Title: Storage for information items of different length
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 1968-05-09
Abstract: 1,207,211. Data-storage. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 9 May, 1968 [11 May, 1967], No. 21999/68. Heading G4C. [Also in Division H4] A data storage device is divided into two sections, each adapted to store data items of different maximum lengths and includes a checking device which determines from a received address, which section is involved and modifies the address in a manner appropriate to that section. The arrangement described is used for translating abbreviated dialling codes into equipment numbers or directory numbers. Each subscriber is allotted say ten storage locations which the subscriber can individually select by dialling a code signal followed by a single digit address. The locations are divided into two groups, one group of say six locations, each of which is adapted to store a four digit (sixteen bit) translation for a local call, and another group of say four locations, each adapted to store up to fifteen digits (sixty bits) for a trunk call. Each of the locations of the later group are in fact divided into sub-locations of size equal to those of the first group and the sub-locations may have consecutive addresses or may be interspersed with each other. Circuitry is outlined which compares the address digit dialled with a reference address to determine whether the location of the translation required is in the first or second group and to give the full storage address of the translation or in the case of a translation stored in a plurality of sub-locations to produce in series the addresses of those sub-locations. These addresses are sequentially generated from a earlier address by adding a constant characterizing the distance (address spacing) between successive sub-locations. This constant may be "one" of the sub-locations of the storage location required are contiguous, or equal to the number of sub-locations in a location, if the sub-locations of different locations are uniformly interspersed. A further comparator compares each sub-location address with an end of location address and responds on identity to terminate the generating sequence.

Filed: 1972-05-11
Abstract: 1359926 Particle spectrometers VARIAN ASSOCIATES 11 May 1972 [17 May 1971] 22058/72 Heading H1D An induced electron emission spectrometer comprises a cathode 13 and an annular anode 12 arranged to be bombarded by electrons from the cathode producing X-rays for irradiating a sample 16 from which photo-electrons are emitted and analysed in a conventional analyser 17, 18, 19, 21, 22. In order to distinguish Auger electrons from photo-electrons the anode 12 is made of two materials, e.g. magnesium and aluminium either as two semiannular segments (23, 24), Fig. 2 (not shown), or two concentric annuli (27, 28), Fig. 3 (not shown), only one of the materials being used at a time, the Auger lines being distinguishable since they will be unshifted by a change in the anode material being used. In the case of semi-annular anode segments the cathode 13 is correspondingly divided into semi-annuli which are independently energizable. When concentric anode annuli are used the electrons are directed to the appropriate material by changing the potential on a focussing electrode 14.

Filed: 1961-06-20
Abstract: 920,822. Taximeters. HALDEX A.B. June 20, 1961 [June 22, 1960], No 22314/61. Classes 106 (1) and 106 (3). The first impulse to an electromagneticallyoperated counter in a taximeter is sent after a predetermined number of rotations of a snail cam, each subsequent rotation of the snail cam sending a further impulse. Initially a bell-crank lever 19 is held in clockwise position by engagement with a lug 21. When cam disc 11 is rotated by clockwork or by motion of the vehicle and lever 9 falls from the high point the lever 19 is swept over the lug 21 so that its end 20 falls between a predetermined pair of teeth on a ratchet-wheel 36. At each rotation of cam disc 11 the end 20 of lever 19 advances the ratchet-wheel 36 one step until, after a predetermined number of steps, it falls into a larger gap 43 to engage the end of a lever 23 pivoted on lever 9. The other end of the lever 23 closes contacts 4, 5 to energize electromagnet 2 to advance the counter, Fig. 5. The counter swings lever 31 counter-clockwise to lift the end of lever 19 out of engagement with the end of lever 23 whereby the contacts 4, 5 reopen. When the cam disc 11 again lifts lever 9 to its high point levers 19 and 23 re-engage so that a further impulse is sent to the counter for each subsequent rotation of cam disc 11. Resetting is effected by mechanism (not shown) which engages projection 15 on lever 9 to give it a larger movement, ratchet-wheel 36 being set to its predetermined initial position by mechanism not shown. This position corresponds to the initial distance for which a minimum charge is made.

[Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv)] [Also in Group XVII] Uniting by fusion.- In making singlewalled barrels or other metal containers, a bung-reinforcing patch is welded inside the container by applying a welding flame to the outside surface of the container. The barrel, which consists of two end cup-shaped sections 10, 11 and a central annular section 12 formed with circumferential corrugations 14, 15, has the central ring formed by punching with a bung opening 16, and at the same time with an embossed recess 18. The patch piece 17 is stamped in slightly concave-convex form with its edge portion contoured to make uninterrupted contact with the inside surface of the section 12 about the bung opening, the edge of the part 17 extending to a line inwardly from a shoulder 19 on the section 12, Fig. 4. At the same time an opening 21 is punched through the centre of the patch into which is fusion-welded a bung liner 22. Over the liner is placed a bung reinforcement 22a which is welded to adjacent portions of the parts.. The centre ring 12 and the patch 17 are then welded to each other by applying an atomic hydrogen torch to the outside of the ring at the outline of the recess. The welds of the patch to the centre ring and to the bung liner are then tested for leaks by passing air under pressure through the bung opening 16 around the liner 22 into the space between the patch and centre ring. The protruding end of the bung liner is then pressed against the outside surface of the ring 12 and fusion-welded thereto. The end portions of the barrel are then fusion-welded to the centre ring. In order to weld the patch plate to the centre ring around the edge of the recess the patch plate with its bung reinforcement and liner is placed on a block 26, Fig. 3, mounted on a jig 24 which is tiltable and also revoluble so that a substantially horizontal welding position 39 is progressively presented to the atomic hydrogen torch 30. The block is provided with an annular groove 29 and passages 42 for the supply of hydrogen to the point so as to prevent oxidation. The ring 12 is placed over the patch at the recessed portion and clamped on the block by a member 27 through a nut 33 and a stud 31. A clamp yoke 28 pivoted at 34 is then brought over to clamp the edges of the centre ring to the block, the yoke being slotted to engage a hinged bolt 35 and nut 38. The torch is then applied to the outline of the recess at 19, between the parts 27, 28, so as to melt the part 12 to fill up the groove 9 and unite it to the edge of the patch. The parts may be of stainless steel, except the bung reinforcement 22a, which does not communicate with the interior of the barrel and may be made of aluminium, steel, &c.
