Title: Storage and retrieval control apparatus and method
Inventor: JONES JAMES ROBERT
IPC: G07F5/22
Filed: 1970-04-29
Abstract: 1320521 Juke box WURLITZER CO 29 April 1970 20637/70 Heading G5R In apparatus for controlling access to an array of information carrying members, e.g. records or tape cassettes in juke boxes or reels of microfilm, the number of the member selected by pushbutton is initally stored as a number in one or more flip-flop buffer stores from which it is transferred first to an end-around shift register where the number is stored as a position in the register and thence to a further store in which the number is compared with that in a counter fed with pulses generated as scanning means scan the member array to stop the scanning process at the selected member when the numbers coincide. In the juke box arrangement described access is arranged at a main or a number of remote points at which selection apparatus 16, 24, is readied when a credit indication is received from a coin-operated credit accumulator 20, 21. Selection is by alpha-numeric push-button and appears as a number stored in a flip-flop buffer store at the selection point. The presence of a selection at a remote point is detected by scanner 18 via which the number selected is transferred by counter and comparison means to a further buffer store associated with control unit 14. The control unit acts to gate the number in the further store or that in the buffer store at the main selection point to a main input buffer store in the storage and read-out unit 12. In this unit clock pulses are fed to an endaround shift register and to a pair of counters. When the count in one of the counters agrees with the number in the input buffer store the end flip-flop in the register is marked but the feed of clock pulses is continued until the register returns to its initial position and the counters to zero. By this means the number is stored as the position of the marked flip-flop in the register. When an output buffer store is free the clock pulses are again applied to the register and counters and when the marked stage reaches an end of the register a signal is generated which transfers the count in one of the counters to this output buffer stage. The scanning process is now commenced and by comparison stages the number is compared with that developed in a counter fed with a pulse each time a stored record is scanned, the process being stopped at the required record when the numbers agree.

Abstract: 1380622 Passenger conveyers GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO 3 May 1972 [4 June 1971] 20645/72 Heading B8A A passenger conveyer comprises a passenger supporting belt 6 flanked by vertical belts 62 driven at the same speed as the belt 6, and handles 73 which extend across, and are driven at the same speed as, the belt 6 so as to prevent movement of passengers along the belt. The belt 6 forms a high-speed belt of a walkway 2 extending between fixed platforms 3, 4. The walkway also includes a first accelerating belt 28 which overlaps a second, faster, accelerating belt 29 overlapping the belt 6 which in turn overlaps a first decelerating belt 39 overlapping a second, slower, decelerating belt 40. The belt 6 is driven and supported by a belt 8. The ends of the walkway 2 are flanked by stationary balustrades supporting covers 94 overlying the belts 62 which are guided by rollers 67 engaging projections 69 on the belts 62. The top of each belt 62 engages a series of saddles 75 carrying rollers 79 running along guide tracks 77, 78 which are raised adjacent return rollers 60 for the belt 62 so as to lift the saddles clear of the belts 62. An elbow portion 74 of each handle 73 is pivoted to each saddle 75, one end of the handle 73 carrying a roller 86 guided by tracks 88, 89 which, adjacent the return rollers 60, diverge from the tracks 77, 78 guiding the saddles. Thus, the handles pivot links 96 interconnecting the elbow portions 74 causing the handles 73 to move closer together. In operation the handles are in a retracted position adjacent the first accelerating belt 28 but are extended over the second accelerating belt 29, this pivoting causing the handles to become more widely spaced and so accelerate with respect to the belts 28, 29.
