Title: Circuit arrangements for converting electric signals from a binary to decimal notation or vice versa
Inventor: DELANOY DONALD BRIAN
IPC: H03M5/00
Filed: 1959-08-26
Abstract: 942,925. Code converters. PYE Ltd. Aug. 26, 1960 [Aug. 26, 1959], No. 29219/59. Heading G4H. The invention resides in circuits for converting a number from decimal to binary or binary to decimal notation. The binary-to-decimal conversion circuit comprises decimal output conductors 00-09 and pairs of binary input conductors 1A, 1B-4A, 4B interconnected by diodes X, the binary input being applied to the trigger electrodes of cold cathode discharge tubes V1-V4, those tubes which are fired then priming the "1" tubes of respective bi-stable circuits B1-B4. When switch S1 is closed to connect H.T. to the anodes of the tubes in circuits B1-B4, the primed "1" tubes fire first, thereby preventing the corresponding "0" tube from firing, and after sufficient potential has built up on capacitors C1, the remaining "0" tubes fire. After a time determined by R5C2, one of decimal output conductors 00-09 is driven positive to fire the corresponding tube OP 0 -OP 9  which in turn operates a relay I 0 -I 9  which controls an indicator lamp, printer or tape perforator. The decimal-to-binary conversion circuit is similar, the input decimal conductors being supplied through a respective discharge tube and the binary output conductors being connected to respective bi-stable circuits providing separate "0" or "1" outputs. Specification 942,925 is referred to.

Abstract: 745,104. Kilns for firing ceramics. GENERAL REFRACTORIES, Ltd. Oct. 22, 1954 [Oct. 24, 1953], No. 29443/53. Class 51 (2). A system in which a number of kilns are connected together for continuous operation comprises four kilns A-D operating in conjunction with a recuperator E, a return flue G for waste gases, a waste gases flue H taking waste gases or heated air from the kilns at a utilizable temperature, and a spent gases flue J discharging spent low temperature gases to an ejector F in a chimney. Dampers A1-D1 connect the flue G to the respective kilns A-D, dampers A2-D2 isolate the flues G and H from each other, and dampers A3-D3 and A4-D4 enable the individual kiln exhausts A5-D5 to be connected to either flue H or flue J respectively. Preheated air is supplied at inlets A6-D6 from air mains (not shown) connected to the recuperator E, and cooling air is supplied at inlets A7-D7 from other mains (not shown). Dampers El, E2 and E3 enable the recuperator to be cut off from the flues G, H and J and a stand-by recuperator may be employed with suitable damper-controlled connections. The kilns are fired by oil or gas burners, supplied directly with primary air, or by underfeed stokers, in cycles which may spread over a week's operation. A typical complete cycle of any one kiln is divided into four stages, as follows:- First stage.-Drawing out, cleaning and re-setting. Second stage (First half).-Preheating to 400‹ C. by waste gas from another kiln, the waste gas passing to flue J. Second stage (Second half).-Fired preheating at 400‹ C.-1100‹ C. using secondary air preheated in the recuperator E, waste gas passing through flue H and recuperator E to flue J. Third stage (First half).-Firing at 1100‹ C.- 1500‹ C. using secondary air preheated in the recuperator, waste gas passing to the first half of the second stage of another kiln. Third stage (Second half).-Soaking at 1500‹ C. by firing using secondary air preheated in the recuperator, waste gas passing through flue H and recuperator E to flue J. Fourth stage (First half).-Pre-cooling from 1500‹ C.-500‹ C., the heated air joining waste gas from the first half of the third stage of another kiln in flue H and after passing through recuperator E going to the first half of the second stage of another kiln. Fourth stage (Second half).-Final cooling from 500‹ C., the air passing to flue J. The different stages are not necessarily equal in time, and the appropriate adjustment of the dampers, valves, burners, and air admission valves is made at each stage as illustrated in Figs: 2-8 (not shown). The hottest ducts may utilize refractory dampers with tubular cooled supports as disclosed in Specification 730,309. The cooling air may be led separately to the recuperator by an additional main, and a further main may be provided with connections from and to any of the kilns, whereby the cooling air may be used directly as secondary air.

Abstract: 1,140,410. Vehicle braking systems. DAIMLER-BENZ A.G. 28 June, 1967 [1 July, 1966], No. 29870/67. Heading F2F. In a vehicle having differently loaded rear axles, the pneumatic pressure for the brake cylinders is controlled in dependence on the load so that the pressure in the circuit for an undriven axle is less than that in the circuit for a driven axle. This prevents over-braking of the undriven axle which carries a lighter load, especially when the vehicle is not fully loaded. In the Figure, a regulating valve 5 senses the loading of the vehicle and passes a pressure of 0-6 atmospheres from a reservoir 8 to the cylinders 4 of the undriven axle 4 through a relay valve 9. The latter merely reduces the response time and does not change the pressure. The cylinders 2 of the driven axle are supplied through a valve 6 with a pressure which is half the sum of the pressure in the reservoir 8 and that from the regulating valve 5.
