Title: Telecommunications exchange systems
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1971-07-20
Abstract: 1336077 Switching networks SIEMENS AG 20 July 1971 [21 July 1970] 33951/71 Heading H4K Two 2 Î 2 crosspoint switching arrays Al, A2, are interconnected as shown in Fig. 2 so that any terminal 1, 2, 3 or 4 may be connected to any other. The 2 Î 2 arrays, referred to as binary switching multiples, have only two switching states comprising a crossed mode or an uncrossed mode in which inlets I1 and I2 are connected to outlets II2 and II1 respectively or II1 and II2 respectively. Networks employing such binary arrays are described in the Bell System Technical Journal for May-June 1968, at page 813, and allow an array of inlets access to an array of outlets. By employing, in an intermediate stage of such a network, a stage of binary arrays in which some of the arrays at least are disposed orthogonally with respect to the arrays of the rest of the network, as A2 is disposed relative to A1, it is possible to effect connections not only between inlets and outlets but also between inlets and inlets and outlets and outlets. Such a network is shown in Fig. 3 in which any one of 8 terminals can be connected to any other. Stages of binary arrays A, B and D, E, comprising networks of the known sort are interconnected by a stage C of orthogonally disposed arrays C1, C2, which in their crossed switching states provide connections between stages B and D, and in their uncrossed switching states provide a path for connections to be turned back into the stages from which they originate. The intermediate stage C may comprise pairs of 2 Î 2 switching arrays of the kind shown in Fig. 2, in place of each single array Cl, C2. The networks can be non-blocking if paths are subject to rearrangement as circumstances change. Since each binary switching array of the networks can be controlled to its crossed or uncrossed mode by means of a single bit of information, the network can be controlled without the use of decoders and with as many bits as there are binary switching arrays. By controlling the binary switching arrays with recirculating stores operated in synchronism with time division multiplex highways the network may be used as a PCM switching system with rearrangement of channel paths provided to avoid blocking. The network may be degenerated if groups of terminals do not require connections between one another, Fig. 5, not shown.

Title: Improvements relating to speed regulation of induction motors
IPC: H02K17/40
Filed: 1920-12-02
Abstract: 155,820. K÷hn, E. Dec. 20, 1919, [Convention date]. Alternating - current induction machines. - Induction motors are regulated between certain limits of speed by connecting the motor secondary circuit to a rotary or other converter linked to independent direct current mains through a reversible booster having a regulable field, the effect being to add or subtract a voltage to that which is normally impressed on the motor by the alternating current mains. In the form shown in Fig. 1 the induction motor 2 is connected through a reversing switch 6 to a rotary converter 5, of which the direct current side is connected through a reversible booster 20 driven by an auxiliary motor 25 and having a regulable field 22, to direct current mains 7. A reverse current relay acting to put resistance in the direct current circuit may be added, the object being to guard against reversal of energy flow between the converter and the mains 7. The booster field may be compounded by a winding 23 in order to increase the flexibility of the arrangement. Instead of the auxiliary motor 25, the main motor 2 may be utilized for driving the booster 20. In a modified arrangement, shown in Fig. 6, the booster and its driving motor are combined into one machine 20 similar to a rotary converter. The regulation of the booster may in this case be effected by transformers 18. Voltage and speed diagrams for the various arrangements are given in the Specification.

Title: Improvements in or relating to devices for temporarily holding the pointers of moving coil systems in positions of deflection
IPC: G03B7/12
Filed: 1956-11-08
Abstract: 832,362. Mechanical relay and follow-up devices. HERTERICH, W. Nov. 8, 1956, No. 34147/56. Class 118 (2). [Also in Group XX] A stop for temporarily securing in its posi. tion of deflection the pointer 6 of a moving coil system 7, associated with a lever 17 for cocking a member 1 having sensing teeth 3, comprises a stirrup 8 influenced by a spring 11 and extending over the path of the pointer 6, the stirrup 8 being actuated by the sensing member 1 in the cocking thereof, firstly to release the pointer for deflection and secondly to brake the pointer while its position is sensed. A reading is obtained from an exposure meter incorporating the invention by pressing a button 20 to rock the double lever 19, 17 against the action of the spring 18 which is stronger than the spring 11. In its consequent movement, the projection 15 of the member 1 engages a stop 14 on the side 9 of the stirrup 8 rocking it until the arm 10 enters the toothless gap 16 of the member 1. This frees the pointer 6 for displacement by the system 7 in accordance with the light intensity measured thereby. Upon release of the button 20 the member 1 moves free of the stirrup 8 which is urged by the spring 11 to bend the pointer 6 against the side of the slot 5, Tig. 3, in the casing, thus temporarily locking it in its position of displacement. The member 1 continues to move until, the appropriate sensing tooth 2 engages the pointer 6, the spring 18 overcomes the spring 11 and both pointer 6 and stirrup 8 move across the slot 5 until the arm 10 engages a locking tooth 3 in the member 1, whereupon a numeral of a scale marked on the side of the member 1 indicates the light value through a window 4<1>. in the casing. The window 41 may be adjusted in position in accordance with film sensitivity. An embodiment with a sensing member having a rotary movement is also described. Specification 781,016 is referred to.

Filed: 1930-11-13
Abstract: 366,614. Filling plastic or pulverulent material into containers. WOOD, E. W., 51, Church Street, Middleton, near Manchester. Nov. 13, 1930, No. 34173. [Class 94 (i).] Paste, mincemeat, and like substances are filled into glass, wood, fibre, metal or paper receptacles. The containers A are moved into position by fingers c on a horizontal chain C passing round sprocket wheels 16, 17, and arrive below a filling nozzle j<1> and above a plunger K. The plunger is raised by a weight K<2> on an arm K<1> and elevates the container into the position shown in broken lines, the nozzle extending approximately to the bottom. A worm J in a hopper j rotates and forces the material through the filling nozzle j<1>, the weight of the material and the pressure of the worm overcoming the weight K<2> and causing the container to be depressed to the position shown in Fig. 4. A final downward movement of the container is effected by a lever N, an inclined surface n of which engages a stop n<1> and causes it to move downwards as it is moved to the right by a lever L. The movement of the lever N may be used to actuate a cutting device to sever the material in the container from that in the nozzle. The container is now moved away and the cycle recommences. The various movements are driven from a main shaft H, the worm J being in operation while the receptacle feed 16, 17 is stationary and vice versa. A shaft F carries a sliding clutch 4 adapted to be moved alternately into engagement with gears driving the chains e, j<2> respectively. The clutch is moved by a forked member P, operated from a scroll cam, which actuates a lever O<2> to move the clutch, arms o<1>, o<2> on a rocking stirrup piece O<1> acting alternately as abutments between the member P and the lever O<2>.

Abstract: 1,159,581. Laminating processes. E. S. & A. ROBINSON Ltd. 3 Aug., 1966 [12 Aug., 1965], No. 34619/65. Heading B5N. [Also in Division C7] Metallized composite material is produced by forming a permanent flexible layer of a polymeric material which is insoluble in a given solvent on one face of a temporary substrate of a material which is soluble in that solvent, metallizing the polymeric material, dissolving away the temporary substrate and applying the face of the polymeric layer thus exposed to a permanent substrate. The temporary substrate may be of water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide or modified starch and cellulose material, in which case it may subsequently be removed by hot water or steam and the polymeric layer may be of rollercoated copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene or extruded thermoplastic, e.g. polyamide. Alternatively, the temporary substrate may be of cellulose acetate, which is subsequently removed by acetone, with a polymeric layer of vinylidene chloride homopolymer. The polymeric layer may be applied in a discontinuous fashion, by printing with a solution of a polyimide. The polymeric layer may be metallized by vapour deposition of aluminium. Where steam is used to remove the temporary substrate, the polymeric layer may be softened for immediate lamination to the permanent substrate which may be of woven material such as asbestos cloth for use in the manufacture of heat protective clothing.
