Filed: 1973-05-22
Abstract: 1415238 Endless conveyers BUTZ ENG CORP 22 May 1973 [1 Feb 1973] 24426/73 Heading B8A A conveyer system which may be used for sorting parcels comprises an endless track 40 formed of elements 39 secured together and supported on structural members 36, 38, 42 to form a two-level system. The track 40 supports an endless assembly of carriages 56 each having pairs of castor wheels 72 and guide roller means 146. Pivotally mounted for lateral discharge are trays 82 which are controlled by electric actuators 92. These may be energized by means of spring-urged contacts 212 which are engageable with electrified metal strips 218 secured to the track 40. The carriages 56 are connected by universal couplings 80 of which tongues 116 are adjustably secured to the rear of each carriage. Drive and braking for the carriages is provided by one or more driven chain devices 44 each having a pair of chains 176 provided with friction pads 188 engageable with friction strips 194 secured to the undersides of the carriages 56. Braking results when a loaded carriage tends to accelerate down an inclined portion of the track 40 but the drive counteracts this. The speed of drive motor 156 may be variable or constant. Control of the actuators 92 may be manual or automatic and the trays 82 may be discharged into shoots 46 on either side of the track 40. By horizontally spacing the strips 218, their polarity may be reversed as the contacts 212 move with the carriages 56, the actuators 92 being moved to pivot the trays 82 to a discharge or normal position. In Fig. 8 (not shown) a second pair of trays (224) above the trays (82) is operated independently or in unison. Non-pivoting receptacles may be provided on the carriages which are then discharged by external means.

Abstract: 481,363. Preparing peat. TESTRUP, N., GRAM, T., TOMTER, A., and TECHNOCHEMICAL LABORATORIES, Ltd. Sept. 9, 1936, No. 24576. [Class 50] Air-dried peat is prepared in lumps &c. by spreading a slurry of peat obtained from ditch or excavation cuttings over in adjoining drying area and allowing the layer to break into elements, the disintegration and. spreading being effected in a single operation by a highspeed rotary member. After contraction of the material and formation of a crust the pieces arc turned over for further drying and afterwards harvested, e.g. as by ridging and conveying into heaps along transport lines as described in Specification 412,169. Or if the scattering is regulated to produce a layer of, e.g. only an inch thick, no inversion is necessary. To facilitate the breaking up of the material into regular pieces a wheel or drum impressing a rectangular pattern may be run over the surface before drying. One form of inverting appliance comprises a carriage k with a kicking member driven by chain gearing k<2> from the wheels. A blade k<3> and its frame are oscillated through cranks k<7> pivotally connected to dependent members k<4> of the frame. Apparatus as described in Specification 455,609 may be used for the excavating, disintegrating, and scattering operations.

Title: Facsimile transmission
IPC: H04N1/419
Filed: 1974-06-06
Abstract: 1466281 Data transmission; facsimile systems HASLER AG 6 June 1974 [8 June 1973] 25283/74 Headings H4P and H4F In a facsimile system, particularly incorporating redundancy reducing coding, each picture line received is tested for errors, which if found, is scrapped and the previous line already reproduced is duplicated on the next line position. A code word EOL is transmitted after the end of each line and on receipt of each EOL word, a test is made to ascertain whether the sum of picture points since the previous EOL word, derived from a decoder, corresponds to the known number of points per line. A beginning of line word BOL is also transmitted, any gaps in the line being filled with blanks. At the transmitter, a reader 1 controlled by 3 emits binary signals to shift register 2. At each line end, control 5 causes a BOL signal to be emitted from read only memory 7 and routed through OR 19 and modulator 8 to line followed by content of register 2 through coder 20. This includes a counter 10 which, between each change of brightness value, counts digits which count is dumped into register 12 for transmission, then proceeds to count the alternative value. Control 5 also detects when register 2 is empty, i.e. an end of line condition, hence EOL is emitted from memory 18 and next line is recorded in register 2.  At the receiver after demodulation at 32 a circuit 57 synchronizes a clock with incoming signals which are clocked into register 34 having a decoder 35 which recognizes BOL (EOL) signals and provides an output on line 36 (37) which sets (resets) flip-flop 38. Via read only memory 39 a succession of code words in a section of register 34 is passed to counter 40 which are clocked to zero, when the counter stops and resets but pulses are continually read into register 45 and counter 47, which records actual number of points received per line plus the number of bits = EOL. A signal on line 49 via gates 50 tests whether EOL is in decoder 35 and if so a signal is given on line 51 to write control 53 causing emptying of register 45 to writing device 54 and subsequent advancement of one line space. Meanwhile register 46 is being filled through switch 56 reversed. Control 57 determines whether a code word signifies 0 or 1. If not so, a signal on line 52 prevents switch 56 being reversed, the register storing the previous line being read out again to the writing device and the subsequent line received from the transmitter is over-read into the register with the faulty line bits.
