Abstract: 345,307. Key-board switches for totalizators. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE MANUFACTURING CO., Ltd., Strowger Works, Liverpool, and SIMPSON, L. M., The Bungalow, Laurel Bank, Stanks, near Leeds. Dec. 20, 1929, No. 39088. [Class 38 (v).] In a key-set comprising a plurality of keys each adapted to operate one or more of a plurality of contact spring sets each common to a plurality of keys, each spring set is adapted to be operated by the movement of a member in a direction at rightangles to the direction of movement of the key. A key-set for use in a totalizator comprises a number of chambers such as 9, Fig. 3, each containing a row of balls. Slots are cut in the chamber where successive pairs of balls touch. One end of the chamber is rigidly closed at 11, while the ball 15 at the other end can operate a contact spring set 8. Each key is provided with one or more depending lugs which on depression of the key enter the spaces between the balls and operate the spring sets. The chambers are arranged in rows as in Fig. 4, the keys being arranged at right-angles to the chambers. The lugs, which are placed along the keys, operate in different chambers. A locking- bar 13 is shown in Fig. 4 in a position for preventing the operation of any key. To make a place bet or a win bet the bar 13 is moved backwards or forwards. The grooves 16 then register with the ends of the chambers and allow the keys to be operated. When one key has been depressed the locking bar 13 cannot be moved. If an extra row of balls is provided it can be arranged that only one key can be depressed at a time. Specification 343,034 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to pulse scanning systems
IPC: H04M15/04
Filed: 1963-10-04
Abstract: 1,055,254. Automatic exchange systems. SIEMENS & HALSKE A.G. Oct. 4, 1963 [Oct. 5, 1962], No. 39155/63. 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 lines of subscribers engaged in a call via respective monostable circuits so that an output pulse from a monostable circuit is of longer duration than that of the original metering pulse, and a line scanning circuit the duration of the scanning cycle of which is less than that of an output pulse but greater than that of 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. If a monostable circuit MS, e.g. a slow-torelease relay (Fig. 2, not shown), is inserted in the metering path so as to act in effect as a pulse lengthener, this drawback is overcome. The output pulse from MS must be of shorter duration than the interval between consecutive pulses of the generator. The capacity of the metering arrangement may be further increased if, instead of the line circuits, the outputs of the monostable circuits are directly scanned, since the necessity for scanning called (i.e. non- metered) lines in addition to calling lines is thereby removed.

Abstract: 824,522. Sliding roofs for vehicles. BAIER, O., BAIER, L., BAIER, W., BAIER, W., BAIER, W., and SCHLUMPRECHT, E., [trading as BAIER K.G., W.]. Dec. 24, 1957 [Jan. 14, 1957], No. 40013/57. Class 108(1) A sliding roof panel 1 may be slid by means of a screwed spindle 4 carrying a threaded bush 5 connected to the panel 1 through a bracket 6. The spindle passes forwardly through a bush 3 and a compression spring 16, and may be rotated by a sprocket 15. Rearwardly the spindle is provided with an abutment 8, and slides in a lug 7 on which is pivoted a link 10 pivotally connected at 11 to a link 12 pivoted at 14 to a bush 13 fixed on the spindle. To open the panel 1 from the Fig. 1 position the spindle 4 is first unscrewed in the bush 5 in the direction of the arrow A until the stop 8 abuts the lug 7. The toggle lever system 10, 12 is thus folded down to allow the rear edge 17 of the panel 1 to drop. Further rotation of the spindle cannot translate the spindle forwardly because of the stop 8, so that the bush 5 and bracket 6 are moved rearwardly with the panel 1 in the direction of arrow B, the panel sliding beneath the fixed roof 19. A reverse sequence of operations allows the panel 1 to be slid forwardly and lifted at its rear edge to close the aperture.

Abstract: 1505914 Data processing INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 3 Oct 1975 [3 March 1975] 40467/75 Addition to 1481887 Heading G4A The word organized random access memory of the parent Application is further modified so that the pq image points of all 1 x pq or pq x 1 or p Î q sub-arrays can be accessed in a single memory cycle, one image point being stored in each of 2pq memory modules each with rs/2 cells. Each image point I(i, j) of a pq x rs array is assigned to a module M(i, j) given by the expression pg[(i/p)//2]+(iq+i/2p+j)//pg at an address A(i, j) = (i/2p)s+(j/q), where // and / respectively represent the remainder and integer quotient of the division. The address generation logic is similar to that of the parent Specification, the shape of the sub-array being represented by a 2-bit parameter t instead of a single bit. The permuters for transferring bits between the pq bit data register (39) and the memory modules are 2 pq bits wide and are also modified by the inclusion of a special permuter, Figs. 12 and 15 (not shown), which, for a pq x 1 sub-array, distributes successive bits of an input word to every 2pth bit of the output word (mod 2pq). An additional permuter, Fig. 16 (not shown), is provided to rotate a fixed pattern of pq binary 1's and pq binary 0's to provide signals for selectively enabling and disabling the memory modules M(i, j).

Title: Sound film cameras
IPC: G03B31/02
Filed: 1975-10-03
Abstract: 1512816 Sound film cameras ROBERT BOSCH GmbH 3 Oct 1975 [5 Oct 1974] 40505/75 Heading G2E A sound film camera has separately operable film transport means for the picture unit and for the sound unit, controlled by means responsive to actuation of the shutter release which brings the various transport means into operation in the proper sequence, and terminates said control automatically, the camera recording also being terminated when the release is released. As shown, the camera has a release 4, a picture unit 6, and a sound recording unit 8. The latter comprises a motor 43 and a magnetic recording head 55. The film 72 passes between head 55 and a pressure pad 53, and between a sound shaft or capstan 60 and a pressure roller 62, in the sound recording section, and is driven by a claw 6a behind a lens 2 in the picture taking section. The pressure pad 53 is mounted on a carrier 52 fixed to a rocker arm 44, which also carries the sound motor 43, counterbalanced by a weight 58 at the other end. A coupling bar 71 has at one end a lever linkage 64, 67 carrying the pressure roller 62, its other end resting on an eccentric (13) Fig. 2 (not shown), forming part of the control member (12), which also includes a system of cams, and a disc having a contact surface 20, the member being driven by an actuator motor 11. When the camera release 4 is pressed, motor 11 is energized, and the control member rotates. The system of cams and eccentrics causes the sound motor 43 to start, and rocker arm 44 is pivoted so that the shaft 50 carrying motor 43 bears against a friction wheel 51 carrying the capstan 60. The pressure pad 53 also moves upwardly to press the film 72 against the sound head 55. The linkage 64, 67 pivots so that the roller 62 presses the film against the capstan 60. Finally the motor 6b is energized which drives the film claw feed 6a. The picture unit and sound unit are now operative. After the contact surface 20 has rotated through 180 degrees, motor 11 is automatically de-energized and stops, the photographing and sound recording units still being in their operative positions, although not operating. When the release 4 is released, motor 11 is switched on again, and the contact surface 20 rotates through a further 180 degrees. During this further rotation, all the above-described actuating operations are reversed, and the parts return to their original rest positions.

Abstract: 939,428. Controlling clutches. AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS CO. Ltd. Nov. 22, 1960 [Dec. 2, 1959], No. 40999/59. Class 80 (2). [Also in Group XXIX] A servomotor comprises a flexible diaphragm 25, or a piston, spring-urged towards the right and connected by a rod 14 with an element, such as a clutch, to be operated, an assembly of plates 45, 46 operatively connected by a rod 19 and block 63 with an input lever 18 connected with an operator's clutch pedal, valve heads 53, 54 carried by a stem 52 and operable by movement of the assembly 45, 46, and a one-way valve 57 with a passage 62 therethrough for controlling the rate of movement of the diaphragm 25 in one direction. As shown, the diaphragm is permanently subjected to atmospheric pressure in a chamber 26, whilst a chamber 27 may be connected through the valve assembly with atmosphere or a vacuum reservoir, but the arrangement may alternatively be one in which both sides of the diaphragm are normally connected to suction and one side is connected to atmosphere to provide the operating pressure difference, or one in which operation is effected by super-atmospheric pressure on one side of the diaphragm. With the parts in the positions shown the chamber 27 is connected to atmosphere through passages 44, 43, a chamber 34, the passage 62 and a port 48 connecting with a chamber 35 which has an atmospheric connection (not shown) and is separated from the chamber 34 by a flexible diaphragm 33. Leftward movement of the assembly 45, 46 closes the port 48 and causes the valve head 54 to be lifted from a vacuum port 42 so that the chamber 27 is evacuated to cause leftward movement of the diaphragm and disengagement of the clutch. On release of the clutch pedal springs 51, 55 cause closure of the port 42 and opening of the port 48 so that atmospheric air passes to the chamber 27 and lifts the valve 57 against a spring 59 until the pressure difference across the valve 57 falls to the extent that it is overcome by the spring 59 when the valve closes and further flow of air into the chamber 27 is restricted by the passage 62.

Abstract: 1464025 Ultrasonic inspection apparatus CENTRE TECHNIQUE DES INDUSTRIES  MECANIQUES 23 Sept 1974 [19 March 1974] 41241/74 Heading G1G An instrument for ultrasonic testing comprises transmit and receive transducers arranged at the ends of a path along which a beam is propagated, the beam being angularly displaceable about a fixed axis, the path length being variable in accordance with a relationship determined as a function of angular displacements of the beam, and means being provided to detect the time taken by the beam to traverse the path. As embodied the beam is deflected at a substantially fixed point, corresponding to the centre of the angular displacements, and may be reflected from a point on the test piece surface. The actual angle of the beam is accurately measured from measurement of the time delay of the pulses therein and may be used in measuring, e.g. critical angle positions for which there exists maximum or minimum reflected energy, and for establishing the presence of Rayleigh waves, longitudinal; or transverse waves, and hence the properties such as Young's Modulus or Poisson's Ratio of e.g. thermally treated specimens. In Figs. 9 and 10, a transmitting and receiving probe 56 is held in movable sleeve 57 inside a housing 58 which may be filled with acoustic coupling liquid (not shown). Sleeve 57 has guides 60, 61 which are slidably mounted on columns 63 against the action of spring 66. Member 61 also cooperates with manually operated threaded shaft 64 which allows vertical adjustment of the sleeve 56. A spring 69 biases the sleeve 57 towards cam surface 68 along which runs roller 67 fixed to sleeve 57. The shape of cam surface 68 is such that a predetermined relationship exists between the position of probe 56 (and hence the length of the beam incident on the test piece surface at point O and retro-reflected by spherical or cylindrical mirror 59), and the angle of incidence of the beam at point O. The path length difference is measured from the echo delay time, from which the angle of incidence may be computed using e.g. a C.R.T., and compared with the level of reflected energy. In another embodiment, (not shown) an auxiliary mirror is actuated by a system of rollers and cams, driven electrically, to simultaneously vary the incidence angle, and path length. Provision is made for examining both flat and cylindrical objects, via a coupling fluid-retaining diaphragm. In other embodiments, (not shown) separate receiving and transmitting transducers may be used, and for small angular variations a simple linearly scanned flat mirror may be used.
