Title: Method of, and self-contained devices for, phasing signals received by a plurality of antennas
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 1965-03-10
Abstract: 1,104,626. Automatic phase control systems; aerials; radio receiving systems. COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE THOMSON HOUSTONHOTCHKISS BRANDT. 10 March, 1965 [10 March, 1964; 8 May, 1964], No. 10226/65. Headings H3A, H4A and H4L. A receiving system for effecting coherent addition of signals received by a number of aerials, giving the effect of a single larger aerial, comprises a receiver associated with each aerial, means for automatically tuning the receivers, and means for bringing the receiver outputs into phase before adding them together. In Fig. 2, two aerials A1 and A2 feed respective receivers R1 and R2 having a common local oscillator OL and the outputs of the receivers on lines 15 and 263 pass to a phase comparison unit 262. In unit 262, Fig. 3a (not shown), the signal on line 263 passes in parallel to a plurality (e.g. 8) of phase shifters providing progressive phase shifts (e.g. of 2#/8), the outputs of the phase shifters passing to respective adding circuits connected to the line 15. The outputs of the adding circuits are rectified and feed respective threshold devices. When one of the threshold devices gives an output the phase shifter 26 is adjusted to the appropriate value, and an output passes through OR gate 2U to unit 2B which stops the frequency scanning of local oscillator OL, thereby automatically tuning the two receivers. Fine phase control is provided by a phase comparator 282 controlling a phase shifter 28 and supplied with the final output signals from the receiver on lines 301 and 302. An adjustable phase shifter # r  compensates for phase-shift due to rotation of the earth or relative movement of the signal source. Delay lines 1L and 2L are controlled automatically by unit 2D according to the direction of the aerials. Automatic gain control operating on the noise level is provided by units 1P and 1G and 2P and 2G. Pulse receiving system.-In Fig. 5 pulse signals received by the aerials are converted to intermediate frequency and pass to respective bandpass filters such as 13. The signal from aerial 1 passes direct to a summing device 30 whereas those from the other aerials pass to modulators, such as 24, where they are modulated respectively with a respective harmonic of a frequency f 2  to produce a single sideband signal which passes to the summing device 30. It is shown that the outputs of all the channels are substantially in phase periodically at a frequency f 2 , thereby giving a maximum output at these instants. These maxima are detected by a detector 60 and a threshold device 70 which operates a switch 40 to allow the output to pass to an integrating filter 50 which supplies the final output. In a modification, Fig. 7 (not shown), the outputs of channels 2 to n pass to a summing unit feeding an electronic selector switch 91 and memory devices, e.g. filters, which control a phasing device 26 arranged in each channel between band-pass filter 23 and an output summing device 30.

Title: Improvements in or relating to collapsible platforms
IPC: B65H5/00
Filed: 1942-08-04
Abstract: 571,464. Printing-machines. MILLER PRINTING MACHINERY CO. Aug. 4, 1942, No. 10878. Convention date, Aug. 9, 1941. [Class 100 (ii)] [Also in Group XXIV] Consists in a collapsable platform particularly applicable to the covering of a gap produced when machines or machine units, normally adjacent one another, are separated and have to be attended to by a workman standing between the machines, e.g. a sheethandling unit movable towards and away from co-operative relationship with a printing press. The uncovered gap would be a source of danger. In a printing press, the sheet-feeding unit 5, Fig. 1, is movable toward and away from the press 2 on rails 7 by a motor 9 and screw 8, connected to the press frame, adjacent each side, by bolts 11 in a shoe 12, Figs. 2, 4, loaded by springs 17 and having in its lower face a projection 14 adapted to engage a V-groove 42 in a bar 22 secured to a plate 18, Fig. 3, which rests on a part 19 of the feeder frame. Each plate has longitudinal slots 20 through which pass freely bolts 21 screwed into part 19. Each bar carries headed pins 23, Fig. 4, which pass through cam slots 26 in a bar 25 which can slide longitudinally and transversely of the bar 22 within the limits of the cam slots. The cam bars 25 have three upwardly projecting cam portions 27 and are arranged so that at all times they abut at their right-hand ends against a part 28, Fig. 2, of the feeder frame. The platform comprises seven boards 30 ... 36 lying when operative on the bars 22. The section 30 is hinged to the press frame at 37 ; the sections 30, 31 ; 32, 33 ; 34, 35 are hinged on their lower faces, and the sections 31, 32 ; 33, 34 ; 35 and 36 on their upper faces, i.e. accordion fashion. The bars 22 which ride on a part 40 of the press frame have limited movement relative to the feeder by virtue of the slot 20. Each of the cams 27 is disposed below and adjacent a joint where the hinge is below. In operation, when the motor 9 is started to draw the feeder towards the press, the part 28 of the feeder frame moves the cam bars 25 to the left, thus causing them to ride on the pin members 23. The rising cams 27 break the platform joints immediately above them and thereby initiate the collapsing. When the part 28 reaches the bars 22, the latter are pushed bodily towards the left and ultimately the platform section 36 is carried along and the whole platform is folded, 29, Fig. 1. Slots 4 in the edges of sections 31 ...34 present interference of the cams with folding.
