Title: Microprogramme controlled data processors
IPC: G06F9/318
Filed: 1974-03-19
Abstract: 1468066 Microprogramming WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 19 March 1974 [22 March 1973] 12028/74 Heading G4A A microprogram controlled data processor includes a main memory 102 (Fig. 1) with output registers 104, 105, a read only microprogram memory 103 with output register 106 and a control unit 101 arranged so that in response to a particular microinstruction further microinstructions are read from the main memory output register 105 into microinstruction register 106. As described a main program instruction from main memory 102 defines the address in read-only memory 103 of the first microinstruction in a sequence which is read out to register 106. A first part of the microinstruction defines the address of the next microinstruction and a second part is decoded to provide control signals for performing the required functions, the last microinstruction of a sequence causing a new instruction to be fetched from main memory. Each time an instruction is fetched from main memory a flip-flop (214, Fig. 2, not shown) is set. When the main instruction is a "microinterpret mode instruction", decoder 110 on decoding the read out microinstruction sets a MINT flip-flop (213, Fig. 2, not shown) so that a gate (220) is enabled to enable a further gate (222) to transfer the contents of register 105 to register 106. Main memory sequencer 111 then fetches a further microinstruction from main memory. The last instruction resets the flipflop (213).

Abstract: 347,474. Converting electric currents. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London.-(Assignees of Fitzgerald, A. S. ; 1212, Union Street, Schenectady; New York, U.S.A.) April 16, 1930, No. 12069. Convention date, April 18, 1929. [Class 38 (ii).] Apparatus for converting D.C. to A.C. comprises two valves 3, 7 connected in series through a reactance 4 across the D.C. mains 1 ; a condenser 5 being connected between a centretap on the reactance 4 and the cathode of valve 7 through the primary winding 8 of a transformer 6. The condenser 5 is charged from the D.C. mains through the valve 3 and discharged through valve 7, the grid potentials of the valves being determined by a transformer 9 connected to a control A.C. circuit, the frequency of which determines the frequency of the output from transformer 6. When one valve becomes conductive due to its grid potential becoming positive with regard to the cathode the current flow in the associated half of the reactance 4 will induce an E.M.F. in the other half that will cause the other valve to become non-conductive. In a modification, the drive coil of a tuning fork is connected across the condenser 5 and the pick-up coil connected to the primary of transformer 9. To prevent interruption of operation on light loads the transformer 6 is provided with a third winding having a centre-tap to the negative main and the ends of the winding connected through diode valves to the positive mains. On light loads rectified A.C. is fed back to the D.C. mains

Abstract: 441,682. Glass manufacture. PEARSON, T. F., The Poplars, Ackworth Road, Pontefract, Yorkshire. April 23, 1935, No. 12116. [Class 56] Relates to apparatus for feeding charges of molten glass to parison moulds or like receptacles in which the charges are gathered by suction into a gathering-cup or mould that swings away from the furnace to drop the charges into the moulds. According to the present invention, a divided gathering-cup, consists of a top section 6, Fig. 1, and body sections 4, 5, has the body sections carried by levers 10, 11, Fig. 3, mounted on pivots 46 on an arm 1 which is swung periodically about a vertical shaft 2 to carry the cup to a position above the parison moulds. The gathering cup is constructed as described in Specification 439,150 and suction is applied to it through a passage 9 in the arm 1. The levers 10, 11 are pivoted at their outer ends to nuts 12, 13 respectively which screw on to threaded links 14 pivoted to a yoke 16. The nuts 12, 13 enable the sections 4, 5 of the cup to be brought into tight contact with one another when closed. The yoke 16 turns on a vertical pivot 47 on an extension of the arm 1, and a snug 18 is keyed to the yoke, the key being constructed to allow a small amount of lost motion between them. The yoke is also provided with a cam arm 20 against which a roller 21 is pressed by a spring 22. In use, when the parts are in the position shown, a charge of glass is sucked into the cup 4, 5 from a furnace firehearth 38, and the arm is then raised by a rotating cam 37, Fig. 1, which lifts the shaft 2. The arm is then swung horizontally through an angle of about 60‹ by a lever 28 which is pivoted at 50 to the upper bearing 26 of the shaft 2, and at its lower end is pivoted to an arm 27 feathered on the shaft 2. The lever is swung about the pivot 50 by a cam groove 30 on the face of the cam 37. When the arm 1 reaches the position A-B, Fig. 3, the snug 18 strikes a stop 19 and turns the yoke 16 to open the gathering cup, so that the contained charge of glass is allowed to fall into a parison mould. When the arm 1 moves back to the gathering- position, the roller 21 pressing against the cam arm 20 causes the yoke 16 to rotate and close the sections 4, 5 of the gathering-cup.
