Abstract: 1,078,711. Panelled walls. P. SCHMALZHAF. July 1, 1964 [July 1, 1963], No. 27226/ 64. Heading E1W.  A wall, facade or the like erected on the band grid system comprises wall panels 41 (Fig. 26) and posts 4, 5, 4<SP>1</SP> to connect and support them, wherein each post on at least three sides has attachment means whereby a panel 41 may be attached to each of the sides of the post, and each panel 41 has a width greater than any dimension of the cross-section of the post 4, 5, 4<SP>1</SP> measured parallel or rectangular to the panel 41, attached to the post, so that the post 4, 5, 4<SP>1</SP> does not project beyond planes defined by the faces of the panels 41, each having along two opposite vertical edges projections 42 the width of which is less than the panel width, secured to the attachment means on the post 4, 5, 4<SP>1</SP>, so that a panel 41 can be secured between or removed from between two posts 4, 5, 4<SP>1</SP> without disturbing the rest. The last condition is also obtained in an alternative wherein each post has projecting attachment means 23 on only two opposite sides (Fig. 10) whereby a panel (Fig. 20) may be attached to each such side and wherein the width of each panel and the dimensions of the cross-section of the post are inter-related as stated above, each panel having along at least one vertical edge projections defining a recess, the distance between the outer edges of which is less than the width of the panel and at least one of the sides of the post free of attachment means is adapted to be fitted into the recess on the panel, so that a projection on the panel can be secured to a projecting attachmenit on the post or that the said free side of the post can be fitted into the recess on the panel to permit panels to be attached to at least each of three sides of the post. The attachment means may comprise a tongue, fin or like projection, or a groove, slot, hole or like recess. The joints between the posts and the panels may be hidden behind covers 55, clipped in position (Fig. 26). Figs. 21 to 24 show the other forms of panel projections. Eighteen forms of posts are described of which Figs. 3, 5 and 15 show examples.

Abstract: 941,469. Feeding sheets. COMPAGNIE DES MACHINES BULL. March 10, 1960 [Dec. 30, 1959], No. 27305/62. Divided out of 941,468. Heading B6B. In apparatus for separating sheets sequentially from a magazine wherein the sheets 11 are fed towards the separator means for an advancing device and one edge of each sheet is aligned against a wall 12, compressed air is supplied to an opening 133 in the wall 12 through a nozzle 130, and if the air can escape too freely between the sheets due to a loosely-packed stack, then a control is actuated to cause the advancing device to operate. As described, the invention is applied to sheet separating apparatus disclosed in Specification 941,468, from which the present Application is divided. The sheets 11 of assorted sizes rest on edge on the inclined magazine wall 12, and are supported by a vertical wall 14 and front plate 13 adjacent a suction drum 21. An endless belt 96 is arranged on rollers 102, 103 on the wall 12, and can be driven by a motor 111 to feed the stack of sheets towards the drum 21. The circuit of the motor is closed when a contact 112, Fig. 3, on the flexible dividing wall of a chamber 122, is closed due to a pressure difference in the chamber. One side of the chamber is connected with a duct 128 supplied with compressed air from a channel D, which air escapes through an orifice 131 controlled by a valve 132. The other side of the chamber 122 is connected with a duct 126, also supplied with compressed air from the channel D, which air escapes through the nozzle 130 and an elongated hole 133 in the wall 12. If the sheets 11 are so loosely stacked that air escapes through the hole 133 and between the sheets too freely, the pressure drops in the duct 126, the contact 112 is closed, and the motor 111 drives the belt to feed the stack forwardly. The wide belt 96 may be replaced by a number of narrow belts which may be vibrated: or the belt may be replaced by feed shoes fitted in a slideway in the wall 12.

Title: Operation of field-effect transistor circuits having substantial distributed capacitance in a memory system

Filed: 1971-06-15
Abstract: 1338958 F.E.T. gating circuits RCA CORPORATION 15 June 1971 [18 Sept 1970] 27936/71 Heading H3T The stray capacitance 12b, 12d associated with selectably conductive F.E.T.'s N3, N4, N5, N6 in a memory system is precharged by a switch such as F.E.T. P 10  or P 11  to +V DD , the switch being made non-conductive when any of the F.E.T.'s N3, N4, N5, N6 conducts. The F.E.T.'s N3, N4, N5, N6 connect respective bi-stable cells 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d in the memory to lines D 1  and D 0  which apply input data or receive output data. F.E.T.'s P 10 , P 11  are normally on to precharge the capacitances of these lines, N 10 , N 11  being off. When writing, W goes to 1 (relatively positive) and inverter 25 gives 0, so that if the data is 0, NOR 22 gives 1 and N 10  conducts to earth D 1 , and set the bi-stable selected, say 10a. The 1 from NOR 22 inhibits NOR 24 to keep N 11  off, and makes NOR 23 output go to 0 to turn on P 11  and apply +V DD  to D 0 . The 0 from NOR 24 and 0 from NOR 20 (W is 1) makes NOR 21 output 1 to hold off P 10 . When the data is 1, N 10 , P 11  go off, and N 11 , P 10  go on. To read, the stroke input to NOR 20 goes to 1; and W to 0 so that 25 gives 1 to inhibit NOR 22, NOR 24 and keep N 10 , N 11  both off, and the 0 outputs of NOR 22, NOR 24 together with 0 from NOR 20 hold NOR 21 NOR 23 outputs at 1 and P 10 , P 11  off. Thus all precharging transistors are off during read operations.
