Title: Improvements in or relating to scoring devices for games
Inventor: WICHINSKY MICHAEL
IPC: F41J5/04
Filed: 1970-10-23
Abstract: 1282670 Scoring devices; dartboards M WICHINSKY and C LAUGHTON 23 Oct 1970 [31 July 1970] 50464/70 Headings A6D A6S [Also in Division G4] A scoring device has a number of vibration transducers, e.g. PU1-PU4, Fig. 4A, each associated with e.g. a concentric ring on a dart board, a dart striking the board causing a ring to vibrate, each transducer being connected to one of a series of switches, e.g. silicon controlled rectifiers, SCR1-SCR4, which, when triggered by an output from a transducer, apply a voltage to at least one terminal 1'-4', Fig. 4B, of a rotary switch 50, the number of switches being triggered depending on which transducer gives an output. A rotary arm 52 on the switch is connected to a counter and scans the number of 'live' contacts. The arm 52 connects a brake solenoid 66 to each terminal in turn, a 'live' terminal then operating the solenoid to move a lever 72, Fig. 5A, permitting a disc 68 of the counter to rotate one place, the disc having ten teeth 73. The gates of the switches SCR 1-4, Fig. 4A, are connected together via diodes D10-D12 so that, when an SCR is triggered (e.g. SCR2), all SCRs with a higher suffix (e.g. SCR3 and SCR4) are also triggered. When the disc rotates through ten places, it actuates a switch 76, Fig. 4B, which operates a brake solenoid 78 permitting a disc 84, Fig. 5A, of the counter to rotate one place. A cam 90, Fig. 4B, on the switch 50 operates a switch MS1 to permit only one revolution of the arm 52. A motor 74, Fig. 5A, drives both discs 68, 84 and the arm 52, the motor being reversible to permit zeroing of the counter discs. Instead of the counter discs 68, 84, solenoid driven steppers operating a stack of switches, Fig. 6 (not shown), may be utilized. The output of each transducer may be amplified, rectified and smoothed. A dart board comprises four concentric steel rings 8, Fig. 1, mounted on plastics and felt layers mounted on a cabinet 10. Magnetically tipped darts may be used and a wiper bar 14 may clear darts from the board. The bar 14 is driven by a sprocket and chain arangement driven in turn by a motor activated by coinin-the-slot device.

Abstract: 1308343 Continuous transport systems ENGINS MATRA SA 23 Oct 1970 [24 Oct 1969 5 May 1970] 50514/70 Heading B7L A continuous double track transport system Fig. 1 comprises a transport track 1 and a loading track 2 running alongside each other, the loading track passing through stations 9; the trains of vehicles are of equal length and comcomprise transport trains 3 and loading trains 4, each running on their respective tracks and each provided with drive means and having adjustable coupling between adjacent vehicles of a train, means being provided to releasably link transport and loading trains together. Automatic control arrangements control the speed and position of at least the loading trains so that they may be brought alongside and linked to the transport trains in the stretch of track between stations, and then detached from them to permit the transport train to pass through the station and the loading train to stop, discharge and take on passengers, and then link up with a following transport train. The drive means may, e.g., comprise a rotary or linear electric motor, whilste the automatic control means includes a computer unit which can compare and correlate signals from the various trains with each other and with a program. As shown in Figs. 12 and 15, the linking means between the vehicles comprises plates 36 on the loading vehicles which are clamped into seats 37 on the transport vehicles by jaws 38. A control unit 39 on a vehicle 3, controls closing of the jaws when the vehicles are transversely aligned, and also signals when the linking has taken place so that the communicating doors between the vehicles may open. As shown in Fig 16, the adjustable coupling between vehicles of a particular train comprises two racks 62 and 63 each solidly connected to one of the coupled vehicles and held in engagement with a pinion 64 having a vertical axis of rotation. A control box 65 includes means for locking the pinion in a given angular position and also means co-operable with markers on the track to provide adjustment of the coupling when curves are to be negotiated. The pinion and control box are carried by a vehicle on a telescopic arrangement. Also described are track arrangements in which a loading track provides a "loop line" to serve little used stations (Fig. 6, not shown), and in which the loading track provides a direct line through the station without passing by the platforms (Fig. 4, 5, 6, not shown). The vehicles used may be electrically powered and guided on rails, or pneumatically by an air cushion arrangement. Alternatively the vehicles may be driven by cable systems or variablepitch endless screw arrangements.  Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,217,298.

Abstract: 1282644 Electric motors PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 29 Oct 1969 [1 Nov 1968] 53005/69 Heading H2A A P.M. rotor D.C. motor having stator windings energized in dependence on rotor position includes at least two stator windings and two Hall plates exposed to the rotor field, the Hall voltages being supplied to control transistors whose emitter electrodes are fed from a common source of substantially constant current. The motor shown has four windings 1-4 and two Hall plates 9, 10, the latter being connected to the bases of amplifying transistors 16, 17 and 26, 27, connected to control transistors 18, 19 and 28, 29 which in turn control switching transistors 21, 23 and 22, 24 connected to the windings. The common source of constant current comprising transistor 31 ensures that only one of the control transistors conducts at any given time and hence only one winding is energized at any given time. In a modification, Figs. 4, 6 (not shown), having three windings (1, 2, 3), each winding is connected in one diagonal of a respective bridge-type transistorized double change-over switch controlled by a Hall plate (e.g. 9). The windings each carry current in opposite directions at different times and two windings are energized at any given time. The control transistors (e.g. 18) for each winding are respectively connected together with the corresponding transistors in the circuits of the other windings to a common source of constant current (e.g. transistor 31). There are thus three transistorized change-over switches and four sources of constant current, one for each group of control transistors in corresponding arms of the bridge type change-over switches.

Abstract: 1,136,246. Electric shift registers. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. 20 Dec., 1965 [23 Dec., 1964; 10 Aug., 1965], No. 53882/65. Heading G4C. A shift and rotate circuit involves a register having unidirectional rotation in a first direction and circuitry for accomplishing a shift direction operation in the other direction by writing 0's in the stages of the register which would otherwise contain bits not shifted out of one end of the register and reinserted in the other. A twenty stage register is described, (Figs. 4-11 not shown), each stage having an input bus and an output bus. Sets of gates (A, B, C, D, E) allow any stage to be shifted 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 stages to its right respectively, stage 0 being connected to stage 19, and another set of gates (V) allows the output bus of any one stage to be connected to the input bus of the same stage. During each instruction a counter (504) enables the 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 shift gates successively. The magnitude of the shift is entered on lines (X1, X2, X4, X8, X16) and for right shifts and right rotates is passed to gates (A-E) a "1" in the appropriate bit position enabling the appropriate gates, a "0" enabling gate V causing the word to be rewritten in the same location. For left shifts and left rotates the shift magnitude is complemented with respect to 20 and then supplied to the appropriate gates A-E (a left rotate of 2 being the same as a right rotate of 18 for a 20 bit register). On a right shift all bits leaving the right end of the register must be replaced by zeroes in the left end so a further input to the gates (V) acts to disable, and hence cause them to rewrite zero, those gates which would cause bits shifted from the right end to be written into the left end of the register. On a left shift only those numbers which are not shifted out of the register are to be replaced by zero, (e.g. number a, b, c, d, e shifted left 3 positions or rotated right 2 positions would give d, e, a, b, c and the numbers a, b, c which have not left the register must be replaced by "0"). Thus a set of lines (BL1, BL2, BL4A, BL4B, BL8, BL16) is connected to the gates V such that any bit in a stage such that the shift magnitude cannot cause it to be moved out of the register is rewritten as a zero. (E.g. with respect to Fig. 2, bits in register positions 0-19 can be shifted 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 positions at gates A, B, C, D, E as shown by the diagonal lines or can remain in the same positions as shown by the vertical lines, with the proviso that a shift magnitude of 21 or larger will not occur. Thus any number at level E can at most have been shifted 15 places and bits in stages 0-4 could not have been shifted out of the register. Thus bits in these stages must be rewritten in the same stages as zero if there is not a 16 shift instruction i.e. if line X16 is zero. Thus line BL16 is connected to gates 0V-4V to disable them and cause them to write 0 if line X16 is zero. Similar reasoning applies to the other stages.)
