Title: Apparatus for the manufacture of a pattern strip for circular knitting machines
IPC: D03C19/00
Filed: 1969-02-06
Abstract: 1,262,097. Setting up device for knitting machine. C. TERROT SOHNE MASCHINENFABRIK. 6 Feb., 1969 [6 Feb., 1968], No. 57596/68. Heading D1C. [Also in Division G3] A pattern strip for the control of a circular knitting machine is prepared by scanning a master pattern 2 by a photoelectric device determining the light, from a source 1, reflected by the pattern elements. The electric currents produced are amplified by an amplifier 4 and, through a relay 5, cause a switch 6 to take up a specific position dependent on the scanned pattern value. The switch is connected to a stepping device 7 controlling, through a device 10, the movement of a punch 8 for a pattern strip 9, the feed of the strip 9 and the scanning of the master pattern 2. The scanned pattern values are recorded in series by means of punched symbols. The control device includes a photoelectrically scanned paper strip whereby only one colour is scanned in each line of the pattern and transferred to the strip 9 so that for each line of the master pattern a constant portion of length is provided on the pattern strip for each knitting system. Alternatively a master pattern produced as a magnetic coating is scanned by a magnetic head.

Title: Hydrostatic power transmission system
IPC: F16H39/16
Filed: 1971-12-13
Abstract: 1375994 Hydrostatic transmission control NISSAN MOTOR CO Ltd 13 Dec 1971 [28 Dec 1970 (2)] 57737/71 Heading F2D In a hydrostatic transmission for a motor vehicle wherein a pump cylinder block 15 is fast with an input shaft 10 and has radial pistons 18a, 18b engaging a cam ring 19 fast with a motor cylinder block 20 which is fast with an output shaft 11 and has radial pistons 22a, 22b engaging an adjustable cam ring 24, a valve 56 is provided to control the pressure in a high pressure line 32 between the pump and motor during starting. The starting valve 56 comprises a valve spool 67 having differential area lands 71, 72 respectively subjected to control pressure in a chamber 75 and high pressure from the line 32 acting in a chamber 76. The chambers 75, 76 are supplied with pressure liquid from the high pressure line 32 through restrictions 79, 80. The control pressure in the chamber 75 is adjusted by a solenoid control valve 68 in response to vehicle and engine speeds. A signal generator 63 receives signals proportional to vehicle and engine speed from generators 59, 60 and supplies a voltage signal to a solenoid 65 controlling the valve 68. Increased energization of the solenoid 65 moves the valve 68 left to throttle exhaust from the chamber 75 and increase the pressure therein to move the valve spool 67 left and throttle a high pressure line exhaust 82 and thus increase pressure in the high pressure line 32. The eccentricity of the cam ring 24 may be controlled by means (not described) responsive to vehicle speed and throttle opening or engine manifold depression. When the cam ring 24 is concentric with the cylinder block 20 for directdrive a valve 87 moves left to block the high pressure line 32 between the pump and motor to reduce hammering noises. The valve 87 is controlled by a valve 88 having a spool 100 biased by a spring 101 to the position shown in which it supplies high pressure liquid to the left of a flange 87b on the valve element 87 to move the latter right and permit unrestricted flow between the pump and motor. When direct-drive is established a lever 102 acts through a rod 103 to move the valve spool 100 right and vent the chamber on the left side of the flange 87b whereupon high pressure supplied to the right side of the flange 87b through a bore 87c in the valve element 87 moves the latter left to block the high pressure line 32. A make-up pump 46 supplies pressure liquid to the low pressure line through one way valves 48, 49. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,154,590.

Filed: 1972-12-21
Abstract: 1418038 Data storage systems THOMSONCSF 21 Dec 1972 [23 Dec 1971] 59264/72 Heading G4A A data store includes N storage matrices the elements of which are addressed by a common addressing means, a test means arranged to compare data written into a read from the elements of successive ones of the matrices to determine whether each matrix is faulty, and a means for connecting the first n (n < N) fault free matrices to an addressing means arranged, in conjunction with the common addressing means to select any one from n matrices for read write operations. Eight matrices P 0 -P 7  each comprising 64 binary storage locations addressed by X and Y decoders are provided. A decoder DZ has four coded outputs Z 0 , Z 0 , Z 1 , Z 1  which present 5 volts for logic one and 0 volts for logic zero. In operation the first output of decoder DZ, viz. Z 0  = Z 1  = 0, Z 0  = Z 1  = 1, is selected. Z 0  and Z 1  are placed at 30 volts in order to destroy diodes D 00  and D 01 , leaving D 11 , D 00  acting as an AND gate to decode the output of decoder DZ in its first state and select matrix P 0 . Matrix P 0  is then tested by setting the output R 0  of decoder DA to render To conductive, the AND gate formed by diodes D 01 , D 00 , and fuse F 0  selecting matrix P 0 . The data written into P 0  is compared with the data read from P 0  and if the comparison is unsuccessful fuse F 0  is destroyed by a 30 volt signal IN, the decoder DZ outputs remain as they are and the procedure is repeated for matrix P 1  which is selected by rendering T 1  conductive. If the comparison is successful the fuse is not destroyed so that P 0  is accessed in response to the output Z 0  = Z 1  = 0, Z 0  = Z 1  = 1 of decoder DZ. The outputs of decoder DZ are then set to Z 0  = Z 1  = 0, Z 0  = Z 1  = 1 and the procedure is repeated for the next matrix. If when four fault free matrices have been assigned to the four states of decoder DZ some unused matrices remain they are tested by setting Z 0  = Z 1  = Z 0  = Z 1  = 1 and rendering their transistors T conductive and, if fault free, are retained as spares. The stores may be field effect or bipolar transistor devices.

Abstract: 1328838 Depositing by reaction from vapour; apparatus INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 22 Dec 1970 [2 Jan 1970] 60726/70 Heading C7F [Also in Division C1] A vapour reaction apparatus includes a tubular reaction chamber, a gas inlet distribution baffle extended across substantially the whole cross-sectional area of one end of the chamber and providing sufficient resistance to gaseous phase material to develop a substantially uniform back pressure and to deliver a substantially uniform flow of gas with a planar velocity front over substantially the whole crosssection of the chamber, and a gas exit pressure baffle extending across substantially the whole area of the other end of the chamber to provide uniform gas resistance thereover. The apparatus may be used for the reduction of silicon tetrafluoride by hydrogen. In the Figure is shown a vapour deposition reactor 10 comprising an opaque quartz cylinder 12 capped at both ends by hollow plates 14 and 16 made of stainless steel through which cooling water may be circulated and defining a reaction chamber 18. The reaction chamber may be 9 inches in diameter and 18 inches high. Tie rods 20, with the aid of O-rings 22 and 24 enable the chamber 18 to be made air-tight. The lower plates 16 and O-ring 24 are attached to a hydraulic cylinder which opens and closes the reactor. In the chamber 18 is a substrate holder, graphite susceptor 28, mounted on a fusedquartz rod 26, having mounted around its circumference and substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chamber defined by rod 26 a plurality of substrates 30 upon which the deposition is desired. The susceptor may be mounted on the rod 26 by a star plate. Supported by the top plate 14 and extending the whole of the cross-section of the chamber there is provided a gaseous phase inlet means including a distribution baffle 38, which forms with the plate 14 a first plenum 36. Gaseous materials 32 are introduced through tube 34 to 36 and are evenly delivered over the whole of the crosssectional area of the reaction chamber 18. The gas distribution baffle 38 may be a perforated plate or a sintered material having a gas resistance sufficient to develop uniform back pressure to maintain even gas distribution over the entire surface area of the baffle. A heat shield 40 may be mounted on the reaction chamber outside the baffle 38 to reflect the radiation from the heat receptor 28. 40 is a thin plate of stainless steel or molybdenum. Gaseous materials having passed through the heat shield 40 enter chamber 18 having a planar velocity front. After passing over the susceptor 28 reactant gases leave the bottom of the chamber through an exit pressure baffle 42 also of sintered or porous material. Preferably, the porosity of baffle 42 is greater than that of baffle 38. Exhaust gases pass through the second plenum 48 and exhaust tubes 50 to the atmosphere or to a reclamation process. To heat the substrate an RF source is preferred although a resistance heater may be used.

Filed: 1970-12-22
Abstract: 1333256 Transversal equalizers INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 22 Dec 1970 [31 Dec 1969] 60728/70 Heading H4R In a transversal filter the multipliers on the taps of the delay device are adjusted in accordance with information derived from selected frequency component of signals applied to the filter. As described a pilot signal sequence is transmitted over the system and received by the equalizer. Initially a signal at a frequency dependent on the bandwidth, and number of stages, of the equalizer is transmitted, detected at the output of the equalizer 4 and fed to a device 6 which generates signals at the harmonics of the received signal. The pilot signal sequence continues by transmitting in sequence each of the harmonics of the original sequence each of which is modulated by the corresponding harmonic generated by device 6 and phase locked to the original fundamental frequency of the system. During each modulation period the multipliers on the taps of the transversal equalizer are adjusted, by the memory 7 via the registers 5, to provide two transfer functions for the equalizer which differ only by a phase difference of #/2 and it is shown that from the results of the change in transfer function the equalization required at that frequency can be derived and stored in memory 7. After the equalization required has been determined for each harmonic the arithmetic unit 10 derives a combination value for the setting of the equalizer tap multipliers which is fed to memory 7 and controls the setting of registers 5 during the normal data transmission. In an alternative system, Figs. 3 and 5, a delay device having an overall delay 4T, where the signal bandwidth is 2T, is used, tapped as shown in Fig. 3. The signals at the tappings are combined, as shown, at the inputs of summing amplifiers SA1 to SA4, each amplifier output is adjusted, by the respective resistor d1 to d4, to balance the amplitudes of specific frequency components. A device for monitoring the components and simplifying the adjustment is described with respect to Fig. 5. The system could be arranged to be automatically adjusted.

Title: Method and apparatus for traversing strand material
IPC: B65H57/04
Filed: 1978-09-27
Abstract: Relates to a method and apparatus for the traversing of strand material, such as glass strands, as they are being wound. The method involves passing the strand along the continuous and generally helical groove of a free-wheeling rotating cam and traversing the strand within the groove as the cam is rotated by the strand passing thereover. The cam is rotated by the strand such that the linear speed of the groove surface is about equal to the speed of the strand passing over it. Apparatus for accomplishing this result includes a cam member (14) having a continuous and generally helical groove (52) on its outer surface (50). This cam member is mounted to be free-wheeling, is rotated by the strand passing thereover without the need of a positive motor drive, and is spaced from and reciprocated bodily relative to a wound package. Employment of the method and apparatus of the present invention substantially reduces the frictional drag on the strand normally encountered when employing conventional traversing and winding systems and produces a rounder strand than is possible with these traverse systems. <IMAGE>
