Title: Translating apparatus
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 1972-04-10
Abstract: 1392852 Electric selective signalling WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 10 April 1972 [14 May 1971] 16393/72 Heading G4H In apparatus for transferring data from an input device to a computer wherein the data (from three sensors), is converted to pulses on channels A, B, C and supplied with spaced timing pulses on a fourth channel (Fig. 3, not shown), counters and latches 70-74 are arranged to count the data pulses for each channel occurring between successive timing pulses, and the count in the latches at the time of occurrence of each timing pulse is transferred to the computer channel-by-channel through driver gates 194-205. Each channel A-C is connected to three 4-bit binary counters (for different binary orders, there being one counter in each of 70-74) and each counter is connected to a latch which follows the count until a control signal (e.g. 136 for latch 82), causes it to hold its count. This count is then transferred to counter select gates 134, 190, 192 (e.g. gate A2 is the lowest-order 2nd-bit gate for channel A), a channel selection circuit 189 (flip-flops 260, 262 and gates 264-268) sequentially enables the counter select gates for each channel in turn (outputs 184, 186, 188), and the data for that channel is transmitted to the computer via the driver gates 194-205 and a line 206. A flip-flop and gating circuit 210-242 acts to reset the counters and latches and the selection circuit, to hold the latch count and to enable the gates under the control of the timing pulses and of signals SFS ... CRS from the computer. The input data may be on magnetic tape or punched cards, or may be entered manually. The transferred data may be printed by the computer, or may be recorded on magnetic tape so that it is in a form suitable for use by a larger computer.

Title: Magnetic device
IPC: G11C19/08
Filed: 1962-04-30
Abstract: 999,312. Magnetic storage devices. K. D. BROADBENT. April 30, 1962 [May 1, 1961], No. 16517/62. Heading H3B. [Also in Division G4] A shifting register comprises a strip of magnetic thin film 34, Fig. 6, having edge portions of higher coercivity than the central portion, the arrangement being stated to prevent the formation of spurious domains by the shift magnetic fields. As shown, the film strip 34 is associated with an input conductor 22, shift conductors 26, 30 alternating in direction along the strip and an output conductor loop 36, the various components being spaced by insulating layers 24, 28, 32, 42 and mounted on a soft glass substrate 20. Film conductors and insulating layers are used, and the required configuration of magnetic, conducting and insulating films may be produced by electrophoresis, electro deposition, silk screening, printing, or vacuum deposition, the magnetic layer being composed of permalloy and the conducting and insulating layers of aluminium and silicon monoxide respectively. The edges of higher coercivity are formed in the magnetic film strip by depositing a hardening element such as copper or aluminium followed by heating, by reduction of thickness of the edge portions or by etching or otherwise roughening the corresponding areas of a substrate on which the magnetic material is to be deposited. Initially the whole of the central portion of the film strip is magnetized in the same longitudinal direction, but when the input conductor is suitably energized a zone of reversed magnetization is established in that part of the film strip adjacent the conductor. This reversed zone is propagated along the strip by alternately energizing the two shift conductors 26, 30, first with a positive pulse and then a negative pulse as described in Specification 857,289. When the zone reaches the output loop 36 an output is induced. A modified construction is mentioned in which each conductor is looped about the film strip. A shift pulse generating circuit is shown in Fig. 9, in which a clock pulse generator 60 controls AND gates 78-84 through cascaded trigger pairs 62, 72, so that a complete operating cycle comprises applying a positive pulse to conductor 26, a positive pulse to conductor 30, a negative pulse to conductor 26 and a negative pulse to conductor 30 in that order, the two outputs of each trigger pair being respectively of high and low potential.

IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1919-07-04
Abstract: 151,389. Murray, J. Erskine-, and Robinson, J. July 4, 1919. Drawings to Specification. Bearings, determining wirelessly.-A directional transmitting aerial is caused to rotate uniformly, the radiation being controlled through a microphone by a gramophone or like instrument in such a way that the audible or modulation frequency varies with the angular position of the aerial. By measuring the pitch of the note of maximum or minimum intensity an observer can determine the bearing of the transmitting station. The gramophone turntable may be geared so as to rotate synchronously with the aerial, a record with a note of varying pitch being used; or the record may be originally inscribed with a uniform note, the speed of the turntable being varied by suitable gearing. The pitch of the sound may be measured by means of a tuning fork or a variable and calibrated low frequency oscillating circuit. In applying the invention to that described in Specification 135,896 in which pairs of signals separated by a short time interval are sent out, the pitch is measured when the members of a pair are of equal intensity. Transmission of signals may take place during only 180 degrees of the rotation of the aerial. The oscillations may be generated by thermionic valve, arc, or other means.

Title: Improvements in coin freed vending machines
Inventor: SEFTON THOMAS
IPC: G07F11/06
Filed: 1967-04-14
Abstract: 1,241,551. Coin freed vending machine. PARRYS AUTOMATIC VENDERS Ltd. 15 July, 1968 [14 April, 1967], No. 17316/67. Heading G4V. The lowermost tray or shelf 106, Fig. 10, of a pile separated by articles of merchandise 105 is horizontally displaced from a support 74 by a coin-freed push-button 40 so as to release its article 105 to a delivery station 102. The trays, Fig. 3, each have a projection 27 and a cut-out portion 28, the cut-out portion being adapted partially to embrace a rail member 104 and to be vertically slidable thereon. The lowermost tray 106 is supported by a plate 97 at the opposite end from the support 74 and is biased by a spring 96 towards the push-button mechanism 40. When a coin 107, Fig. 7, is introduced into a slot 59 in the push-button mechanism 40, the coin is initially supported in the position illustrated and movement of a push-button member 45 is communicated by the coin to engaging surfaces 82 of lugs 81 which are in contact with the edge of the projection 27 on the lowermost tray. Further movement of the member 45 causes the tray 106 to be displaced against the force of the spring 96 until the edges 33 of the cut-out portion have passed over the top edge of the plate 97. As a result, the tray falls releasing its article, the lug portions 33 of the tray engaging behind the plate 97. Just before the tray 106 is freed, the coin 107 drops to a collecting box (not shown). Coin action.-The push-button mechanism 40 includes a cylindrical member 42, fixed to a supporting plate 44, the member 45 being spring biased and slidable on the member 42. The member 45 carries a coin receiving member 55 by means of rods 54. A coin trapping member 67 comprises a pair of spaced pivoted parts supporting one edge of the lowermost tray 106 on the surface of the support 74 and the inserted coin 107 on the surface of a strut 69. Movement of the member 45 and hence the coin receiving member 55 to the left in Fig. 7 is communicated by means of the coin to a plate 75. The plate 75 which carries the lugs 81 slides in guides 76 so that the surfaces 82 engage the tray and displace the tray from the support 74 against the force of the spring 96. When no tray is present, the coin trapping member 67 assumes the position of Fig. 6 (not shown) such that a coin introduced into the slot 59 falls straight through to a reject station (not shown). When the member 45 is returned by the spring 48, a pin 77 is engaged by a projection on the coin receiving member 55, so that the slidable plate 75 is also returned to its initial position. A spring plate 110, coacts with member 45 to close off the coin slot 59 to prevent coin insertion when the push-button is already depressed. In an alternative embodiment an abutting edge of the inserted coin forms the means for displacing the lowermost tray from the support. Fraud preventing.-A leaky non-return air ball valve 51 restricts the return speed of the push-button member 45 in order to prevent double operation of the mechanism.
