Abstract: 1,031,603. Vehicle loading systems. J. BRIDGE. Oct. 9, 1963 [Oct. 24, 1962], No. 39771/63. Heading B8E. [Also in Division E2] To enable a load container 21 to be transferred between a carrier vehicle 20 and a fixed support 22, a trolley 35 movable in a guideway extending lengthwise of the vehicle is engageable with the container 21 so that, when the vehicle, support and container are in the relative positions shown, movement of the vehicle away from the support causes relative movement of the trolley 35 and its guideway and so allows the container 21 to be run off the vehicle. The unloading procedure (Figs. 8a to 8f, not shown) consists in first raising the rear end of the vehicle-by use of jacks 26 acting between the chassis and the rear axle 27 or by groundengaging jacks 64 (Fig. 12, not shown)-so that the rear end of the container can be run over the support 22 by reversing the vehicle. The jacks are then lowered to engage depressions 24 on the underside of the container with complementary protrusions 23 on the support. When only the front end of the container is supported on the rear end of the vehicle, the latter is again raised by the jacks to enable supporting props (which may be fold-down struts hinged to the underside of the container) to take the load of the container front end and so allow the vehicle to be once again lowered and driven away. Loading (Figs. 8 g  to 8k, not shown) is by the reverse procedure. The means for interengaging the trolley 35 and the container are of the same form as the protrusion-and-depression 23, 24 described above. So also is the means 40, 43 for securing the loaded container to the vehicle, but in this case the protrusion portion is carried by a member 43 connected to the linkwork 45. This is operated automatically on relative movement of the container and vehicle to or from the position shown and may be held in the locked condition shown, by a latch 47. A vehicle-and-trailer combination, in which both the vehicle and the trailer (Fig. 14, not shown) are equipped as described above, may be provided.

Abstract: 1444923 Command signal receiver INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP 24 Aug 1973 [1 Sept 1972] 40251/73 Addition to 1429681 Heading G4H [Also in Division H3] The invention relates to on/off mains switching of apparatus controlled by digital signals and is for use in the system of Specification 1,429,681. As shown, a TV receiver 51 is connected to a mains supply by contacts 50 of a master switch and by the contacts 49 of a relay 48 which receives remote control commands as in the above mentioned Specification. The following conditions are to be satisfied: (1) The master switch controls on/off switching independently of relay 48; and (2) With contacts 50 closed, the TV remains off on restoration of the mains supply after a failure. With contacts 50 open, and irrespective of the position of contacts 49, rectified mains current via R6, C7, C8 causes a transistor T8 to conduct, thereby applying battery voltage U2 to a resistor R5, whereupon a transistor T7 is rendered non-conducting. If, in addition, relay 48 and transistor T6 are not supplied with current, then C6 charges to the voltage of the junction of resistors R3, R4 derived from a potential U1. If contacts 50 are now closed, the voltage available to C8 is reduced, T8 is switched off and T7 conducts. T7 discharges C6 via D3 to the input of flip-flop 47, causing relay 48 to respond : operation of the relay closes contacts 49 to apply mains voltage to the TV. On further actuation of the master switch, contacts 50 open but contacts 49 remain closed: the TV is switched off, but relay 48 remains energized since U1, U2 are unaffected. T8 starts to conduct again, connecting U2 to R5 and switching off T7. When contacts 50 close again, contacts 49 being already closed, the TV immediately receives the mains voltage (there is no switching pulse for 47 since C6 has not had time to charge via R3, which is of very high value). If a mains failure removes U1, U2, then flip-flop 47 loses its 1-level output, which remains at 0 upon return of the supply voltage, relay 48 remaining de-energized (the charge on C6 is conducted away via T7).

Abstract: 1,218,293. Television picture shift control. FERRANTI Ltd. 20 Aug., 1969 [22 Aug., 1968], No. 40301/68. Heading H4F. Horizontal or vertical picture shift on a television display tube 21 as compared with the image position on the camera 20 is achieved by varying the time interval #T between the leading edges of the camera drive pulses SD and of the display synchronizing pulses S, selecting one of the two pulse trains and deriving a control signal operative only between the leading edges of each pulse in the selected train and of the ensuing pulse in the other train, and using this control signal to operate a gate 19 allowing video signals to pass from the camera 20 to the display 21 only in the absence of the control signal. Vertical shift may be achieved by using a frame-shift arrangement, but the embodiment shown employs line-shift to obtain a horizontal picture shift. The time interval #T between the pulses S and SD is achieved by means of three monostable devices 11, 12, 14, two of which, 11, 12, are voltage controlled to produce variable delays #T] , #T 2  which together total to #T. A further monostable device 13 provides blanking pulses of duration A 1  to the camera 20. The control voltage for the devices 11, 12 is also applied to a comparator 18 where it is compared with a reference voltage. Fig. 3 illustrates the case when the control voltage is less than the reference voltage, in which circumstances #T is arranged to be less than the line interval and the comparator 18 provides a "0" signal to NOR gate 16 and a "1" signal to NOR gate 17. The output of gate 16 thus depends upon the state of a bi-stable circuit 15, which is set and reset respectively by the leading edges of successive pulses SD and S. The video gate 19 is consequently closed during the corresponding time interval, with the result that the right-hand part of the scan of camera 20 coincides with the left-hand part of the scan of display 21; i.e. the picture is shifted to the left. Picture shift to the right is similarly achieved by making the control voltage greater than the reference voltage, resulting in a delay #T greater than the line interval up to a maximum of twice the line interval, and reversing the "0" and "1" signals from the comparator 18 to the gates 16 and 17. When the control voltage approximately equals the reference voltage no shift is obtained. The invention may be used with interlaced or radial scan. As shown it is used in a closed-circuit system, but may be adapted for broadcasting, the display 21 then being a monitor.
