Abstract: 1347818 Battery charging systems SANSHA ELECTRIC MFG CO Ltd 17 Oct 1972 [29 Nov 1971] 47714/72 Heading H2H A system for charging a battery 3 comprises an A.C. source, a charging circuit 2, a comparator 6 which produces an output signal when the terminal voltage of the battery exceeds a reference voltage, a pulse generator 4 and a reversible counter 5, the counter changing from addition to subtraction of pulses in response to the comparator signal and producing a signal when the count reaches zero thereby causing a control circuit 7 to substantially reduce or interrupt the charging of the battery. The counter 5 normally provides a logical "1" output so that closure of a push-button switch 38 energizes a relay 33 via a transistor 31 to close contacts 35, 36. The charging current supplied to the battery flows through a resistor 21 and a voltage to frequency converter 22 produces a pulse train at a frequency proportional to the charging current. The frequency of these pulses is halved by a logic circuit in the pulse generator and the pulses are added by the counter 5. The reference voltage fed to the comparator in the abrupt voltage increase which the battery undergoes when the quantity of charge fed to the battery is about 80% of the quantity of electricity discharged from the battery. Since the optimum charge to be supplied to the battery is known to be 120% of the quantity of electricity discharged, when the battery undergoes the abrupt voltage increase, the output signal from the comparator enables the logic circuit to supply pulses at twice the frequency of the addition pulses to the subtraction input of the counter. Thus when the count reaches zero an additional 40% charge has been supplied to the battery but at this instant the logical "0" output of the counter switches off the transistor 31 to deenergize the relay and open the contact 36. In a modification, Fig. 5 (not shown), a high resistance is connected across the contact 36.

Abstract: 1,132,420. Circuits employing bi-stable magnetic elements. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. 20 Oct., 1967 [10 Nov., 1966], No. 47830/67. Heading H3B. A bi-stable magnetic storage element e.g. a planar thin film or a coated conductor, has a read line which, when energized, causes displacement of the remanent magnetism of the element, an inhibit line which, when energized, causes displacement of the remanent magnetization in the opposite direction, and a sense line coupled to an integrator, the arrangement being such that when both the read and inhibit lines are energized during overlapping non-coincident time periods the output from the integrator is zero, and when the read line is energized alone the polarity of the integrator output is indicative of the stored data. A store (Fig. 4) using a plurality of such elements includes word lines 76, 78, 80 defining respective words, inhibit lines 82, 84, 86 coupled to corresponding digits of different words and balanced sense lines 110, 111 coupled to respective rows of elements. Each row also has a digit line 106, 107. Data is written in a selected bit position by energizing a selected word line simultaneously with the appropriate digit line and with inhibit lines associated with unselected bit positions. During read out the selected inhibit lines are again energized to generate pulses in sense lines 110, 111. Before the inhibit pulses are terminated the selected word line is energized to generate pulses of opposite polarity from the unselected bit positions. The two pulses on each sense line are supplied to an amplifier 88, 89 and integrator 22, 23, which produces no output. The action of the word pulse on the selected uninhibited bit position is, however, to generate an output pulse having a polarity indicative of the stored bit, this pulse being uncompensated for in the integrator.
