Title: Improvements in and relating to machines for stacking folded or unfolded paper sheets
IPC: B65H29/40
Filed: 1958-10-21
Abstract: 852,005. Sheet-delivery apparatus. MASCHINENFABRIK WINKLER, FALLERT & CO. A. G. Oct. 21, 1958 [Nov. 19, 1957], No. 33593/58. Class 100(1) A machine for stacking paper sheets comprises conveyer discs 4 between which on provided discharge means substantially tangentially to the circle described by rotating blades 3 on the discs 4, and a rotatable assembly of spindle-mounted stacking blades 6, each having an attached end stop 7, the control of the stacking blades being effected by at least one rotating cam-wheel 8 and at least one adjustable guide with a double curved guide surface, rotation of the stacking blade spindles being controlled by roller-levers which ride against the cam-wheel and guide surfaces. The sheets are delivered from conveyer 1 to the blades 3 of the discs 4 and are stripped therefrom by strippers 5 and deposited on the blades 6. The blades 6 are mounted on spindles 12 which rotate with a shaft 26 of a wheel 24 driven by chain 25 from the main drive 19-22 of the discs 4. The spindles 12 are connected to levers 11 provided with cam followers 13 which contact the cam-wheel 8 revolving at a slower speed than the discs 4. Also mounted on the levers 11 are rollers 10 which contact a cam 9, adjustable by a handle 17. Adjustment of the cam 9 alters the degree to which the blades 6 tilt before depositing the collected stack on receiver 30 and this controls the height of the stack deposited. To return the blades 6 to collecting position a fixed cam 15 is provided which co-operates with the rollers 13. In operation the wheel 24 revolves more slowly than the discs 4 and faster than the cam-wheel 8. The cam-wheel 8 serves to position the blade 6 for sheet receiving. After release of the rollers 13 by the wheel 8 movement of the blade 6 during stacking is controlled by the cam 9. After depositing the stack on the conveyer 30 the cam 9 causes the blade 6 to accelerate out of sheet receiving position, and at the same time the wheel 8 releases the next blade 6 into sheet receiving position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Methods and Apparatus for Pattern Recognition
Inventor: CUTLER CASSIUS CHAPIN
IPC: G06V10/88
Filed: 1967-07-26
Abstract: 1,191,004. Pattern recognition. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. 26 July, 1967 [29 July, 1966], No. 34307/67. Heading G4R. [Also in Divisions G1 and G2] A pattern is recognized using an array of mechanically-excitable optical fibres, a mask, an optical filter and photo-detector means. In Fig. 1, a speech (word) voltage waveform to be recognized is applied from source 19 to a quartz piezoelectric transducer 12 to set vibrating optical fibres 13 of various resonance frequencies. Coherent light from a source 11 passes down the fibres 13, through a mask 14 which blocks the light from stationary fibres 13, and lens 26 to a Fourier-transform holographic filter 16 which in response produces via a lens 27 a spot of light on a selected one of a matrix array of photo-detectors 17 to identify the word. The hologram 16 is produced by making a photograph of the light from the mask 14 when each of the possible words is applied to the transducer 12, arranging the photographs in a matrix array corresponding to the array of photodetectors 17 and forming a hologram photorecording of the Fourier transform of the array of photographs. In a modification, the photodetectors 17 are arranged in a circle around the optical axis OA, with lens 26 absent, the hologram 16 being produced by exposing a film to the light from the mask 14 while each of the possible words is applied to the transducer 12 in turn, the reference light used in thus forming the superimposed holograms coming from a different one of a plurality of mirrors in each case, the mirrors being arranged in a circle around the optical axis OA. The light is directed from the light source 11 to the selected mirror by a rotatable beam-splitter on the optical axis OA between the source 11 and transducer 12. In production of the hologram filter 16 in this case, a Fourier-transforming lens may be interposed between mask 14 and film, such lenses then being used also in the recognition apparatus. A vidicon may replace the array of photodetectors 17.
