Title: Data Processing Machines
IPC: B41J11/46
Filed: 1967-09-25
Abstract: 1,153,768. Statistical apparatus. KIENZLE APPARATE G.m.b.H. 25 Sept., 1967 [28 Sept., 1966], No. 43522/67. Heading G4M. Feeding of an account card 1, having data recorded on a magnetic strip 2, to position the next available printing line 4 opposite print wheels 3 is effected in dependence on whether the end of the magnetic recording is detected by head LS before or after photo-cell ZF detects the first mark 8 denoting the position of the last printed line-it being assumed that ZF, LS and the printer 3 are aligned. Insertion of a card is detected by ZF, resets a counter Z (not shown) and energizes motor M in the forward direction so that rollers 17, 18 drive the card into the machine. If LF detects the last printed line before LS detects the end of the magnetic recording, counter Z starts to count timing pulses generated by slotted disc 23 and photocell ZT in synchronism with the line feed, until ZF stops the motor M on detection of the mark 8. The state of the counter is stored. Should ZF detect mark 8 after the end of the magnetic recording has been reached, the motor M is stopped immediately, with motorM stopped, Z is interrogated. If, as in the first case above, Z is not at zero, M is energized in the reverse direction and Z is counted down until it reaches zero, the card 1 then being in the correct position for printing the next line, but if, as in the second case above, Z is already at zero this indicates that card 1 is in the correct position and no further feeding takes place. An "eject and write" command is issued from the associated calculating machine when the updated information has been computed and the following operations take place. If the contents of the counter store are not zero, they are transferred to counter Z and the card is fed forward with Z being counted down to zero, whereupon feeding is reversed and head LS is activated to write the updated data. If the counter store is at zero card 1 is ejected and head LS activated immediately. A more practical system which allows for longitudinal spacing of printer 3 from ZF and LS and takes into account the normal length of data recorded on strip 2 is also described.

Abstract: 975,834. Parametric amplifiers. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Dec. 6, 1961 [Dec. 27, 1960], No. 43637/61. Heading H3B. In a parametric amplifier, tuned stubs are added on either side of the variable reactance element to prevent intermixing of the signal and pump frequencies by making the stub on the signal side of the variable reactance present a shortcircuit at the pump frequency and an open-circuit at the signal frequency, and vice versa on the other side of the variable reactance. As shown (Figs. 1, 2), the signal line 14 and pump line 16 are coupled by variable reactance elements 18, 18<SP>1</SP>, stubs 20, 22 of length #p/2 being attached to the signal line 14 to present a short-circuit to the pump voltage whose wavelength is #p, and a high impedance to the signal voltage whose wavelength #s is equal to 2#p, and stubs 26, 28, 30, 36 are attached to the pump line 16 of such a length as to present a short-circuit to the signal voltage and a high impedance to the pump voltage. The spacing between the variable reactance elements 18, 18<SP>1</SP> is made equal to #p/4 to provide high amplification of the signal voltage in the forward direction, and no amplification in the reverse direction. The tuned stubs may be of different lengths to make the high impedance termination appear as an inductive or capacitive reactance, as required. Specification 793,799 is referred to.

Abstract: 977,161. Pickling metal sheets. C. OTTO & CO. G.m.b.H. Nov. 22, 1962 [Nov. 22, 1961], No. 44276/62. Heading C7E. In a pickling process the metal sheets are retained in a vertical position and spaced apart in a pickling basket by means of teeth at the bottom of the basket and bolts with tapered ends which are inserted between the sheets and which are supported for free axial movement relative to the teeth. After the pickling process the metal sheets are moved vertically away from the teeth to form a closed packet which is then discharged as a horizontal pack of sheets. The process is carried out in an arrangement comprising a loading device 1, an endless track 2 on which are suspended the pickling baskets which are treated in the baths 4, vibrated and then sprayed with regenerated pickling liquid as they are lifted out of the baths. The baskets are finally discharged in a discharging device 5, Fig. 1. The pickling basket comprises two central columns 12 and a hook 13 for suspending the columns to the track 2. A beam 10 with arms 11 is connected to the lower end of the columns and height adjustable holding means 14 and holding bolts 24 with tapered ends are located at the upper end of the columns. The height of means 14 is adjusted by bolts 14a, Fig. 3b. The pickling basket is positioned on a carriage 17, Fig. 4a, and the metal sheets are stacked on tables 16 mounted on the carriage. The sheets which are fed individually to a height adjustable roller conveyer 18, roll down to a stop 19, are brought into a vertical position by means of a lever 20 and are then charged into the arm 11 of the pickling basket by lowering the conveyer 18 and stop 19. The sheets are positioned between the teeth 22 and 23 of the arm 11, Fig. 5a and the upper part of the sheets abut the bolts 24. The carriage 17 is then moved back by one pitch of the teeth on arm 11, and the arm 27 connected to the carriage releases the bolts 24 which drop between the loaded sheets. With the carriage in the new position the loading is then repeated. After pickling the loaded basket is deposited on a discharging table and driven lifting rollers raise the sheets above the teeth in arms 11, Figs. 7a and 7b (not shown), and the sheets are finally discharged as a horizontal pack on a roller conveyer.
