The panel comprises a housing containing an array of apertured strip cathodes 111, 112, 113 each fourth electrode being interconnected to form 3 groups, wire control anodes 11 to 17 above the cathodes and parallel wire scanning anodes 11<SP>1</SP> to 17<SP>1</SP> below the cathodes. The panel includes a reset cathode 102 and keep alive anode and cathode 18, 101. As shown in Fig. 3, the control and scanning anodes are maintained at a potential V B  via resistors 21 to 27 and 31 to 37, respectively. Input data is applied to terminals 40A ... 40n of a character generator 40 including decoding, encoding and storage means. The output of the generator provides sequential parallel signals to the control anodes via NPN anode driving transistors 41 ... 47, diodes 51 ... 57 and Zener diodes 61 ... 67. As each column of signals is applied to the transistors a blanking control circuit including amplifiers 84, 88 operates transistor 80 to delay the application of the signals to anodes 11 ... 17 to allow selected display cells to become initially ionized and the ionization of previously energized display cells to fall sufficiently to prevent undesired energization. The three groups of cathodes are controlled by cathode drivers 151 ... 153 connected to flip-flops 180, 190. In the event of a circuit failure overheating is prevented by a capacitative coupling circuit including capacitors 170, 170, resistors 160, 163 and diodes 174, 175.

Filed: 1920-08-21
Abstract: 150,686. Aktiebolaget Svenska Kullagerfabriken. Aug. 28, 1919, [Convention date]. Rollers, treating.-In a machine for grinding rollers having arc-shaped generatrices, the roller cage is rotated about an axis inclined to the axis of the grinding-disk, whereby the surfaces of the rollers are oscillated across the grinding surface and even wear of this surface is secured. The roller cage comprises two parts, a retaining and driving ring 2 carried by a rotating spindle b, and an outer gurding-ring 6 carried by a rotating sleeve 7 journaled in ball bearings on a stationary sleeve 5. The rollers 1 rest and roll on a race 4, 4' carried by the sleeve 5 and are retained in position and driven by fingers 8 on the ring 2, the disposition of the parts being such that transverse middle planes of the rollers all intersect at a common point u on the axis oi the cage. The spindle 3 is movable axially, against a spring 9, by means of a lever 10 to move the ring 2 for insertion and removal of the rollers, and the spindle and the sleeve 7 are driven at the same speed and in the same direction through gearing 16 - - 19 by a belt-driven shaft 13. The cage is adjustable on vertical guides 11. The grinding-ring or disk 20 is carried by a vertical shaft 21 journaled in a slide. 22 movable up and down by a lever 23 and having also automatic feeding-means. The working surface 25 of the grinding-ring and the outer surfaces of the rings 2, 6 are spherical. In operation, the inclination of the axis of the cage causes the rollers to perform an oscillation about the point a relatively to the grinding-surface, so that this is evenly worn and the rollers ground to uniform curvature. To grind rollers with concave surfaces, the grinding-disk is disposed with its working surface between the rollers and the centre of oscillation a. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also oscillation without revolution of the rollers about an axis passing through the centre of oscillation. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
