Title: Acoustical sensing device
IPC: G10K5/02
Filed: 1968-12-17
Abstract: 1,246,988. Fluidic sensing. PITNEYBOWES Inc. 17 Dec., 1968 [20 Dec., 1967], No. 59959/68. Heading G4P. [Also in Division H4] An acoustic sensing device (Fig. 1) comprises a frame 10 carrying a supersonic whistle 74 (Figs. 5, 6, not shown) exciting a conical radiator 87 to direct acoustic pressure waves into a conical opening 53a connected to an exponential horn 53 as input to a fluidic receiver 15; the whistle and the receiver being excited from a pressure source 16 over ducts 17, 18. The fluidic receiver (Fig. 3; Fig. 4, not shown), grooved into circuit board 25 having a coverplate riveted thereto over a gasket, comprises an inlet groove 30 from duct 18 connected directly to narrowed emitter groove 34 of a fluidic amplifier 23 and through groove 31 to emitter groove 33 of amplifier 22. This opens into a diverging groove 35 forming an interaction chamber, whose downstream end communicates with angularly extending venting channel 36 and with a collector groove 40 coaxial with emitter groove 33. The emitter groove of amplifier 23 enters a widened interaction chamber 42, whose downstream end communicates with symmetrical venting channels 43, 44, and with collector groove 45 coaxial with emitter groove 34 and connected to output duct 20. A control groove 46 connects with collector groove 40 over channel 47, and a port 51 of the exponential horn throat is placed at the upstream end of interaction chamber 35. The receiver assembly is situated in a vented recess 62 of block 60 (Fig. 1) to register with inlet and outlet ducts and conical opening 53A. Each amplifier is monostable, and a laminar jet normally flows between emitter and collector which is rendered turbulent and vented during the application of a signal. Initially the laminar flow in 22 produces high pressure in collector groove 40 to cause turbulent flow in 23 and low pressure output from collector 45 to duct 20. An acoustic signal initiates turbulent flow in 22 and low pressure in collector groove 40, so that the flow in 23 is laminar for high pressure output to duct 20. On removal of signal the system reverts, so that presence or absence of an object in the acoustic beam is denoted by low or high pressure at duct 20. The whistle comprises laminated plates conjointly grooved to define a longitudinal pressure passage having a restriction therein, connected to transverse passages of which one is blocked off and the other connected to conical opening 87. In a modification (Fig. 7, not shown) the sonic generator and receiver are frame mounted for axial intersection at a remote point; at which an object produces reflected acoustic input to the receiver, to develop a high pressure output; while absence of the object and the input develops a low pressure output.

[Class 106 (iv)] Electrical voting-apparatus for registering and counting the votes of an assembly on a motion comprises a plurality of voting keys, one individual to each member, each adapted to give a unique code signal or combination of code signals when acting upon contacts in any one of a number of signalling units, wherein the code signal or combination of code signals controls the selection and connection to this unit of a vote register circuit individual to the member, to the end that a signal indicative of a manner of voting, and resulting from an action on the part of the member, may be transmitted from the signalling unit to this vote register circuit to register the vote of the member. Registering a vote. When voting is to occur, a " divide " key is operated causing a warning to be given and preparing a circuit through each signalling unit so that the subsequent insertion of a voting key completes a start-circuit, which sets in operation a finderselector system employing motor-driven highspeed uniselectors with associated relays and magnets of the type used in telephone systems and as a result indicates a vote " for," " against " or " abstain " in the member's vote register on a display pahel according to the voting position to which he turned his key, a confirmatory signal appearing at the signalling unit. A form of emergency voting for a member without his key is described, whereby his code signal or combination of code signals can be set up on key strips and a vote can be registered and displayed as before. Taking the count. When counting is to occur, a " count " key is operated, preventing any further registration or alteration of votes and operating relays in each of three counter control circuits, one for each mode of voting. The counter control circuit for the " fors " includes a searching switch which has access to a contact for each member, connected to his " for " register, and actuates a counter each time it finds a contact " alive due to a " for " vote having been registered. Against " and "abstain" votes are counted similarly and the sum totals are registered on the display panel.

Title: Detecting interruption of signals
IPC: H03K5/26
Filed: 1978-06-17
Abstract: A logic circuit for use in a circuit responsive to AC signals proportional to the rate of descent of a lift cage (1) and the rate at which the winding rope is paid out (2) to detect when slack rope is generated, is disclosed. The circuit comprises two bistables the first of which (3) is arranged to be alternately set and reset by the two signals, and the second of which (4) is arranged to be switched to an alarm state when the rate of descent signal (1) is interrupted. Initially 5 is at logic "0". As long as pulses at 1 occur at the same or a greater rate than those at 2, the logic "1" at 7 is transferred to 5, but is subsequently reset by a pulse 1 to logic "0" before the occurance of the next pulse 2. Thus in normal operation a logic "0" is always present at 6 when a pulse edge 2 occurs and output 11 is at logic "0". Under fault conditions, a logic "1" appears at 6 which sets output 11 to logic "1" <IMAGE>
