Patent GB-804234-A (GB)
Abstract: 804,234. Calculating-apparatus. OLIVETTI & C., S.p.A. ING. C. March 22, 1957, No. 9408/57. Class 106 (1). A calculating machine having a single-bank keyboard, a decimal pin carriage and differential actuators controlled thereby, is adapted for use with systems having at least one non-decimal denomination by the provision of a special actuator carrying a lever, one end of which, during operation of the machine, engages a set pin of the pin-carriage while the other end engages a guide member by which the lever is progressively and angularly moved relatively to the actuator as the latter is advanced. Thus, in the case of a duo-decimal denomination, during the entry of a digit 1-9, the actuator can move only five sixths of the distance through which it would normally move. As shown, a pence actuator 11 co-operates with intermeshing twelve-toothed totalizer pinions 12 and pivotally supports at 13 a lever 14 one end of which is arrested by a set pin 6 for the digits 0-8 or by a stop 8 for the digit 9. The other end bears on a surface 17 of a lever 18 which, during the entry of a digit 0-9, remains substantially in the position shown. The lever 18, however, is connected to a link 20 which is urged to the left normally to maintain an arm 22 of the lever 18 in contact with its actuator 11, and can move to either of the two positions shown in dotted lines under the control of " 10 " and " 11 " keys. With the lever 18 in those positions, the lever 14 is so controlled as to allow the actuator to move by one or two additional steps when the lever 14 is arrested by the stop 8. The link 20 has a shoulder 25 which normally engages the lower end of a slide 30 to hold the lever 18 in the position shown, but depression of the " 10 " key 40 or a similar " 11 " key 41 allows the slide 30 to move laterally by one or two steps so that its end is engaged by one or the other of two offset staggered surfaces 27, 28, thus permitting the link 20 to move the lever 18 to its " 10 " or "11 " position. The slide 30 is latched in its moved position until the pin-carriage is restored at the end of a single cycle or of a series of repeat cycles.

Patent GB-2091153-A (GB)
Title: Friction welding of workpieces of differing metals
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 1982-01-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a machine for the friction welding workpieces of greatly differing thermal stability, such as e.g. steel and aluminium. On account of strength requirements, such metals could hitherto be welded only with the formation of an intermediate layer. The problem of welding without an intermediate layer while achieving a satisfactory strength is solved according to the invention by clamping the metal workpiece of higher thermal stability on the rotating carrier of the welding machine and face turning the end of the said workpiece in this position immediately before the welding procedure. Friction welding is then carried out as normal, but without the formation of an intermediate layer. The welding machine used has, in addition to the normal side-turning tool for the weld seams, also a face-turning tool for the workpiece end surface. This method can be used for all friction weldable materials.

Title: Segmented helical scan tape format and scanning apparatus
IPC: H04N5/7826
Filed: 1982-02-01
Abstract: The invention resides in one aspect in a tape format in which separate record tracks are disposed in a plurality of longitudinal segments (U, V, W) on the tape and each track includes a plurality of discrete portions e.g. U1, U2 each of which in combination with at least one other such discrete track portion e.g. V1, W1 from another longitudinal tape segment, relates to an individual vertical segment of a television raster. The several such combinations of track portions respectively relate to different vertical raster segments which together constitute the complete raster. The invention also provides record and/or replay apparatus adapted to this new tape format. The tape format facilitates the replay of recognisable pictures at other than recorded speeds, with reduced limitation on the data rates which can be accommodated. <IMAGE>

Title: Byte addressable memory for variable length instructions and data
Inventor: SCHWARTZ MARTIN J
IPC: G06F9/34
Filed: 1982-09-30
Abstract: A random access memory 126 has the capability to access one of more bytes in one or more memory word locations of a multi-byte memory array 106 within one memory cycle. Variable length instruction and data words composed of multiple bytes are stored in a block of addressable locations in a memory so that individual bytes of each word are aligned in columns 150, 152, 154. Each column of bytes is addressable independently of the other byte columns via adders 110, 112, 114, 116 and the output of a word boundary decoder circuit 124 is fed into a second input of the adders for address incrementing within one memory cycle. A column enable decoder circuit 108 generates a separate read or write enable line to each column of bytes. Both decoders 124 and 108 are controlled by a least significant bit portion of the memory address and reference word byte size codes. A bi-directional multiplexer 104 rearranges the order of the bytes so they appear in the proper order at the memory data bus 102. <IMAGE>

Title: Hydraulic damper with temperature- compensated throttle
Inventor: SCHMIDT RUDOLF
IPC: F16F9/52
Filed: 1983-09-05
Abstract: A hydraulic damper with a damping piston 22 secured on a hollow piston rod 10 has inside the piston rod a throttle member comprising respectively a throttle passage and an axially displaceable control element 5' varying the cross-section of the throttle passage, the control element 5' being acted upon through a control piston 5 by a temperature responsive varying volume of fluid present in a chamber 3. According to the invention the control element, the control piston and the chamber form a self contained unit 1. This piston rod insert 1 operates independently of piston rod length and diameter and of the volume of working fluid trapped in the piston rod. Such a unit is a component which is independent of the design details of the respective types of damper, and by use of which in addition a reduction in weight is further possible. <IMAGE>
