Title: Glass cutting or scoring apparatus
Inventor: HANNEKEN HENRY PETER
IPC: C03B33/04
Filed: 1962-08-16
Abstract: <PICT:0962935/C1/1> <PICT:0962935/C1/2> <PICT:0962935/C1/3> An apparatus for cutting or scoring a line of predetermined length from a leading edge of a glass sheet moving in a path comprises an arm pivoted on a support about an axis transverse to the path of relative movements, a scoring tool on the arm spaced from the pivoted axis thereof, and at least one wheel rotatably mounted on the arm and adjacent to but longitudinally spaced from the cutting tool, the wheel having a sufficient external radius that when it rides on a major surface of the glass sheet, the scoring tool is maintained in spaced relation to the major surface.  A bridge 13 spans a conveyer belt 18 the top run of which is supported by a plate 19.  Each of two cutter assemblies 11 and 12 includes a U-shaped slide 20 with a cap plate 21 and locking screw 65 mounted on the bridge 13.  Each slide 20 has an integral downwardly extending flange 23, an integral offset flange 24 extending from one side and a flange 25 extending from the opposite side.  Each flange 23 pivotally supports an arm 26 on which is mounted a rotatable turret cutter holder 28, with cutter wheels 29, lockable by an indexing pin 31.  The head 43 of a spring plunger 42 mounted through each flange 24 bears upon a flange 44 on each arm 26 vertically above its cutter holder 28. A slidable support 32 which carries rubber wheels 37 is mounted on each arm 26 along which it can be locked at any point by screw 33. A screw 46 passes through each flange 25 to abut a flange 48 on each arm 26 and is set to limit the downward movement of the side of the arm 26 carrying the cutter wheel 29 in the scoring position so spacing the wheel 29 from the belt 18 and limiting the depth of scoring.  Contact of the turret holders 28 with the glass sheet G is prevented by a coaxially mounted rider wheel 38.  In use, for producing freeing cuts for a pattern score line FC2 (Fig. 6), the glass sheet G moves from right to left as viewed in Fig. 2 and the operative cutter wheel 29 of the cutter assembly 11 commences scoring a line FC1 from the leading edge of the sheet G continuing until the rubber wheels 37 ride up the edge of the sheet G and raise the cutter from the glass surface so terminating the score line.  As the rubber wheels 37 of the cutter assembly 12 reach the trailing edge of the glass sheet G and drop over the edge they lower the cutter wheel of the assembly 12 into scoring contact with the sheet G to produce the score line FC2.  In another embodiment only one cutter assembly is used and comprises a pair of cutting tools, both on the same side of the pivot point of the arm 26, adjacent and longitudinally spaced on opposite sides of the wheels 37.  The cutting wheels may be replaced by diamond cutters.

Title: Telephone system with data traffic
IPC: H04Q3/62
Filed: 1972-07-06
Abstract: 1351717 Automatic exchange systems INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP 6 July 1972 [9 July 1971] 31664/72 Heading H4K In a private branch exchange catering for telephone subscribers and for data subscribers who may set up calls of differing format, e.g. in speed, modulation or error checking method, every call is initially set up to a telephone junctor and then, if necessary, this is replaced by a data junctor and a so-called data link circuit that provides the necessary interface for the data format involved. A junctor (see Fig. 5) provides line power feed supply SP for both ends of a connection, an a.c. speech path, a unit DU for connecting it to data links DUe, and, optionally, supplies for dial tone WT, and ringing RU as well as dialled digit reception WA and register connecting RA facilities. In Fig. 2 a calling PBX subscriber Tln1 is normally connected to a telephone junctor IVS via switching network NStAnl but in response to digits indicating a data call this connection is replaced by one to data junctor DVS which returns a second dial tone. A register Reg armed with the identity of the wanted party and knowing the caller's identity selects an appropriate pair of data links such as to allow compatible communications between the two parties. In the case of a call to a computer DVA only one link DUe1 or DUe2 is required, these links being operable at different speeds, e.g. 200 and 1200 baud respectively. For an external call a pair, e.g. DUe5, DUe6, are chosen as also is an outgoing relay at AVS of the main network. The link pair may be permanently associated (Fig. 1, not shown), selectively connectible by a switching network KF2 as shown, or interconnectible by a communications computer (Fig. 3, not shown). The latter may incorporate computer DVA and may be remotely located in which case switching network KF1, which gives access to the links, is also remotely located thereby restricting the conductor runs to simply the data message pairs and the control data bus extending from the register via a common control circuit to all the individual control circuits of the switching networks and the computer. Once the connection has been set up and checked by a speech message, the subscribers switch from their telephone sets to their data sets DEE1. Data may be sent using frequency modulation.

Abstract: 749,877. Television &c. TECHNICOLOR MOTION PICTURE CORPORATION. Nov. 16, 1953 [Dec. 9, 1952], No. 31710/53. Drawings to Specification. Class 40 (3). In an arrangement for producing electric signals (e.g. television signals) corresponding to colour photographic records (e.g. colour kinematographic film) a special film comprising superimposed individual colour aspect records the density range of each of which is less than that adequate for direct optical projection and substantially equal to the range of linear response of each colour aspect channel is prepared from an original conventional colour film and scanned in known manner by.means of a " flying-spot " scanner and co-operating photoelectric cells to produce the required signals. By this means distortions produced by lowdensity portions of the film, mainly due to the non-linearity of the photo-electric cells, and produced by the high density portions mainly due to a decrease in the signal to noise ratio are avoided. A suitable density range is stated to be from 0.3 to 2.2 and conventional methods of producing such films are described. Specifications 500,719 and 549,141, [both in Group XX], are referred to.

Filed: 1974-07-18
Abstract: 1472303 Data storage system SIEMENS AG 18 July 1974 [21 Sept 1973] 31782/74 Heading G4A The working store of a data processor is formed by a number of store modules AM each of which includes a number of independently readable zones B0-B3 each of which has its own data output register D0-D3, there being a single, input register DS common to the zones in each module. Data is stored in a module with consecutive addresses lying in consecutive zones and, when an access is made, the accessed word and the word at the succeeding address are read into the respective output registers of the respective zones. The arrangement reduces average access time by reducing the number of store accesses made since words are often accessed in sequence and, in such a situation a store access is not required for every word as some words will have been read out into and be present in the zone output registers following a previous access. The arrangement may be used in place of the more costly hierarchical systems of the virtual memory type applied to the working (main) store of a processor which required a main store and an ultra high speed, and correspondingly expensive buffer store.
