Abstract: 218,339. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, (Koppers Co.). Jan. 4, 1923. Gaseous-fuel furnaces.-Relates to vertical coke ovens and comprises arrangements by which rich and poor gas can be alternatively used for heating, and niodifications in the heating-wall structure. Each heating-wall contains two pairs I, K of flues 16 associated respectively with the regenerators I<1>, K<1>, and connected at their lower ends by the horizontal flue 25. The regenerator chambers are grouped in pairs and adjacent chambers of adjacent pairs are connected to the same heating-wall through the horizontal flues 23 and ports 24. The alternate pairs L of the chambers on both sides of the bench are also connected through vertical flues 31 and horizontal flues 32 with the lower ends of the flues 16, the arrangement being such that air or gas heated in the chambers L on the right-hand side of the bench is delivered through ports 33 to the lefthand pairs of flues 16, and vice versa. The gas and air supply arrangements comprise upper and lower nozzles 26, 30 for rich gas, poor gas mains 52, 54 connected through reversing-valves with the pair L of the regenerator chambers, and air supply passage 46, 48 connected to the lower ends of the regenerators through damper-controlled ports 47, 49. The nozzles 26 open into mixing- chambers 28, which are connected to the lower ends of the flues 16 through ports 35 and vertical passages 34, so that combustion products will be drawn into the mixing-chambers to dilute the rich gas. Inspection openings, such as 56, 58, are provided in the top wall of the oven to give access to the various vertical flues and their controlling dampers. In operating with rich gas all the regenerator chambers are used to heat the air for combustion, and in each phase of working gas is supplied to the upper end of one pair of flues 16 and to the lower end of the other pair through the nozzles 26, 30 respectively. When poor gas is used air is heated in the pairs of chambers M and gas in the chambers L, the air inlet dampers to the latter chambers being closed.

Abstract: 1, 249, 451. Measuring speed. INFORMATION STORAGE SYSTEMS Inc. Jan. 6, 1970 [Jan. 21, 1969], No. 683/70. Heading GIN. In a servosystem for radially positioning a read/ write head on a recording disk, the radial velocity of the head is measured by continuously deriving an "acceleration derived" signal by integrating the current through the servomotor and intermittently deriving accurate "position derived" signals by differentiating or otherwise operating on signals representing the radial position of the head and using the "position derived" signals to correct the "acceleration derived" signal whereby to obtain an accurate velocity signal. As shown in Fig. 3, integrating capacitors 34, 42 are charged at a rate proportional to the current through the servomotor 11, switches 53 and 56 or 55 and 54 being closed depending on the direction in which the motor is running. An alternating position signal from a transducer (13) is differentiated at 25 and fed to sampling circuits 19 and 20 which, under the control of switches 33, 29 and 37, 41 are intermittently connected to the capacitors 34 and 42 respectively to correct the charge thereon. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 5 (not shown), the position signals are in the form of pulses produced as the read/ write head crosses the tracks on the disk. A ramp generator (67) is reset by each of these pulses, and a capacitor (72) is discharged from a fixed voltage V at a rate proportional to the peak voltage reached by the ramp generator (67), this being inversely proportional to the speed of the head. A further ramp generator (75) is started by the leading edge of each track crossing pulse and stopped when capacitor 72 is discharged, thereby reaching a peak voltage proportional to the radial velocity of the head.

Title: Trilevel sandcastle pulse encoder
Inventor: HETTIGER JAMES
IPC: H04N9/44
Filed: 1994-03-03
Abstract: In a color TV receiver incorporating automatic kinescope bias (AKB) control circuits, a first train of monolevel pulses with timing suitable for retrace blanking purposes and a second train of monolevel pulses with "backporch" timing appropriate for burst gating purposes are applied to a circuit serving to generate at a first terminal a train of bilevel pulses exhibiting a first voltage level during periods of overlapping of the pulses of the first and second trains, and exhibiting a second, lesser voltage level during the remaining, non-overlapping portions of the pulses of the first train. A resistor interconnects the first terminal with a second terminal. A keyed voltage source, responsive to a third train of monolevel pulses timed to indicate recurring kinescope bias control intervals, develops a voltage of a third level, intermediate the first and second voltage levels, at the second terminal during the recurring control intervals. The keyed voltage source exhibits, during the control intervals, an output impedance significantly lower than the impedance exhibited by the interconnecting resistor. During periods intervening successive ones of the control intervals, the voltage source is effectively disabled and exhibits an output impedance significantly higher than the impedance exhibited by the resistor.

Title: Method of confiscating a card in a combined reading apparatus, and combined reading apparatus
Inventor: CHEVALIER MICHEL
IPC: G06K7/06
Filed: 1995-05-04
Abstract: A data bearing card having first contacts connected to an integrated circuit on the card is read and confiscated if invalid or bogus. The card is translated in a first direction from an admission chamber to a reading station having second contacts adapted to engage the first contacts so data signals can be coupled between the integrated circuit and a data processor. After data stored in the integrated circuit have been read through the contacts the card is fed in a second direction of travel from the reading station back toward the admission chamber until the card has been completely extracted from the reading station. If the card is bogus, the reading station pivots to open a path for the card to a confiscation bin located beneath the reading station. The bogus card is then fed in the first direction into the confiscation bin. The contacts are cleaned because they rub on each other as a result of the reading station and the second contacts thereon being pivoted and translated across the first contacts in response to the card being inserted into the reading station.
