Title: An intrinsically safe electrical outlet
Inventor: LEE SHU-HANG
IPC: H01R13/703
Filed: 2009-05-14
Abstract: An electrical outlet includes a live wire stub 11 and a live wire conductive clip 12. The live wire stub is sleeved with a protective device 20 having a housing 21, a movable connecting block 22 and a return spring 23. When a pin (31, Fig 3) of the plug is inserted into the electrical outlet, the connecting block is rotated so that the live wire conductive clip is electrically connected with the live pin of the plug. As the live wire stub is sleeved with protective device 20 metal objects or other conductive bodies may not come into contact with the live wire conductive clip 12 and cause electric shock or leakage even if they are extended accidentally into the outlet. The socket is safe since the live wire conductive clip is electrically connected with the plug's live wire pin only when certain force is applied to the plug pin to insert it into the jack. The connecting block may be moved by the insertion of the live pin of the plug, or it may have an insulating portion (26, Fig 5) and be operated by the insertion of an earth pin.

Title: A control unit for a digital computer
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 1963-03-15
Abstract: 957, 834. Electric digital calculators. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. March 15,1963 [March 20, 1962], No. 10377/63. Heading G4A. A control unit for a digital computer, comprises a rectangular array of bi-stable devices and scanning means which in response to a change of state of one of the devices, scans the columns for one including the changed device and then scans this column for the device. The unit may be a priority mechanism for computer interrupt each bi-stable device being a calling trigger for its associated peripheral unit. As described each trigger e.g. T57 forms one input of an associated AND gate 160. Energization of one of ten "column-select" OR gates 118-0 to 118-9 enables the second input of every AND gate 160 of the corresponding column, while energization of one of ten "row-select" OR gates 117-0 to 117-9 enables the third input of every AND gate 160 in the corresponding row. In operation a program unit 111 applies a test signal to energize all the "row-select" and "column-select" OR gates and if any of the triggers are calling i.e. if any of the peripheral units require service, the corresponding AND gates 160 are enabled. The outputs of the AND gates are combined in an OR circuit 102 which switches on a start trigger 104 to block further test signals, and also trips a trigger 106 to start a transistor ring B107. The trigger 106 applies an enabling signal to each of the "rowselect" OR gates 117 and the ring B107 enables in turn each of the "column-select" OR gates 118. When an OR gate 118 associated with a column including a calling trigger is enabled, a second pulse is produced by the OR circuit 102 and this enables an AND gate 108, switching off trigger 106 and thus holding ring B107 maintaining the selected column OR gate 118 enabled. The enabled AND gate 108 also switches a trigger T112 to start a second ring A113 which energizes each of the "row-select" OR gates, thus scanning the column selected by the ring B107. A third pulse is thus produced by the OR circuit 102 when the calling trigger is enabled and rings A, B, remain on the corresponding positions to indicate the called trigger.
