Title: Input interface arrangement from analog functions to a digital computer
IPC: G06F13/22
Filed: 1966-08-05
Abstract: 1,127,220. Data transfer. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 5 Aug., 1966 [10 Aug., 1965], No. 35128/66. Heading G4A. The invention is a data transfer circuit. Referring to the part of Fig. 2 shown, when the programme of a digital computer (shown as a long vertical box on the right) is interrupted because D.C. analogue inputs F 1  . . . F n  are required to be sampled, it supplies (a) a 6-bit address y 2  to address register AR to select the first input to be sampled, this address also setting flip-flop 38 via OR 37, (b) a code over lines 54 to programmer 26 to indicate in effect how many consecutive inputs are to be sampled, (c) a signal over line 43 to set flip-flop 44. The programmer 26 activates the sampler over line 27 so that the sampled analogue value is amplified 29, digitized 30 and stored 31. The programmer 26 also sends a ready signal over line 33 which is gated 39, 41 to an input MI of the computer to interrupt its programme and cause it to store in its memory a word comprising fields INM, Y 1 , Y 2  gated at 46 from a fixed store 34 and the address register AR as shown. The computer now sets flip-flop 57 over line 56 and resets flip - flop 44 over line 55. The first digitized value, stored at 31, is gated in parallel to the computer via 59, and a ready signal 33 accompanies it via 39, 42 to input MII of the computer to interrupt it again, the value being stored in the computer memory at the address specified by the already-stored fields Y 1 , y 2  under control of INM (already-stored). Subsequent sampled values are transferred similarly, with incrementing of the contents of AR and the address Y 1 , Y 2  stored in the computer. Signals OCP 3  from the computer reset the system. Similar arrangements are provided for sampling A.C. analogue inputs, these being converted to D.C. form before digitization. The analogue inputs may come from a flight simulator and digital outputs of the computer may be converted to analogue form and applied to the simulator. Computer output may also go to magnetic tape and teleprinters.

Abstract: 1,022,637. Gripping forks for lift trucks. CRAIG ALFORD Ltd. Sept. 14, 1962, No. 35129/62. Heading B8H. Tines of a gripping fork adapted to be inserted into spaces in the bottom row of a stack of articles such as bricks are each provided with rotatably mounted grippers which are released from their inoperative positions and fall into gripping engagement with the articles of the bottom row when the fork is lifted and engages the bottom surface of the second row of articles. As shown, the fork comprises tines 1 pivotally mounted on a shaft 4 attached to a support 5 on a truck. Control rods 12 are rotatably supported in bearings on each side of the inner tines and on the inner sides of the outer tines and each rod 12 is coupled by a rod 11 to arms 10 secured to a shaft 7 rotatably supported by the tines. Plates 8 secured to the shaft 7 are pivotally connected by a shaft 9 to the support 5 so that when the tines are raised to engage a load, the tines pivot about the shaft 4 causing rotation of the shaft 7 and upward movement of the rods 11 thereby rotating the control rods 12. The grippers 2 comprise arms 16 rotatably mounted on shafts 14 and provided with extensions 17 each having a concave upper surface which is engagable by a projection 13 secured to the associated control rod 12. In operation, when the tines are raised to engage the row of articles above the bottom row of the stack the control rods 12 rotate and move the projections 13 out of engagement with the extensions 17 whereupon the arms 16 fall into gripping engagement with the bottom row of articles. On setting down a stack, the tines are rotated in the opposite direction on the shaft 4 thereby rotating the control rods 12 and causing inward movement of the projections 13 which return the arms 16 to their inoperative position. The downward rotation of the tines about the shaft 4 is limited by a spring 19.

Abstract: 774,181. Measuring fluid flow. ELECTROFLO METERS CO., Ltd. March 18, 1955 [Dec. 18, 1953], No. 35360/53. Class 69 (1). A fluid duct having two pressure tappings for measuring the rate of fluid flow through the duct for control purposes has an abrupt bend and change in cross - sectional area, immediately below which point one of the tappings is located, the other being near the delivery point. Fig. 2 shows a duct 1, 6 for delivery of air to a coal-pulverizing mill, Fig. 5, showing possible locations for the tappings 8 and 7, the first, 8, being just downstream of the bend and change in cross-sectional area between the duct sections 1 and 6, and the second, 7, near the end of section 6. While the side walls 15 and 16 diverge (Fig. 5), the top wall of section 6 slopes downwardly so that the duct section becomes flatter and wider, the crosssectional area in fact decreasing towards tapping 7. Instead of being located on the top wall of the section 6, the tapping points 7 and 8 may be located on one of the side walls. Hot air is supplied via branch duct 2 under control of damper 3, and cold air via branch 4 and damper 5. The static pressure at 7 may be regulated automatically by damper 3, and the differential pressure between 7 and 8 used for control of the fluid flow.

[Class 83 (iii).] A work-holder for milling &c. machines to hold plates such as hook-plates, ribbed plates &c., for securing railway rails comprises a base a having a. number of longitudinal ribs b, each of which is - provided with a series of projections c. The plates to be gripped lie between the ribs and are pressed upwards against the projections by means of fluid pressure pistons located in cylindrical apertures e in the base a so as to expose the upper faces of the plates for traversing under a milling cutter &c. The apertures e are arranged in groups interconnected by passages g so that admission of fluid to an opening d will actuate all the pistons in that group. Work pieces may be inserted in some groups whilst those in other groups are being operated upon. The distance f, Fig. 3, between the projections and pistons is made large enough to allow the work to be inserted obliquely from any point along the work-holder, or from the ends. All the work-pieces may be operated upon simultaneously by means of a number of milling-cutters arranged side by side or the cutters may operate on different..rows as they are moved to and fro. In a modified holder constructed as a turret the base a, Fig. 6, is indexable about the axis of a shaft l, the projections c, c<1> being arranged on each side of the work on members o attached to the base by screws n. The work r is pressed against the projections by pistons k, the passages g for admitting the pressure fluid being separate on each side of the base to allow work to be changed on one side whilst another piece is being operated upon on the other side. The milling-cutter for producing the groove h, Fig. 6, in the plate r may have a radius s so that it can be used for operating on both the forward and return strokes on workpieces located on opposite sides of the base a.

Abstract: 1,213,372. Borosilicate glass. E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO. 29 July, 1968 [31 July, 1967], No. 36152/68. Heading ClM. Borosilicate glass essentially free of alkali and alkaline earth metals is made by a method comprising heating an intimate mixture consisting of from 83 to 99À7% by weight of colloidally subdivided, amorphous silica and from 0-3 to 17% by weight of boric oxide or a source of boric oxide to provide such percentage of boric oxide, e.g. boric acid or ammonium borate, at a temperature of from 500‹ to 900‹ C. The glass contains a maximum of 0-05% by weight of alkali and alkaline earth metals. The ultimate particle diameter of the amorphous silica is less than 0-50 micron. One or more compounds which are thermally decomposable to silica or boric oxide or both and to volatile by-products can be used to form the silica-boric oxide mixtures. The time of thermal treatment can vary from one minute at the upper end of the temperature range to as much as 200 hours at the lower end. Low final temperatures between 500‹ C. and 800‹ C. yield soft to gritty powders whereas final temperatures higher than 800‹ C. produce granules or consolidated glass masses depending on the amount of B 2 O 3  present. The powders are used for forming glass fibres, laboratory apparatus, telescope mirror blanks and for sealing glasses.
