Title: Electronic delay system
IPC: G06F7/06
Filed: 1961-07-20
Abstract: 1,001,564. Sorting record cards; shift registers. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. July 20, 1961 [Aug. 30, 1960], No. 3030/63. Divided out of 1,001,563. Headings G4C and G4M. An electronic delay system, e.g. for use in a record card sorting machine for delaying each of a series of input signals and for providing an output for each signal a time interval after it is received, the time interval being determined by the data value of the input signal comprises shift registers to receive the input data signals in parallel, a plurality of gating circuits coupled each to corresponding stages of the shift registers in accordance with a predetermined pattern so that different gating circuits are conditioned according to the input data signals, the conditioned gate being operated by a timing signal to provide a desired control signal at the desired time. In a sorting machine as described in the parent Specification, the digit read from a selected position of the record is presented in binary scale form to leads 496-499 and 480-483, Fig. 1, the first group being energized for " 1 " and the second group for " 0." Timing signals are applied to leads 119 and 158, the latter serving to set trigger 700 and the former being applied to the set input of a one-shot circuit 703. The output of this circuit is used to set another one-shot circuit 701 which then resets trigger 700. Timing signal 798 is taken to each gate to operate the one that is conditioned and signal 799 is applied to step the data through the shift register stages. The binary scale input signals is re-coded in a gating array 781 to an arbitrary four-bit code in which form it is applied to the set inputs of the first triggers 750-753 of four shift registers 791-794. A gate 705 responds without any delay to a particular combination of input signals to produce a " special sort " signal, this being the first stacker of the sorting machine. The outputs of the first stages are connected to " 0 " gate 706 so that if a zero digit is sensed from the record this gate is conditioned and the next timing signal on lead 796 passes through the gate to operate the " 0 " stacker after a delay of one unit. The data is stepped on in synchronism with the movement of the card, the gate 707, Fig. 2, responding for an input "1," gate 708 for an input " 2 " and gate 709 for an input " 3." At this point the shift register outputs are recombined to eliminate one of them. Gate 710 coupled to the next three stages responds to " 4 " gate 711, Fig. 3, to " 5 " gate 712 to "6 " and gate 713 to " 7." The shift registers are then again re-combined and reduced to two. Gate 714 responds to " 8." A further recombination leaves only one stage and a gate 715 responds to "9." Specification 872,020 also is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to piezo-electric transducers
Inventor: BRADFIELD GEOFFREY
IPC: H04R17/00
Filed: 1955-02-07
Abstract: 832,608. Piezo-electric elements. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. May 7, 1956 [Feb. 7, 1955], No. 3598/55. Class 40 (8). A piezo-electric torsional transducer comprises an elongated, longitudinally-polarized, piezo-electric body of constant cross-section which is weakened in torsion by being thinned in the region of, and as measured along, a minor axis, four electrodes being arranged symmetrically about the minor axis. If the electrodes 5, 6, 7, 8 shown in the cross-section of Fig. 1 are connected in the manner illustrated the body will vibrate torsionally in response to signal voltages. The body may be thinned by the provision of grooves 1, 2 which may have the configuration shown or may have straight sides which include an angle of up to 90 degrees. Polarization is achieved by applying voltages of 10 to 150 kilovolts per cm. to temporary electrodes on the end faces of the body. The body shown in Fig. 1 could be made by cementing two grooved elements back to back. In the modification of Fig. 6 two identical bars 12, each having grooves 13 are secured together face to face after they have been polarized and provided with electrodes 14, 15, 16, 17. A glass spacer 18 interposed between the bars 12 provides insulation between the electrodes. The spacer is terminated short of one end to provide room for electrode connections in the form of strips of silver foil. If the bars 12 are polarized in the same direction common connections are made to pairs of electrodes lying diagonally opposite each other as shown. If the bars are arranged with their polarizations in opposite directions, common connections are made to immediately opposite pairs of electrodes. In the latter case the transducer can be provided with a closed polarization circuit by replacing portions of the glass spacer at the ends of the bar by a material having a high dielectric constant, This might be the piezo-electric material itself, in which case an integral step of half the thickness of the glass may be provided at each end of the bar. Alternatively a spacer of barium strontium titanate may be used. In these constructions the glass spacer may be omitted entirely. Suitable materials for the transducer are titanates, zirconates and niobates or mixtures of these substances. A suitable mixture consists of barium titanate with 4% of lead titanate or with about 8% of both lead and calcium titanate.
