Abstract: A system (35) for controlling the slip of driving wheels of a vehicle detects an excessive slip state of at least one of the driving wheels of the vehicle wherein the slip of one driving wheel has a magnitude greater than a predetermined magnitude, and interrupts fuel supply to the engine of the vehicle (31) when the excessive slip state is detected. The system further detects a smaller slip state wherein the slip has a magnitude less than the predetermined magnitude. An amount of fuel supplied to the engine is corrected in dependence on the value of at least one predetermined operating parameter of the engine, which is sensed by at at least one parameter sensor (38,39,40), when the predetermined smaller slip state is detected. A plurality of different correction values responsive to operating conditions of the engine, which correct the amount of fuel supplied to the engine, are rendered virtually ineffective when the predetermined smaller slip state is detected.

Abstract: Motor control apparatus is described that is used in a printer that prints on a paper web (32) coming from a roll (13) of paper and has two-sided printing capability using two print mechanisms (14, 15). The motor control apparatus controls power to several DC motors that either move the paper web from a roll through the printer or provide back tension to the paper web (32). The control circuits sense paper travel speed and motor loading and thereby sense the effects on paper tension caused by others of the control circuits. The interaction of motor torques provided by the control circuits maintains constant tension on the paper web (32) throughout the printer and thereby assures that there is front to back printing registration on each two-sided printed sheet, and also assures that there is top to bottom centering registration of printing on each sheet of paper when the paper web is cut into individual sheets of paper.

Abstract: In a device for the vertical stacking of successively fed coins or the like disc-shaped articles, with a coin carrier which is connected to an endlessly rotating transport means and receives the coin stack and which is movable downwards in a stacking space of a coin-packaging machine in synchronism with the growth of the stack, the coin carriers are formed by an L-shaped finger, the first leg of which projects horizontally into the stacking space and the second leg of which is so connected to a pair of the endlessly rotating transport means that these engage on two mutually offset lateral pivot pins in relation to the longitudinal axis of the second leg. 
<??>The endlessly rotating transport means run in mutually parallel guide tracks which correspond in spacing to the width of the second leg and which are offset relative to one another in the vertical stacking direction according to the spacing of the lateral pivot pins. 
<??>This provides a coin-stacking device, in which the coins are stacked on a single stacking finger, so that the synchronisation problems for two (and more) stacking fingers necessary according to the state of the art are eliminated.

Abstract: A television tuner exhibits a common antenna connection (1) for two frequency bands which extend over the frequencies of VHF band I up to and including the hyper band. In this arrangement, an RF circuit filter (12) dimensioned for the two frequency bands and a preamplifier circuit (15) and two independent band filters (19, 21) are provided. To achieve very good receiving characteristics and high noise immunity with simple circuit configuration and little space requirement, the RF circuit filter (12) consists of a resonant circuit with switchable coils, by which the preselected signal is supplied via a common preamplifier (15) to a two-stage switching device (17) which is switched at the same time as the RF circuit filter (15).

Abstract: A casting machine comprises a pair of travelling block mold assemblies (22) each having a plurality of block mold members (23) endlessly connected to one another to define a cavity (27), and a mechanism for driving the block mold members (23) such that the block mold members of one travelling block mold assembly (22) move in synchronism with those of the other in a casting direction. Latticed grooves (25, 34, 35, 36) are form on at least an area of the inner wall of each of the block mold members (23) which combine with one another to form the cavity (27). Delays in the solidification of molten steel in the cavity (27) are intentionally caused by these grooves, with the result that the concentration of contraction stress caused by the solidification delays at those seams (3) along which the adjacent block mold members (23) are connected to each other to form the cavity (27) can thus be reduced to prevent the creation of cracks on surfaces of cast products.

Abstract: A system for reducing skew in the parallel transmission of digital data slices is provided. The system includes a transmitter unit comprising a plurality of transmitter memory devices. Control logic provides a strobe signal to each transmitter unit memory device to implement the transfer of a desired number of data characters from the transmitter unit to a receiver unit. Both its associated data slice and the strobe signal are transferred from each transmitter unit memory device to the bus via an associated transmitter unit bus driver. Each data slice and its associated strobe signal are then transferred from the bus to a corresponding receiver unit memory device via a corresponding receiver unit bus receiver device. Each receiver unit memory device includes means for generating a "receiver-full" status signal that indicates that all data slices transferred from the corresponding transmitter unit memory device have been received. These "receiver-full" status signals are monitored and a "transfer-done" status signal is issued when all data slices transferred from the transmitter unit have been received by the receiver unit. Skew within a particular transmission path is compensated for by providing a controlled delay path for the clock signal in each device within that path.

Abstract: The invention disclosed herein provides a passive rolled tape supply system which supplies at least one tape under tension, preferably constant, to a drive system withdrawin the tape. The system includes a mechanism for tensioning the tape as it is withdrawn and a locking mechanism for locking a roll on which the tape is wound. These mechanisms cooperate to perform the following functions: (a) when the tension on the tape is below a predetermined tension, and the tension on the tape is increased, the reel is locked and the tensioning mechanism maintains the tension at the desired value; (b) after the tension mechanism reaches a predetermined point (near the end of its range of travel), the reel is unlocked and is permitted to rotate and dispense tape therefrom as long as the tension on the tape is maintained at the predetermined tension; (c) when the withdrawing tension on the tape falls below the predetermined tension, the reel is locked, and the tensioning mechanism maintains tape tension by retracting any tape returned to the tape supply. A roller is mounted on a lever. The tape withdrawn from the reel 150 or 151 passes over the roller 160 or 165. The lever 161 or 166 pivots about the axis of the reel on which the tape is wound and moves the roller in opposite directions transverse to the axis. A spring device 173 urges the lever in the first direction. The reel 150 or 151 is locked by a pawl and ratchet mechanism. A spring 206 urges the pawl 197 into engagement with the ratchet wheel 199 to lock the reel. The pawl is disengaged from the ratchet wheel when the lever is pivoted to a predetermined position.
