Title: Improvements in and relating to data transfer devices
IPC: G06F3/08
Filed: 1961-03-27
Abstract: 977,414. Digital electric calculating. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. March 27,1961 [April 4, 1960], No. 11020./61. Heading G4A. A punched card 10 on which alpha-numeric characters occupy each a column of the card is read row by row into a single row of magnetic cores 17 of a store 21. Between the presentation of the rows to a card reader,the cores 17 are read successively to B-register 28, the sensing of an impulse causing the combination of the contents of A-register 29 and the B-register and the readin to a character position 22 of store 21 corresponding to the core 17 currently being scanned of a coded representation of the significance of the hole which has been sensed on the card. In detail the operation is as follows: The leading row (9) of the card is presented to the card reader and while the timing cam 11 closes associated contacts, those cores 17 are set which correspond to columns in which a hole has been punched. Once the cam contacts open storage location 000 is used to store a representation of the card row which has just been read. This is done by complement adding a zero stored in A-register to the B-register, the contents of which are initially zero. The first quantity in location 000 will thus be J. This is then read out to A-register. The cores 17 and their associated storage locations 22 are then read-out to the B register. If the core 17 being scanned does not give an output the B-register contents are transferred back to the associated location 22. If the core has been set by the presence of a hole in the card and gives an output on being scanned, the contents of the A and B registers are merged by opening gates 31, 51 simultaneously and are transferred to the associated location 22. It follows that if there is only one hole in a column of the card, the final contents of location 22 corresponding to that column will be the value stored in location 000 at the time the hole is detected, whereas if there is more than one hole the final contents of the location 22 will be the logical sum of the values stored in location 000 at the time the holes are detected. The 1-2-4-8-A-B-C code used is so designed that such logical sums give the desired result. The computer used is that described in Specification 954, 801.

Abstract: 386,631. Tractors. SAINT-GEORGES, J. S., 14, Rue des Sablons, Chatenay, Malabry, Seine, ROCKLAND, M. R DE, 37, Avenue Marceau, and GUILLEBEAU, R., 32, Rue Lecourbe, both in Paris, both in France. April 14, 1931, No. 11055. Convention date, May 14,1930. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Class 79 (iii).] The hauling power of a tractor, normally propelled by driving wheels 7, is increased by prongs or spikes 13 carried by a powerdriven chain 12 running on a sprocket wheel 10 carried by a spring-supported pivoted frame 16 which is connected to the coupling means of the vehicle by a cable &c. 19 so that according to the resistance of the load, the frame 16 is drawn down more or less causing the prongs 13 to enter the ground. Chain gearing 4 transmits the drive from the gear box 3 to the road wheels 7, a further chain 4a continuing the drive through a chain wheel 9 to the sprocket wheel 10. The return wheel 11 for the sprocket chain 12 is loosely mounted on the main axle 17, the chain and sprocket wheel ratios being such that the peripheral speed of the chain 12 is the same as that of the ground wheels 7. The wheels 9, 10 are carried on an axle 14 adjustable in a box 15 on the rocking frame 16 to regulate the chain tension, the frame 16 being pivoted about the axle 17 of the driving wheels 7 and normally held raised with the prongs 13 out of the ground by a spring 18. To facilitate entry and withdrawal of the prongs 13 without tearing up the ground, they are rockably pivoted between side-plates 24 carried by the chain 12, lugs or extensions 25, 26 contacting with the plates to limit the freedom of movement. The upper lugs 25 are extended laterally to bear upon the periphery of an adjacent, loose, eccentrically mounted disc or wheel 21 as the prongs approach the ground, the prongs thereby being constrained to enter the ground at a suitable inclination but being subsequently released from constraint as they pass away from the disc.

Filed: 1924-05-07
Abstract: 237,982. Fearn, J., and Ruston & Hornsby, Ltd. May 7, 1924. Scoop-arm machines.- In a scoop-arm excavator of the kind in which the dcor of the scoop e, Fig. 1, is normally held closed by a latch k which is tripped by a cable q under the control of the operator, means, such as a spring drum s, are provided for keeping the trip line taut, and mechanical means, such as a pivoted arm v, are provided whereby the trip line may be pulled sufficiently to trip the latch, and arranged so that the means for normally keeping the trip line taut do not then exert any pull on the latch. In the normal position of the arm v, shown in full lines, the spring drum s is free to rotate to pav out or take up any slack in the trip line q. When the scoop is to be emptied, a pulley 4, Figs. 1 and 2, over which the trip line passes is pulled by a subsidiary arm 3 against a brake block 7 mounted on the arm v, whereby movement of the trip line over the pulley is prevented. The arm v is then pulled over to the position shown in broken lines in Fig. 1, the trip line q being thereby pulled to trip the latch. The pull of the spring drum in the digging operation may be opposed by a spring 10, to prevent the spring drum from tripping the latch. Instead of the pulley 4 and brake block 7, rotation of the spring arm during the tripping of the latch may be prevented by a spring-controlled pawl 12, Fig. 5, acting on teeth 14 provided on the spring drum. Specification 6223/89 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,061,311. Burning sewage sludge. DORROLIVER Inc. March 17, 1965 [March 31, 1964], No. 11274/66. Heading F4B. Sewage sludge, or other organic waste with a high moisture content is burnt by feeding compacted material into a fluidized bed of inert granular material. The sludge is fed by a screw feeder 50 mounted on wheels so that it may be moved away to prevent sludge in the feeder outlet becoming coked after feeding is stopped. The outlet of the feeder may have blades to divide the plug of material as it passes into the fluidized bed. The furnace chamber may taper downwardly from the top level of the bed so as to compensate for the volume of gas produced by the drying and combustion of the sludge. Instead of a movable screw feeder, the outlet of the feeder may be cleared by injecting a fluid.

Title: Improvements relating to electric clocks
IPC: G04C13/11
Filed: 1945-05-03
Abstract: 591,924. Electric clocks. KARO, D. May 3, 1945, No. 11288 [Class 139] [Also in Groups XXXIV and XXXV] In a synchronous electric clock the stator structure is a permanent magnet with the stator winding arranged to neutralize the permanentmagnet flux on one half-cycle and to strengthen the flux on the other half-cycle whereby the rotor speed is halved from that of a clock with normal form of stator. The rotor shaft is floatingly supported in its bearings by a magnetic lift arising from the permanent-magnet stator structure or from a separate permanent magnet. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 the stepped-wheel rotor c is floatingly supported by being located nearer the upper pole pieces a by adjustment of the fixing screws l along slots in the frame k; the permanent-magnet flux of the stator structure a is such as to equal the alternating flux of the winding b so that only a pulsating flux arises with the effect that the stepped wheel c rotates at half the usual speed. In the form shown in Fig. 4 the shaft d is magnetic and is supported by the upward pull towards the upper parts o of the frame plates which upper parts are of iron while the lower parts p are of brass. The form shown in Fig. 2 has a separate permanent magnet m to support the shaft by acting on discs h carried by the shaft d with adjustment of the lifting flux effected by a flux-shunting bar n.

Filed: 1957-04-09
Abstract: 812,346. Annealing and galvanizing. KELLER, J. D. April 9, 1957, No. 11518/57. Classes 72 and 82(2) A method of continuously annealing and galvanizing long lengths of ferrous strip, including sheet, wire and tubing, comprises passing the strip through a molten alkali metal bath so that the strip passes through zones of increasing temperature to the annealing temperature and then decreasing temperature until it has a temperature corresponding to the galvanizing temperature, removing the alkali metal from the surface of the strip, passing the strip through a gaseous atmosphere which has no detrimental effect on the surface thereof, and finally passing the clean strip through a galvanizing bath. As shown, the strip 3 may pass through an annealing chamber filled with molten sodium as described in Specification 812,345 then into a chamber 24 containing a gas, e.g. a gas containing hydrochloric acid, or nitrogen having 2-25 per cent hydrogen, and finally through a galvanizing bath 29. Pads 22 and sealing rolls 23 between the annealling chamber and the chamber 24 remove sodium adhering to the strip. If hydrochloric acid is used in the chamber 24 the pressure therein must be less than that in the annealing chamber to prevent reaction between the gas and the sodium. The strip may be subjected to work hardening in the chamber 24 e.g. by reverse bending, stretching, or by passing the strip through the rolls of a temper mill located in the chamber.
