Abstract: 1,162,719. Recording-apparatus. HONEYWELL Inc. Nov. 15, 1967 [Nov. 21, 1966], No. 51944/67. Heading G1J. [Also in Division G2] Multi-channel apparatus for permanently recording and immediately displaying input signals comprises transducers 32 for receiving the input signals, styli 42 for producing projectable recordings 62, 64, 66 of the input signals on a record medium 12 and a screen 50 on which the recordings are displayed by projecting means which bring the recordings into positions corresponding to the time relationship between the input signals. The record medium is moved longitudinally by a capstan 22 driven by a motor 24 and is preferably made of a polyester material such as polyethylene terephthalate forming a transparent base provided with a thin opaque coating such as graphite impregnated paint. As shown, three recordings 62, 64, 66 are scratched on the record medium by three styli each of which is connected to the shaft 38 of its respective transducer 32, each transducer being fed by an amplifier 36 and a signal input device 34. A fixed stylus 90 provides a straight line reference recording 94. Associated with each stylus is a projecting means comprising a lamp 44 having a reflector 46, a lens system 48 and a colour filter 52 so that the transparent recordings are displayed on the frosted glass screen 50. The lens systems may be manually adjusted to alter the positions of the images 62<SP>1</SP>, 64<SP>4</SP>, 66<SP>1</SP> on the screen. A system of lamps 86, 96 and photo-electric cells 88, 98 is provided to reproduce the recorded input signals.

Filed: 1969-10-24
Abstract: 1292134 Locking steering shafts NISSAN MOTOR CO Ltd and KANTO SEIKI CO Ltd 24 Oct 1969 [24 Oct 1968] 52209/69 Heading B7J [Also in Divisions E2 and F1] A steering shaft locking device comprises a lock 21 having an inner cylinder 21a rotatable by a key 16 inserted thereinto, a bolt 19 biased towards the steering shaft 10 by a helical spring 29, a generally cylindrical control member 23 rotatable with the inner cylinder 21a and a generally cylindrical rotary member 26 axially slidable relative to the control member 23 and resiliently connected thereto by a resilient member 27 which biases the rotary member 26 towards the lock 21, an ignition switch 22 also being operatively connected with the lock 21, the arrangement being such that with the steering shaft 10 in a locked position (Figs. 1 and 6) with the bolt 19 protruding thereinto an end wall portion 19a of the bolt 19 is supported by a flat face of the rotary member 26 and when the key 16 is moved to an unlocking position of the steering shaft 10 with the bolt 19 raised therefrom the end wall portion 19a of the bolt 19 is held by either of the side walls of the control member 23 or the rotary member 26. As shown in Figs. 1, 3, 6 the rotary member 26 is located coaxially within the control member 23 and in the locking position of Figs, 1, 6, the end wall portion 19a is supported inside a window 23d of the control member 23 on the flat bottom face of a semi-cylindrical recess 26a in the rotary member 26 with the ignition switch 22 disconnected from a power source. Clockwise rotation of the key 16 (see Fig. 8) rotates the inner cylinder 21a and also control member 23 and rotary member 26, and the members 23, 26 push the wall portion 19a against the spring 29 to cause the bolt 19 to withdraw from the steering shaft 10. The resilient member 27 which is in the form of a volute spring, then acts on the rotary member 26 to cause it to rotate clockwise in the control member 23 until it abuts a stop 33 and also to drive it towards the lock 21 whereupon the tip portion 16a of the key 16 passes into a hole 26f in the rotaty member 26. The rotary member 26 and the control member 23 are then further rotated clockwise by the key 16 and the ignition switch 22 becomes connected to the power source. Counterclockwise rotation of the key 16 results in the wall portion 19a being carried by the rotary member 26 but the shaft 10 remaining unlocked and it is only relocked by removal of the key 16. As shown in Fig. 13 the control member 123 and the rotary member 126 are in axial face-toface relationship and two resilient members are included in the device, viz. a hair-spring 127 to give the rotary member 126 an angular moment and a coil-spring 127<SP>1</SP> to give the rotary member 126 an axial bias towards the lock cylinder 121.

Abstract: 1407098 Electroluminescence INSTITUT POLUPROVODNIKOV AKADEMII NAUK UKRAINSKOI SSR 8 Dec 1972 56858/72 Heading C4S An electroluminescent device comprises EL layer 4 between an opaque reflective electrode 2 and a partially transparent reflective electrode 6 forming a Faby-Perot cavity, protective layer 3 of a refractive index close to or equal to that of the EL layer, and the coeff. of diffusion of layer 3 into EL layer 4 and that of electrode 2 into the protective layer and the protective layer thickness being selected so that no diffusion of electrode 2 and substantially no diffusion of the protective layer into the EL layer occurs at the thermal annealing temperatures. The phosphor may be Mn doped vacuum evaporated ZnS, Et doped ZnS or Mn doped ZnSe, the opaque electrode of Al, the partially transparent electrode of Au, and the protective layer of undoped crystallized ZnS film. Substrate 1 may be glass or quartz, electrode 2 vacuum evaporated, cathode sprayed or chemically deposited and of high reflection index (R # 65%) and of Au, Ag or Mn, layer 3 of insulating oxides e.g. Ta 2 O 5  or SiO and crystallized to reduce diffusion. Layer 3 is preferably based on the phosphor but undoped, refractive indices being equal. The optical thickness of layer 3 with layer 4 satisfies the interference relationship for maximum emission at a given wavelength and viewing angle with the metaldielectric junction phase-jump allowance. 20 to 25 nm. thick insulator layer 5 inhibits shortcircuit effects. Fields may be 10<SP>5</SP> to 10<SP>6</SP> v./cm. and emission colour variable as layer 4 thickness. Examples disclose specific thicknesses and material combinations. In fabrication, an evaporated Au layer and undoped ZnS may be annealed in vacuo at 550‹ to 660‹ C. resulting in crystallization, the EL layer then two step sprayed by evaporation on a cold substrate, Mn being introduced by vacuum evaporation as a pure metal (1 to 5% conc.) and a further undoped layer sprayed, the device being annealed at 650‹ to 700‹ C. for crystallization and activator diffusion.

The gun axes 17, 27, 37 may be coplanar with axis 28 coinciding with the main axis of the tube, and the axis 17, 37 displaced and parallel on either side. The axes 18, 38 of electrodes 16, 36 are displaced outwardly from the axes 18, 38 of the guns 10, 30, while remaining parallel to and in the same plane as the axes of the guns. The diameter of electrodes 16, 36 is greater than the diameter of the electrodes 15, 25, 35 by at least twice the displacement. In another arrangement, the guns are arranged with their axes parallel to the tube axis and displaced therefrom in triangular fashion, the electrodes 16, 26, 36 being further displaced from the axis. The effect of the displacement of electrodes 16, 26, 36 is to deflect the electron beams from the guns so that the beams converge on a single point, even though the gun axes are parallel. The parallel arrangement of the guns enables these to be assembled on a jig with pins, and the guns to be joined together and removed as a unit without disassembling the pins.

A device for facilitating the repair of a seam between adjacent edges of a laid carpet comprises a pair of parallel members connected together at their ends by a pair of telescopic members, means provided on the parallel members for engaging the carpet, a toggle linkage operable to cause the telescopic members to contract in length and the parallel members to come together in order that said edges are brought together. Parallel bars 11, 12 have flat under surfaces 13, 14 from which project inwardly-inclined pointed pins 21, 22. Lugs 31 and 32 are fixed to opposite ends of the bars 11, 12. A transverse rod 33, rigid with each lug 31, is slidable in a bore formed in the opposed lug 32. A shaft 65, journalled in the lugs 32, is rigid at each end with a link 51 which is connected by a pivotal link 52 to the opposed lug 31. One link 51 is extended as a handle 67. In use, the bars 11, 12 are laid on carpet sections 16, 17 parallel to the interconnecting seam 15, and the pins 21, 22 are driven into the carpet. Handle 67 is then turned counterclockwise until link 52 crosses the axis of shaft 65 and a surface 70 on link 51 engages a pin 71 on lug 32. The carpet sections 16, 17 are thereby drawn together to abut closely at the seam position 15. In a modification a pawl pivoted to a lug 31 co-operates with a ratchet bar rigid with lug 32.
