IPC: G06K15/04
Filed: 1960-12-02
Abstract: 913,788. Selective printing. ATVIDABERGS INDUSTRIER A.B. Dec. 2, 1960 [Dec. 2, 1959], No. 41647/60. Class 100 (4). [Also in Group XIX] A printing-out device for an electronic register having one register for each character or letter-space position and which are serially fed from pulses from e.g. a computer comprises, a series of type-carriers 7, an electrical hammer mechanism TM, a type-carrier stepping mechanism SM, 16, common to all type-carriers, and individual magnet (VM1 &c.)-operated pawls 18. When the data from the computer has been entered in the decimal registers DR1, DR2 . . . DRn a key K is operated and a multivibrator or pulse generator SG is started and the type-carrier stepping mechanism SM is energized and a pulse is sent to pulse generator PG1 through a conductor 41 and a delay network D1. Energization causes the armature 16 of the stepping mechanism SM to move all individual pawls 18 downwardly. The pulse generator PG1 steps the decimal counter or register DR1 to step one stage, starts pulse generator VG1 and operates individual magnet VM1 and moves pawl 18 into engagement with teeth 8 of the type-bar 7. While VM1 is still energized PG1 sets off PG2 the second register DR2, and second individual magnet VM2 draws its pawl 18 into tooth of the second type bar. After all registers DR1 to DRn have been stepped, the pulse to the generator SG ceases and armature 16, under tension of spring 21, raises all type-bars engaged by the pawls 18 one character position. This is repeated until all type-bars are set whereupon all type-bars are moved to effect impression by the magnet TM, and the magnet RM resets all bars by means of armature 27 common to all type-bars and which carries detent pawls 23.

Title: Process for producing tri- and diphosphates of adenosine and guanosine by fermentation
IPC: C12P19/28
Filed: 1964-10-22
Abstract: Adenosine di- and tri-phosphates and guanosine di- and tri-phosphates are prepared by culturing a bacterium of the Brevibacterium ammoniagenes species in a nutrient medium which contains a carbon source nitrogen source, inorganic salts and natural or organic products containing nitrogen, under aerobic conditions preferably at a temperature from 20 DEG  to 40 DEG  C. in the presence in the nutrient medium of adenine or adenosine or of guanine or guanosine respectively until there has been an accumulation of the di- and tri-phosphates in the medium and thereafter recovering the said phosphates. For the stabilization of the growth of the bacteria, amino acids and vitamins such as biotin, thiamine, pantothenic acid or substances which have the same physiological significance, e.g. b -alanine and coenzyme A may be added.  Suitable carbon sources are carbohydrates such as glucose and hydrolysis products of starch or molasses, suitable nitrogen sources are urea, ammonium chloride and ammonium nitrate, suitable inorganic salts are the potassium phosphates, magnesium sulphate and calcium chloride and suitable natural products containing nitrogen are corn steep liquor, yeast extract, meat extract, peptone, casamino acids and fish solubles. For good yields the concentration of inorganic phosphate added to the medium should be between 0.4% and 1.6% by weight, calculated as PO4. The culturing may comprise a first phase which is carried out in the absence of adenine, adenosine, guanine or guanosine and a second phase which continues at a pH of 5.5 to 7.5 after the addition of any of these compounds to the culture medium.  A neutralizing agent such as aqueous sodium hydroxide may be used to maintain the preferred pH value of the culture medium.

Abstract: 1,089,217. Washing machines. INDUSTRIE A. ZANUSSI. Oct. 27, 1964 [Oct. 29, 1963], No. 43799/64. Heading D1A. A control circuit for an automatic washing machine comprises contacts, 1' for heater 35, 1" for exhaust pump 34, 2' for cold water supply valve 44, 2" for rotation of the clothes receptacle at high speed for spin-drying by motor 39, 3" for the timer motor 37 driving control cams, 4' for the rotation of the clothes receptacle by motor 39 at low washing speed. The motor 39 has terminal 41 for high speed connection and terminals 42, 42' for low speed connection, the latter being controlled by a reversing switch 38 for clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation. Valve 44 is also controlled by a level regulator 36. In operation, after the introduction of the washing, the operator advances the timer manually until the contact 2' is closed to admit cold water through valve 44. After the correct level is reached regulator 36 closes valve 44 and closes contacts, 1' for the heater, 3" for the timer motor and 4' for the low speed operation of the washing motor. This latter is alternately switched on and off during the washing stage to allow periods for both mechanical and chemical action on the clothes. During the "on" periods of the motor rotation is controlled by the reversing switch 38 for rotation first in one direction, a rest period, and rotation in the other direction. The "on" periods of the motor are greater than these "rest" periods during reversals. The heater stays on during most of the washing stage, so that the temperature of the water rises progressively and is not subject to thermostatic control, and is then switched off just before the completion of this stage and exhaust. The temperature reached can be varied by varying the initial manual setting of the timer so that a shorter time of wash corresponds to a lower temperature which are the conditions required for more delicate fabrics. After the washing stage is completed the water is exhausted and spin-drying and rinsing operations carried out, the low speed rotation of the receptacle alternating with high speed rotation, until a final spin-drying operation is performed.
