Abstract: 1,136,598. Regulating I. C. engines. JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd. May 31, 1966 [June 3, 1965], No. 23667/65. Heading F1B. An I. C. engine fuel control means comprises a chamber 26 having a movable wall 27, the chamber being subject to inlet manifold pressure through a non-return valve 29, the opposite side of the movable wall being subjected to atmospheric pressure means permitting a controlled atmospheric bleed into the chamber and translatory means for transmitting movements of the movable member to the control means to vary the fuel supply in accordance with atmospheric pressure changes. Pressurized liquid fuel is fed via port 18 to one end of the bore of an engine-driven rotating sleeve 14 thereby moving shuttle 15 to eject fuel present in the other end of the bore via port 19 to an appropriate injector-nozzle 11. Continued rotation of sleeve 14 causes pressurized fuel to be admitted to the opposite end of the bore causing the shuttle 15 to return to its initial position thereby ejecting fuel present in the first bore end to a further nozzle. The shuttle stroke is controlled by a movable stop 17 which engages a cam face 23a. The position of the cam face 23a is controlled by a piston/cylinder device 22 subjected to the inlet manifold pressure which is also admitted to the chamber 26. Movements of the wall 27 controls the datum setting of the cam face 23a through levers 30, 31. The outer surface of wall 27 is subject to ambient pressure and the wall 27 may be porous to allow a controlled equalization of the pressure in chamber 26 with ambient pressure.

Filed: 1948-09-08
Abstract: 653,999. Turning-gear. JENKINS, R. G. C. (Parsons, J. B.). Sept. 8, 1948, No. 23676. [Class 7(v)] [Also in Group XXIX] A hydraulic jack H, for the power actuation of motor vehicle members such as windows or seats, is actuated by a pump P driven by the engine starting motor M and a control valve C in its normal intermediate position connects the pump outlet 22 to its inlet 23 and when moved to either side of this position completes the starting motor circuit and directs the pump output to one end or the other of the jack H through pipes 16, 17. The valve C. Fig. 3, comprises a valve member 38, with grooves 39...41 therein, rotated by a disc 52 connected to a dashboard control 28. In the intermediate position the groove 41 connects together ports 31, 32 connected to the pump outlet and inlet pipes, so that the pump idles when the motor M is actuated to start the engine. Rotation of the member 38 on one side or the other of its intermediate position causes the grooves 39, 40 to connect the ports 33, 34 to the ports 31, 32 respectively, or vice versa, whereby the pressure liquid flows through pipe 16 or 17 to actuate the jack H, the circuit of the motor M having been completed to operate the pump P by contact of one of the shoulders 66, 67 on a conducting disc 60 carried by the disc 52 with an electric terminal 63. A reservoir R is connected in the pump return pipe 23 and the valve member 38 is spring- biassed towards its intermediate position.

Abstract: 337,452. Gilbert, W. V. Aug. 1, 1929. Planes, arrangement and construction of; controlling.-A structure for a variable camber supporting surface for aircraft comprises three main members or spars, 1, 2, 3, Fig. 1, diverging from the tip to the body, means for normally supporting the central main member 1 which is structurally continuous from tip to tip, and means for varying the distance between the members 2, 3 so as to varv the camber of the surface. The inner ends of the spars 2, 3 are connected by struts 6, 5, to the spar 1 and to a dummy spar 7, Fig. 2, hinged to the spar 1 at 8, respectively. The spar 1 is connected centrally to the body structure by rubber cords. The wing ribs are formed in two portions 14, 14a. The spars 2 are connected by a member 12 pivoted to longerons 11. The rear spars are similarly connected and are pivoted to slides 20 mounted upon the longerons 11. The slides 20 may be moved to vary the camber by a lever and connecting rod, in which case a ratchet is provided for the lever, or by screw and nut or worm and wormwheel mechanism. Alternatively variation of camber may be effected by moving the main spar 1 upwardly or downwardly by means of similar mechanism thus causing the spars 2, 3 to approach one another and the ribs 14, 14a to pivot about hinge 8. In a modification spar 1 is mounted in a vertical slide and the inner ends of spars 2 and 3 are each slidable on the longerons and are operated simultaneously. Alternatively the spar 1 may be floatingly attached to the body by means of a link pivoted to spar and body and inclined to the vertical in the position of minimum camber. According to a further modification, the front or rear spars of lightly loaded wings may be omitted and the front or rear portions of the wing made as a hollow shell.

Title: Data processing systems
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1972-05-24
Abstract: 1354827 Data processing systems INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 24 May 1972 [25 Aug 1971] 24383/72 Heading G4A  A bus/gating system interconnects a backing store 10, buffers 16, 18, 20 and users 22, 24 and 26, 28, each user having a respective dedicated buffer, and each user requesting a data unit (page) can search and access the buffers dedicated to the other users for the requested data unit if that unit is not found in its own buffer whereby a data unit need only exist in one buffer. Each user can normally access its associated buffer 16, 18, 20 independently over gates such as A1, D1. If the address of a data item cannot be found in the buffer by a search mechanism 50, control and priority logic 43 is signalled to connect the requesting user, e.g. CPU1 to the data and address busses 38, 40 when they become available to CPU1 on a priority basis by way of gates D3, A3. When the address search mechanisms of the other buffers are free, which may or may not occur concurrently, the appropriate gates D5, A5 and D9, A9 are opened by logic 43 so that if the requested data unit resides in either of those buffers it is transferred directly to the requesting user, and the transfer logic 43 then restores the gates to their normal condition. If the required data unit is not found in any of the buffers, a transfer from main storage 10 must take place. To this end, logic 43 signals the buffer of the requesting user so that its access and address mechanisms place the least recently used data item (determined by the corresponding use code 46) and its address on the data and address busses 38, 40 for transmission to the data and address registers 14, 12 of main storage 10 via gates D7, A7. After the store operation in storage 10, gate A3 is opened to transmit the address of the required data unit from the requesting user 22 to address register 12 over bus 40, and the address is also passed through gate A2 to become the new address of the location just vacated in buffer 16. Gates D2 and D3 are also opened by logic 43 so that the data item accessed from main storage is stored in buffer 16 and is supplied directly to the requesting user 22. The buffer 20 associated with channels 26, 28 may be a medium speed memory while buffers 16, 18 are high speed memories. Each user need not have access to all the buffers. As an example, CPU22 may execute problem programmes while CPU24 executes supervisory programs so that neither requires access to the other's buffer. Data not found in the buffer 16, 18 may be searched for in buffer 20 and memory 10 simultaneously. In another arrangement, Fig. 1c (not shown), medium and high speed buffers are interposed between a CPU and the backing store and a channel normally accesses the medium speed buffer.
