Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for continuously pumping flowable concrete mix to elevated heights for introduction into forms (22, 24) used in the fabrication of annular structures such as concrete hyperbolic cooling towers (10). A tower crane (26) is erected in the center of the circle for the hyperbolic structure and concrete conveying piping (52, 100) is provided for raising mix to a lateral conduit (82) carried by a secondary boom (64) suspended from the swingable overhead jib (42) of the crane. A pumping unit (50) at ground level forces concrete mix up the vertical piping on the tower and thence through the boom supported conduit (82) for delivery into the form structure (22). The jib (42) and thereby the boom (64) suspended therefrom are swingable through an arc of 180° in one direction to cover one half of the form structure (22, 24) and then the jib (42) and boom (64) may be swung in the opposite direction through the remaining 180° arc for introduction of mix into the form structure (22, 24). The tower crane (26) is of the type having a climbing cage permitting lifting of additional mast units to the top of the stack (32) thereof using the jib as a lifting medium to increase the height of the crane. Corresponding pipe sections (52) on the tower mast units allow delivery of concrete mix to increasingly higher elevations as fabrication of the hyperbolic structure progresses. The length of the secondary boom (64) and thereby the laterally extending conduit (82) supported thereby may be increased or decreased as necessary to accommodate the changing diameter of the hyperbolic concrete shell (20) during construction.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for controlling the movement of a movable element (20 or 22) between an initial starting position and a final stopping position. The apparatus comprises drive means (34 or 36) coupled to the movable element and responsive to motor drive signals for moving the movable element (20 or 22) along a predefined path between the starting and stopping positions. The apparatus generates an actual velocity signal indicative of the actual speed of movement of the movable element, a position signal indicative of the distance remaining to travel by the movable element toward the desired stopping position and first and second command velocity signals respectively indicative of the minimum and maximum desired velocity levels for such particular distance remaining to travel. A controller (26) is responsive to the position signal for comparing the actual velocity signal with each of the first and second command velocity signals when the value of the position signal indicates the movable element has greater than a predetermined distance to travel, and for issuing the motor drive signals in response to such comparison for application to the drive means (34 or 36) to cause (a) the acceleration of the movable element (20 or 22) by the drive means when the comparison indicates the actual velocity of the movable element is less than the minimum desired velocity, (b) the coasting of the movable element when the comparison indicates the actual velocity of the movable element is more than the minimum desired velocity and less than the maximum desired velocity, and (c) the deceleration of the movable element by the drive means when the comparison indicates the actual velocity of the movable element exceeds the maximum desired velocity.

Abstract: An elastomeric strip has a support frame having selected regions of longitudinally displaceable frame portions such as wire loops reinforced by degraded and non-degraded materials that are non-degradable during the frame coating operation for inhibiting longitudinal displacement of the frame portions during the frame coating operation. The degraded material breaks down when the strip is flexed to allow increased flexibility of the strip, and the non-degraded material prevents undue elongation or stretching of the strip. A method of manufacturing the strip comprises reinforcing regions of the frame portions with degradable materials, arranging the reinforced support frame in position to be coated, coating the reinforced support frame with an elastomeric material, and then degrading selective regions of the degradable reinforcing materials.

Abstract: A data processing arrangement is designed to handle two dimensional data arrays. An operation is performed on each element in the data array which is partially dependent on the nature of the neighbouring data elements which surround it. In this way particular characteristics of the two dimensional array can be detected or removed, i.e. picture edges can be detected or noise can be removed. Each element and its neighbouring elements are used to address to a store which holds the results of performing the corresponding operation. In practice, the two dimensional array of data arrives as a continuous data bit stream so that a window corresponding to a particular element and its neighbouring elements is scanned systematically across the two dimensional array. The arrangement is capable of operating extremely rapidly so as to handle a continuously arriving data stream. The operations performed on the data can be readily changed by altering the nature of the stored results. A data element which consists of a digital word having a number of bits is handled by causing each bit of data significance in the digital word to access a store to determine its corresponding result, after which the various results for the data bits in the digital word are combined to produce the final required value.

Abstract: Structural features:    - Analog-working keys.   - Digitally encoded audio signal sequences for all sounds in a universally addressed memory, and more precisely the working memory of a microprocessor.   - Each instantaneous amplitude value is assigned a residual effect value so that each audio signal sequence carries the tone frequency information with it.   - The microprocessor controls a musical signal generator in real time, i.e. it influences the loudness and possibly the tone pitch during the sounding of the sounds.    - Purely digital structure.    Functional features:   - Individual key selection of loudness, can also be changed during sounding.   - Rise and fall behaviour freely programmable, also with actually constant change of sound spectrum.   - Permanent formants of any type also freely programmable, as a result of which any wind instruments can also be simulated well.   - Simultaneously different sound characteristics possible, e.g. trombone for left hand and trumpet for right hand.    (continuation next page)   - Quasi random variations in tone pitch, loudness and sound character programmable.   - Automatic addition of a second and third voice also programmable with changing tone frequency ratio.    - Stereophony possible. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A novel zener diode is formed which is suitable for use either as a discrete zener diode, or as one element of an integrated circuit device. In one embodiment, a zener diode is fabricated utilizing an additional introduction of dopants in the zener diode, while forming other devices without this additional dopant introduction. Thus, the zener diode is formed having a large channel width, and therefore low series resistance and high parasitic JFET pinchoff voltage, while the remaining devices are formed having the desired current gains. In another embodiment, the zener diode is fabricated wherein the PN junction of the zener diode located at portions near the surface of the device are specifically fabricated to have higher zener breakdown voltages than the zener breakdown voltage of the zener diode PN junction located beneath the surface of the zener diode, thereby providing improved zener diode characteristics as compared with certain zener diodes of the prior art where the zener breakdown occurs at the surface of the device.

Abstract: In a distributed computer control system in which remote stations are interconnected by a communications link, the remote stations take turns having supervisory control over the communications link. Each remote is numbered in sequence in a predetermined succession order and takes its turn having control of the communications link in accordance with this succession order. When a remote station has completed its turn of having supervisory control, it transmits a first control message over the communications link. The next remote station in the succession order then takes control over the communications link by transmitting a second control message over the communications link. Each remote station has two variable timers which are set in response to said first control message and said second control message, respectively, and have time out intervals depending upon the offset of the receiving remote station from the remote station which transmitted the control message. If and when any of these variable timers times out in a given remote station, then that remote station will assume control of the communications link by transmitting the second control message on the communications link.
