Abstract: 1480407 Floodlight mounting PHOSCO Ltd 27 Oct 1975 [5 Dec 1974] 52739/74 Heading F4R Access to the interior of a floodlight housing e.g. for maintenance, is facilitated by rotating the housing on a stirrup support 4 without losing a desired beam elevation setting on a graduated scale 16 by releasing a clamp 26 securing the plate 8 carrying the scale to the support stirrup 4. As shown, the beam elevation is set by releasing only a first clamping screw 20 while the plate 8 is held fixed on the stirrup 4 by a second clamping screw 26 on a clamping plate 24 carried by the plate on a boss 12. After release of the screw 26 and rotation of the housing for access, the elevation is re-set by swinging the housing back, with screw 20 remaining tight, until the boss 12 abuts the support stirrup 4 when nut 26 is re-tightened.

Title: Improvements to data processing systems duplicated for reliability purposes
IPC: H04Q3/545
Filed: 1969-11-05
Abstract: 1,241,363. Digital computers. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 5 Nov., 1969 [8 Nov., 1968], No. 54284/69. Heading G4A. [Also in Division H4] A data processing system, for example, for controlling a telephone or telegraph exchange, comprises two identical digital computers which normally both operate simultaneously so as to be capable of operating the exchange, but only one of which actually controls the exchange so that if the controlling computer fails in any way the other computer takes over immediately. One computer ENS1 is shown in Fig. 1 with the other computer ENS2 (not shown) being leftwards thereof. The computer comprises a line block BL, a computing block BC, a ferrite core memory MF and a magnetic drum memory MT. In operation the block BL scans incoming lines REC, detects telegraph signals, processes them, and stores characters in the memory MF. The computer block BC takes the characters and forms them into messages which it stores in the memory MT together with operating instructions. When the message is to be retransmitted the block BC transfers it to memory MF from whence it is transmitted via block BL only if the gate pt is enabled by a signal SLIG. If the signal SLIG is not present no transmission is made from computer ENS but one is made from computer ENS2, and vice versa. An exchange memory ME ensures that both computers process at the same speed. Error detection in a computer.-A testing circuit CC receives periodic signals FAM from block BL and signals S11 from the block BC which indicate the respective units are still functioning. A signal FPR is sent when the computer programme is in error. If there are no errors, circuit CC sends a signal #FOT to a change over NAND gate PB which indicates whether computer ENS1 is on line or not. When ENS1 is on line, ENS2 is off line and produces a signal SLIG equivalent to #ADC, and the condition register RE provides signal LIG. Hence the NAND gate PB suppresses the signal #SLIG, and the computer ENS1 is on line as inverter IN provides signal SLIG to enable gate pt. If an error occurs, circuit CC sends signal FOT, the gate PB sends signal SLIG which is signal #ADC to computer ENS2, at the same time disabling gate pt. Hence the two computers ENS1 and ENS2 are immediately interchanged. The signal FOT goes to the block BC and causes a restart programme to commence (Fig. 2, not shown) which restores all the circuits of blocks BL and BC to zero, increases a failure counter by one and stops the computer if the counter has reached a certain level (the counter being periodically restored to zero). Otherwise it reloads the operating programme from drum TA and the computer is then ready to go on line again.

Abstract: 1450680 Automatic control of electric motors in washing machines HOTPOINT Ltd 23 Nov 1973 [27 Nov 1972] 54659/72 Addition to 1266691 Headings G3N and G3R The control unit for the washing and spin drying machine described and claimed in the parent Specification is modified by providing an additional first switch contact on the synchronous timer which controls the initial slow acceleration of the drum to the distribution speed and a second switch contact which allows the motor to run up to full spinning speed. The circuit is arranged so that on operation of the second switch contact alone or in other circumstances the motor is controlled to accelerate to the distribution speed before it can accelerate to the final spin speed. In the control circuit shown, closure of switch 14 provides a charging circuit for capacitor 17 through resistors 42, 43 and the diode 44 conducts to raise the signal voltage applied to transistor 22 which causes motor 1 to accelerate. When the distribution speed is reached switch 13 is closed and switch 14 opened and the signal voltage maintained through diodes 47, 48. Capacitor 17 charges further and causes transistor 18 to conduct which in turn by charging capacitor 16 makes transistor 19 conduct to provide a large base current to transistor 22 which causes rapid acceleration of the motor. When switch 13 alone is closed, capacitor 17 charges slowly through diode 48 to slowly accelerate the motor to the distribution speed. If the power supply is interrupted capacitors 16, 17 will discharge completely so that on restoration of power the slow and fast acceleration stages occur. Other features of the control system described are claimed in Specification 1450670.
