Title: Output arrangements for electronic counters
IPC: H03K21/08
Filed: 1956-05-22
Abstract: 824,187. Electronic counting-apparatus. KIENZLE APPARATE G.m.b.H. May 22, 1956 [May 21, 1955], No. 15758/56. Class 106 (1). The amount registered by an electronic counter is transferred to printing and/or counting mechanism by applying to each order of the counter a number of pulses equal to the radix, the pulses being generated synchronously with driving means for the printing and/or counting mechanism, the corresponding order of which is positioned under the control of a pulse developed when the order of the electronic counter passes through the zero-registering state. Type wheels 101 are driven by actuator racks 111, and the bail rod 131 which releases the racks to the action of springs and later restores them, has secured to it a cam bar 164 actuating a contact pair 174 which produces ten pulses during a stroke of the bail rod. These stepping pulses are applied to each order of the electronic counter 154. The pulses developed in the latter which normally effect tens transfers cause electromagneticallycontrolled pawls 134 to arrest the associated actuator racks 111 in positions corresponding to the digits registered in the counter. The tens transfer arrangements are disconnected during the read-out operation. The stepping pulses may be arranged to advance the counter in the forward or rearward direction, the type wheels being appropriately formed. The stepping pulses may alternatively be generated photo-electrically, or magnetically by a notched control bar 489, Fig. 3, driven with the racks and forming part of a magnetic circuit passing through a coil 487 in which the pulses are generated. Stepping pulses independent of the speed of the bar 489 may be developed in an electrical circuit, Fig. 2, including a plate of indium antimonide or other suitable semi-conductor, the resistance of which varies with the magnetic flux.

Abstract: 1376357 Radio signalling THOMSON-CSF 5 April 1972 [6 April 1971] 15782/72 Heading H4L  A system for communication with aircraft from a ground station via an earth satellite repeater station uses a combination of time division and frequency division multiplex by arranging that at least some of the time multiplexed channels operate on different carrier frequencies. The arrangement is intended to avoid attenuation of the signal received by the aircraft due to multipath interference and it is also arranged that the sampliing period and the duration of a frame are such that the unwanted reflected signals reach the aircraft after the termination of its allotted channel time slot and before the start of its time slot in the succeeding frame. The aircraft receiver is provided with gating means which block the receiver for this period and the receiver also includes a filter responsive to its own carrier frequency. The system described uses PCM.
