Title: A code translator
IPC: G11C21/00
Filed: 1966-02-28
Abstract: 1,069,359. Converting data to machine code. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Feb. 28, 1966 [March 2, 1965], No. 8605/66. Heading G4A. A translator for converting characters in several different codes on a plurality of incoming lines to a single machine code comprises a memory storing code information of all possible characters in each of the codes, the characters in each code being stored in the same predetermined order, and means for comparing each incoming character with the code information stored in the memory to determine the position of the corresponding character in its respective code so that the machine code in the corresponding position may be supplied to the processing unit. In the embodiment described (Figs. 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, not shown) the memory is a magnetostrictive delay line (41) or sonic delay line which timewise is divided into two parts, a buffer section storing the line addresses each of which is followed by spaces into which may be inserted two characters transmitted over the line and a decode section in which for each code there is a code identification bit and a reproduction of all the characters of that code in a predetermined order. Characters from, for example, transmission line k are read in when the address of transmission line k is in a serial shift register (47) the output from which on conductors (105) enable AND gates (107) during clock times 1-8 to enable a further AND gate (89) so that during clock times 8-16 AND gates (81) are enabled to read in the first character on transmission line k. Similarly during clock times 17-24 a second character may be read in. When an unknown character is passed from the delay line (41) to a serial shift register (47) the bits are transferred in parallel to a compare register (115). The characters of all the codes are then circulated through the serial shift register each being compared with the character in the compare register (115). Under the control of a counter (141), the count which is reset at the start of each new code, is stopped when a comparison is obtained so that when the machine code is circulated through the serial shift register the character in the position corresponding to the count in the counter is transferred to the compare register and hence to the machine for processing.

Abstract: A vaccine active against at least one of the following, namely Braxy in sheep, Black disease and Blackleg in sheep or cattle comprises an aqueous preparation including at least one of the following namely (A) at least 2.5 total combining units per ml. of preparation of toxoided toxin from a toxigenic strain of Clostridium septicum; (B) at least 5.0 flocculation equivalents per ml. of preparation of toxoided a -toxin from a toxigenic strain of Clostridium oedematiens type B and (C) at least 106 per ml. of preparation of killed cells of a toxigenic strain of Clostridium chauvoei, which cells may be partially or wholly replaced by an extract thereof, the preparation containing p  not more than 1.0 mg. total nitrogen or 1.0 mg. protein nitrogen per individual antigenic component of the vaccine.  The vaccine is prepared by culturing separately a toxigenic strain of Cl. chauvoei, Cl. septicum or Cl. oedematiens type B in a culture medium therefor; separating the cells from the culture medium; where required, toxoiding the toxin in the medium and ultrafiltering the medium to remove some of the water and medium ingredients; where required, killing the separated cells and, where required, extracting the whole or part of said cells; followed, where required, by blending the products so obtained to form a vaccine as above.  The blackleg vaccine is obtained by cultivating Cl. chauvoei in a nutrient medium containing enzymatic digest of meat at pH 7.6 to 7.8 at 37 DEG  C. under anaerobic conditions for 48 hours.  After centrifugation, the cells are killed by formalinisation (1%) for 7-10 days until sterile.  The medium is filtered and treated with 1% formalin at pH 7.4 and 37 DEG  C. for 5 to 6 days to form toxoid.  It is purified by (a) ultrafiltration through a collodion or cellulose membrane until the volume of the medium is reduced 50 times; (b) dialysis of the concentrated toxoided toxin against sodium acetate/acetic acid solution for 2 to 3 days and redissolving the precipitate so formed in a phosphate buffer at pH 6.5.  Both killed cells and the purified toxoided toxin may be separately absorbed on to a parenterally acceptable absorbent such as aluminium hydroxide gel and then mixed together to form a vaccine which may also contain isotonic sodium chloride and a preservative.  The braxy vaccine consists of a toxoid and lysate of cells of Cl. septicum.  The lysate being prepared by treating the cells with strong saline and dialysing to remove inorganic salts.  Braxy, Blackleg and Black Disease vaccines may be mixed, either singly or in combination, with preparations active against tetanus and/or Pulpy Kidney Disease in lambs.  Specification 901,433 is referred to.

Title: Spring end grinding machine
IPC: B24B41/04
Filed: 1960-03-14
Abstract: 885,761. Grinding spring ends. HACK, K. March 14, 1960 [May 15, 1959], No. 8865/60. Class 60. A spring and grinding machine having opposed coaxial grinding discs at least one of which is axially movable relatively to the other is characterised by hydraulic means for displacing the mounting for said movable disc in either direction axially between fixed limits, and screw means for adjusting the grinding disc axially relatively to the said mounting. In a spring end grinding machine having opposed horizontal grinding discs the spindle Sp of the upper disc S is mounted in the lower end of a sleeve 12 vertically movable on the inside of a pillar 1 secured to the machine frame G. The upper end of the sleeve 12 is formed as a nut engaged by a screw-threaded spindle 27 secured to a cap 16a which is rotatable, but not axially movable, relatively to a part 13a. The cap 16a is connected to a sleeve 16 having handles 18 and a scale 17. To adjust the disc S relatively to the lower grinding disc in accordance with the length of the springs being ground, the sleeve 16 is rotated by the handles 18, thus, rotating the cap 16a, relatively to the part 13a, and the spindle 27, relatively to the sleeve 12, so that the latter is moved vertically, relatively to the part 13a, within the pillar 1. Rapid vertical adjustment of the grinding disc S relatively to the lower grinding disc to permit the introduction of a trueing device between the discs for trueing them is effected hydraulically as follows. A sleeve 13 has secured thereto members 14,15 guided on a sleeve 5 surrounding and secured to the pillar 1; the member 14 is secured to the part 13a. The sleeve 5 carries packings 7, 8. The sleeve 13 carries packings 6, 9 and rings 19, 20 forming reaction surfaces for the pressure medium. Two working cylinders 3, 4 are thus formed. Pressure medium, e.g. oil, passes from an inlet 33 through a duct 10 between pillar 1 and sleeve 5 into the cylinder 3 and through a similar duct into the cylinder 4. Upward movement of the sleeve 13 is limited by contact of a shoulder on the member 15 with a shoulder 11 on the sleeve 5. Downward movement of the sleeve 13 is limited by contact of the end face 23 of the member 15 and the end face 22 of the sleeve 16 with surfaces 25, 24 on the lower part of the pillar 1.

Filed: 1939-03-21
Abstract: 526,680. Valve relays. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., and EARP, C. W. March 21, 1939, No. 8951. [Class 40 (v)] Telegraph signals are passed to a recorder through high impedance valves. The signals received over transformer T1 are passed to the flip-flop valve pair V1, V2 which are biased so that the grid G1 of V1 is negative and that of V2 positive so valve V2 passes current. When a signal is received the grid G2 becomes negative so that a reduced anode current flows in V2 and the grid G1 becomes positive. The output of V2 is amplified by valves V3, V4 which are adjusted so that when no signal flows V3 is cut-off and V4 passes current whilst when a signal is received V3 passes current and V4 is cut off. Valves V3 and V4 control pentode valves V5, V6 which are arranged so that V5 is cut off when a signal is received and V6 is cut off when there is no signal. Valves V5 and V6 feed the recording apparatus. The apparatus is said to function at very high speeds and a cathode ray recorder could be used.
