Title: Improved means for and method of effecting changes in plating on knitting machines
IPC: D04B1/02
Filed: 1929-12-31
Abstract: 342,095. Knitting ; circular knitting- machines. HEMPHILL CO., Central Falls, Rhode Island, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Lawson, R. H., Pawtucket, and Cloutier, A. N. ; Lonsdale, both in Rhode Island, U.S.A.) Dec. 31. 1929, No. 39858. Convention date, April 16. [Class 74 (ii).] To make lines, bands, blocks, dots, or other patterns in reverse plating of any required width, the sinkers, webholders or like instrumentalities are caused to bind the normally placed yarns on their forward edges 29. Thus reverse plating can be restricted to needles the sinkers &c. corresponding to which are moved transversely a distance in excess of that required for normal plating. Two yarns are fed in at differing tensions, the rear yarn NT of normal plating being fed without tension or with markedly less tension than the face yarn T. Each radial groove of the sinker cam bed contains a single sinker 5 or the like mounted above an independently sliding jack 6. Normal plating occurs so long as the butts 8 of the jacks ride in an outer groove 7 but when they are pushed inwards by suitable pattern mechanism so as to be taken in the groove 9 the shoulders 24 engage the ends 25 of the sinkers and push them inwards. As the needles descend, the yarns are reversed on the concave sloping shoulders of the selected needles. Fig. 11 shows a single needle stripe being made. The reversal is done on the side away from the knitting-point. Specifications 20101/09, 256,612, 279,813, 286,298 and 288,256, [all in Class 74 (ii), Knitting &c.], are referred to.

In a non-linear encoder, e.g. for amplitude compression in a p.c.m. system or for a digital voltmeter with decibel readings, in which the signal sample is compared with reference signals in a series of comparators, the reference signals are supplied via variable attenuators or amplifiers which are controlled in accordance with the amplitude of the incoming signals. As shown in Fig. 1, in a three-digit binary coder the input signal is supplied via terminal 11 to a comparator 16 which receives a reference voltage from a source 10 via a fixed attenuator 12 and produces a signal d1 only if the amplitude of the input signal exceeds that of the reference signal. The output of the comparator 16 is supplied via delay circuits 18, 19 to control a bi-stable circuit 101 to provide a digital output-signal e1 in accordance with the presence or absence of signal d1. The input signal is also supplied via a delay circuit 21 to a comparator 26 which receives a reference signal through a variable attenuator 22 and fixed attenuator 23, the variable attenuator 22 being controlled to attenuate or provide no attenuation by a bi-stable device 37 in accordance with the presence or absence of a signal from the delay circuit 18. According to whether the input signal is greater or less than the reference signal at the comparator 26 and output d2 controls a bi-stable circuit 102 via delay 28 to provide the second digit 1 or 0 of the output signal (e2). The output of delay circuit 21 is supplied via a delay 31 to a third comparator 36 which receives a reference signal supplied from the source 10 via variable attenuators 32, 33 and fixed attenuator 34 the attenuators 32, 33 each providing a predetermined attenuation or no attenuation according to the presence or absence of output signals from the comparators 16 and 26, respectively.

Abstract: 970,380. Indicating-apparatus; weighing apparatus. BURNDEPT Ltd. Dec. 5, 1960 [Dec. 4, 1959], No. 41337/59. Headings G1J and G1W. [Also in Division H1] A measuring-instrument has an appliance which responds when a pointer 3 reaches a selected position on a scale 2 and comprises a variable capacitor in an electric circuit part 8 of the capacitor being fixed in the selected position, another part moving with the pointer, and the electric circuit including an oscillator adjusted to a critical capacitance, of which the variable capacitor forms a part and thereby governs the oscillation on non-oscillation of the oscillator. Thus, when the parts of the capacitor come into register it changes a current or voltage in the circuit to actuate a visual or audible signal or a relay, which, in the weighing machine shown, Fig. 1, controls a valve or shutter 6 to close the nozzle 4 of a filling hopper when a standard weight has been formed into a package 5. A metal part of the pointer 3 may form one electrode of the variable capacitor and a stationary plate the other. A solid di-electric 13 Fig. 3 may form one part of the variable capacitor and its electrodes the other. A multi-plate capacitor may be used, the pointer carrying several spaced fingers which become interleaved with similarly spaced stationary fingers. To vary the weight at which the shutter 6 is operated several electrodes 8 may be spaced along the scale 2 and a switch used to bring a selected one into circuit. Alternatively the electrode 8 may slide frictiontight along an arcuate guide 9. Two stationary or moving parts may be spaced along the path of relative movement and be included in separate circuits, the first reducing the rate of flow through the nozzle 4 and the second closing the nozzle. Alternatively two circuits of differing sensitivities may be controlled by one variable capacitor, the first operating when overlapping of the plates begins and the other when the standard weight is reached.
