Title: Improvements in or relating to high-speed hunting circuits
Inventor: PEARCE JAMES GORDON
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1954-11-25
Abstract: 787,255. Automatic exchange systems. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE & ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. Oct. 6, 1955 [Nov. 25, 1954], No. 34143/54. Class 40 (4). In a hunting arrangement two groups of serially-arranged gas discharge tubes are provided, one tube from each group forming a stage, and successive operation of the stages takes place in one direction by the application of a potential to the tube of one group in the first stage and alternatively in the other direction by the application of a potential to the tube of the other group in the last stage. First embodiment, Fig. 1. V2 and V4 supply H.T. to the even- and odd numbered tubes, respectively. A hunting operation is started by a mark on terminal HSH which strikes forward hunt tube STF, which marks run forward lead RF to fire IROF. If outlet 1 is busy tube 1M is not conducting. Resistor R1 is chosen to be much smaller than R2 so that very little potential is applied to the seize lead or to the grid of V1 which remains at cut-off. Striking of 1ROF, however, strikes 2ROF. Assume that outlet 2 is idle so that a potential on its mark lead has struck 2M. Rectifier MR6 is therefore blocked and potential is applied to the seize lead and the grid of V3. V3 therefore conducts to cut off V4 which cuts off H.T. from the odd-numbered tubes to prevent 3ROF striking and stop the hunting. If, on the other hand, hunting stops because of a faulty stage then backward hunt tube STB fires after a delay determined by R and C. STB then marks run backward control lead RB so that hunting takes place through tubes 4ROB-IROB in turn. Second embodiment, Fig. 3. The outlets may be divided into two groups 1 to 4 and N-3 to N. According to whether a marking potential is applied from an outlet in the first or the second group so a forward or a backward start circuit STF or STB is operated. If hunting in the one direction fails to find a marked outlet then EPF or EPB is operated to cause hunting in the reverse direction. If a faulty stage is encountered then hunting in the reverse direction takes place after a predetermined time. This is achieved by applying a start condition over lead ST1 or ST2 to delay circuit DC as well as to STF or STB. After the predetermined time D.C. energizes both start circuits, that one previously energized being ineffective so that hunting takes place in reverse. If simultaneous start conditions are applied to both start circuits it is arranged that one has preference. over the other.

Title: Improvements relating to water softening apparatus
IPC: C02F1/42
Filed: 1929-11-08
Abstract: 342,772. Softening water. UNITED WATER SOFTENERS, Ltd., PEMBERTON, R. T., and LAWRENCE, H. S., Aldwych House, Aldwych, London. Nov. 8, 1929, No. 34152. [Class 46.] Base-exchange water-softening plant comprises a tank containing sufficient salt for a number of regenerating operations, a vessel containing enough brine for one regeneration and valved connections whereby during the softening operation salt solution passes from the salt tank to the brine vessel and the water in the brine vessel passes to the salt tank, but during regeneration the brine vessel is cut off from the salt tank and connected to the hard water supply, so that the water drives the brine out of the brine vessel and forces it through the softening medium. A suitable arrangement is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 9. Hard water from the supply main passes through a pipe 17, valve 18, pipe-19, valve 20 and pipe 21 to a tank 1 containing base-exchange material. Soft water is delivered from the tank 1 through pipe 22, valve 23, pipe 24 and valve 25 to the soft water main 26. Meanwhile brine passes under gravity from a salt tank 4 to a brine vessel 8 through a pipe 14, valve 15 and pipe 16, water from the vessel 8 being driven up a pipe 27 through a valve 28 and pipe 29 into the salt tank 4. For regeneration the valves 18, 25, 15, 28 are turned, so that hard water passes through the valves 18, 28, and pipe 27 into the brine vessel 8, forcing brine out through the pipe 16, valve 15, pipes 43, 19, valve 20 and pipe 21 and through the base-exchange material in the tank 1, the exhausted brine being delivered to waste through the pipe 22, valve 23, pipe 24, valve 25, and pipes 36, 37. The valves 20, 23 can be turned so that an upward back-flush of hard water can be passed through the vessel 1. All the valves may be arranged behind a common operating panel which is provided with a handle 11, Fig. 5, connected by a common connecting-rod 30 and separate links 32 .. 35, to the valves 15, 18, 25, 28, and with a handle 10 for similarly operating the valves 20, 23. An indicator shows whether the valves are in position for water treatment, regeneration or back-flush. The panel is also provided with gauge glasses containing ebonite floats and connected respectively to the tank 4 and vessel 8 to indicate when the salt in the tank 4 needs replenishing and when the vessel 8 is filled with brine. The salt tank 4 has a charging hopper 5, Fig. 3, terminating in hinged flaps 6 which are counterweighted so as to remain closed except when the weighting is overcome by a charge of salt. Instead of being operated manually the valves may be operated by an hydraulic piston controlled by a meter through which water passes to the plant. Or they may be operated electrically under time control, or by an apparatus such as that described in Specification 288,018, [Class 46, Filtering, &c.], controlled by the weight of the whole or part of the water which has passed through the plant.

Abstract: 1,248,247. Telegraphy. SCM CORP. 19 July, 1968 [21 July, 1967 (2)], No. 34635/68. Heading H4P. A desk type peripheral equipment for use with a computer to feed in and receive out numerical information on which the computer will perform arithmetical calculations comprises a unit, Fig. 1 (not shown), having one set of keys 0-9 plus decimal point and a second set (202) for directing the information. Depression of any 0-9 key causes through a linkage a combination of switches to be operated which energize a corresponding number of electromagnets 301a-301c, thus releasing one or more gears 321a-321c which transfer a part of the rotation of a shaft 307 through the gears 306a-306d having numbers of teeth arranged in a binary progression, i.e. 1, 2, 4 &c. to a set of gears, e.g. 351a, each acting as a store and mounted on shaft 337. An interlock actuated either through a linkage or a captive ball arrangement prevents simultaneous depression of more than one key. When all digits of a number have been recorded, a function key, i.e. +, - is depressed, which causes the gears on shaft 337 to simultaneously engage and rotate through intermediate gears printing type characters 503 carried on another shaft 504. After rotation to the appropriate positions, the type characters are held temporarily by a spring-loaded locking bar and a resilient printing roller 534 is moved through an arc to press paper from a feed roll against an endless inking tape and the type characters. The arc of movement of the roller is limited so that the meeting face does not pass below the bottom of the type hence avoiding movement of the paper and consequent smudging.  As the print line is two spaces below an observation window (512), Fig. 1 (not shown), in the unit, a mechanism is included to advance the paper a corresponding amount after each printing operation, and to retract it one space before the next printing operation. The unit may be operated so that information may be received concurrently with the printing operation. A register may be employed to develop binary signals in serial form for feeding into a computer and also receive information from the computer in serial form and convert it into parallel signals to operate the printing mechanism. The unit may be constructed with internal electronic computing and data processing circuits to form a complete unit but such circuits do not form part of the invention.
