Abstract: 634,460. Bone setting appliances. EIJKMAN, A. J. Oct. 18, 1947, No. 27941. [Class 81(ii)] A device for determining the correct direction for drilling the neck of the femur in a case of fracture comprises a guiding tube and a positioning rod at right angles to each other, the latter being adjustable in the common plane passing through the former. In one form the guide tube 3 is secured perpendicularly to a hollow guide member 1 holding one limb 13 of a square 12, while the other limb 15 carries an adjustable slide 16 to which is attached a chuck 20 holding a positioning rod 18. Using a locating pin the guide tube 3 is placed against, or screwed slightly, into the bone at the point of penetration, and the square 12 and slide 16 are set up so that the rod 18 bears against a point directly over the centre of the head of the femur, as determined radiographically. The device is levelled, using a spirit level 21, and the wire 10 is drilled in a distance determined by the setting of the slide 16 on the arm 15. The bone around the point of penetration is recessed by a milling cutter, passed over the guide wire 10, and finally a ribbed pin of known type is driven in over the wire. In cases where the neck of the femur does not lie horizontally, an attachment, see Fig. 4 (not shown) is fitted over the arm 15 and provides a spirit level the inclination of which to the arm 15 may be set to any desired angle. In a modified form of the apparatus the limbs of the square 12 are replaced by two individual arms, the upper one of which is longitudinally adjustable across the top of the other and at one end has a guide in which the rod 18 is longitudinally adjustable. The whole device may be supported by a ball 8 held in a clamp mounted on the operating table. Specification 482,268 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,096,023. Printing machines. R. W. CRABTREE & SONS Ltd. July 14, 1964 [July 15, 1963], No. 28025/63. Heading B6C. In a rotary printing machine wherein the output gear 70, Fig. 6, of the drive mechanism is connected on the drive side of the machine to the plate cylinder P, Fig. 1, by mechanism which transmits the drive to the cylinder and can be actuated to effect circumferential adjustment of the cylinder P relative to the gear 70, the adjustment mechanism is operated by a shaft 57 extending across the machine from the drive side to the other or opeerating side. Axial adjustment can also be effected through mechanism situated on the operating side. Axial adjustment; cylinder bearings.-A spigot 9 on the end of the plate cylinder P at the operating side is mounted in bearings 1 movable axially therewith, the bearings 1 being clamped by filling pieces 7 and a ring 6 against a shoulder 5 in a tubular member 4 slidable in the main frame 3. A key 11 engages a key-way 12 in the ring 6 to prevent rotary movement of the parts 4, 6. Secured by bolts 26 to the end of the spigot 9 is a member 21, 22, 23, the part 22 of which is accommodated in a thrust bearing 19 mounted in an annular member 16 so as to be axially movable with the member 16. The member 16 is threaded externally to engage a screwed bush 14 on a fixed plate 13, and has a toothed part 17 meshing with a gear 27 on a shaft 28 provided with an operating knob 31. Rotation of the knob 31 causes axial movement of the parts 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 9, 4 and thus effects axial movement of the cylinder P. Circumferential adjustment of the cylinder P relative to its driving gear 70, Fig. 6, is effected by endwise movement of a shaft 53, Fig. 1, which extends through the parts 21, 22, 23, 9, and the cylinder P, and at its end adjacent to the drive side of the machine is attached to an arm 65, Fig. 7, rotatable thereon but movable axially therewith. At its ends the arm 65 can slide on pins 66 attached to the cylinder hub and carries cranks 75 attached to crank shafts 74 mounted in bearings 73 on the cylinder hub 68. The outer ends of the shafts 74 carry cranks 76 the ends of which are housed within a universal-joint bearing 79 rigidly secured to the rim 71 of the gear 70 which is rotatably-mounted on the hub 68. Thus endwise movement of the shaft 53 and arm 65 effects circumferential movement of the gear 70 relative to the hub 68 and therefore to the cylinder P. To move the shaft 53 endwise, it is fixed to an externallythreaded sleeve 50, Fig. 1, held against rotary movement by a key 51 and engaged by a threaded bush 41 which can be rotated by a hand-knob 58 through a shaft 56 and gearing 55, 59. The bush 41 is rotatably mounted on a -support plate 45 which moves axially with the cylinder P during axial adjustment. Indicating means.-The shafts 28, 56, Fig. 1, of the hand-knobs 31, 58 carry worms 35, 64a engaging worm-wheels on shafts extending perpendicular to the shafts 28, 56 and carrying indicating dials at their outer ends.

Abstract: 1,098,258. Digital computers. CONTROL DATA CORPORATION. July 6, 1965 [July 8, 1964], No. 28540/65. Heading G4A. In a data processor adapted for time sharing between a number of different programmes stored in separate memory modules 40, Fig. 4, the digital information being processed is successively stored in a delay device 70 which re-enters the information on each programme successively during each memory cycle. The instruction information, while within the delay device is translated to direct the next selected processing operation before the digital information is re-entered into the data processing device for further processing. The delay device 70 comprises parallel registers A P Q K (18, 12, 12 and 9 bits respectively) each having 12 delay stages of flipflops for each bit and between which the digital information passes in parallel each 75 nanosecs as determined by four sets of clock pulses IV, III, II, I (Fig. 5, not shown) for conditioning the stages in turn and giving a total delay time of 12 x 75 = 900 nanosecs for re-entry into the data processing device 48. Data relating to each programme group is sequentially transferred into the first stage of the delay device 70 on each clock pulse IV at 100 nanosecond intervals and is returned to the data processing device 48 for processing over a period of 100 nanoseconds to complete a memory cycle of 1000 nanoseconds. The delay device 70 therefor contains digital data relating to 9 separate programmes while the processing device 48 operates on the 10th programme. As the information passes successive stages 72-74 (illustrated logically in time in Fig. 4) the instructions in the K register are translated in translate K unit 82 for directing the data processing device to perform the operation relevant to the particular programme group. The operand and instruction address in the P and Q registers are similarly passed at a later stage via lines 84, 96 (unless inhibited) to a G register 86 which addresses the appropriate memory module 40 via S 1 -S 10  registers, as determined by the storage sequence control 100 at AND gates 90. The information passes via READ line 44 to register 46 for re-entry in the data processing device at the same time as the re-entry of the other data for the relevant instructions. Input output equipment comprises 8 separate input channels with control lines 122 and associated registers R<SP>1</SP>-R<SP>10</SP> from which information is passed via the data processing device to a Z register 50 for storage at the memory location specified by each programme. Eight corresponding output channels with associated control lines 124 are also provided. The central memory is capable of storing 60 bit words which may be assembled from 12 bit words in the data processor by assembling registers 114, - 118. Similarly 60 bit words received from central memory may be broken down into 12 bit words by assembly registers 120.
