Title: Device for locking and extracting a centrifugal casting shell
Inventor: BOUYT R J
IPC: B22D13/10
Filed: 1971-04-19
Abstract: 1313811 Extracting castings PONT-A-MOUSSON SA 19 April 1971 [4 Feb 1970] 20835/71 Heading B3F A device for extracting both the casting D and the shell la from the sleeve A of a centrifugal casting machine has tongs 4 connected to a carriage C, a head 5 secured to the shell la, and hooks 11 capable of acting on the flange 9 of the head 5 and pivoted at 12 to arms 10 attached to the carriage C. Locking fingers 8 extend through the sleeve A into a trapezoidal recess 7 in the head 5. A ring 16 having fingers 17 extending therethrough is mounted on arms 15 attached to the end of a cylinder device 3. After placing the shells la and 1b inside the sleeve A and locking them in position by means of the fingers 8 and head 5, the carriage C carrying the tongs 4, hooks 11 and ring 16 is moved away from the casting machine to allow the metal to be poured into the mould. After the casting operation is complete the carriage C is moved back towards the machine until abutments 18 at the ends of arms 10 contact the end of the sleeve A. The jaws 4 of the tongs are spread apart so as to engage the cast part D and the hooks 11 are tilted so that their ends 11b exert an extracting thrust on the flange 9 of head 5. This causes the fingers 8 to move out of the recess 7 and urges the flange 9 against the ring 16. The carriage is now moved away and this withdraws the cast part D and shell la from the sleeve A, the shell 1b remaining behind. The jaws 4 are then released and the casting D gripped by another pair of tongs (P) so as to extract it from the shell 1a, Figs. 4 and 5 (not shown). To reinsert the shell la into the sleeve, the carriage is moved up to the casting machine and the hooks 11 turned so that their ends 11a exert a thrust on the fingers 17. This pushes the head 5 into the sleeve A until the fingers 8 are again located in the recess 7.

Title: Data processing systems
IPC: G06F12/06
Filed: 1967-05-05
Abstract: 1,118,070. Modular stores; computers. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. 5 May, 1967 [21 June, 1966], No. 20900/67. Headings G4A and G4C. A data processing system obtains each bit of a word from a respective memory module, the word comprising data bits and error detection and correction bits, error in the word being corrected. A word consists of 32 data bits and 7 check bits according to a Hamming code, 6 of the latter allowing correction of any single bit error in the 39-bit word and the remaining check bit allowing detection of a double error. A system address register in the CPU (central processing unit) loads the same address into an address register in each of 39 modules, each of which comprises a 3-dimensional core array, to read out a correspondingly positioned 8-bit row of each into a corresponding data register from which the row can be rewritten. Three extra bits from the system address register are decoded to gate a correspondingly positioned bit from each of the 39 data registers in parallel through error detection and correction means to a (word) row (also selected by the three bits) in an 8-word buffer memory from which the CPU can be fed. Words can be transferred from the CPU to the buffer memory, with calculation of error bits en route, for writing into the memory modules. The three bits of the system address register can be incremented to select consecutive words in turn from the memory data registers. The buffer memory could be eliminated, or several provided, usable in turn. The words in the buffer memory could be sent simultaneously to respective CPU's. Error detection and correction as above could alternatively be done between buffer memory and CPU. Each module could be a single plane of cores. The invention allows the system to continue operation even during repair or replacement of a faulty module. The data in this module can then be regenerated utilizing the data and check bits from the other modules under control of a special programme.
