Inventor: TURNER JONATHAN SHIELDS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1983-10-26
Abstract: A communication method and packet switching system in which packets comprising logical addresses and voice/ data information are communicated through the system by packet switching networks (116) which are interconnected by high speed digital trunks (118) with each of the latter being directly terminated on both ends by trunk controllers (131). During initial call setup of a particular call, central processors (115) associated with each network in the desired route store the necessary logical to physical address information in the controllers which perform all logical to physical address translations on subsequent packets of the call. Each network comprises duplicated arrays (170, 171) with each array having stages of switching nodes which are responsive to the physical address associated with a packet by a controller to communicate this packet to a designated subsequent node. Each trunk controller alternately transmits packets to available ones of the duplicated arrays as the packets are received from the attached trunk. If an array is unavailable for a time interval specified at initialization time by the associate processor, an affected trunk controller detects and transmits this fact to the associated processor via a maintenance message. Each trunk controller provides variable packet buffering and signalling protocols for each of the arrays in order to facilitate the transfer of packets from the arrays to the attached trunk.

Abstract: In a paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the present invention, continuously fed paper sheets (P) are received by rotating blade wheels (9a, 9b), and are then dropped from the blade wheels (9a, 9b) at a predetermined position by means of a stationary stop (2c). A separator (16) capable of rotating coaxially with the blade wheels (9a, 9b) is stopped at the paper sheet dropping position to bear thereon the first of many sheaves of paper sheets to be allotted out of the dropped paper sheets (P). The paper sheets (P) on the separator (16) is temporarily transferred to an auxiliary stacking unit (51), and the separator (16) is removed from the blade wheels (9a, 9b). Then, the separator (16) is rotated without touching the paper sheets (P) and stopped at a position beside a stand-by position where it waits for the first paper sheet out of the next sheaf of paper sheets (P) to be inserted into the blade wheels (9a, 9b). Thereafter, the separator (16) is moved further toward the blade wheels (9a, 9b) and stopped at the stand-by position. Meanwhile, the paper sheets (P) on the auxiliary stacking unit (51) are transferred to a main stacking unit (41) so that the main stacking unit (41) can receive and bear thereon the paper sheets (P) to be dropped thereafter. Thus, regular sheaves (Po) of papersheets (P) each consisting of a predetermined number of sheets may successively be formed on the main stacking unit (41) without interrupting the feed of the paper sheets (P) to the blade wheels (9a, 9b).

Abstract: A seed disk (28) rotates inside a housing (14, 16) between a seed chamber and a vacuum chamber. The vacuum acts through holes through the disk and single seeds are picked up in cells on the seed chamber side (42) of the disk (28) and carried round to a discharge chute, In order to clean out debris from the seed chamber a narrow gap (82) is provided between the margin of the disk and a facing strip (68) attached to the housing. The gap is too narrow for seeds to escape. To promote the escape of debris through the gap to a slot (94) in the housing, the strip (66) tapers so that the gap enlarges radially outwards and, around the margin of the disk (28), there is formed a series of recesses (91) separated by ribs. Different disks (28) are mounted on a hub of the seed meter with different spacers which determined the size of the gap (82) appropriate to the seeds to which the disk is adapted.

Abstract: An endless sealing strip (48) has a base portion (52) which is held in a mounting channel inside the housing of a seed meter, and a lip (54) springing from the base portion. The lip bears against one face of a seed disk to define, with the disk and the housing, a vacuum chamber which applies suction through holes in the disk to pick up seeds from a seed chamber on the opposite side of the disk and carry them to a discharge sector where they drop off the disk and down a planting chute. The major part (84) of the seal lies on a circle outside the path of the holes. In the discharge sector the seal has a re-entrant portion (92) which is set inside the path of the holes so that suction is not applied over the discharge sector, in order that the seeds may drop off the disk.

Abstract: An agricultural machine has a driven sprocket (46) coupled to a seed meter attachment on the machine by a pair of axially projecting lugs (56, 58) integral with the drive sprocket and a pair of lugs (66, 68) transmitting rotary drive to a shaft (96) of the seed meter (10). The driven lugs (66, 68) project axially from a transverse bar which is pivotally mounted in a block (74) so that the lugs can spring together clear of the driving lugs when only one lug is pushed. This allows the seed meter (10) to be removed in a direction transverse to the shaft axis regardless of the rotational position of the lugs. The driven lugs (66, 68) are spring biased to project axially. The spring may provide over-centre action so that the lugs are also stable when folded right down away from the driving lugs (56, 58), in a modified embodiment, the driving lugs (56, 58) also are pivotally mounted in the same way.
