Title: Improvements to radio-detection methods
IPC: G01S13/58
Filed: 1962-05-18
Abstract: 1,220,321. Radar. COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE THOMSON-HOUSTON. 18 May, 1962 [18 May, 1961], No. 19357/62. Heading H4D. In a radar system, of either C.W. or pulse type, provision is made to prevent jamming and to distinguish between different target radial velocities. The jamming signal effect is reduced by two separate arrangements, firstly, the carrier frequency is altered randomly incrementally, and secondly cross-correlation is effected at the receiver. Additionally, the range is scanned incrementally with each change in carrier frequency. Target velocity discrimination is produced by Doppler frequency filter banks. The random frequency change is effected by the provision, at the transmitter, of a group of generators, which are all of different frequencies, and which are selected in random sequence for coupling to the transmitter antenna. The receiver incorporates a further group of generators each of which corresponds to one of the transmitter generators but which has a different frequency. The transmitter random selection device simultaneously selects a delay circuit, corresponding to a given target range. The delay circuit output causes energization of the appropriate range correlator from the receiver generator corresponding to the transmitter generator in use. The random control signals are developed from a series of noise sources, the outputs from which are randomly positive and negative and which determine the state of an associated relay arrangement coupling the generators to the transmitter aerial.

Abstract: 1474106 Calculator CANON KK 3 May 1975 [7 May 1973 (2)] 19497/74 Heading G4 A computer having a manually operated keyboard executes expressions such as keyed in in that form and displays the results of expressions within brackets in response to actuation of the right parenthesis key. The operators include a<SP>x</SP> (where, when keys representing 2, ax, and 3 are actuated 2<SP>3</SP> is calculated) X, ¸, +, -, and opening and closing brackets (, and ) and each have an assigned code indicating their priority relative to other operators, an arithmetic unit 6 responding to the code to execute the operation. The computer includes an operator shift register 3 into the least significant digit position of which the code corresponding to an entered operator is loaded, a discriminator 4 detecting the code stores in that position. A stack of registers SR(1)-SR(5) is provided to receive and store on a last in first out basis operands which are initially enetered into an accumulator register 8. Flow charts are given showing the way in which operations are performed between the number entered into the accumulator register and the number in the top register in the stack, the result being stored in the accumulator register, and the way in which the stack contents are "pushed down" and "popped up", with a corresponding left and right shift of the operator register contents, in order to defer earlier entered but lower priority operations when a high priority operation is subsequently entered, e.g. A + B Î C. Equal priority operations such as + and -, and x and ¸ are executed in the order in which they are keyed. The result and intermediate partial results of the expressions within brackets may be printed or otherwise displayed at 0. In a second embodiment, Figs. 7-15 (not shown), the operator codes are loaded into the least significant digit position of the operator shift register as above but the discriminator is connected to the next least significant digit position, additional shifts together wtih corresponding movements of data between the various registers, being performed. The sequences performed for various combinations of operators and the generation of clock pulses are described in some detail. In a further embodiment, Figs. 16-20 (not shown), two stacks of registers, a stack of flipflops for storing an indication of a division operation, and various other flip-flops and registers are provided. Various types of intermediate results, e.g. a term such as 3¸2 or 4 x 5, or an arithmetic expression such as +5, or 5+3, are stored in respective ones of the stacks or registers. The sequences performed for various combinations of operators are described fully. The registers used may be static or dynamic shift registers. The arithmetic operations are performed as described in USA Specification 3,302,183.

Abstract: 1,032,349. Automatic brake adjustment. BENDIX CORPORATION. May 11, 1964 [May 15, 1963], No. 19556/64. Heading F2E. A brake has a pair of shoes 12, 14 connected at one end to an actuator 16 and carried at the other on an anchorage 26 on a fixed support 10 and includes a screw-and-nut adjustment device operated by a linkage connected to a pivotable lever 62, 118 which controls said adjustment device 36, 116 which is mounted between the anchorage 26, 102 and one brake shoe 12, 12a which is connected to the second brake shoe 14, 14a by a link 50, 50a; said control lever being actuated by a preloaded overtravel spring which yields when the force exerted by the one brake shoe on the adjustment device 36, 116 prevents operation of the lever 62, 118, The actuator is an hydraulic cylinder having two pistons, one in contact with each of the brake shoes. In Fig. 1, the adjustment device consists of a non-rotatable screw 32 which supports the end of the shoe 14 and intrudes into the anchor block 26 at 38. The shoe 12 is supported directly on the block 26. An internally threaded sleeve 42 can be rotated by the lever 62, which has a finger 70 engaging in serrations 44 on the sleeve 42, when the lever tilts on its pivot 72 in the block 26. A cable 54 fixed to a pin 68 on the shoe 12 passes over a pulley 56 on the shoe 14 to a cage 58 for a spring 60. The end of the spring 60 is hooked through a hole 90 in the lever and is held against the lever in a prestressed condition by a return spring 64 which loops through a hole 80 in the lever to bias it in a clockwise direction. When, due to application of the shoes 12 and 14 to the brake drum the pull on the cable 54 on the lever exceeds the force of the spring 64 on it the lever tilts to turn the adjustment device. When due to force exerted by the shoes the adjustment can no longer turn, further movement of the cable is taken upon the spring 60. On release of the brakes the link 50 apportions the adjustment between the two shoes. A lever 52 pivoted also at 68 and operated by the parking brake cable 92 also engages the end of the link 50. In consequence, no separate adjustment of the cable 92 is necessary due to worn brake linings.
