Title: Photographic Cameras
IPC: G03B15/04
Filed: 1966-12-29
Abstract: 1,165,690. Photographic flash apparatus. EASTMAN KODAK CO. Dec. 29, 1966 [Jan.4, 1966], No.58049/66. Heading G2A. A photgraphic camera contains a release member 6 for making an exposure, depression of which member causes signal means Fig.5 (not shown) to indicate the presence and number of unused flashbulbs in a multilamp unit attached to, and indexed by, a support 42, there being means responsive to attachment of a unit to reset the signal means. When a multilamp unit is attached to the support 42, a sensing pin 23, and hence a spindle 24, are depressed, thereby pivoting an angle lever 28 which in turn pivots a member 33 to reset counting mechanism 20 to an initial position. Depression of the release member 6 and a push rod 21 pivots a lever 19 so as to advance the counting mechanism 20, thus causing a different signal to appear in an indicator window (16, Fig. 2, not shown). If desired, a multilamp unit of which some flashbulbs have already been used may be attached to support 42, in which case the lever 19 is pivoted manually until the appropriate signal is visible. Indexing of the multilamp unit is effected via the spindle 24 which is connected to the film advancing mechanism of the camera. The counting mechanism may be modified to prevent depression of the member 6 when all four lamps of an attached unit have been fired. In another embodiment Figs. 6, 7 (not shown), the push rod (37) is not rigidly connected to the release member (6), but is only so connected when a flash unit is attached. Also the spindle (24) is only connected to the film advancing mechanism via a clutch (40, (41) when a unit is attached. The counting mechanism is of the type which can only be reset when the signal corresponding to four used bulbs is visible.

Title: Electronic time-pieces
IPC: H03K23/60
Filed: 1971-12-20
Abstract: 1350090 Electronic watches SUWA SEIKOSHA K K 20 Dec 1971 [30 Dec 1970] 59075/71 Heading G3T A battery powered electronic watch comprises a time standard oscillator (16, 384 HZ) feeding a binary frequency divider chain comprising complementary M.O.S. insulated gate field effect transistors operating a drive circuit (not shown) for time indicating, and resetting means utilizing part of the fdivider chain to reset the watch to the correct time. In Fig.3, the time standard signal is applied at terminal 20. When a reset signal P applied at 21 is high (H) the standard signals # o  and # o  in antiphase reach the divider via a NAND gate 23 and inverter 24. Each stage 25 to 32 of the divider is a binary divider without a reset means and comprising a master flip-flop (17) and slave flip-flop (18) as in a known arrangement Fig. 1 (not shown) but modified by replacing NAND gates (11, 15) by inverters. Each stage 33 to 38 is a binary divider circuit as Fig. 2 and provided with a reset means applied to the slave flip-flop 18 at terminal 5. A high (H) signal P 21  (Fig.3) permits the binary divider stages 33 to 38 to carry out a normal dividing function, from 16, 384 HZ down to 1 HZ, and by the action of a half period (¢ D) delay circuit 39 and a NAND circuit 40 there is obtained an output at 22 comprising a low (L) signal of 1/64 sec. width and 1 sec. period. This output is applied to a drive circuit (not shown) for indicating time. With signal P at low (L) level, the inverter 24, the divider chain 25 to 38, the delay circuit 39 and NAND circuit 40 come to a rest state. Power consumption will thus be negligible if the watch is maintained at rest for a long time, although the timing oscillator will continue to operate. Thus to set the time indicated to the correct time, a low level reset signal P is applied at instant t o  Fig.4 (not shown), so that 20, 24, 25-38, 39, 40 come to rest. By means of a mechanism (not shown) the seconds indication is set to 59 secs. Then if P is changed to high level at t 1  upon receipt of a correct time reference signal, there will occur at an instant t 2 , which is a very small fraction of a second after t 1 , a change in the output Q8 of divider stage 33 to high level H. Simultaneously, in divider stage 34 a signal is sent from its master flipflop to its slave flip-flop so that its output Q9 changes to high (H) level, and so on sequentially along the divider chain bringing Q 13  of stage 38 to high level. A low level L signal is produced at 22, of 1/64 sec. duration starting at instant t 2  (less than 1/64 sec from t 1  when high level signal P is restored) and terminating at instant t 3 , so that the correct time in seconds is indicated.

Abstract: 1,215,480. Discharge lamps. SYLVANIA ELECTRIC PRODUCTS Inc. 29 Dec., 1967 [29 Dec., 1966], No. 59214/67. Heading H1D. A high pressure lamp comprising an arc tube 2 arranged within an outer envelope 1 filled with nitrogen, is provided with a barium peroxide getter 34 for absorbing any hydrogen evolved in the outer envelope. Hydrogen is especially deleterious when the arc tube contains mercury and a halogen and may be removed by a getter in the form of a wafer (40, Fig. 2, not shown) of pressed barium peroxide pellets which have been fired in oxygen to sinter them together. This is preferably disposed within two pairs of foraminous plates to protect it from ultra-violet light which decomposes the peroxide, and the completed getter should be disposed in a zone where the temperature is between 150‹ and 427‹ C. The lamp shown includes an arc tube 2 supported at the lower end from a lead in wire 12 by a frame 8 and the upper end by a support 10, both supports being provided with resilient bumpers 26 and 9 which extend to the envelope and prevent leakage if the tube is dropped. The starting electrode 5 is connected in series with a resistance 13 and is connected by a bimetal 22 to the electrode 4 when the lamp is running.

The decks are addressable, stored in trays 11 in a bank 60, and an apparatus is described which brings the desired tray to the first selector under control of a keyboard 10. Selector 8-2 selects from tray 11-2 which holds new cards and selector 8-3 selects from tray 11-3 which holds cards to be refiled, duplicated, copied or updated. Thus all the cards are accessible for search except during the brief periods when they are in the process of being updated, copied &c. The bank 60 (Fig. 2 and Figs. 8, 9, 10, not shown) comprises columns of trays surrounding a tray receiver which carries selected trays to selector 8-1. A high speed motor and a dual speed motor are provided for moving an elevator at high, medium or low speeds to access the desired tray under control of a photodetector. A light beam 273 from source 271 to detector 270 is used to detect whether a card has been successfully found after a search in a deck. A light source 275 and a phototransducer 276 detect whether a card in a deck belongs to another deck when only the deck identifying digits are keyed in and operate a signal light or buzzer. The cards in selectors 8-2, 8-3 can be periodically returned to their decks by selecting each tray in turn, selecting the cards belonging to that tray deck from selectors 8-2, 8-3, and manually inserting them in the tray. Card selection from a tray (Figs. 23A-23E, not shown).-This is disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,478,877. The cards are randomly and vertically stored in a stack, and have a toothed lower edge, selective removal of the teeth representing a BCD code. Cards are selected by selectively raising bars corresponding to the teeth, which bars restrain the lateral movement of the undesired cards. Each card has a ferromagnetic chip in a side face thereof and, when a magnet is moved, the desired cards are shifted slightly laterally. The bars are then dropped, a locking bar engages the undersired cards, and the desired cards are removed from the stack.
