Title: Pulsecode modulation signal-converter
IPC: H04B14/06
Filed: 1975-01-17
Abstract: 1480434 Delta modulation to P.C.M. conversion PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTIRES Ltd 17 Jan 1975 [21 Jan 1974] 2112/75 Heading H3H Compressed delta modulation signals X(nT) are converted to pulse code modulation signals y(nRT) by delaying the incoming signal in shift register 2, deriving step-size words at 4, and deriving digital signals Zn(O)-Zn(N - 1) each related to a delta modulation word, a corresponding step-size word, and a filter coefficient a(O)-a(N - 1), accumulating at 7 and clocking out the P.C.M. words at a rate which is an integral R fraction of the delta modulation word rate. The digital filter is low pass with a cut off at 4 kHz for an 8 kHz P.C.M. word rate. In Fig. 1, each delta modulation word consists of only one, sign, bit. The step-size words are delayed in delay circuit 9, multiplier stage 6(i) multiplies coefficient a(i) by the step-size word in stage 9(i), the delta modulation bit in stage 2(i) denoting the sign of the step. The step-size words are derived by detecting the occurrence of three consecutive 1's or 0's, Fig. 2 (not shown) whereupon 1 is added to a signal circulating in a closed loop (15). In a modification, Fig. 4 (not shown) the delta modulation words are multiplied (25) with the corresponding step-size words before entry into register 2, register 9 being omitted. Register 2 may be recursive, Fig. 5 (not shown). If the input delta modulation has step-sizes in binary progression, the step-size generator, Fig. 8 (not shown) need only form an indication of the power to which the base 2 has been raised, multiplication in 6 being by more lateral shift of the filter coefficients at the input to accumulator 7, Fig. 7 (not shown).

Title: Improvements in coin counting machines
IPC: G07D9/04
Filed: 1926-01-25
Abstract: 266,512. Burdick, C. L. Jan. 25, 1926. Counters for coins.-In a coin-counting machine such as that described in Specifications 25916/10 and 177,337, the machine may be adjusted to count coins of different classes, such as copper and silver, and simultaneously a corresponding set of counters is thrown into operative engagement. As shown the machine is set for dealing with coppers, the handle 24 being to the left and the trip and total counters 20, 21 for coppers being in train with the ratchet wheel 12 actuated by the coin-rocked lever 5 through lever 9 carrying pawl 11. To change over to silver counting the lever 24 is moved to the right to rock the counter frame 22 anticlockwise about its pivot 23 so as to engage the silver counters 18, 19 with the ratchet wheel 12 through pinions 17, 31 and to disengage the copper counters. At the same time and in order to adjust the actuation for the slight differences in diameter of the two classes of coin, the detent ring 13 is shifted anticlockwise slightly and a roller 45 previously holding the actuating pawl 11 ineffective for a certain part of its stroke is displaced to permit the pawl to have a longer effective stroke. Alarm mechanism 35, 36 operated by a pin 32, and stopmechanism 43 released by the engagement of a pin 39 with a lever 38 are also provided. The Provisional Specification describes a different connection between the ratchet wheel and the counters and also a cam arrangement operated by the throw-over lever for disengaging the pawl from the ratchet wheel during the change.

Resistances. - An apparatus for use in the application of electricity medically comprises a liquid rheostat, Figs. 1 and 2, used in conjunction with other devices such as a milliammeter F and an induction coil U, Fig. 3. The rheostat consists of a vessel V containing water, in which depend two movable electrodes B, B' suspended from a rotatable disk N, and which are connected by leads C, C<1> to the source of current. Two other electrodes A, A<1> connected to terminals T, T<1> are fixed to an insulating-slab M fixed to the vessel V, and are used for leading off a portion of the main the strength of which is dependent on the relative positions of the fixed and movable electrodes. Fixed to the disk N is a handle E, which, by moving over a scale K on the vessel V, indicates the voltage between the movable electrodes. Pillars G, G' are provided for supporting either a milli-ammeter F or an induction coil U. The primary winding of the coil is connected to metal bars Q, Q<1>, which may be clamped to the pillars G, G<1> which serve to conduct the current to the coil. If the main supply is alternating, the contact-breaker of the coil is thrown out of action or the coil is made without one. Alternatively, a rectifier may be used. The apparatus may he used in conjunction with an electric lamp for illuminating parts of the patient's body. The Provisional Specification 2249/16 states that the electrodes of the rheostat are made of carbon. If the main current is alternating, the rheostat may be used as a rectifier by employing aluminium and carbon electrodes in a solution of magnesium sulphate. The escape of gas may be diminished by means of a layer of oil on the liquid in the rheostat. The current may he periodically interrupted by means of a wheel divided into insulated sections and driven by hand or motive power; or a rocking beam dipping in mercury may be used. According to the Provisional Specification 8240/16, discoloration of the water in the rheostat is avoided by placing over the electrodes a hag or cover of suitable material. A rectifier for alternating currents may be used, comprising four or more cells containing a solution of ammonium phosphate, in which are immersed electrodes of carbon and aluminium or alumium alloy. The Provisional Specification 11363/16 states that multiple terminals may be employed for the treatment of several patients simultaneously, and that, when the four-celled bath is used, the cells may be so designed as to pack one within another.
