IPC: G09B19/24
Filed: 1969-08-11
Abstract: 1,231,926. Pacing work performance. INDUSTRIAL TEACHING SYSTEMS CORP. 11 Aug., 1969 [13 Nov., 1968], No. 40074/69. Heading A5K. [Also in Division G5] Apparatus for pacing the performance of a task which consists in repeating a cycle of operations provides to the performer of the task signals which indicate that a given part of the task should have been completed and when a complete set of such signals, corresponding to a full cycle, has been given it automatically restarts a like set of signals to pace the next cycle. Fig. 2 shows the essential components of the apparatus and Fig. 1 illustrates the program performed by it. The apparatus gives signals at time intervals set on the independently adjustable timers 44a to 44f. These signals include audible signals given by the tone generator 36 and visible signals on a display unit 38. The audible signals are 'cues' requiring the operator to proceed to the next stage of the task and the visible signals provide a continuous indication of what stage in the task he should have reached. If at any time the operator gets behind he can temporarily disable the apparatus by means of a control 40; if he does this, the apparatus can only be restarted at the beginning of a cycle. The use of the apparatus to train a worker in sewing shirt collars is described in the Specification.

Abstract: 1,233,629. Continuous casting. TSENTRALNY NAUCHNO - ISSLEDOVATELSKY INSTITUT CHERNOI METALLURGII IMENI BARDINA. 19 April, 1969, No. 20086/69. Heading B3F. [Also in Division C7] A steel melt is blown with oxygen to give a product containing at least 0.25% Mn and 0À07-0À12% C, which is then charged into a continuous casting mould with an oxygen content of 0À02-0À035%. If the C content of the steel after blowing is less than 0.08%, solid pig iron is added to deoxidize the melt. The rimming action of the steel in the mould may be controlled by addition of a lubricant to the walls of the mould to react with the oxygen above the melt or an inert gas (e.g. Ar) atmosphere may be formed over the melt. Cold rolled plates made from the cast slabs have surfaces free from scabs, non-metallic inclusions and scale.

Abstract: 1,233,830. Positive clutch. WARNER & SWASEY CO. 17 Dec., 1969 [23 Jan., 1969], No. 61450/69. Heading F2C. An overload release clutch comprises a pair of levers 54, 56 on a driving member 30 and carrying rollers 62 spring-biased into recesses 68 in a driven member 32, the members 30, 32 also having a screw-thread connection 98 so that relative rotation therebetween on overload forces the members axially apart to prevent reengagement of the rollers in the recesses until the clutch members have been returned to their initial relative rotational positions by reverse rotation. The driven member 32 is splined to an output member 40 on short splines 120 so that excess axial movement of member 32 completely disengages the driving member 30 from the output member 40 to protect threads 98. A pair of such clutches (24), (24a), Fig. 1 (not shown), are included in the drives from a reversible electric motor (26) to a cross-slide (16) and a turret assembly (14) in a single spindle chucking machine tool. The levers 54, 56 carry radially outer cams (82), Fig. 2 (not shown), which actuate a switch 80 on overload release, to break the motor energizing circuit and to operate an alarm circuit.

Abstract: 1,234,431. Data processing. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 12 Sept., 1968 [27 Sept., 1967], No. 43385/68. Heading G4A. A data processing system comprises a main store, an auxiliary store capable of performing a plurality of read/write cycles during each read/write cycle of the main store, a first and a second address path for accessing the auxiliary store, and addressing means for utilizing the first address path to read out a main store address stored in the auxiliary store in order to access a location in the main store and for subsequently utilizing the first address path to access a location in the auxiliary store such that data can be transferred between the two locations. The main store holds data, instruction and control words. The auxiliary (" active ") store includes working space, and locations for an instruction counter and operand main store addresses. The word portion of an operand address read from auxiliary store is used to read an operand word from main to auxiliary store. An arithmetic logic unit receives operands from the auxiliary store serially by byte, a marker register holding the byte portions of the operand addresses (and having adders to increment/decrement them) selecting the bytes. The marker register also has a 4-bit mask (one bit per byte of a word) to control which bytes of a main store operand word are finally overwritten by result bytes, and being updated by the adders. Control words from main store are entered into a control register and recoded to control the system. Data words from main store can be gated to a main data bus also fed by the auxiliary store. Address decode means in the first address path of the auxiliary store can be fed with control words from main store (without passing through the control register) while address decode means in the second address path can be fed from the control register. Both decode means can also be fed from section and word select registers fed by the main data bus. The two address paths are used during different portions of a cycle. The word portion of the memory address register through which the main store is addressed has a sub-portion to select a memory module and a sub-portion to select a word within the module. Input to the first sub-portion can be inhibited while the second sub-portion is changed upon the selection of successive control words. Control words may be provided in main store for the control of input/output devices, and modification of control words under control of other control words is possible.

Abstract: 1290457 Vehicle fuel tanks GENERAL MOTORS CORP 6 May 1971 [20 May 1970] 13407/71 Heading B7H [Also in Division B8] A screw-on filler cap 58 comprises a cupshaped body 92 with a threaded portion which co-operates with a threaded insert 82 of the filler pipe 48. A gasket 100, spaced from the end wall of the cap and supported by plate 98, has a central aperture 104 which receives a valve member 106, biased into engagement with surface 102 of gasket 100 by spring 116. Thus when pressure in filler tube 48 is sufficiently low, valve 106 opens allowing air from the outside to pass through filter 118, through apertures 120 in the gasket support 98, through central aperture 104 and into the tank. The threaded fitting of the cap ensures that, on removal of the cap, shoulder 84 is unseated from gasket 100 thus allowing pressure equalization inside and outside the tank before complete removal of the cap. Also described, but not claimed, is the remainder of the tank and its mounting. The tank 10, having two surge baffles 26 is secured on to bracket 14 by bands 12. A tube 40 communicates through baffles 26 with the outer tank compartments and has an open branch 42 to ensure full feed to fuel pump 46.

Abstract: 1306735 Semi-conductor photodetector arrays PLESSEY CO Ltd 13 July 1971 [20 July 1970] 35120/70 Heading H1K [Also in Division H4] A photodetector array, e.g. for a solid state imaging device, comprises a first set of mutually parallel strips 3 of semi-conductor material formed in or on an insulating substrate 4, and a second set of mutually parallel metal strips 5 arranged transversely to the first set and insulated therefrom by dielectric material 6. Each cross-over point defines a photodetector in the form of a depletion-mode IGFET, the selective application of a suitable potential to the metal strip 5 causing the normally conductive channel in the underlying semiconductor strip 3 to be turned off in the absence of illumination. Light falling on the strip 3, however, e.g. through the substrate 4, generates carriers which cause the channel to remain conductive in the presence of a potential on the strip 5 to an extent determined by the intensity of illumination. Sequential application of potentials to each of the strips 5 while any strip 3 is addressed thus produces a train of impedance pulses representative of the illumination falling on the detectors in the strip 3. The effect of noise may be reduced by sequentially accessing each detector twice during each selection period of a strip 3 and subtracting the two resulting impedance pulse trains. Sensitivity may be varied by commencing the second accessing sequence for any strip 3 before the first accessing sequence has been completed. The strips 3 may be of Si on a sapphire substrate 4, the dielectric material 6 being SiO 2  and the strips 5 being of Al. Alternatively the strips 3 may be of GaAs on an insulating GaAs substrate 4.
