Abstract: 1450406 Digital electronic time fuzes for projectiles GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 25 Sept 1973 [28 Sept 1972] 44919/73 Heading F3A [Also in Division G4] An electronic digital time fuze for a projectile whose time base may be preset before flight; and which time base may be subsequently changed during a predetermined interval during flight by a radar command link comprises inter alia: a firing circuit 82, Fig. 2A, connected to the output of a counter 14; a mechanical encoder 12 for presetting the counter; and an oscillator 66 for supplying the counter with pulses. A short time after firing a projectile fitted with the fuze, and during an interval T 1 #T 2  determined by a sealer 72, an AND gate 94 is enabled, whereby a random number, transmitted by a ground station and picked up by an antenna 38 and detector 42, is fed to a register 46 and uniquely characterizes the fuze. At a time T 3 , determined by the counter 14, an AND gate 138 is enabled, whereby a correction address is received by a register 52 from the ground station. Should this correction address be identical with the address contained in the register 46, a comparitor 62 will detect this identity and will provide an output signal at a time T 4 , to the counter, forcing the counter, irrespective of the count already therein, to an advanced count in accordance with the desired correction of the firing time. The counter continues to receive pulses from the oscillator and provides an output signal at a time T 5 <SP>1</SP>, which occurs at a fixed interval of time after T 4  but before a firing time T 5  initially set by the encoder 12. The encoder 12 comprises a dielectric tape 126, Figs. 4 and 6, which passes between, and is translatable by concurrent rotation of, outer and inner elements 110 and 106. The tape carries electrical conductors 128 which co-operate with parallel electrical conductors 108 on the inner member 106 to effect presetting of the pulse counter. Numerical indicia on the opposite side 130 of the tape to the conductors 108 can be observed through a frosted portion of the outer member 110 and indicate the setting of the pulse counter. An alternative encoder for presetting the counter, Figs. 7A to 11 (not shown), comprises a plurality of conductors (206) disposed on a dielectric substrate (202) and connected to logic circuitry (204). Various combinations of circuits are obtained by penciling across appropriate pairs of conductors to provide a connecting link of graphite. The power for the fuze is provided by a. battery or an electromagnetic generator.

Abstract: 1,091,868. Radar systems. CSF-COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE TELEGRAPHIE SANS FIL. Nov. 9, 1964 [Nov. 8, 1963], No. 45532/64. Heading H4D. In an M.T.I. (moving target indicating) pulsed radar the " blind velocities " are made high by transmitting successive pulses at intervals which alternate in length, memorizing the coherent phases # 1 , # 2 , # 3  of the received echoes resulting from three successive transmitted pulses to the same target and comparing these phases to produce signals which are a function of the algebraic sum # 1  + # 3  - 2# 2 . Alternate pulses from a synchronizing generator 11 of repetition period T are switched through a delay line 14 of delay # to trigger transmitter 12 at intervals T + #, T - # alternately. Received echo signals are (optionally) converted to I.F. in a frequency-changing stage 18, 19, 20, 21 in which 18 is a coherent oscillator locked in with transmitter 12. The coherent phases of the echo signals are obtained from a numerical phasecoder 300 whose output is fed in alternate pulse periods directly, and via a delay line 4 of delay #, to a combining circuit 6-9. An adder 9 thereby receives a first input comprising the undelayed # 3  signal, a second input comprising the # 1  signal delayed by a time 2T, and a third input comprising the # 2  signal delayed by a time T and amplitude-weighted by a factor of - 2 in a multiplier 8. The output signal from the combining circuit is a function of target velocity and is fed to a display tube 32. In a modification (Fig. 3, not shown), the two delay lines of delay 0 may be replaced by a single delay line which is switched between the transmitting and receiving sections of the radar. In a further modification the delay lines may be replaced by digital memory apparatus.

Measuring apparatus comprises two rotary measuring devices 4, 5 for measuring the variation in length of a sample of material 1 and locatable in positions spaced apart in the direction of variation in length to be measured, a differential gear assembly 12 having two input elements 10, 17 each driven by one of the measuring devices, and indicator means 25, 32 driven by an output element 20 of the differential gear assembly. In the embodiment illustrated the specimen is clamped between two clamps 2, 3 the load being applied to clamp 3. The specimen is held in contact with the measuring rollers 4, 5 by further rollers 6, 7, measuring roller 4 being mounted on axle 10 which ends in a bevel gear wheel 11 forming part of the differential gear assembly. The lower roller 5 is mounted on an axle 13 connected through a cross belt 15 to an oppositely rotating axle 17 which also ends in a bevel gear 18 forming another part of the gear assembly. Four idler bevel gear-wheels 21 mesh with the gears 11, 18. When the load is applied to the specimen, the rollers 4, 5 rotate an amount dependent on the extension of the specimen from the corresponding roller to the clamp 2. As a result of this rotation the gears 11, 18 will rotate in opposite directions and different amounts, causing the differential gear casing 19 and ring gear 20 to rotate. The difference in the angle rotated is directly proportional to the modulus of elasticity of the specimen and hence pointers 25, 32 can be calibrated to give a direct reading. The apparatus may also be used to measure contraction.
