Abstract: 1,212,230. Automatic traffic control signals. LABORATORY FOR ELECTRONICS Inc. 13 May, 1968 [2 June, 1967], No. 22563/68. Heading G4Q. In a traffic-actuated multiphase intersection right-of-way control system, during the time right-of-way is assigned to one traffic phase, right of way can also be assigned to any one of the non-conflicting phases at the intersection. Further, the right-of-way can be changed from one .of the non-conflicting traffic phases to another non-conflicting phase, while retaining the right-of-way on the second non-conflicting phase, as traffic demands require and in the absence of a call from a conflicting phase. The system is described with vehicles driving on the right-hand side of the road, Fig. 1, at a crossing with four through " phases " Al ... A4, and four left-hand turn phases B1. . . B4, with vehicle detectors such as DA1 and pedestrian call buttons such as PA1. The detector may be of any kind, e.g. sonic, radar, magnetic loop, or treadle, and the system employs solid state logic circuits with "memory" flip-flops and R.C. timing circuits. Vehicle and pedestrian signals for each phase are activated by separate control units connected to the vehicle detectors and arranged in two groups each containing mutually conflicting phases (i.e. the odd and even groups), Fig. 2. Each control unit supplies demand signals to a phase-sequence-unit which determines which control unit shall provide right-ofway signals and which phase shall follow, and allows any non-conflicting phase to have rightof-way at the same time. The two groups of control-units are further controlled by interval-sequence-units each including a nine-step counter, Fig. 3 (not shown), to determine the signalling sequence for any selected control unit in accordance with duration signals corresponding to traffic demand developed in the control unit. In the absence of a call from a conflicting phase the counter rests at step 5 (vehicle green). . The detailed circuits of these units are described with reference to Figs. 3 ... 10 (not shown), and typical examples of the operation under various combinations of demand signals are given in the latter part of the Specification. The system may be adapted to operate in a semi-traffic-actuated mode by closing switches (320), (322) in one phase-control-unit, Fig. 4 (not shown), when the right-of-way returns to that phase, until called by a conflicting phase.

Abstract: 638,137. Frequency modulation. BOONTON RADIO CORPORATION. Aug. 1, 1946, No. 22969. Convention date, Jan. 22. [Class 40 (v)] In a frequency or phase modulating system comprising a variable reactor valve 4 and an R.F. circuit including a fixed inductance 1<1> and a variable capacity 2<1>, a phase shifting circuit 15 is provided, the characteristic of which is such that its output is proportional to the inverse square of the frequency to which the R.F. circuit is tuned. This arrangement provides constant frequency deviation irrespective of the tuning of the R.F. circuit. As shown in Fig. 3, the phase shifting circuit comprises a resistance 19 in series with a series tuned circuit 20, 21. The required transmission/R.F. characteristic is obtained by tuning the circuit 20, 21 to the resonant frequency Fr, Fig. 4, and operating the oscillator supplying the tuned R.F. circuit between the limits F1 or F2, modulation being applied to the grid of tube 4 at the low side of a grid resistor 16. In a modification (Fig. 5, not shown), a bridged-T network of resistances and capacities is employed which has a series resonance characteristic similar to curve II of Fig. 4. Specifications 513,449 and 554,887 are referred to. In the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 a capacitive type of reaction tube is employed indicated at T, Fig. 2 (Cancelled). A limiter 6 is interposed between a phase shifter 5 and the control grid of tube 4 to produce a constant transmission/R.F. characteristic of the phase shifter over the tuning range of the oscillation circuit. The phase shifter' may comprise a condenser and resistance in series and the limiter a double triode, the grid of one triode section being fed from the junction of the resistance and condenser and the grid of the other triode section being fed by a source of modulation (Fig. 3 (Cancelled), not shown). In a further modification the required transmission/R.F. characteristic may be obtained by connecting an A.V.C. system comprising an amplifier and rectifier between the phase shifter and the reactance tube and applying the output of the A.V.C. rectifier as a control voltage to the grid of the amplifier (Fig. 4 (Cancelled), not shown). This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to vertical extrusion machines
Inventor: BENNET EDGAR GARFORD
IPC: B28B21/52
Filed: 1947-08-22
Abstract: 653,392. Vertical extrusion machines. BENNETT, Ltd., G. Aug. 22, 1947, No. 23260. [Class 87 (ii)] A vertical extrusion machine has its extrusion mechanism, and a vertically slidable work-table 10, Fig. 2, on to which the article is extruded, operated by the movement of mechanical control means 100 initiated by an electrical control and timing system, whereby it can be ensured that the several operations are performed in the correct sequence and at the appropriate time intervals. Pipes, conduits, bends, hollow blocks &c. are extruded from plastic material such as clay on to the vertically sliding table 10, mounted on columns 11 down which the table is forced by the pressure of the material being extruded from die 12, its return being made under the action of counterweights 13. The upward movement of the table towards the die operates a limit switch 14 which initiates an electrical adjustable delay timing device (not shown) which gives the required delay to form the socket of the article. The switch 14 also energizes an electrical contactor and a solenoid to engage a dog clutch driving a cam drum 22 having grooves, Fig. 7. The contactor breaks the solenoid circuit before the dog clutch has made one revolution, irrespective of the time during which the limit switch 14 is made. The first movement or step of the drum, by means of a roller working in a cam-groove 24, actuates a system of levers 32, which moves control wires 34 to lock the table. The first movement of the drum 22 also starts the extrusion of the material by operating a clutch controlling the extrusion worm. After extrusion and electrically timed delay the solenoid is again energized and the second movement of the cam drum takes place to release the table so that it descends, thereby releasing switch 14 and de-energizing the timer. A further limit switch 51, Fig. 2, which governs the length of the article, is operated by the descent of the table, another contactor reenergizes the solenoid and the drum is given its third step round, the solenoid circuit being again broken to disengage the clutch controlling extrusion. The last phase of this drum movement operates a limit switch which re-energizes the solenoid through contactors and timing means as before and so effects the fourth movement of the drum. As the table is forced down the switch 51 operates to stop the extrusion and the table moves down further until arrested, and then tilts. On removal of the extruded article the table re-assumes its horizontal position under the action of springs or counterweights, and is raised by the weights 13 to the top position where the cycle of operation is repeated. The rod 88 on its return may be arranged to inject lubricant into the open die. The machine may have a cut-out switch enabling all the operations to be initiated by push-buttons, contactors and timing devices governing the solenoid, but the mechanical control system ensures that the operations are performed in sequence.
