Title: Safety starting or warning device for a motor vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine
IPC: B60K28/06
Filed: 1972-11-17
Abstract: 1414512 Controlling vehicles SWFSPEZIALFABRIK FUER AUTOZUEHOER GUSTAV RAU GmbH 17 Nov 1972 [19 Nov 1971] 53132/72 Heading B7H [Also in Divisions F1 and G4] When the normal switches (for operating lights, indicators &c.) on a vehicle driven by an I.C. engine have been operated in a prescribed sequence, a changeover switch closes an electrical circuit necessary for starting the engine or opens the circuit of a warning device which would otherwise come into operation when an engine starting switch is subsequently actuated. This serves to test a driver who may be intoxicated or otherwise unfit to drive, and to prevent him from starting the engine or to provide a warning signal if he fails to pass the test. Actuation of switch 17 switches on a timer 18 which closes its contact 18<SP>1</SP> for, say, 10 seconds. Switches connected to terminals 9<SP>1</SP>-16<SP>1</SP> (which comprise the existing switches used for operating the headlamps, parking lights, windscreen wipers, signal lights &c. or for indicating the application of the safety belts) are then actuated in a prescribed sequence, each switch turning on a stage 9-16 whereby a relay 8 is connected to the supply terminal 7 via the contact 181 and the stages 9-16 in series. Contact 8<SP>1</SP> of relay 8 then changes over to connect the starter switch (not shown but downstream of the arrow 1) to the supply 7 via the contact 30<SP>1</SP> of a timer 30. If the operation has not been completed within, say, 10 seconds, it is voided by the opening of the timer contacts 18<SP>1</SP>. After three attempts, a three-step counter 29 actuates the timer 30 to open the contact 30<SP>1</SP> to prevent starting for, say, 30 minutes. To allow the engine to be re-started upon subsequent stoppage without going through the test program again, a further timer 31 is preferably provided, the contact 31<SP>1</SP> closing for a period of 10 minutes after stopping of the engine to connect the starting switch 1 directly to the supply terminal 7. Each stage 9-16 may comprise a relay connected to the respective terminal 9<SP>1</SP>-16<SP>1</SP> through a diode and having a normally open contact, the contacts being connected in series between the supply terminal 7 and the relay 8, a further normally open contact on each relay completing a hold circuit in each case. Instead, each stage may comprise a thyristor, the thyristors being connected in series and the gate electrode of each thyristor being connected to the corresponding terminal 9<SP>1</SP>-16<SP>1</SP>. In a modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), failure to complete the program does not prevent starting of the engine but causes all four flashing indicators to be actuated.

Title: Control store unit addressing device
IPC: G06F9/26
Filed: 1974-12-16
Abstract: 1488271 Correcting read only memories COMPAGNIE INTERNATIONALE POUR L'INFORMATIQUE 16 Dec 1974 [27 Dec 1973] 54264/74 Heading G4A A microprogram controlled processor ineludes a microprogram control store MK having read only MKM and read/write MKV stores, a common address register ZMK, and a common read out register RK, and is arranged so that replacement microprograms, may be written into and executed from the read/write store in response to detection of a programming error from the read only store. The stores are divided into addressable blocks and microinstructions are addressed by unit #MA in response to a block address KAK, and data indicative of any address modification required, KMA and KAR, contained in the current instruction in read out register RK, and data from registers Z, A, and B in logic unit LU which executes the programs. If an error is detected by unit EP during the execution of a microprogram from the read only store MKM, logic unit LU loads a status register REM with the block address RMK in the read only store of the failed program, control data PMK, and the block address RMV of a replacement block in the read/write store. A replacement program is then loaded in the read/write store from a central store, via line MC, or data line T1 or manual console CP inputs via data register S and gate GM which is enabled by the contents of register Z. Subsequently comparator COMP enabled by the control data PMK compares the block address of the failed read only program RMK with the block part of the addresses issued from addressing unit #MA, equality causing the replacement block address RMV to be transferred to the address register ZMK in place of the original block address. If the addressing is such that blocks in the read only and read/write stores may carry the same address, an additional tag bit is used to distinguish the two stores, a decoder D responding to the tag bit from the addressing unit to block the exchange of addresses when the tag bit from addressing unit #MA already refers to the read/write store. Alternatively the tag bit is merely added to the block addresses and the system operates as before but using the extended addresses. When only one replacement block is provided in the read/write store it is assigned a block address of zero, the output of the comparator simply serving to prevent the transfer of any block address to address register ZMK whereby the replacement block is addressed.

Filed: 1969-11-05
Abstract: 1292302 Measuring magnetic fields SONY CORP 5 Nov 1969 [5 Nov 1968] 54267/69 Heading G1N [Also in Division H1] A magnetic field detector comprises a high resistivity, preferably intrinsic, semi-conductor body with two contact regions of one conductivity type, one for injecting and the other for collecting carriers and a third contact region of opposite type or an ohmic contact, the arrangement being such that an input applied between the injecting and third contacts produces a magnetically variable output at the other contact. The collector contact region and third contact are both spaced more than a carrier diffusion length from the injector contact region, and the spacing of the collector region from the injector is less than twice that of the third contact from the injector. Typically the body is of intrinsic germanium which has been etched in CP4. Two regions 4, 5 Fig. 1, are formed by alloying dots of indium-tin to one edge and an N region 7 by alloying antimonytin to the opposite edge. Alternatively all three regions are formed in one main face of the wafer. After etching in hydrogen peroxide electrodes are soldered on. The effect on performance of varying the dimensions of the wafer and spacing of the electrodes 4 is discussed. In operation a plasma generated between electrodes 4 and 7 is diverted towards output regions 5 by a field H+ and away from it by a field H-. If the conductivity types of the regions are interchanged a bias E of opposite polarity is required.
