Title: Circuit module incorporating a logic array
IPC: G06F9/22
Filed: 1975-04-02
Abstract: 1470147 Logic circuits INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 2 April 1975 [1 May 1974] 13543/75 Heading G4A A logic array 1 (Fig. 1) and a random access store 2 are interconnected such that some outputs of the array are connected back to inputs to the array and other outputs are connected as inputs to the store, the outputs of the store being connected as inputs to the array. The apparatus is operated by a clock 5 generating 4 clock signals CLA, CLB, CLC, CLD. During CLA the contents of the random access stack store 2 are read out to latches 2a. During CLB the logic array performs its logic operation using the contents of latches 2a and the outputs of the array from a previous cycle, held in latches 1d1. During CLC the outputs of the array are latched into latches 1b1 and during CLD the contents of the latches are directed either to an external bus 7 or to the stack store 2. The arrangement may be used for ANDing, ORing, shifting, adding 2 bytes or interrupting a routine. To add, in the first cycle the augend data is retrieved from the stack 2 and shifted through the array 1 to latches 1b1 connected to the outer loop. In the next cycle the addend byte is fetched from the stack 2 and applied to the inner loop for exclusive ORing with the augend byte in the array, the half-add result being stored in the stack 2 where the addend byte was previously held and bit carries being placed on the outer loop. At cycle time CLC byte carry and propagate signals are entered into the latches 1b1 of the outer loop. In the third cycle the halfadd result is added to the bit carries and the partial result stored in the stack, bit carries from this cycle being preserved in the outer loop latches. In the fourth cycle the full add result is obtained and stored in the stack. Plural interruptions are nested by storing the conditions established on the output latches 1b1 of an interrupted activity as a location in the stack associated with the nesting count factor. A plurality of such modules may be interconnected by a common bussing highway. Readonly arrays may be constructed using bipolar or FET technology.

Patent GB-279917-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in signalling mechanism
IPC: G08B25/12
Filed: 1926-06-03
Abstract: 279,917. Imray, O. Y., (Gamewell Co.). June 3, 1926. Receivers with fluid-pressare source of power; perforated-strip recorders; paperfeeding arrangements. - A signal recorder comprises means for recording impulses and means for determining the intervals between the records both driven from a source of fluid pressure and having a functional interdependence. When a magnet 84 is energized by signals, its armature 83 moves, thus swinging a lever 80 about its pivot 81 so that a pin 82 lifts a valve member 40 so as to carry the upper side of a flange 42 above the upper' wall of a groove 45 and the lower side above the lower wall of the groove. Fluid from a supply opening 75 is then admitted through a port 44, the portion of an opening 41 between flanges 42, 43, the groove 45, an outlet 47, a duct 48, and a plug 49 to a cylinder 34. The fluid moves a piston 33 towards the end 36 of the cylinder and thus causes the end 38 of a rod 35 to engage an ear 39<1> thus swinging a dog 30 about its pivot 31 so as to force down a punch 21. The end of the rod then passes over the ear and a spring 25 restores the punch and dog to their normal positions, the ear being disposed in a groove 38<1> in the rod. When the valve member 40 is lifted the lower end is raised above the lower wall of a groove 46, thus permitting the escape of fluid through the lower end of the opening 41 from a chamber 78 and from the lower portion of a barrel 65. The escape of fluid brings the contents of the chamber to atmospheric pressure and unbalances the pressures applied to the ends of a plunger 66, which then moves downwards to uncover a port formed by a duct 63 and thus starts the driving motor for paper-feed rollers 22, 23. Upon subsequent deenergization of the magnet the valve member 40 moves downwards and cuts off fluid communication between the supply opening and the cylinder and connects the interior of the cylinder with the atmosphere through the upper portion of the opening 41. A spring 37 restores the piston to its normal position. The end of the, rod moving with the piston swings the dog against the tension of a spring 32 far enough to permit the end to pass over the ear. When the valve member moves downward the flange 43 prevents further escape from outlet 77 and opening 79 through the opening 41, and the fluid flowing through a restricted passage provided between the plunger and the barrel will gradually increase the pressure in the chamber 78 and the fluid path connected with it so that, if the magnet is not again energized for a period longer than the longest interval between the parts of any signal for which the recorder is intended, the pressure in the lower portion of the barrel will be sufficiently raised to permit a spring 73 to move the plunger upwards and thus arrest the driving motor for the paperfeed rollers.

Abstract: 124,375. Boyd, J. Aug. 30, 1918. Stopping tubes.-A device for stopping boiler tubes comprises a rod C which is passed through the tube and carries a resilient washer J with a conical shield M to which segmental members K are pivoted. The members K and washer J yield to allow the device to be passed through the tube, and expand when clear of the tube end under the action of a spring I bearing against an adjustable collar H. The washer is then pressed against and closes the end of the tube B, as shown, and at the same time a washer R is pressed against and closes the other end of the tube, under the action of a nut P screwing along the central rod. The collar H has spring arms H, A serving to centre and support the device within the tube. The rod is in two parts jointed as shown at C' and held together by a nut E which screws over the joint, as shown in dotted lines. The washer R with a stiffening member Q may be flat, as shown, or slightly cupped.

Abstract: 621,026. Pneumatic gauging-apparatus. SOC. ANON. DE CONSTRUCTION DE MATERIEL AUTOMOBILE S.A.C.M.A. June 5, 1945, No. 14132. Convention date, April 22, 1944. [Class 106 (ii)] The invention relates to apparatus of the V-type used in pneumatic micrometry for verifying a transverse dimension comprising two lateral branches with flat faces inclined towards each other as a support for the test piece whose dimension causes the delivery of the gas and hence its pressure to vary. According to the present invention a pneumatic amplifying device, as for example described in Specification 612,010, actuates a valve controlling the delivery of the gas, the amplifier being mounted so that its axial position may be varied. As shown the apparatus comprises a body with two inclined branches 2, 3 supporting the work-piece 7. A sleeve 12 engages a cylindrical tube 13 which is fitted in an axial passage of the body and may be secured in position by a locking nut 15. A rod 16 axially mounted in the tube has a valve 19 which tends to be applied by a spring 18 against a seat 20, the degree of opening of the valve depending upon the displacement of the rod 16 by the piece 7. The end of the tube 13 is connected to a pressure-regulating device 23 supplied with compressed air and on which is mounted a manometer 25.
