, 41, fluid in cylinder 40 passing through bleed hole 42 in the piston thus neutralising the tilt due to the steering deflection. Meanwhile pendulum bob 51 moves to the right due to the cornering, rotating lever 44 about pivot 53 and thus maintaining pistons 13, 14 deflected to the right. Member 19, connected to suspension members 16, 17 by springs 49, 50 to isolate it from road shocks prevents tilting of the body beyond the desired angle by moving cylinder 12 to the right so that ports 47<SP>1</SP>, 48<SP>1</SP> are closed by the pistons 13, 14. When the steering wheel is centralised the pistons 13, 14 are moved to the left and pressure fluid passes through pipe 48 to untilt the body. In a modification cylinder 12 is controlled by a Bowden cable from device 15. The linkage 26-28 may include a dog clutch 33, Fig. 2, connected to a governor 35 so that the apparatus only functions above a certain road speed of the vehicle. The centring springs in cylinder 29 ensure that the dog clutch only engages in the central steering wheel position.

Abstract: 193,223. Shanks, C. F. Jan. 7, 1922. Planing; shaping; slotting.-Feed mechanism for reciprocating metal - cutting machine - tools comprises a shaft 4 rotated alternately in opposite directions from a shaft 1 and actuating the feedoperating shaft 8 through clutch elements 5, 9, respectively, mounted on oppositely handed helical keys 6, 10. The shafts 4 and 8 are separated by a spacing washer 7. The member 5 is integral with a pinion 12 driving a wheel 13 bearing on a stationary friction ring 15 and adapted to drive through a second friction ring 16 a pinion 17 engaging a rack bar 18. A roller 20 carried by a lever 21 normally runs on the rack bar to keep the clutch-member 9 in operative position, but is adapted at a point, predetermined by the adjustment of an abutment 23, to drop into a notch 19, Fig. 2, to withdraw the member 9. In operation, when the shaft 4 rotates in one direction the clutch-member 5 first moves axially while being held against rotation by the friction ring 15 until the clutchmembers are engaged, whereupon the wheel 13 is driven to move the rack-bar 18 until the roller drops into its notch to withdraw the clutchmember 9 and stop the feed. Slip then. takes place between the wheel 13 and ring 16. On reversal of the shaft 4 the clutch-member 5 is first withdrawn axially and then drives through the wheel 13 to move the rack-bar back to its initial position ready for a fresh cycle of operations.

Abstract: 1458062 Transversal equalizers INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 21 Jan 1974 [31 Jan 1973] 00606/74 Heading H4R An equalizer for PSK signals representing digital data by different ones of a set of permitted phase shifts is adjusted 5 in response to comparison 6 of the equalizer output x 1  with a reference signal r selected 28 from a set of signals 20 generated 19 from the extracted carrier frequency 18, the signals 20 exhibiting all the permitted phase shifts and defining the centres of phase sectors on a vector diagram, the selection being such as to provide as reference r that signal 20 which lies in the same sector as the received signal. As shown the equalizer has quadrature-related transversal filters 1, 2 whose taps 5, 15 are adjusted by signals C derived from integrators 8 supplied with the product from each filter of the tap output and the difference between the quadrature outputs x 1 , # 1  and quadrature references r, r to reduce to zero the mean squared error associated with the product. A phase-locked oscillator 19 generates all the permitted phase shifts in quadrature 20, 21 and the extracted carrier frequency is also fed in quadrature 27, 22 to the selector 28. The selector is a logic circuit (Fig. 4A, not shown) which forms crossproducts of the quadrature filter outputs x 1 , # 1  and the quadrature carriers 27, 22 to determine in which sector the received carrier lies and to enable an AND gate 24, 23 to pass the corresponding reference signals r, # to the comparators 6, 16. In a simplification (Fig. 3, not shown) the quadrature transversal filter 2 is not used and the output x 1  from filter 1 is fed in parallel through a delay (37) and a 90 degree phase shifter (35) to the selector 28 which operates as before.
