Title: Circuit arrangements for a calling, door speaking and door opening installation
IPC: H04M11/02
Filed: 1978-11-30
Abstract: Instead of a telephone handset, a free-speaking facility equipped with a microphone loudspeaker is installed at each in-house terminal without the overall wiring of the installation having to be changed. The free- speaking facility is provided with a door opening button (35), a speak button (30), a listen button (31), a microphone amplifier (32) and a loudspeaker amplifier (33).

Patent GB-2043015-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for the transfer of unfired ceramic handles
IPC: B28B13/04
Filed: 1979-12-13
Abstract: A pair of unfired, ceramic handles 1 are moulded and trimmed on a plate 3 with a core 2 therebetween. The handles 1 and core 2 are supported on bolts 4 while a transfer member 7 is inserted under them by an actuator 6, which causes rollers 9 supporting the transfer member to move along rails 18. The transfer member is moved to the left, as viewed, so that the rollers 9 travel up and then down pivotable ramps 10, 11 so that the handles are lifted off the bolts 4 and brought above a conveyor 12, where they are deflected off the transfer member 7 onto the conveyor 12 by strippers 13 and 14. Continued movement of the bar 8 integral with the transfer member 7 causes it to contact and carry with it a cross bar 16 so that the strippers 13 and 14, mounted on guides 15 fixed to the cross bar 16, move upwardly and away from the conveyor 12 clear of the handles 1 and core 2 thereon. During the return movement of the transfer member 7 the pivotable ramp 11 can be lifted so that the rollers 9 pass under it and deflect the ramp 10 so that the transfer member moves horizontally beneath a subsequent pair of handles 1 on the bolts 4. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2070285-A (GB)
Title: Position control
IPC: G05B19/23
Filed: 1981-02-16
Abstract: Control of a d.c. motor (14), which may drive for example a 'daisy' print-wheel, is achieved using a micro-computer (18). A movel algorithm which uses the micro-computer in an unconventional way permits the construction of a system with a minimum of additional circuitry and with a very fast response time. A striped disc (10) coupled to the motor (14) and sensed photo-electrically (A, B, H) provides position status information. An 8-bit status byte is produced, with 4 bits (a, b, a', b') representing present and past position status and indicative of clockwise, anticlockwise or no movement. The 8-bit status byte is used as a pointer into a look-up table of addresses of action routines. A loop of only four instructions can perform the input and decode functions. As the target position is approached the motor is switched to slow mode operation in which the motor decelerates for a fixed interval and then accelerates until the next incremental move is made.
