Title: Optical measuring apparatus
IPC: G01N21/59
Filed: 1973-12-13
Abstract: 1406018 Photo-electric absorption measurements E SICK [trading as ERWIN SICK OPTIK-ELEKTRONIK] 13 Dec 1973 [23 Jan 1973] 57777/73 Heading G1A In an absorption measuring apparatus, e.g. a smoke or visibility meter, a reference light beam is formed by a diffuse reflector which is periodically placed between the measuring zone and the source so as to direct diffuse light from the source to the detector. In Fig. 3, light from lamp 40 passes via apertures 48 in disc 46, and via a transmitting sector of a disc 68, to a lens 52; the light then passes through a measuring zone to reflex reflector 56. It is reflected back through the sector of disc 68 to a beam-splitter 60 and thence to detector 62. The disc 68 is rotated by shaft 64, and has alternate transmissive and diffusely reflecting sectors, so that detector 62 receives alternately a measuring and a reference beam. Disc 46 modulates the lamp light so that a high pass filter in the detector circuitry, Figs. 6, 7 (not shown) can eliminate ambient light. The measuring and reference light signals are separated in the detector circuitry by switches operated by detectors 86, 88 which receive light from pipe 84 via arcuate slots in disc 68, and the ratio of the signals is a measure of absorption. A 100% reflector, Figs. 7, 8 (not shown) can be placed in front of lens 52 from time to time, on the measuring zone side thereof, to reflect the measuring beam back into the apparatus; this allows the amount of dirt on lens 52 to be measured. When this reflector is in place the output of the detector circuitry can be automatically compared with a pre-set value, Fig. 7 (not shown), and a warning lamp is illuminated if dirt on the lens causes the detector circuit output to be incorrect by more than, say, 2%. In Fig. 3, a diaphragm 58, lenses 50 and 52 are used to prevent an image of filament 40 of the lamp causing non uniform illumination of the reflex reflector 56. Details of the detector circuitry, filter, rectifier, switches and dirt comparator are given, Fig. 7 (not shown).

Title: Reprography machine controlled by information on master
IPC: B41F33/16
Filed: 1971-12-13
Abstract: 1381268 Selective signalling ADDRESSOGRAPH MULTIGRAPH CORP 13 Dec 1971 57838/71 Heading G4H [Also in Division B6] In a duplicating machine controlled by a control pattern on the master to be duplicated the pattern is sensed by a single sensing device and converted from serial to parallel form by a store. Each master has a row of 2-state control marks along two edges, and may have adjacent clocking marks as well. While a master is being duplicated, the marks on the top master of a stack of masters waiting in a hopper are read by a scanner which can be rotated through 90 degrees (to read either edge) and has a sensing head which moves along the edge. The control marks are gated into storage by a clock counter driven by clock pulses from the clocking marks (or if these are not provided, from an emitter on the shaft driving the sensing head). When this master comes to be duplicated, the store contents are variously set in complemented form into control counters to control the numbers of copy sheets used from two separate hoppers and the numbers of copies routed to two pockets. The numbers routed to further pockets are controlled by a programme on tape selected by another section of the store contents. The control counters are counted up to capacity to produce their respective control signals. As a modification, the control marks could be read during the duplicating, for each revolution of the cylinder then holding the master, control signals being produced on " compare equal " conditions.

Patent GB-732267-A (GB)
Abstract: 732,267. Converting. AKT.-GES. BROWN, BOVERI, & CIE. Jan. 8, 1953 [Jan. 8, 1952], No. 627/53. Class 38 (2). An arrangement for commutating electric discharge vessels in order to improve the power factor in the supply mains 1, 2, 3 and particularly an arrangement which supplies a multiphase commutatorless converter fed motor 17 for reversing operation is characterized in that each phase terminal 5 (or 4 or 6) is connected in opposed parallel relation by way of two grid controlled discharge paths 13, 43 with each phase of the supply mains, one of the paths being controlled as a rectifier with respect to the mains voltage and as an inverter with respect to the motor voltage whilst at the same time the other path is controlled as an inverter with respect to the mains voltage and as a rectifier with respect to the motor voltage; and that in any operational state of the motor at any time the commutating of the discharge paths in one current direction is advanced in relation to the neutral ignition time with respect to the mains voltage whilst the commutating of the discharge paths in the other current carrying direction is retarded wth respect to that time. The discharge vessels have their cathodes connected in groups of three and control of the supply mains voltage allows the motor to operate under motoring at regenerative braking conditions. The grid voltages are applied by means of synchronously rotating contactors 18-39 which together with two rotary transformers and two rotary contactors 30, 31 provide grid voltages having two components 180 degrees out of phase with each other. The rotary transformers are simultaneously adjusted in opposite directions to afford control of the motor speed and the regenerative braking thereof. In another embodiment of the invention the vessels for one direction of current flow are operated as rectifiers with natural commutation and as inverters with forced commutation whilst the vessels for the other direction of current flow are operated as rectifiers with forced commutation and as inverters wth natural commutation; thus the vessels on the left side of Fig. 3, independently of current flow, may operate continuously with natural commutation and those on the right side continuously with forced commutation. Specification 605,371 and German Specification 671,651 are referred to.
