In a translation process 31 the program model and its supporting data are supplied to the processor from a card reader of data is supplied to update the model already therein. This is followed by a verification process in which the answers to the questionnaire are checked for correctness and consistency and are also supplied to the processor via a card reader. In step 33 the questionnaire data is employedwith customizing instructions to operate on and select customizing instructions in accordance with entries on the questionnaire. The selected instructions, as modified, are sorted and used in step 34 to select and modify program statements and modules from the processor store. In step 35 the latter statements and modules are rearranged into an operable sequence and in step 36 the sorted statements and modules are merged with any previous partially customized output and presented as a customized program, e.g. on a deck of cards, a disc pack or a printout. The programming is described in considerable detail and other features mentioned include card punches, multiplexing, printout of various data, branching, magnetic tape, multiplication, division, subtraction, and application to billing, accounts, payrolls &c.

Abstract: 1523719 Dolls &c J J NEUSCHATZ 26 Nov 1975 [27 Nov 1974 1 Feb 1975] 51334/74 and 4606/75 Heading A6S  A doll comprises a slidable contact switch 11 which in the closed position causes the doll to exhibit a sympton of an illness by a detectable change in at least one surface quality of the doll, which symptom may be alleviated by applying treatment to the doll comprising opening of said switch. A high "temperature" may be produced by electrical heating element 9 in the forehead of the doll, or red spots may be generated by a lamp inside the doll and a partially opaque screen on the dolls interior surface. A child may check the "condition" of the doll by taking its "temperature" with a thermometer comprising an indicator 56, slidable in outer case 50, which is forced into said outer case to a greater extent past normal mask 53 when switch 11 is closed and the doll is "sick". The doll is "treated" by insertion of a spoon or pill into its mouth which causes opening of switch 11. Switch 11 may be connected via linkages to enable the "temperature" to be taken anally. In another embodiment the doll is provided with inflatable portions to simulate "mumps" and in this case movement of switch 11 allows egress of air from the inflated portions. In a further embodiment a rotating wheel having radial projections is employed to produce heart-beat like noises by the projections striking a surface wherein the speed of rotation of the wheel and thus the heart can be varied. The doll may also be provided with recording apparatus to indicate its 'condition, coughing apparatus, surgical incision closed with hook and eye inter-engaging strips, inflatable limbs of articulated or multipoint construction to simulate a beak the Setting of which is effected by inflation of said balloon. The doll may close its eyes in response to an injection and then reopen after a predetermined time The doll may have eyes which move in response to the presence of a magnet, e.g., the eyes may close when an anaesthetic mask is placed on its face: or correct alignment of the eyes achieved when glasses are fitted.

When the columella is to replace the whole of the bony structure of the middle ear the securing means may be an oval pad 14 fitting against the oval window, and made of material with the same properties as the pad 16 which fits against the ear-drum. The pads 14 and 16 may be made of carbon fibres bonded by polytetrafluoroethylene or a polyester fabric material and may be bonded to the columella, which may be made of polyethylene or polytetrafluoroethylene, with a perfluorinated high polymer which material may also form a layer 18, 20 for closing the pores on the sides of the pads facing the columella and thus preventing ingrowth of tissue between the pads which would interfere with the vibration transmission function of the structure. When the columella is to replace merely a part of the bony chain then it may be formed by a wire which has a pad at one end and is fixed to the bony structure by the wire at the other end. The wire may be plastics-coated.

Abstract: 545,857. Ignition systems. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., COE, R. T., WELCH, D. F., and ROBINSON, T. F. April 28, 1941, No. 5490. [Class 7 (iv)] In an ignition system of the separate transformer type, in which a low voltage magneto winding L1a supplies the primary winding L1b of a step-up transformer, the secondary winding L2 of which is connected to sparking plugs S1, S2 &c. the contact-breaker A being in parallel with the windings L1a, L1b, the coefficients #, y, k are so related that the frequency of the high-frequency component of the open-circuit secondary voltage is from 3 to 4¢ times that of the low-frequency component, in order to obtain a peaky secondary wave form. The coefficients are calculated from the formulae, Where L1a, L1b, L2 are the inductances, M is the mutual inductance between the transformer primary and secondary, C1 is the capacity of a condenser shunting the circuit-breaker A, and C2 the capacity of the secondary lead to a sparking plug. The required coupling coefficient k may be obtained by the construction described in Specification 537,317 ; alternatively the transformer may have a relatively open magnetic circuit, the secondary being wound on a central magnetic core to which the start of the winding is connected, the coupling coefficient being controlled by adjusting layers of magnetic material outside the primary winding or between the windings. The coupling between the windings may be further increased by the addition of laminated magnetic material at the end of the coil, e.g. in the form of split discs or rings.

Title: Microprogrammed processor

Abstract: 1496780 Peripheral processors HONEYWELL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Inc 18 Dec 1974 [18 Dec 1973] 54623/74 Heading G4A A microprogrammed peripheral processor linking via a peripheral sub-system interface and a device level interface a central processing unit and an input/output device (e.g. a disc store) includes a microprogramme control unit 304, Fig. 2, including a store, branch control circuitry and a decoder to generate from stored microinstructions control signals and a sequence controller 308 responsive to the control signals to transfer data from one interface to the other via a bi-directional transfer buffer 302-50 at a rate independent of the microprogrammed control unit. As described the sequence controller includes bistables set in accordance with the control signals derived from an I/O type microinstruction to control the transfer through two groups of registers forming the transfer buffer. Initially in response to an I/O instruction specifying a search key operation the input/ output controller decodes the instruction and initiates the transfer of a logical channel member byte, command code byte and flag byte to general purpose registers in the peripheral processor. The command code byte is then transferred to the ALU of the processor and tested bit by bit by the processor which consequently branches to the start of an appropriate routine. Provided that the head is in the headed to key gap of a record so that the next field is a key field a counter is set under the control of the microinstruction to the key length (obtained from the header portion of the record being read). The search argument bytes and the key field bytes read from the storage device are compared sequentially by the ALU, a flip-flop being reset if any pair of bytes do not match. After this operation status bits are set to reflect the result of the search. Provided there is no read error the input/output controller is signalled so the next command may be sent relating to, for example, an operation on the data field associated with the key field previously searched.
