IPC: G01G21/24
Filed: 1982-03-06
Abstract: Weighing apparatus 1 has an L- shaped load bearing member 2 movably mounted by a flexure means guidance system 3 to a base 4. A weigh-head 5 has a load-cell coupled to a digital readout and the load-cell is connected to the member 2 by a pull rod 6. System 3 comprises three flexure plates 7 bolted to the member 2 and base 4; plate 7a is arranged upwardly of the other two plates 7 and each plate is arranged at the vertex of an isosceles triangle in front elevation. A1, A2, B and C are flexure areas and when a load is placed on platform 2a of member 2 the flexure plates 7 distort to the position shown in dashed lines as the member moves generally vertically downwardly (along plane V1 which is parallel to plane V2) pulling on rod 6 and indicating a digital weight reading. The member 2 is returned to its pre-load position on removal of the load. <IMAGE>

Title: Telephone answering machine
IPC: H04M1/65
Filed: 1982-03-18
Abstract: A telephone answering machine has a single loop tape upon which is pre-recorded an audio message overlying a 7 KHz tone. The 7 KHz tone is provided on substantially the whole length of the loop tape except for a gap of at least 100 ms which represents the distance between the erased head and the record playback head of the answering machine. The gap in the 7 KHz tone is utilised to start and stop the loop tape and when the loop tape is stopped, the gap in the 7 KHz tone is used to start up a remote tape recording apparatus, upon which a caller's message is stored.

Patent GB-2116359-A (GB)
Title: Streak tubes
Inventor: EDWARDS JULIAN GRAHAM
IPC: H01J31/50
Filed: 1983-02-28
Abstract: In a streak tube having a radiation input window 18, a photocathode 20, an accelerating mesh electrode 22, focus electrodes 34, 36, electron deflection plates 26, 28 and a sensitive receiving element, e.g. phosphor screen 38, the mesh electrode 22 (Fig. 3) has a regular array of apertures or slots 30 which are substantially longer in the direction of separation of the deflection plates 26, 28 than they are wide. Preferably there is a simple row of apertures of slots each having a length/width ratio of from 2 to 1 to 50 to 1. The arrangement provides improved focusing and this can also be assisted by making the photocathode concave towards the sensitive receiving element of the tube; and additionally or alternatively by making the transparent substrate of the photocathode, and/or the input window to the tube, positive lens shaped. The shaping of cathode or input window tends to equalise the time of transit of electrons from all parts of the photo cathode to the deflection plates. Advantageously the deflection plates may be arranged as part of a transmission line. Also the sensitive receiving element may be a structurally combined camera tube. <IMAGE>

Title: Spool brake mechanism
Inventor: BUUTS PETRUS JACOBUS
IPC: B65H23/08
Filed: 1983-07-07
Abstract: A brake mechanism for a wire or tape spool (102) has a brake lever (41) which is pressed against the spool by an actuating lever (42) biased by a tension spring (43). The lever (42) is connected to a wire take-up arrangement (28) so that take-up of the wire causes rotation of the lever (42) against spring (43) thus releasing the brake. The wire is now unwound from the spool by the lever (42) being returned by the spring (43) which in turn causes reapplication of the brake lever 41. The brake mechanism may be used in a wire stitcher for binding sets of sheets. <IMAGE>

Title: Accurately positioning hole punching station over intermittently forwarded web
Inventor: LANCEFIELD TIMOTHY MARK
IPC: B26F1/02
Filed: 1984-02-02
Abstract: A web (1) is intermittently fed through a hole-punching station and, whilst the web is stationary, the relative position between a registration mark on the web and the punching station is measured, eg by photodiodes. The punching station is then moved longitudinally, transversely and/or rotationally relative to the stationary web, eg by stepping motors (73, 80, 82) to accurately position it prior to punching apertures in the web. The position of the registration mark may be measured several times prior to punching a hole in the web, eg comprising dry transfer printing characters. An audible and/or visual warning may be given if the punching station is not accurately positioned. <IMAGE>

Title: Cash flow monitoring system
Inventor: CLEMENTS KENNETH L
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 1982-09-27
Abstract: A computerized monitoring system which incorporates the power lines (60) that provide electrical power to the remote devices (12) as the physical communications medium of a serial data bus for the computer system. The system comprises a central computer (10) and a plurality of computerized sensor modules (80) within the individual remote devices. The central computer and each of the sensor modules (80) has associated with it a respective data link (70, 87) for coupling respective signal generating and receiving means (65, 67, 82, 85) to the power distribution lines (60) and for manipulating the signals to and from a form suitable for transmission on the power distribution lines. Phase shift keying is used wherein binary bits of data are represented as 180<o> phase shifts of the pulses in a carrier pulse train. A data transmission rate of approximately 15,000 baud with a carrier frequency of 120 KHz is typical. A polling signal includes a preamble of pure carrier frequency, followed by the serial number of the device being polled, by the data (or instructions) defining the message content. Each data link has its own clock for generating a pulse train at a frequency very close to the common carrier frequency, and includes means for bringing its own carrier frequency pulse train approximately into a predetermined phase relationship with the carrier train that is appearing on the power lines.

Title: Protection circuit for integrated circuit devices
Inventor: AVERY LESLIE RONALD
IPC: H03K17/0814
Filed: 1984-05-31
Abstract: A protection circuit which may be used in a television receiver to protect an integrated circuit from damage due to high-voltage transients comprises two transistors (Q1, Q2), connected to form a silicon controlled rectifier, and an associated resistive element (R) which may be a linear resistor (120) or a non-linear resistive element in the form of a diode-connected transistor. The circuit formed is a two-terminal (28,30), high-current protection circuit which is rendered conductive when the potential difference across the two terminals (28,30) is greater than one forward-biased PN junction voltage drop. One terminal (28) of the protection circuit is connected to an input or output terminal of the protected circuit, and the other terminal (30) is connected to the most positive power supply potential (V+). Transient voltages appearing at the integrated circuit terminal (28) greater than one PN junction voltage drop above the positive power supply potential (V+) cause the protection circuit to conduct. <IMAGE>

Title: Data processor
Inventor: KAWASAKI SHUMPEI
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1985-02-21
Abstract: A data processor has a plurality of registers (RG1, RG2 - - - RGn), a reference register 2 and a memory (8). In data processing, only those registers which are in use having tag bits entered on the reference register (2). In transferring the data of the plurality of registers (RG1, RG2 - - - RGn) to the memory (8), only the data of the registers with tag bits entered in the reference register (2) are transferred to the memory (8). In order to permit the data to be transferred from the memory (8) back to the respective registers, the data of the reference register (2) is also written into the memory (8). Since this arrangement is adapted to transfer only the data of those registers which have been in use, it permits a high-speed processing operation. <IMAGE>
