Title: Improvements in or relating to pressure wave transmitters and receivers incorporating magneto-strictive devices
IPC: B06B1/02
Filed: 1932-06-10
Abstract: 403,119. Subaqueous signalling and echo-sounding apparatus. MARCONI INTERNATIONAL MARINE COMMUNICATION CO., Ltd., Marconi House, Strand, and HINTON, N. P., 57, Broughton Avenue, Finchley, both in London. June 10, 1932, No. 16475. [Class 118 (ii).] In a subaqueous pressure wave signalling, echo-sounding, or similar system wherein the transmitting or receiving device comprises a magnetostrictive body having windings arranged in a tuned circuit, the circuits are arranged so that the long leads connecting the device to the controlling or receiving equipment are without effect on the tuning of the circuit. In the system shown in Fig. 1, the energizing winding L of the magnetostrictive body is arranged in the tuned circuit L, C which is connected over leads l<1>, l<2> respectively to the receiving amplifier V and the battery B for controlling transmission. A transmitting key K controls a relay R, located near the tuned circuit L,C, over lead l<3>, the contact of the relay being arranged in the lead l<2> so as to control the energization of the tuned circuit. The relay R is adapted to isolate the lead l<2> from the circuit L, C so as to prevent alteration of tuning. Compensation for different lengths of lead l<1> is effected by the tuned circuit L<1>, C<1>. An alternative method of exciting the tuned circuit involves the provision of a condenser of large capacity connected in series with the condenser C and charged and discharged under the control of a key at the control point ; the large condenser may be provided at the control point. In these arrangements the large capacity prevents alteration of the tuning by the connecting leads. The receiving equipment may be protected against the transmitted impulses by a large impedance Z and a spark gap or oppositely connected diodes connected across the receiving circuit. The Provisional Specification states that the transmitting coil may be excited by damped wave trains set up by a spark gap and fed through a transformer. Specifications 402,123,402,828,402,829,402,830; and 402,831, [Group XXXIX], are referred to.

Abstract: 1437883 Ticketing system INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 17 April 1974 16749/74 Heading G4H A ticketing system comprises means for building up sets of data and means for printing a built-up set of data in the form of a ticket. As described, a railway ticketing system comprises a central processing unit 1, local contollers 5 (each with a store 8) and booking office units 9 &c. containing data entry and display units 11 and a printer 12. Unit 1 has a disc store 2 containing data "pages", including combinations of pairs of station names, routes, valid dates and fare tables, and a data input terminal 3 for updating store 2. Each controller contains a subset of the stored data, viz. that which will be most used by the attached units 9. The pages are arranged in a tree structure, selection of items in a page causing the selection of new pages in the next level of the tree; a displayed page at a unit 9 may be derived directly from the unit's controller, or it may be requested from unit 1. Entry and display unit 11 contains keys arranged next to words to be displayed, as in Fig. 6 which shows the first displayed page. When a ticket (e.g. 2nd class return to Weymouth) is requested (e.g. at Winchester), the booking office clerk operates the TICKET and FROM HERE keys. The next page displays the ticket format at the top (blank in Fig. 6) with FROM WINCHESTER, and TO A, TO B, . . . below (Fig. 7, not shown). The clerk then presses the key by TO W, whereupon all stations beginning with W are displayed below the ticket format (Fig. 8, not shown). The TO WEYMOUTH key is then pressed and the Fig. 6 display returns, when the 2 CL RETURN key is pressed. The ticket format section finally contains FROM WINCHESTER, TO WEYMOUTH, 2 CL RETURN and the fare. A PRINT key is now operated, and printer 12 receives the ticket data and prints the ticket. The data entry unit may contain "local subset" keys LS each causing the display of ticket data corresponding to the tickets most often requested (e.g. 2nd class cheap day return to London), in which case the data does not need to be compiled step by step (Fig. 9, not shown). A description is also given of the local controller 5 (Fig. 2, not shown) and its processing unit (Fig. 3, not shown), and of the data format employed.

Abstract: 379,777. Protective cut-out arrangements. TRIGGS, W. W., 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.-(Ohio Brass Co. ; Mansfield, Ohio, U.S.A.) June 10, 1931, No. 16876. [Class 38 (v).] An arrangement for diverting small amounts of energy from a transmission line to operate relays and the like, when required, comprises a translating device having one terminal thereof connected to the several conductors through capacity-couplings which are adapted to maintain the potential of the terminal at a given value so long as the potentials of the conductors remain normal, but to change the potential of that terminal and affect current through the translating device when the potential of a conductor departs from normal. The unearthed side of the primary 14 of a step-down transformer is connected to the lines 10 through condenser couplings 11, 12, and the secondary 16 is arranged, when energized, to trip the circuit-breaker. The midpoint of the transformer winding 19 energizing the lines 10 is earthed, so that normally the conductor 13 is without voltage, but if a line 10 goes to earth, the voltage on the conductor 13 rises and the winding 14 is energized. 15 is a lightning arrester. In Fig. 3, the transformer 34 is connected to the neutral 27 of a net comprising condensers 31, 32, 33 connected to the respective lines. Impedances may be used in the secondaries of the transformers so as to vary their output in magnitude and phase. In another form, Fig. 7, relays 72, 73, 74 are energized by potential windings from transformers 75, 76, 77 connected to the respective lines 61, 62, 63 through condenser couplings 78, and by current windings energized by current transformers 71, 72, 73, each relay controlling its own breaker 64, 65, 66. The current windings have a neutral lead to earth in which is the current winding of a further relay 87 controlling the breaker in the lines A, B, C. The potential winding of the relay 87 is energized by a transformer 84 in the neutral -of the potential windings of transformers 75, 76, 77.
