    Abstract: A HOUSING IS PROVIDED HAVING A PLURALITY OF THIN WALLS LOCATED ADJACENT AND PARALLEL TO ONE ANOTHER WITH EQUAL SMALL SPACINGS THEREBETWEEN. EACH SPACING BETWEEN THE WALLS DEFINES A RECEPTACLE HAVING AN UPPER AND LOWER SECTION SEPARATED BY A MIDDLE SECTION. THE MIDDLE SECTION HAS AN OPENING WHICH EXTENDS THROUGH THE HOUSING AND WHICH IS SUFFICIENTLY LARGE SO THAT AN END SECTION OF A DOUBLE-ENDED CONTACT MEMBER CAN PASS THERETHROUGH. THE DOUBLE-ENDED CONTACT MEMBER HAS A TUNING FORK-SHAPED END SECTION AT EACH END OF A MIDDLE SECTION. AFTER ONE END OF THE DOUBLE-ENDED CONTACT MEMBER IS PASSED THROUGH THE MIDDLE SECTION OPENING OF THE RECEPTACLE, THE CONTACT MEMBER IS PIVOTED SO THAT ONE TUNING FORK-SHAPED END FITS INTO THE UPPER SECTION OF THE RECEPTACLE AND THE OTHER TUNING FORK-SHAPED END FITS INTO THE LOWER SECTION OF THE RECEPTACLE. LOCKING MEANS ARE PROVIDED FOR HOLDING THE DOUBLE-ENDED CONTACT MEMBER LOOSELY IN POSITION WITHIN THE HOUSING SO THAT THE CONTACT MEMBER IS PIVOTALLY WITHIN PREDETERMINED LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY THE LOCKING MEANS.

    Abstract: Three electrically conductive sheets are provided which are bonded together to form an electrical coaxial interface connector. The middle or signal plane sheet is made of a spring material and has formed therein a plurality of paired contact members. The outer or ground plane sheets are coated with a dielectric material. These outer sheets have openings therein which are indexed with the underlying contact element of the paired contact members. Once the three conductive sheets are bonded together, the interconnecting pads between the paired contact members are removed to provide electrical isolation. A tool is provided which consists of pins and opposed die surfaces which, when positioned with respect to the connector, provides a means by which the contact elements are bent so that they extend through the openings indexed therewith in the outer conductive sheets.

    Abstract: An improved tape storage rack and tape cartridge handler is provided for tape cartridges having a generally elongated cylindrical shape. The cartridge handler fetches the cartridge from any location in the rack but returns the cartridge to a position that is most readily accessible to the cartridge handler. Since the most recently fetched cartridges tend to be the most frequently used cartridges, this tape cartridge storage device tends to keep the most often used cartridges in the position for fastest access, and the average access time for the cartridge handler is reduced. In one embodiment of the invention cartridges are located in tandom on a removable sleeve in cells of the rack. A cartridge removed from a sleeve is returned to the outer most cartridge position of the sleeve so that the distance that the sleeve must be removed from its cell is kept low. In a second embodiment of the invention, cartridges are stacked one on top the other in vertical columns of the rack. When a cartridge is removed from a rack, any higher positioned cartridge is dropped one position and the cartridge that has been removed is later returned to the upper most position of its column in the rack. Thus, a high portion of the cartridge fetching operations are made at the uppermost positions of the rack.

    Abstract: A PRINTED CIRCUIT ON A CIRCUIT BOARD IS ARRANGED TO GIVE A SEQUENTIAL PULSE OUTPUT WHEN THE CIRCUIT IS COMPLETED. A CHANNEL IS ATTACHED TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD SO AS TO CROSS VARIOUS CIRCUIT LINES. AT EACH CROSS POINT BETWEEN A CIRCUIT LINE AND THE CHANNEL, THERE IS A GAP IN THE CIRCUIT SUCH THAT THE GAP CAN BE BRIDGED BY A CONDUCTIVE PELLET TRAVELLING THROUGH THE CHANNEL THUS COMPLETING THE CIRCUIT TO PROVIDE THE PULSE OUTPUT. THE DEVICE CAN BE PROGRAMMED OR PRECONDITIONED BY PROVIDING A SECOND CHANNEL WHICH CROSSES THE CIRCUIT LINES AND WHICH HAS GAPS IN THE CIRCUIT LINES WHERE THE SECOND CHANNEL CROSSES. A RESERVOIR OF CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL IS CONNECTED TO THE SECOND CHANNEL AND IS ADAPTED TO BE ENERGIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN ASSOCIATED DEVICE SUCH AS A CAMMED COUNTER WHEEL. THE CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL RISES AND EBBS IN THE SECOND CHANNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE RESERVOIR THUS BRIDGING A CORRESPONDING NUMBER OF GAPS. THE CONDUCTIVE PELLET, AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE FIRST CHANNEL, PRODUCES PULSES AT THE OUTPUT BY COMPLETING THE CIRCUITS OF ONLY THOSE CIRCUIT LINES WHICH ARE PRECONDITIONED BY HAVING THE SECOND GAPS IN THE SECOND CHANNEL BRIDGED BY THE CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL THEREIN.

    Abstract: A segment of a main transmission line is located equidistant between and parallel to a first and second coupling segment. The first coupling segment has an input terminal at one end thereof for connection to a stub line. The second coupling element has a terminating impedance located at the end thereof opposite said input terminal end of said first coupling segment. A conductor connects the other opposite ends of said first and second coupling segments so that a pulse travelling thru said main line segment or said first coupling segment in a direction away from said input terminal end of said first coupling segment will couple to the other travelling in the reverse direction.
