Abstract: 1,085,740. Printer control systems. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. April 12, 1966 [April 20, 1965], No. 15932/66. Heading G4H. Coded characters are entered in a recirculating delay line store as vacant time slots in the store become available, and at the same time, an address counter is advanced by one to enter an address (equal to the character position in the line to be printed) in a further recirculating delay line store. When all the characters have been read in, the character store contains a complete line, though the characters may not be in the same order as that in which they were received, and the address store contains the addresses in the time slots corresponding to the characters with which the addresses are associated. Both stores recirculate once as each character on a print drum moves into the printing position A coded disc coupled to the print drum provides signals indicating the character arriving at the print station and when these signals are successfully compared with the stored character signals as the character store circulates, the associated addresses are gated out from the address store to a matrix decoder which sets up those print hammer drivers which correspond to the positions in which the character being considered is to be printed. A clock disc associated with the print drum fires the set hammer drivers when the character is in position. Control signals.-Provision is made for advancing the address counter by multiples of eight in response to a special control character when it is desired to leave a large number of spaces between printed characters, as in tabulating. Other control functions are described, e.g. line-spacing.

Title: Process and installation for burning liquefied hydrocarbons
Inventor: ANDRE PAUL
IPC: F23D11/24
Filed: 1969-03-27
Abstract: 1,270,125. Burners. COMPAGNIE DES GAZ DE PETROLE PRIMAGAZ. 27 March, 1969 [29 March, 1968], No. 16146/69. Heading F4T. Liquified hydrocarbon gases such as propane and butane are burnt in the liquid state by feeding the liquified gas to an injector at a pressure greater than its saturated vapour pressure and interrupting the injecting action when the pressure in the injector falls below 8 bars, which pressure is still greater than the saturated vapour pressure of the liquefied gas. It is said that this method requires a small injector for high thermal output, and that the injector is neither cooled nor heated since evaporation and combustion of the fuel occur at a distance from the injector due to the pressures involved. As described, liquefied gas at 2 bars from a reservoir 1 is pumped at 3 to about 8 bars and fed via an electromagnetic valve 9 to an injector 5 mounted in a sleeve 6 provided with a fan 7 delivering pulsed air. A control box 8 controls the pump 3, valve 9, fan 7, an igniter 10 and a flame control member 11. The injector comprises a valve rod 19 slidable in an envelope 12, one end 18 of the rod obturating an injector orifice 15 in the envelope, and the other end 20 bearing on a diaphragm 21 biased by an adjustable spring 24. Perforate discs 30, 31 secured to the envelope and the rod 19, respectively, guide the rod, and a spring 34 ensures contact between the rod end 20 and diaphragm 21. Adjustment of the spring 24 with a screw 26 determines the pressure at which the orifice 15 is obturated.
