Title: Addressable electrical systems
IPC: G06F12/06
Filed: 1974-12-10
Abstract: 1459889 Addressing modular stores INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 10 Dec 1974 [17 April 1974] 53269/74 Heading G4C An arrangement of addressable units, e.g. storage modules, each including an integral number (1, 2, ..., n) of address blocks each block including a predetermined basic number of addressable elements, has for each module an associated replaceable, plug-in, address decoding unit C 1 -C 8 , the decoding units being hardwired, connected in series, in accordance with block addresses assigned to the address blocks in the associated modules, and arranged to determine whether an applied block address corresponds to a block in the associated module unit. The arrangement allows a storage module to be replaced by simply replacing the associated address decoding unit with a decoding unit corresponding to the number of address blocks in the replacement storage module, no change being required in any of the other decoding units. Each address decoding unit C 1 -C 8  is a hardwired module which is plugged into a base 10, the units C associated with storage modules having equal numbers of address blocks being identical. Two embodiments are described. In the first each unit introduces a 1-bit end around shift in a binary number applied at its inputs 13 for each address block over and above the basic block (which may be 4K addresses) present in the associated storage module and applies the resulting number to the next unit in the sequence. Thus unit C2 (8Ks) applies a 1-bit shift and unit C3 (16Ks) a 3-bit shift, An input number with a 0 in the lowest place and l's elsewhere is applied to the first unit and each unit includes an encoder 15 which, in response to the position in the input number of the 0-bit, derives a binary code indicative of the number of address blocks, over and above the basic one address block per module, which precede the corresponding unit. Each unit receives, over lines 18, a base address which is a binary code indicative of the position of the unit in the sequence and thus of the number of basic address blocks in the sequence before that unit. By adding, 16, the encoded number and the base address number each unit derives a number equal to the number of address blocks which precede it and this number is compared, 22, with the block part of a required address supplied at 20. Each comparator produces a match signal 23 to access the associated addressable unit when the block address is equal to or greater than, but only up to an amount corresponding to the number of address blocks in the associated module, the adder output. The second embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), is similar to the first except that the base addresses and adders are not used, each decoding unit C introducing a 1-bit shift in the applied number for each block of addresses, including the basic block, in the corresponding storage module.

Title: Method of erecting a wall structure in a mine working
IPC: C04B28/14
Filed: 1970-11-11
Abstract: 1333011 Mine workings KNAUF WESTDEUTSCHE GIPSWERKE Gebr and SAARBERGWERKE AG 11 Nov 1970 [14 Nov 1969] 53559/70 Heading E1F [Also in Division C1] A method for erecting wall structures in mine workings includes mixing gypsum cement with water and pumping the mixture through a pipe to the erection site, the gypsum cement containing respectively hydrophobic, flow improving, non- or weakly-ionogenic colloidal, and finely ground latently hydraulic (i.e. becoming hydraulic on admixture with an actuator) additives. The cement slurry is mixed at a remote location to a thin cream consistency and pumped by an eccentric worm pump through a firefighting hose to an aperture in one of two shuttering walls placed across the working to confine the cement. The shuttering comprises a wood frame covered with canvas sheeting. The shuttering may be built up and the hose raised step by step as the level of cement rises. The flow improving additives may comprise epoxidized soya oil, partially unsaturated fatty acid ester, long chain paraffin or a stearate, which reduce tackiness. Alternatively, a viscosity reducing agent such as the residue from drying waste sulphite liquor may be used. The hydrophic additive is an organosiloxane such as potassium siliconate. The colloid may comprise starch and hydrolysed protein. The latently hydraulic additive is blast furnace slag. Quantities are given. Setting time is between 5 and 25 minutes. The wall structure may comprise dams and anchoring abutments for sealing walls; fire-proof and explosion resistant walls; stoppings for holes in workings, and fillings for cavities caused by collapses underground. Walls may be erected in areas which have already been walled off and are filled with firedamp.

Abstract: 1446467 Spray carburetters YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KK 19 Nov 1973 [24 Nov 1972] 53627/73 Heading F1B Liquid fuel from an idling port 31 opening to the substantially horizontal induction passage adjacent the upper edge of the minimally open butterfly throttle valve 7 is prevented from flowing along the upper part of the induction passage wall to the downstream end of the passage and directed downwardly to the junctions between the valve shaft 33 and the passage wall. From the junctions the fuel is directed on to the lower part of the valve 7 to flow downwardly and be entrained by air-flowing through the clearance 42 between the lower part of the valve and the passage wall. In the embodiment shown a groove 36 collects the liquid fuel which flows down the groove to be deflected by the surfaces 40 formed on the valve shaft 33 on either side of a flat 39B. The upper portion of the groove (36A), Fig. 5 (not shown), may have an upstream side wall extending in a curve from the induction passage wall to the base (136B) of the groove. The groove may lead to bores (64), Fig. 6 (not shown), extending through the valve shaft 33. A partcylindrical member (36B, 36C), Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown), may be inserted in the upper part of the induction passage 3 downstream of the port 31 and define a fuel guiding plain or concave surface (136D, 136E) leading to the shaft deflecting surfaces 40. The deflecting surfaces associated with the throttle valve (7A), Figs. 9 and 10 (not shown), may be defined in part by shaft surfaces (54) and in part by crescent shaped plate members (55) on the downstream face of the valve. A groove (58), Figs. 11 to 14 (not shown), in the induction passage wall and the concave upstream end (60) of a part-cylindrical insert (136G) in the passage may define a fuel passage having an upstream opening (36E) of decreasing width over the portion of the fuel passage extending from the uppermost part of the passage, the passage being closed at the lower end portions extending to deflecting surfaces (62) on the valve shaft (61).

Abstract: 1,105,369. Comparison circuits. COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE THOMSON-HOUSTONHOTCHKISS BRANDT. Dec. 22, 1965 [Dec. 23, 1964], No. 54424/65. Heading G1U. In a circuit in which a number of input signals V 1 , V 2 , V 3  are compared by finding the difference between each pair and feeding the difference to trigger circuits e.g. 3, 4, the triggering threshold is constantly proportional to the average of the input signals being compared. The average value of the input signals produced at D is fed to a first potentiometer 8 and, via an inverter 11, to a second potentiometer 12 to produce positive and negative threshold reference voltages for the trigger circuits, e.g. 3, 4. If for example V 1  differs from V 2  and V 3  circuit 3 or 4 will trigger (depending on whether V 1  is greater or less than V 2 ) to feed an output to logic circuit 5. An output from 5 is then fed back to gate 6 to close the channel from V 1  to the averaging circuit.

In the method of producing a three layer semi-conductor device according to Specification 1,124,762 in which a raised portion is formed on one face of a wafer, the opposite face is masked to define an outer area and an inner area which lies completely within the projection of the raised portion on to that face, and an impurity is diffused into the wafer until three layers are produced with the junctions extending to said opposite face, the masking layer is of silicon nitride. A layer of silicon nitride is deposited on a silicon wafer by reacting silane with ammonia in the presence of excess hydrogen. The layer is then photomasked and etched using hydrofluoric acid to produce the mask. If the wafer is N-type the impurity diffused-in may be gallium or aluminium, and if the wafer is P-type the impurity may be phosphorus. A further region may be produced to form an SCR.
