Abstract: 511,915. Adjusting wireless - apparatus. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN. Dec. 21, 1938, Nos. 37230 and 37231. Convention dates, Dec. 24, 1937, and Feb. 24, 1938. [Class 37] In a radio-receiver having preselector-tuning by means of operating members such as pressbuttons, the tuning condenser is of the rectilinearly sliding electrode type. The movable electrodes 2 of the tuning condenser gang are secured to an axially slidable shaft 4 biased by a spring 7 to the left, Fig. 1. A disc 5 on the shaft co-operates with one or more series of press-buttons 9, 10 preferably arranged concentrically with shaft 4. The press-buttons carry adjustable stops 11 varying in length according to the station tuned thereby and, in known manner, (not shown), any button when depressed is arranged to release the previously depressed button and be locked in its depressed position. Alternatively, a separate member may be provided for restoring a depressed button. Also, by appropriately shaping the plate 5 the buttons may be otherwise arranged, e.g. so that they operate levers in a manner similar to the keys of a typewriter. Fig. 2 shows a system similar to Fig. 1 wherein the press-buttons are in the form of spring-biased sector-shaped plates 9 arranged around the axis XX of the condenser shaft 4. Each plate 9 carries a rod 19 in which the stop 11 is adjustably screwed, and is notched at 21, 22 so that when any button is depressed the portion 21 thereof slightly rotates a spring-biased locking plate 23 to release the previously depressed button, the plate subsequently entering into the groove behind projection 21 to lock the depressed key. A " blind button may, if desired, be provided to release a depressed key. For the usual manual tuning, the tuning knob is geared to a wheel on a bush 27 which is constructed as a nut so as to adjust the shaft 4 axially when rotated. In another embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), a single press-button has a plurality of teeth co-operating with a single stop-pawl whereby a plurality of stations may be tuned in corresponding to the different positions of the button. The maximum stroke of the sliding condenser electrodes preferably does not exceed 12 mm.

In the form shown, the supporting members 23 of the system y are forked and notched at 30 to engage, in the position shown in Fig. 1, under the squared ends of pins 17 on the anchoring spades 13, bracing being effected by screws 31. In this position, the lower part 21 of the gun support, to which the legs 23 of the system y are pivoted, rests directly in a socket 22 pivotally carrying the legs 4 of the system x. In the position shown in Fig. 4, the parts 21, 22 are separated by a pillar 36 and the notched ends of the legs 23 are engaged under the squared ends of pins 11 and clamped as before by the screws 31.
Patent GB-1503293-A (GB)
Title: Control of traffic signals
IPC: G08G1/07
Filed: 1976-09-10
Abstract: During the switching-over, the signal schedule currently running is switched off at one of a number of predetermined stopping points by means of a switch-over command. Each stopping point is associated with a preprogrammed switch-over signal schedule which is switched on by the switch-over command. A switch-over program transmitting device then determines a switch-over time at which the desired new signal schedule is switched on, taking into consideration minimum green times and maximum intermediate times for each of the signal transmitters (91-95). The change-over from the old to the new signal schedule can thus begin simultaneously at all intersections which results in very short change-over times of, for example, 35 sec. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 350,955. Control of motors. GES. FœR ELEKTRISCHE APPARATE, Marienfelde, Berlin. Dec. 11, 1929, No. 37978. Convention date, Dec. 11, 1928. [Class 38 (iii).] Following movements of control member.-In a system for driving a heavy object 8 in accordance with the movements of an indicator 2, which may be remote controlled, the object 8 is driven by two motors 11, 19 through differential gear 9. If the object 8 is moving at the same velocity as the indicator 2, the motor 19 is alone operative, being fed from a Ward-Leonard generator 17. If a discrepancy occurs between the movements, the indicator 2 is displaced relatively to a contact member 3, thus effecting the balance of differential fields of the motor 11, which then runs, to correct the discrepancy and to adjust the generator field resistance 15, so that the motor 19 how runs at such a speed as to tend to prevent the discrepancy recurring. An analagous system employing one driving motor in series with two Ward-Leonard generators is described. Specifications 246,573 and 259,215, [both in Class 38 (iii), Electric motor control systems &c.], are referred to.

Title: Firing circuits for series connected controllable rectifier devices
Inventor: KING KENNETH GORDON
IPC: H02M1/088
Filed: 1968-08-09
Abstract: 1,236,212. H.V.D.C. converters. WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO. Ltd. 23 July, 1969 [9 Aug., 1968], No. 38202/68. Heading H2F. A firing circuit for a series chain of rectifiers (e.g. SCRs) in an H.V.D.C. converter comprises (Fig. 1) a network to which firing signals are applied from a source CS (e.g. a gated H.F. generator, a damped wave-train generator or a single pulse generator) and includes a plurality of transformers interconnected by capacitor pairs C11, C21 to C1N, C2N which may also form voltage equalizing impedances for the rectifiers SCR1 to SCRN. The transformer secondaries are connected to the rectifier gates, either directly or through circuits FC1 to FCN which supplement the firing pulse power. The centre taps of the primaries are connected through relatively low value resistors to junctions between the rectifiers to limit capacitor discharge currents into the rectifiers and so that a balanced connection of the capacitor pairs is effected across the rectifiers. In an embodiment, Fig. 3, in the pulse network a transformer T 1  charges a capacitor CF1 via a pair of diodes D11, D12 from energy supplied by a generator G. On subsequent application of a high-voltage pulse to the network from a generator FPG, a zener diode ZD1 conducts to fire an auxiliary thyristor SCRF which discharges CF1 to fire rectifier SCR1. The network includes identical firing circuits for each rectifier in the chain. In an embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), in the network each transformer secondary is connected to fire respective auxiliary SCR which conducts to discharge a respective pair of capacitors (C11b, C21b) to fire the respective main SCR or group thereof. The capacitors are charged by the supply voltage appearing across each main SCR and to a voltage determined by a respective Zener diode across each capacitor. The basic firing circuit of Fig. 2 is similar to those described in Specification 1,142,513 which do not however include the transformers. The triggering signals to the networks may be applied via a fibre optic or perspex rod connection or other non-electrically interconnected gating means, for isolation purposes. To minimize attenuation in the pulse transmission network suitable inductors may be connected across the network between the respective capacitors pairs or alternatively the inductances of the primary windings may be suitably adjusted.
