Title: Storage cell selecting system
IPC: G06F7/78
Filed: 1973-12-14
Abstract: 1442340 Memory system INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP 14 Dec 1973 [15 Dec 1972] 58014/73 Heading G4A A data store includes a plurality of addressable data word locations, at least one further word location each bit position of which corresponds to a respective one of the data word locations, each such further word providing data relating to all data word locations, e.g. whether a location contains a data word, and a logic means arranged to access the store in response to the further data word(s). As described a store CM includes 32 data locations C 0 -C 31  each of 32 bits and four further locations namely a write pointer word WP, a read pointer word RP, a high priority read pointer word HPRP, and a high priority write pointer word HPWP. The store forms part of a data processing system comprising two processors arranged to control a toll telecommunication switching system, Specification 1,419,191 being referred to. The processors access the store in accordance with the flow drawings of Figs. 2 and 3. Briefly each bit of word WP is 1 when the corresponding location is empty and 0 when full and each bit of word RP is 1 when the corresponding location is full and 0 when empty. The bits of words HPRP and HPWP have the same significance as those of RP and WP respectively. Initially WP is all ones, and RP and HPRP all zeroes. To write a word the left most bit of WP storing I is located and data indicative of its position is added to a base address to address the corresponding location into which data is written, the bit in WP being set to 0 and the corresponding bit RP to 1. To read a word the left most bit in RP is located, the corresponding location is addressed as above, the bit in RP is then set to zero, and, if only WP and RP are being used, the corresponding bit in WP is set to one. If however HPRP is used, HPRP marking those data locations which must be read first in order to read out data in the same order in which it was stored (the order being otherwise disrupted when write and read operations alternate) the bits of WP are not set following a read operation which is otherwise the same as when using RP (above) except that those locations marked by HPRP are read followed by those marked by RP. Whenever WP becomes all zero, due to its bits not being set to one following read operations, the system is arranged to derive a new WP word from RP and HPRP, the operations being described with reference to Fig. 3 and a control bit being set in the store to prevent more than one processor from deriving a new WP. Certain of the data locations may be marked, by ones, in the word HPWP as locations in which data requiring priority treatment, i.e. to be read first, out of sequence, is to be stored. The words HPWP and HPRP are used to control the writing and reading of such data in a manner similar to that in which WP and KP (when used alone) are used (see above).

Title: Ferroelastic crystals
IPC: G02F1/05
Filed: 1973-12-21
Abstract: 1421360 Ferroelastic crystals E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO 21 Dec 1973 [26 Dec 1972] 59334/73 Heading BIG [Also in Divisions Cl and H4] A ferroelastic crystal having a domain wall extending across the crystal in a zig zag configuration and partitioning the crystal into first and second ferroelastic domains having different strain states is made by applying a shear stress to such a crystal under conditions which inhibit planar domain wall formation. By ferroelastic is meant a crystal which has two or more spontaneous strain orientation states in the absence of mechanical stress but can be changed from one orientation state to another by mechanical stress. The crystal may also be a coupled ferroelectric/ferroelastic material exhibiting uniaxial electric polarisation. Specified materials are α-lead phosphate and materials of the formula, wherein R and R' represent scandium, yttrium or a rare earth element of atomic number from 57 to 71, x is 0 to 1.0 and e is from 0 to 0.2 e.g. #'gadolinium molybdate. The crystal having the zig zag configuration is preferably obtained by clamping portions of the crystal adjacent opposite faces to prevent deformation of the crystal in the clamped regions and to provide an unclamped central region having boundaries parallel to a twinning plane and applying an increasing shear stress to the crystal until one or more domain walls having a zigzag configuration appear in the unclamped region. Suitable apparatus is shown in the figure wherein C-cut crystal 10 having faces 16, 16', 16" and 16"' cut parallel to the (110) planes is clamped 11, by an adhesive along one portion 18 of crystal face 17 and a movable clamp 12 is cemented along an opposition portion 18' of the same crystal face 17 so that the edges 19 and 19' of the clamps are parallel to (110) planes. Desired pressure is then applied to clamp 12 by screw 13, to form zig zag walls 14 and 15. Another method of forming the walls is illustrated in Figure 5 (not shown).

Title: Apparatus for regulating the operation of a device in accordance  with the supply of sheets of material upon which the device  operates
IPC: B65H7/04
Filed: 1972-12-28
Abstract: 1387190 Feeding sheets XEROX CORP 28 Dec 1972 [30 Dec 1971] 59877/72 Heading B8R Operation of a machine such as an electrostatic reproducer is regulated in accordance with the condition of a supply of sheets (e.g. from a supply table such as that described in co-pending Application 59876/72. Control means 119 produces an "enable" signal in response to closing of switch 124 by an operator. Production of the "enable" signal is inhibited when a predetermined number of sheets remains in the supply. Furthermore, should the "enable" signal be produced and subsequently the last sheet of the supply is used, the enable signal is terminated and the machine turned off. Lamp 110 indicates the condition of supply of sheets and if there is a mis-feed. Lamp 114 flashes as a result of a pulsating voltage on terminal 113 when the supply of sheets is at or below the predetermined number. The low supply signal may be derived from a conventional switch means disposed and adapted to be contacted by the movable supply table of the above referred to Specification. Alternatively, the weight of supply pile or a photo-electric detector in the path of the pile may be used to generate the low supply signal, which is applied to flip-flop 101. The output of flip-flop 101 is supplied as an inhibit signal to the control means 119 via coincidence circuit or AND gate 104. By supplying the "enable" signal inverted to AND gate 104, the inhibit signal will not be produced until the last sheet of a particular sequence has been processed. Opening the access door to replenish the supply resets the flip-flop 101. Mis-feed in the machine is detected by a switch member in the path of a photoelectric detector, and provides an inhibit signal on terminal 109.
