Title: Cable termination forming tool
IPC: H01R43/00
Filed: 1976-09-16
Abstract: 1498678 Cable termination tool; jointing by forging; punching MERCIA ENG CO Ltd 16 Sept 1976 [17 Sept 1975] 38270/75 Headings B3A, B3H and B3W A tool for terminating a cable comprises a body 50, a hydraulically operated ram 56 slidable in the body, an anvil 73 which co-operates with the ram so that an end portion of a cable can be compressed to form a palm on operation of the ram, and a punch 88 mounted on the anvil or ram for punching a hole through the palm on operation of the ram. The cable may be compressed to form a palm at a station 78 by a first operation of the ram and then moved laterally to a station 79 where a hole is punched through the palm by a second operation of the ram. In the embodiment shown the anvil 73 is mounted between arms 52 and 53 of the body 50 so that it is removable therefrom by sliding it in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the ram. Mounted on the anvil is a yoke 87 for locating the cable end 83 in the correct position during the pressing operation, the punch 88, a stripper member 93 biased by the action of a spring 97, and a blade 103 for cropping excess metal from the palm simultaneously with the punching operation. The ram 56 is actuated by hydraulic fluid supplied through bores 66 and is returned to its initial position by a spring 62. A die plate 69 is removably attached to the end of the ram and is provided with a bore 91 into which the tip of the punch enters and through which the punched out disc of metal falls. In another embodiment, Figs. 1 to 3 (not shown) the pressing and punching stations (35) and (44) are displaced from each other in a direction parallel with the axis of the cable end so it is necessary to remove the formed palm from the tool and to re-insert it in the tool from the other side. A stripper plate (41) is mounted on the die (19) and spaced therefrom for insertion therebetween of the palm to be punched.

Title: Improvements in or relating to transistor oscillator circuits
Inventor: DAVIES IAN FREDERICK
IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 1957-12-12
Abstract: 856,105. Transistor oscillators. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Nov. 21, 1958 [Dec. 12, 1957], No. 38666/57. Class 40(6). [Also in Group XXXV] A transistor oscillator comprises a plurality of similar transistors having their emittercollector paths connected in series in the same sense. There being a capacitor connected between the emitter and collector of each transistor and all the capacitors being of substantially the same value, the transistors being connected in series with a resonant circuit between the terminals of a power supply and a regenerative feedback signal derived from the resonant circuit being applied between the emitter and base of each transistor. The circuit illustrated serves as a power supply for a low-pressure mercuryvapour lamp 14 and is supplied from a 28-volt source 6; this source may, however, rise to 60 volts for short periods whereby damage would be done to the circuit if a single transistor alone were used. The transistors 1, 2 are arranged in series with the source 6 and the primary winding 3 of a transformer having a tuned secondary 11, further secondary windings 19, 20 supplying feedback voltages to the transistors 1, 2. Since the transistors 1, 2 are either both conducting or both non-conducting the voltage between the emitter of transistor 1 and the collector of transistor 2 should be equally divided between the two transistors; equal-value capacitors 7, 9 are provided to ensure that this is so despite differences between the characteristics of the transistors. Resistors 8, 10 may assist the potential-divider action of the capacitors 7, 9. When the circuit is first switched on and before the lamp conducts, the feedback to the emitterbase circuits of the transistors is of sufficient magnitude to drive the transistors well into saturation and a non-sinusoidal output voltage is developed. Such a voltage, together with the overshoot which tends to occur in each cycle when the transistors commence conducting, assists in starting the discharge in the lamp 14. Thereafter the load provided by the lamp 14 reduces the amount of feedback with the result that each transistor is sent just into saturation once per cycle and a sinusoidal output voltage is developed across the secondary winding 11. The emitter-base circuits of the transistors are biased during operation by the potentials developed across capacitors 22, 24 as a result of the rectifying action of the emitter-base diodes; as a result the transistors normally operate under slightly class-C conditions. It is stated that the circuit may be modified to comprise two series groups of transistors operating in push-pull. Specification 854,206 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to noise-suppression means for dry shaving devices

Abstract: 825,518. Dry shavers. SIEMENSSCHUCKERTWERKE A. G. Dec. 20 1956 [Feb. 29, 1956], No. 38888/56. Class 131 A dry shaver comprises two co-operating cutting elements, a drive member for moving one of the elements relatively to the other and a noise-suppressing, rubber &c. carrier for the driven element. As shown, the cutter head is a hollow rubber body 1 to which an outer cutting element 2 is secured by a push fit or glued joint. A movable inner cutting element 3 has lugs 4 and a central rib 5 engaged in projections 7 and an apertured diaphragm 8 of the body 1, respectively, a drive member 6 extending through the rib 5 to oscillate the cutting element. Engagement of the lugs 4 in the projections 7 depresses and tensions the projections so that the inner cutter is resiliently urged against the outer cutter. In a modification shown at the right-hand side of Fig. 1 the outer cutting element is secured in a rigid polyamide sleeve 9 which encloses the rubber body 1. The driving motor may be encased in a rubber body.

Abstract: 1,055,434. Automatic exchange systems. SIEMENS & HALSKE A.G. Oct. 4, 1963 [Oct. 5, 1962], No. 39156/63. Heading H4K. A scanning system for detecting the presence of metering pulses in subscribers' line circuits comprises a metering-pulse generator which applies pulses to the input of respective bistable circuits the outputs of which are connected to the lines of subscribers engaged in a call and a line scanning circuit the duration of the scanning cycle of which is greater than the duration of a metering pulse but less than the interval between two metering pulses and wherein a change in state of the bi-stable circuit between two successive line scans is interpreted as a metering pulse. The system is applicable to a large exchange having centralized metering arrangements using relatively slowly moving rotating memories AE, e.g. magnetic drums or ferrite core stores. With such arrangements the possibility exists that a metering pulse provided by generator Zi via connector RSA to a line circuit TS will be lost because the scanning cycle of the drum is longer than the duration of a metering pulse. This drawback is overcome by the insertion of the bi-stable circuit BS in the metering path. The capacity of the system may be increased or alternatively the scanning speed may be reduced if, instead of the lines, the outputs of the bi-stable circuits are scanned directly.
