Filed: 1973-12-06
Abstract: 1457525 Substation equipment; metering INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP 6 Dec 1973 [13 Dec 1972] 56516/73 Headings H4K and H4J Substation circuitry includes an electrically powered control apparatus which causes dialled numbers to be recorded on paper tape. The printed dialled number may be displayed through a window on the substation apparatus. In operation a relay 30 operates when the subscriber goes off-hook to actuate a magnetic bi-stable circuit 40 after a delay of 0À3 seconds. When the subscriber dials, the interruptions in line current caused by relay 30 energize a monostable circuit 50 which pulses an electromagnet 51 to step a printing wheel round to the number dialled. A Schmitt trigger 60 feeds an impulse 150 ms after the detection of the end of an impulse train, to a monostable circuit 70 to control an electromagnet 71 which operates an arm to press the paper tape against the printing wheel. A further monostable device 80 activated by monostable device 70 causes the paper tape to be stepped on and the printing wheel to be returned to its null position. The circuitry may be mains powered and/or a battery chargeable over the telephone line may be provided.  Metering.-Throughout a call an astable device 90 applies a pulse every 30 seconds to operate the printing mechanism to cause a special character to be printed on the tape, the number of characters printed indicating the duration of the conversation. A device 99 and a monostable device 100 may be added to prevent the printing of the metering characters during incoming calls. In a modification shown in dashed lines on the Figure the devices 90-92 are replaced to enable metering tones received from an exchange system to be detected, the receipt of each metering tone causing a character to be printed. The paper tape printer and the associated circuitry may be actuated in a box 1 on which the telephone subset stands, access to the device requiring the use of a key.

Title: Normalize shift count network
IPC: G06F9/315
Filed: 1973-12-06
Abstract: 1438307 Data processing systems CONTROL DATA CORP 6 Dec 1973 [28 March 1973] 56532/73 Heading G4A A circuit for determining the shift count required to normalize an operand includes a comparator for comparing adjacent operand bits, the comparator output passing to a logic tree which develops the count. The circuit is so arranged that it can operate simultaneously on two half-width operands to give respective shift counts or on one full width operand. The operand has a sign bit (0= +, 1= -) as its highest order bit and has 0-bits between it and the most significant bit in the case of a positive number. In the case of a negative number the sign bit (1) is separated from the most significant bit by 1-bits, the number being in two's-complement form so that its most significant bit is a 0-bit. The position of the highest ordered change from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 therefore shows the amount that the operand must be shifted in both cases. As disclosed the comparators are EXCL-OR gates comparing bit positions 1 with 2, 2 with 3, &c. The logic unit may be designed to provide a count indicating the bit-position of the most significant bit or that position incremented by a bias value such as 2. As indicated in Fig. 1 for an operand 48 bits long the operand is presented as two 24-bit words to sections 12, 14, the higher order bits being passed to section 14. Each section comprises comparators and a logic unit as described above. In addition, circuitry in section 14 determines whether all the operand bits in this section are the same, indicating that the most significant bit is in section 12 if they are the same and enabling gate 20 so that the 6-bit count from the logic unit in section 12 is passed to register 28. If the bits in section 14 are not all the same the 6-bit count from this section is passed to register 28 via gate 22. Instead of one 48-bit operand the arrangement shown may receive two 24-bit operands, the respective counts passing to registers 34, 36 or in turn to register 28.

Abstract: 1,225,013. Testing electric cable construction. BRITISH INSULATED CALLENDER'S CABLES Ltd. Dec.12, 1968 [Dec.13, 1967], No. 56674/67. Headings G1A and G1M. The position of the conductors in a ribbon or like electric cable is checked by superposing the cable or an image thereof on a screen having windows where the cable conductors ought to be and detecting or measuring light or other radiation which passes through the cable and screen at any point at which a conductor is misplaced. When the radiation used is light it may be detected by eye or a photo-cell. The screen may be a photographic reproduction of a drawing, or an apertured opaque sheet. Two sheets may be used with overlapping apertures so that the effective aperture may be altered in accordance with desired tolerances by varying the degree of overlap. The effective aperture may be smaller than the conductor or its image so that the passage of any light indicates a fault, or it be larger so that only more than a predetermined amount of light indicates a fault. The invention may be used to test cable during manufacture an mark a defect or halt the machine or give an alarm.

Heading B5A. Articles having a cellular core and an unfoamed surface skin are produced by injecting an unfoamable thermoplastic resin into a mould cavity and before the centre thereof has set, injecting a heated foamable thermoplastic composition into the cavity, and allowing it to foam and set. The mould walls are preferably cooled and the mould cavity may be enlarged to allow expansion, e.g. by instantaneously or gradually relieving the pressure holding the mould halves together, the enlarging preferably being effected by the expansion pressure. A removable insert, e.g. a rigid sheet, for example, wood, plywood, metal, hardboard or a high melting thermoplastic, for manufacture of luggage, chairs, panels &c. or flexible sheets, e.g. P.V.C. for car seats &c. may line the mould before injection. The foamable and unfoamable materials, which may be the same or different, may be polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, poly-4-methylpentene-1, copolymers thereof, plasticized or unplasticized vinyl chloride homo-polymers and copolymers, homopolymers or copolymers of styrene, or methyl methacrylate and linear polyesters, e.g. polyethylene terephthalate. They may be injected into the mould from two separate, synchronized injection barrels, or an injection machine may be used which has an inlet port in the barrel so that blowing agent may be injected into the thermoplastic material after a plug of thermoplastic unfoamable material has built up at the orifice, so as to form a plug of foamable material adjacent the unfoamable plug. A second amount of unfoamable material may be subsequently injected. The blowing agent may be a volatile organic liquid, or a solid which thermally decomposes to a gas inert to the thermoplastic material. The mould may be textured to give a surface finish to the article. The unfoamable material may contain additives to improve moisture, light and heat resistance.
