Title: Printer control system
IPC: G06K15/12
Filed: 1973-12-13
Abstract: 1458023 Control of printers GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 13 Dec 1973 [13 Dec 1972] 57731/73 Heading G4H A printer control system includes means 14, 23, 16 for controlling the rate at which data is fed from a source 1 to a printer 6.  Source 1 (e.g. a CRT terminal, computer or tape store) delivers data faster than it can be processed by printer 6. This may be a belt printer as in Specifications 1,228,280 or 1,219,242 and includes a recirculating register 130, Fig. 4 (not shown) storing printable characters and non-printable codes such as line feed LF, vertical tab VT, form feed FF, and a column counter (152) determining the position along the print line where a printable character is to be placed. The counter is incremented (STROBE 68) when a printable character is stored or when SPACE (not stored) is detected. Signals from SPACE and LF, VT, FF detectors 18, 12 control a timer 14 which enables or blocks a NAND gate 16 in such a way that data transmission from source 1 to printer 6 takes place after a predetermined delay following a printable character, and after no delay following SPACE. A further detector and timer 23 blocks gate 16 for a variable time (possibly longer than the above delay) upon recognition of a non-printable, non-SPACE code, e.g. LINE-FEED; gate 16 is blocked if a new LF (signal 20) occurs while there is a LF (signal 21) in memory awaiting execution.

Abstract: 1,191,360. Infra-red television. BOFORS A.B. 19 Dec., 1968 [22 Dec., 1967], No. 60478/68. Heading H4F. Specification describes thermography equip. ment comprising an infra-red detector and a cathode-ray tube display scanning in synchronism and a circuit, Fig. 1, connecting the video output of the detector at 1 to the input of the intensity modulation means of the display tube of 6, the circuit comprising a first linear amplifier channel 2, 3 operable to produce a display varying in brightness according to the temperature of the scene being scanned and a second non-linear amplifier channel 7, connectible in parallel with the first channel by the closure of switch 8 and amplifying only those video signals falling with a range corresponding to a predetermined temperature thereby producing on the normal linear display an isotherm contour, the output of channel 7 is shown at A, Fig. 2, and the output of amplifier 3 at B, including the dotted peak portions therein. Such that said peak portions shall not produce in the composite display a region of brightness equal to and thus confusible with, the isotherm, a limiter 9 is brought into circuit by switch 4 synchronously with closing switch 8, whereby the signal at B is limited to below the output of channel 7. The brightness of isotherm is made constant by the removal of the signal from the first channel by means of first channel gate 5, opened by the pulses in the output of channel 7. The composite signal is thus shown at C, Fig. 2. A transistorized embodiment of limiter 9 and gate 5 is given, Fig. 3 (not shown).

Title: Anti-skid braking
IPC: B60T8/1761
Filed: 1970-12-29
Abstract: 1277857 Antiskid braking systems FIAT SpA 29 Dec 1970 [13 Jan 1970] 61553/70 Heading F2F In an antiskid braking system a solenoid valve 16 located in a line between a master cylinder 10 and brake cylinder is controlled by a signal generated by ascertaining the value of wheel slip at an instant not earlier than the instant of initiation of release of braking and resuming the braking when the slip of the wheel again reaches such a value. When a pedal 12 is depressed fluid passes through the normally open valve 16 to brake wheel 22. If the deceleration of the wheel exceeds a certain value a tachometer 24 supplying a signal to a threshold circuit 28 via a differentiating circuit 26 causes circuit 28 to set a flip-flop 34, which through an amplifier 36 causes solenoid 16 to be energized to release the braking action on wheel 22. At the same time a linear function generator 30, receiving a vehicle deceleration signal from accelerometer 40, is triggered by the output signal from threshold circuit 28 causing it to apply a signal to a comparator 44. When the wheel speed signal from tachometer 24 and the fictitious wheel speed signal from linear function generator 30 are equal indicating that the slip value is that which it had at the moment of brake release, comparator 44 resets flip-flop 34 which causes valve 16 to become de-energized and restore braking on wheel 22. To restore braking for a larger value of slip a delay circuit 50, Fig. 5 (not shown) is provided in the conductor 32 connecting the threshold circuit 28 to generator 30.
