Filed: 1964-11-12
Abstract: 1,077,754. Buckles. J. E. McHUGH. Nov. 12, 1964 [Jan. 20, 1964], No. 46065/64. Heading E2A.  A buckle comprises a < shaped resilient member with an apertured clamping member upstanding from one limb- and extending through a slot in the other the belt being passed through the aperture and the clamping member and through three slots provided in the buckle whereby tension applied in one direction to the belt increases the effect of the clamping member on the belt and tension in the other direction releases the clamping member. The buckle comprises a bent strip with slots 15 to 18 and the clamping member 20 extends from the base portion 11 through the slot 15. The belt passes through the slots 16, 17 round the bar 19 through the slots 18, 16 and the slot 21 in the clamping plate which clamps it against the edges of the slot 15. Tension applied to the free end of the belt causes the end of the portion 12 to bend downwardly and to free the belt from the clamping member. The belt may then be shortened. To lengthen the belt, pressure is applied to the end of the portion 12 to allow the belt to move freely through the slot 21 in the opposite direction.

Title: Code translator
IPC: H03M7/00
Filed: 1965-11-03
Abstract: 1,081,199. Digital conversions. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Nov. 3, 1965 [Dec. 23, 1964], No. 46490/65. Heading G4H. A code converter involves repetitive modification of a character. A multiplexor 16 which selects input lines in turn, receives a multi-bit character from a selected input line 17 and passes it directly or via a decrementer 27 to a character register 25 from which it is reinserted (" regenerated ") into the same input line 17. A delay-line-loop memory 10 stores the possible characters of various codes, one code for each input line 17, two successive characters of a given code being separated by a character of each other code. The system deals in a time-divisionmultiplex manner with the input lines 17, successive uses of the character register 25 &c. in connection with one input line 17 being separated by such a use in connection with each of the other input lines 17. An input character is preceded by a special bit indicating that conversion is required. The first character of the sequence of characters for a given code, in the memory 10, is set to 1 in its first bit position which thus constitutes a start-oftranslation (SOT) tag. Forward conversion.-The input character is passed to the character register 25, and regenerated therein via the decrementer 27 (starting at the detection of the SOT tag at the memory 10 output) until the character register 25 contains all 1's when the current output of the memory 10 is gated 14 to the system output (and may be reinserted without decrementing until it is required). Backward conversion.-The input character is passed to the character register 25 and regenerated therein without decrementing until it is equal 15 to the output of the memory 10 when it is replaced by all 1's. The replacement character is regenerated via the decrementer 27 until the SOT tag is detected at the memory output when the replacement character is gated 32 to the system output.

Title: Traffic-Dependent Programme Control for Road Traffic Signalling Systems
IPC: G08G1/08
Filed: 1967-10-20
Abstract: 1,153,412. Road traffic signals; dividers. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 20 Oct., 1967 [21 Oct., 1966], No. 47833/67. Headings G4G and G4Q. A programme for a road traffic signalling system is selected by comparing traffic volumes on the approach roads in conjunction with the total volume and with the percentage of traffic exceeding a predetermined speed. In Fig. 1, signals from traffic counters in each of three lanes on four approach roads are fed to digitalto-analogue converters DA1-DA4 the outputs of which are fed to divider units QB1-QB4 where they are divided by the maximum signal which is determined by unit XS. The outputs of the divider units are classified into ranges in discriminator units SA1-SA4 and fed via a further classifying circuit Z to a temporary store comprising units VQ1-VQ3. The temporary store is coupled to the main store via AND gates TQ1-TQ3 so that the main store is altered only when the temporary store has the same state in two successive counting cycles. Signal lines n1 and n2 are energized if the total flow is below two predetermined values, and line 0 is energized whenever a certain percentage of vehicles exceed a predetermined speed; these lines also feed a temporary store and a main store. The main store is coupled to a distributor CV which energizes the appropriate programme selecting relay P1-Pn. Divider circuit, Fig. 3.-The digital-toanalogue converters of Fig. 1 alter the values of resistances A-D in Fig. 3, in accordance with the four digital input signals. The largest resistance has the greatest potential drop across it, and this potential is coupled to the base of transistor T303 via the corresponding diode D311, D321, D331 or D341. The transistor T303 in turn controls the current flowing through transistor T301 and the resitances A-D in series with associated transistors. The output voltages on lines a-d then correspond to the quotient of the four inputs and the largest of the four inputs. Operation of the circuit is inhibited by normally conducting transistor T302 until it is cut-off by a signal at S.

Filed: 1972-10-23
Abstract: 1395987 Treating vitreous material GLAVERBEL 23 Oct 1972 [25 Oct 1971] 48783/72 Heading C1M A body of vitreous or partly vitreous material is treated in a gas-filled treatment chamber (other than the drawing chamber, or annealing lehr associated therewith, of a drawing machine), in at least one zone of which the temperature of at least one face of the body is sufficiently high for the geometry of that face to be influenced by the heat distribution in the gas, gas-displacing forces being exerted first in one direction and then in a reverse direction to cause the gas in the said zone to move to and fro in contact with the said face. Preferably the forces are exerted at at least 1 cycle in 10 minutes, and up to 10 cycles per minute. The chamber may be an annealing lehr 37 in which a glass ribbon or sheet 43 is supported on rollers 44. Transverse motion of the gas to and fro above the sheet is caused by alternate injection of gas from tuber 45 and 46, which are supplied with gas from reservoir 52 and distributer 51. The treatment is preferably carried out in the zone in which the glass has a temperature of 450-600 C. The gas injected may be preheated air, or may be a combustible gas. Mechanical means, e.g. propellers or reciprocating plates, may replace the injectors. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown) the gas-displacing technique is used in a process for bending glass sheets by sagging into a concave mould.

Abstract: 1,087,662. Route setting system. WERK FUR SIGNAL UND SICHERUNGSTECHNIK BERLIN VEB. Dec. 9, 1964, No. 50112/64. Heading B7N. In an arrangement for controlling the release of a set of points in a route setting system, the points are released when a train has occupied and cleared a track section preceding the points and the points section and is occupying the track section following the points. When a train enters the section W1 preceding the points section W2, relays P1 and Gl1 pick up and release respectively and change over the position of their contacts from that shown. As a result a latching type relay A21 is energized and changes over its contacts A23, A24. When the train enters the points section W2 relay GL2 releases and relay P2 picks up via a contact V21, which is closed when the points are locked, and contacts A23 and Gl24. When the train has cleared section W2 and is occupying the section W3 following the points relays P3 and G13 pick up and release respectively and energize relay A21 in the opposite direction. The release relay V2 for the points W2 is now energized via contacts P23, A24 and Gl25. Figs. 3, 4 and 5 (not shown) indicate how the arrangement is modified for both way working.
