Abstract: 1463102 Welding by pressure BRITISH LEYLAND UK Ltd 21 Aug 1975 [22 May 1974] 22772/74 Heading B3R In a resistance spot welding machine comprising a movable and a fixed electrode, a safety means is provided wherein after the insertion of a workpiece between spaced apart electrodes, the movable electrode is lowered to a distance small enough to prevent an operator's finger from being inserted between the electrodes (e.g. “ inch) under a pressure low enough such that if the operator's hand is inserted lowering of the electrode will be halted by resistance of the hand, before welding pressure and welding current is supplied to the electrode. In operation, after a workpiece has been inserted between the two electrodes (not shown) an electrode-operating pedal is released causing compressed air to enter a chamber 4 of a cylinder 1, the pressure being in excess of that of air in a second chamber 6, so forcing first and second pistons 2, 3, and consequently a piston rod extension 3a supporting the movable electrode, downwardly. The pressure difference between the chambers 4 and 6 is such that the downward movement will be halted if an operator places his hand under the movable electrode. On reaching a distance “ inch from the workpiece the current is switched on, by a position switch 17 responsive to the position of the piston 2 and air at full welding pressure is introduced into an inter-piston chamber 5 causing rapid downward movement of the piston 3 and the movable electrode and subsequent spot welding upon clamping of the workpiece. A reducing valve 10 controls the rate of lowering of the electrode to within “ inch of the workpiece. Pedal control acts by way of a solenoid valve 15.

Abstract: 1350877 Semi-conductor storage cells BURROUGHS CORP 16 May 1972 [28 May 1971] 22844/72 Heading H3T A resistor 60 develops an output voltage from the current in a read-out line 28 of an array, and it is initially shunted by a F.E.T. 90 to discharge inter-line capacitance 32. A storage cell 66, such as a two-emitter phototransistor 34, is selected by taking an address line 25 to + 2v which reverse-biases one emitter 41 in cell 66. The collector is connected to substrate, and provided a binary 1 (say) has been photoelectrically stored in T34, the second emitter 42 conducts through line 28 and R60. The +2v pulse on line 25 however revises C32 by +2v, and because R60 is large in order to produce a useful output voltage from the small output current from cell 66, it is shunted by F.E.T. 90 to discharge the lower plate of C32 to earth and thereby make a usable indication at 64 of the binary state of cell 66 available more quickly. The F.E.T. 90 has a gate 92 driven by emitter follower 84, and may also have a second gate 94 as shown, biased at + 5v. When F.E.T. 90 is turned off to enable output terminal 64 to register the binary state of the addressed cell 66, the change in gate potential necessary to do this may be transmitted by gate-drain capacitance to give rise to a transient pulse at 68 (86, Fig. 8, not shown) which interferes with the output signal. To compensate for this, an equal and opposite transient signal is passed by C88 from T84 collector to the same point 68.

Abstract: 661,736. Pulse circuits. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Sept. 8, 1949 [Oct. 20, 1948], No. 23247/49. Class 40 (vi). A coincidence circuit comprises at least two valves which are connected in parallel and have a common cathode load resistor the control electrode of each valve is biassed from an intermediate tapping on the common cathode resistor, individual signals are applied to the control electrodes and an output is taken from the load resistor. The Figure shows a coincidence circuit comprising valves 10, 11 and 12 connected with their anode-cathode paths in parallel and in which the control grids are biassed from a tapping on the common cathode resistor 31. The valves are all normally conducting when no signals are applied at the inputs 13, 14 and 15. When a negative going input pulse is applied at one only of the inputs or simultaneously at two of the inputs to cutoff the valve to which an input is applied the reductions in current flow in these valves is approximately equal to the increased current flow in the remaining valve or valves. There is thus no substantial voltage change across resistor 31. When, however, negative going pulses are applied simultaneously at all three inputs 13, 14, 15 the current flow through resistor 31 is greatly reduced the potential at the cathode end of this resistor thus falls and the biassed diode 36 conducts to produce a negative output pulse at terminal 42.
