Patent EP-0254163-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SHIELDS CHARLES E
IPC: H01R43/01
Filed: 1987-07-10
Abstract: There is disclosed herein an improved machine for applying electrical connectors to electrically con­ductive cable, such as multi-conductor flat cable. The machine includes a pair of opposed tool members, each of which includes a shelf-like recess for receiving a con­nector portion. The cable is positioned between the tool members which are advanced toward each other for staking the connector body portion to the cable and receiving the connector cap to the connector body, and thus securing the connector to the cable. 
     In each tool member the shelf-like recess is formed from a shelf which is slidably mounted to the tool member and biased to an outward position. When the shelf engages the cable and other tool member, it retracts and the tool member urges the connector onto the cable. Upon retraction of the tool member, the shelf is biased to its extended position.

Abstract: A data processor includes a data bus of N bits, an address bus of 2N bits, a memory coupled to the address bus so that a necessary information can be read from a location indicated by the address transmitted through the address bus, and first and second instruction address registers coupled to the address bus for respectively storing a less significant portion and a more significant portion of the address of an instruction to be read from the memory. An arithmetic and logic unit is coupled to the data bus and capable of adding the content of the first instruction address register and the offset contained in a relative address branch instruction so as to output the result of addition to the address bus as the lower N bits of the branch destination address. A control circuit is coupled to the arithmetic and logic unit so as to generate an increment/decrement signal on the basis of the result of addition by the arithmetic and logic unit. An increment/decrement is coupled through the data bus to the second instruction address register and controlled by the increment/decrement signal so as to increment the content of the second instruction address register when the increment signal is generated and to decrement the content of the second instruction address register when the decrement signal is generated, whereby the incrementer/decrementer outputs the incremented/decremented data to the address bus as the higher N bits of the branch destination address.

Title: Process for the radio broadcasting of digital signals, particularly of computer  programs and data, and process and apparatus for the reception of said signals
Inventor: COMINETTI MARIO DR
IPC: H04H20/91
Filed: 1987-11-25
Abstract: The radio broadcasting process comprises the following steps: 
- dividing the sequence of characters to be broadcast into blocks constituted by a preset number of characters; 
- prefixing a synchronization character and a prefix having a fixed number of characters to each of said blocks so as to constitute a package of characters to be broadcast, the characters of the prefix comprising a sequence identifier (PA), the overall number (N) of packages which form the sequence, and the progressive number (I) of the package in the sequence; 
- converting the characters of the various packages in succession into 10-bit serial form, with one start bit, one stop bit and eight data bits, transmitted in synchronous succession; 
- encoding said synchronous succession of serial characters in a differential two-phase form; and 
- modulating the differential two-phase signal thus obtained on a carrier or subcarrier for broadcasting. 
     For the reception of said radio-broadcast signals, the invention provides an apparatus comprising a receiver   adapted to demodulate the broadcast signal, a digital computer adapted to process a succession of serial characters divided into packages as described above, and a connecting interface between the output of said receiver and the serial input of said computer. 
     The interface comprises:
     a) A bit clock signal generator device (10, 12), adapted to detect the mid-bit transitions of the differential two-phase signal to produce a clock signal which is synchronized with the frequency of said signal;   b) a two-phase decoder comprising an EXOR gate (14) driven by said differential two-phase signal and by said clock signal to provide in output a differential signal; and   c) a differential decoder comprising an EXOR gate (16) having an input driven by said differential signal and a delay circuit (18) driven by said differential signal, its output driving a second input of said EXOR gate, to provide in output a digital signal.

Abstract: An electric hoist (1) contains a housing in which an electric motor (2) with a sliding armature (12) as well as a reduction gearing (3) driven by the electric motor (2) are arranged. The output shaft (28) of the gearing (3) actuates a driving device (39) for a lifting mechanism. An overload slip clutch (4) is provided in the drive line between the electric motor (2) and the output shaft (28), which overload slip clutch (4) has two friction-clutch members preloaded in frictional connection with one another, of which one is coupled to the motor (2) and the other is coupled to the output shaft (28). In addition, a brake device (5) is provided in order to brake the output shaft (28) via the gearing (3) when the motor (2) is switched off. So that the slipping moment of the overload slip clutch (4) can be set independently of the brake force of the brake device (5), the brake device (5) is connected to that part of the drive line which lies between the slip clutch (4) and the output shaft (28). The brake device (5) is actuated by sliding of the armature (12) when the motor current is switched off or on. <IMAGE>
