Excuse the rant; I am usually a somewhat positive person but what I witnessed today really boiled my blood. Hubbs & I were at the coffee shop inside the big library atrium, and I was ordering a special Christmas drink. Beside me, some lady pushing a stroller was ordering steamed milk for her child.
Sheesh, I thought to myself, why isn't she better prepared as a mom? But then I reminded myself that I shouldn't judge.
Well, as I waited for my coffee, I noticed this lady taking her stroller outside. That was when I spotted her *other* child, a toddler of no more than 3 years, sitting *by herself* at the food court tables outside of the coffee shop. She had a juice in front of her and was sitting there drinking it all by her lonesome.
As I waited for my drink and as Hubbs grabbed us a seat, I noticed the same woman take her wallet and dash out of the library, leaving behind her purse, stroller, and two preschool children. My jaw dropped, and I realized that I hadn't judged too quickly. What was she doing?!?
My teacher instincts kicked in, as did my female instincts and general wariness of strangers. Did she not know that it only takes a minute for children to be kidnapped? Didn't she realize that her children were vulnerable, both because of their age and their inability to use words to express themselves?! Was she not aware that the atrium is often a shelter for vagrants and people of varying walks of life, including the mentally ill?!? My brain went into overdrive in fear for those kids. I debated calling 9-1-1. I looked at the time. I watched those children from the other side of the window like a hawk, knowing that if anyone tried to come near them, I would be at the ready to defend these helpless little people.
Meanwhile, I continued to wait for my coffee. I tried to reason that maybe she went to the bathroom and would be right back. When my coffee was finally ready 10 minutes later, this woman still hadn't returned, and the two kids were still sitting by themselves, the older one rocking the stroller back and forth a little and talking to the younger child.
I decided to call Hubbs to come out to the tables, and I approached the little girl to ask if her mom went to the bathroom. She was too young to string together a complete sentence, but she said no, and answered, "Mom went get sushi!"
A million thoughts ran through my mind, and I decided at that moment that I would wait a bit longer and then I would definitely call Social Services on this idiot. Before long, however, she came running into the atrium, sushi in hand. I promptly confronted her, asking her if she was aware that she had endangered her children, and letting her know that I was thisclose to calling the authorities. She basically told me to butt out, cussing at me and telling me that I didn't know what she was going through. What I let her know in no uncertain terms was that it didn't matter what she was going through; her job was to keep her children safe and she did not do so.
After I realized that this conversation would get nowhere and this woman was not receptive to feedback, we turned on our heels and left. There was no point to arguing any further with a person so caught up with themselves that they completely failed to consider the consequences of their stupid decisions on those around them. Hopefully my loud reprimand of her in the atrium was sufficiently embarrassing for her to never do that again, but somehow I think that this probably wasn't the first time she left her kids like that, and won't be the last. Stupid is as stupid does, and in my books, she is a bonafide stupid person worthy of sterilization. Those little kids deserve a real parent, one who loves them and keeps them safe at all costs. They deserve much better than her.
Anyway, what a brutal reminder of the fallen nature of people. I really dislike people sometimes, and today, this moron ranks #1 on my hate list.

Live Clean! & My Meme0 comments
Recently I've become obsessed with avoiding sulfates in my bath and beauty products. I'm not sure when it started; I just know that I've become somewhat compulsive about my purchasing of shampoos, conditioners, hand soaps, hair products, and body wash. Apparently, sulfates are bad for you. So are parabens, and so are a bunch of other ingredients that make our bath products smell/look good/work well. I have become increasingly committed to avoiding as many toxic ingredients as I can. Of course, it seems that I cannot avoid all bad chemicals entirely, save for washing and bathing with water alone. My vanity prevents me from going quite that far.
Anyway, my quest to detox from sulfates and parabens has led me to discover a line of products that, although not entirely 100% pure and natural and wonderful, comes pretty close to great without compromising on smell and functionality (two must-haves in my world). Live Clean (found at your local Shoppers, or London Drugs, and even Superstore) has a line of vegan, natural, cruelty-free and biodegradable products that smells pretty good and works well.
I've tried the Wave Enhancing "Purple Jewel" shampoo and conditioner, Apple Cider shampoo and "Clean Air" volumizing conditioner, Fresh Water moisturizing hand wash, and Live Clean Baby shampoo/body wash. No complaints yet, and now I'm determined to find the hair sprays for this brand as well.
Anyway, I thought I'd share my new favourite thing with you.
Some other quick facts a la meme:
Average number of hours of sleep each night = 6
Average number of hours at work = 11
My current book = Percy Jackson - The Lightning Thief
My hair = permed (well, a body wave) that was done last month
My hair stylist = quit on Friday when my hair cut was scheduled. Thanks a lot for nothing, lady.
My doctor = fired by me. He sucks. I just signed on with a new one.
TV Obsession = Dragon's Den (it's so much fun to watch these wannabe-entrepreneurs begging for VC and coming up with the strangest business ideas)
iPhone app most often used = Angry Birds Halloween
Favourite recent dine-out place = Chambar
Drug of choice = tie between Advil and PGX (my daily dose of soluble fiber)
Next month that I visit E-town = December
Next holiday = can't come soon enough but I have no idea whether it is going to be Reno/Lake Tahoe, or Disneyworld @ spring break

George Karpati Honoured with "Prix du Québec"
Karpati is recognized internationally as one of the leading experts on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. He has made seminal contributions in the area of muscular dystrophy. He was the first to show the localization of dystrophin to the muscle fibre surface and to demonstrate a lack of dystrophin in the fibres of Duchenne patients. Karpati demonstrated pre-clinical success with adenovirus-mediated dystrophin gene replacement in mice.
His research covers a broad range of basic and clinical studies on neuromuscular and neurological disorders, utilizing a broad spectrum of technologies including clinical science, histology, cytochemistry, molecular biology and genetics. Dr. Karpati's team has succeeded in eradicating the most malignant of brain tumours, glioblastoma, in preclinical models paving the way to clinical trials.
Karpati is directing a large, CIHR-supported international consortium dedicated to molecular therapies of nervous system diseases. Karpati is one of 35 principal investigators in the Canadian Networks of Excellence dedicated to stem cell research focusing on adult liver-derived stem cells.
Karpati's research over the years has resulted in approximately 250 original research papers and review articles published in major respected biomedical journals and numerous invited lectures and visiting professorships.

Second Sunday after Pentecost
Tone 1 and Eothinon 2
Martyrs Leontios, Hypatios and Theodoulos at Tripoli in Phoenicia
We are pleased to welcome you to worship with us today. Please note that only Orthodox Christians who have prepared themselves with prayer, fasting and a recent confession may approach to receive Holy Communion. Everyone is welcome to reverence the cross and to partake of the blessed bread at the dismissal. Please introduce yourself to our pastor, and ask him about membership in the Orthodox Church.
Today's Hymns and Readings
Troparion of the Resurrection – Tone 1
The stone being sealed by the Jews, and thy pure body being guarded by the soldiers, thou didst rise on the third day, O Saviour, granting life to the world. Wherefore, the heavenly powers acclaimed thee, O Giver of life, crying, glory to thy Resurrection, O Christ! Glory to thy kingdom! Glory to thy gracious providence, O thou only Lover of mankind.
Troparion of the Nativity of the Theotokos – Tone 4
Thy nativity, O Theotokos, hath proclaimed joy to the whole universe. For from thee did shine forth the Sun of justice, Christ our God, annulling the curse, and bestowing the blessing, abolishing death and granting us life everlasting.
Kontakion of the Theotokos – Tone 2
O undisputed intercessor of Christians, the mediatrix unrejected by the Creator, turn not away from the voice of our petitions, though we be sinners. Come to us in time, who cry to thee in faith, with assistance; for thou art good. Hasten to us with intercessions, O Theotokos, who dost ever intercede for those who honour thee.
Epistle – Romans 2:10-16 (Second Sunday after Pentecost)
Prokeimenon. Psalm 32.22, 1. Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us.
Verse. Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
BRETHREN, glory and honor and peace for every one who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. For God shows no partiality.
All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
Gospel – Matthew 4:18-23 (Second Sunday after Pentecost)
AT THAT TIME, as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.
And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.
Next week's homework: Romans 5:1-10 (Third Sunday after Pentecost)
Matthew 6:22-33 (Third Sunday of Matthew)

Question about HTC Touch P3450 Smartphone
After connecting a bluetooth headset to my t-mobile touch all seems working, but when I try to answer a call via my headset( HTC BHM200) people can hear me but I can't hear anything thru the headset. I hear a musictone when I have a call, but when I want to answer it, there's nothing. The voice of the caller stay's on my mobile phone !
I've tried several other headsets, like Nokia, and samsung but no success !
Can anyone help ?
Posted by henks on
I have the same problem with a new BlueAnt V1 and AT&T Tilt or HTC Touch. All functions work but no sound comes through in the ear piece.
I have the same problem with my sony ericsson mobile and bluetooth headset. It worked very well for about six months and now I can't hear anything in my headset although I can be heard by the caller when I talk into the headset. They can hear me but I can't hear them. Very frustrating problem. Can anyone help?
how to listen music on htc phones via bluetooth
LG enV2 phone and a H500 bluetooth. All heaset functions work - mic, control phone volume, etc - but I cannot hear through the headset. I tried my HS820 headset as well. I have the same issue.
Hi--First, make sure your "mute" function is off. Try holding both volume buttons at the same time for a second or two. If that doesn't help, while you're having a conversation, either with or without bluetooth, make sure your phone's volume is turned up. On a lot of phones the volume button will control both ringer and conversation volumes, but turning it up without the phone in use only affects the ringer volume. My husband thought there was something wrong with his bluetooth until we noticed his phone volume was set too low--not as noticeable on handset, but bluetooth apparently needs volume up pretty high!

I recently upgraded the hardware of my desktop and here is my experience with the new hardware. The upgrade consists of:
I've been putting off upgrading my ADP1 in fear of that I would brick it, but after reading that there now are official update images available I decided to give it a try.
I have been playing around with my Android Developer Phone (ADP) for about 2 weeks now, and this are my thoughts on it so far.
Finally, my HTC G1 Dev Phone running Android OS has arrived!
After the recent upgrade in ArchLinux of xorg-server from 1.4.x to 1.5.x my thrusty Logitech Marble FX trackball did not work entirely. The trackball does not have a dedicated scroll wheel, but by pressing a button, and using the trackball, you can scroll both vertical and horizontal.

I use both the zsh and bash shell, and most of the time I run them in screen. This happens in my favourite terminal: urxvt (aka rxvt-unicode).
We had a problem with the nagios check_mailq plugin at [work][1], it kept timing out. So I wrote a simple bash script (instead of 610 lines of perl) which is "compatible" with check_mailq (supports the same arguments) which uses "exim4" and is very quick. Just drop it in /usr/local/bin/check_mailq_simple.sh and adjust your nagios conf to use that instead of check_mailq
I decided to bring my [Powerbook Titanium][1] back into service as a server/torrent fetcher. So I downloaded [ArchLinux PPC][2] and installed it.

MULTIPLE BISTABLE ELEMENT SHIFT REGISTER Filed Sept. 5, 1963 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 Fig.3
11v VENTOR HAN5 HEYMANN 5r MAW United States Patent Ofiice 3,258,696 Patented June 28, 1966 3 Claims. C1. 328--37) The present invention relates to improvements in shift registers composed of interconnected bistable switching elements.
Shift registers of'this type commonly have their switching elements connected to a source of shifting or clock pulses; one switching element is usually in the on state while the other elements are in the off state. In synchronism with the appearance of the shifting or clock pulses, the on state is shifted from one element to the next one by successively turning on one element after the other. These elements may be interconnected so as to form an endless chain and the on state thus runs cyclically through the register. It is apparent that such arrangement can suitably be use as a pulse frequency divider with the division being equal to the number of stages employed.
The known networks of the above-mentioned type have several drawbacks. Usually, one needs a resetting device to return the switching elements to the zero or off state. This is particularly necessary because the various elements are quite capable of assuming arbitrary switching states whenever the register has been turned on as a whole, i.e., connected to the power supply source. Such arbitrary on states will also travel as shift register pulses and therefore a master resetting device is usually required to erase such disturbances before proper operation can commence. However, disturbances appearing while the register is running cannot be reset without first halting the shifting of the register. All of these disturbances continue to run through the register until the register is stopped and, until the register is stopped, the erroneous divider frequency pulses appear continuously. Since such disturbances might be cumulative, there might soon arise a number of disturbance pulses producing an erratic pulse pattern having a large number of widely differing superimposed frequencies.
It is an object of the present invention to avoid the aforementioned difficulties without increasing the number of circuit elements employed.
According to one form of the present invention, it is suggested to provide a plurality of bistable switching elements which are interconnected together and which are each connected to a source of shift register pulses in such a manner that each element can be switched only if its preceding element is in the opposite switching state at the time the pulse for switching appears.
In the series circuit network of switching elements defining the shift register there is thus provided a first ele ment which is switched on by a pulse derived from an and gate having as many gating terminals as there are switching elements, connections being made in such a manner that any gating terminal is at the gating open state when its associated bistable switching element is in its off state. The main input terminal of this and gate is connected to the shift register pulse delivery line.
This arrangement ensures that a cycle can be started only when all switching elements have returned to the off or zero state. But as soon as this condition exists, a new cycle is started. Thus, there is no arbitrary interruption at the end of any shift register cycle because the end of each cycle is characterized by the fact that the last switching element has reverted to its off state. Immediately thereafter, the first element is reset for switching, and switching will occur with the next shift register pulse, thus starting a new cycle.
Any disturbance appearing initially or during regular operation will indeed be shifted to the end of the register chain of switching elements, whereafter the register will be empty. This is true, regardless of how many disturbances there are, because the very first element will not be energized for a new cycle until all disturbances have been eliminated. It is thus impossible for proper shifting pulses as well as for disturbances to pass cyclically through the register until a complete interruption of operation has been somehow (for example, by a human operator) initiated.
The principle involved here is one of true cyclic operation, but the register is not a ring-type network. Cyclic operation is not attained by interconnecting respective first and last elements in the manner in which any other two succeding elements are interconnected, but the first switching element responds to all of the elements and not merely to the last one. One can see that by virtue of these provisions, no resetting device at large is necessary.
While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which is regarded as the invention, it is believed that the invention, the objects and features of the invention and further objects, features and advantages thereof will be better understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 illustrates schematically a block diagram of a first preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIGURE 2 illustrates schematically a block diagram of a second preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIGURE 3 illustrates in detail the salient and gate used in the network as illustrated in FIG. 1; and
FIGURE 4 illustrates a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
Proceeding now to the detailed description of the drawings, in FIG. 1 thereof there is shown a shift register comprised of a plurality of switching stages, altogether n+1, with n being a suitably selected integer. There exists nswitching stages, denoted with reference numerals 1, 1", 1 1 respectively.
Each such switching stage includes a bistable switching element 11', 11", 11, respectively. The bistable switching elements preferably are constituted by electronic flip-flops. Each switching element has one input terminal 13 and two output terminals 12a and 12b. The two possible states of the individual output terminals are to be designated with L and O, and the state of each flip-flop shall be characterized by denoting the L and 0 conditions of the output terminals (12a, 12b). It shall be assumed that a switching pulse L at input terminal 13 switches the flip-flop in any case from its previously existing state to the contrary one, i.e. from (O, L) to (L, O) or from (L, O) to (O, L).
For purposes of convenience a state (12a, 12b) 2 (L, 0) shall be considered to constitute the on" state of the flip-flop, whereas (12a, 12b):(0, L) shall denote the corresponding off state. The principle of operation involved in the present invention is independent of the polarity of pulses employed. Thus, the L-state may be positive or negative with regard to the O-state. Flipflops are usually wired so as to be completely symmetrical, and flip-flops can also be wired to respond to either negative or positive switching pulses. In the instant case, flip-flops with one inputs terminal are shown. Employment of those with two input terminals will be described below with reference to FIG. 2.
an and gate must have input signals L. Thus, the output L of an and gate 2a or 2b is determined by an input combination of LLL, whereas all other input combinations of L and O produce the ouput O at the output of such and gate.
The three inputs of each and gate 2a comprise the following connections: one input terminal connected to a line 3 delivering shift register pulses, for example, at the clock pulse rate frequency of the system to which this shift register pertains; a second input terminal connected to output terminal 12a of the flip-flop forming part of the same stage; and a third input terminal connected to output terminal 12b of the switching element of the preceding switching stage.
Correspondingly, the inputs of and gate 2b are furnished by (1) shift register pulse delivery line 3, (2) output terminal 12b of the switching element forming part of the same stage, and (3) ouput terminal 12a of the switching element of the preceding stage.
Any such and gate has thus two gating terminals respectively connected to two succeeding switching elements and a main input terminal (at line 3) to which are applied the shift register pulses.
The output terminals of and gates 2a and 2b are connected to respective inputs of an or gate 20, thus preventing undesired interaction between and gates 2a and 2b. The output terminal of or gate 20 is connected to the input terminal 13 of the switching element of its associated switching stage.
It was stated above that each switching element is considered to be in on state when there is an output L at its output terminal 12a (on-output-terminal), whereas an output L at its output terminal 12b (off-output-terminal) denotes the corresponding off state. Based on this convention, it should be noted that because the and gates 2a, 2b each have one of their two gating terminals connected to one output (e.g., the on output) of the preceding switching element and another of their gating terminals connected to the opposite ouput (e.g., the off output) of the succeeding switching element, both and gates 2a, 2b are closed when these two adjacent switching elements are in the same switching state, thus preventing the shift register pulse from effecting switching of the next following stage. This is, in fact, the desired result because no switching is to occur in any stage which is already in the same switching state as its immediately preceding stage at the time of occurrence of a shift register pulse. In any other case, i.e., when one stage is in the on state and the following stage is in the off state, or vice versa, one of the two and gates 2a, 2b has signals applied to its two gating terminals which permit the passage of the next occuring shift register pulse. Thus, the next occurring shift register pulse can switch the flip-flop of the following stage, thereby establishing the state of the preceding stage had prior to the time of occurrence of the shift register pulse.
The first stage 1a of the entire shift register will be described more fully below, but it also contains a flip-flop 11a similar to those described above and its terminals have been designated correspondingly The entire network or chain of flip-flop stages operates in accordance with the principle that the switching element of any stage can only be switched (turned on or off) if the flip-flop or switching element of the preceding stage is in the opposite switching state from the switching element in the stage to be switched.
Consider, for example, the following situation:
1 1! 1// 11a 11 ll (O, (LO) 2a of stage 1'; and 2b of stage 1". At the same time, the gating terminals of and gate 2b of stage 1' and of and gate 2a of stage 1" are all at 0 state, thus being closed to the next shift register pulse appearing on line 3.
The shift register pulse now appearing finds and gates 2aof stage 1 and 2b of stage 1" open. By virtue of the definition given above, flip-flop 11 of stage 1' and flip-flop 1" of stage 1' are both switched to now assume the states (0, L) and (L, 0) respectively.
After completion of such switching action, it appears that both flip-flops 11a and 11 are at the (O, L) state, both thus having assumed similar states. Accordingly, the gating terminals of the two and gates 2a and 2b of stage 1', being connected to the output terminals of the flip-flops of stages 1a and 1', are at opposite states so that neither and gate can pass the next occuring shift register pulse. This situation will not change until stage 1a has been switched again as will be described below.
However, and gate 2a of stage 1" is prepared to pass a shift register pulse, having both its gating input terminals connected to 012a of l and 12b of 1') in the L state, and the next shift register pulse indeed switches this stage.
It will readily be understood that the shift register pulse shifts the on state from stage to stage, which is the flip-flop state (L, 0), whereas normally each flipfiop is at the ofl? state (0, L).
Now, the first stage 1a and its control network and operation shall be described in greater detail.
There is provided a master and gate 4 having a total of n+2 input terminals. Each of n+2 of these input terminals is connected to a respective output terminal 12b of the flip-flops in the n+1 stages 1a, 1', 1", 1" via lines 8. The last input terminal is connected to shift register pulse delivery line 3 via a line 7.
It will be apparent that for the opening of the and gate 4 (output L) it is required that all of the flip-flops 11a, 11', 11 in the (O, L) state. That is to say, and gate 4 is gated open only if all the switching elements are turned off, or, in other words, if the register has been shifted through all stages and is now empty.
In FIG. 1, there is additionally shown a selector switching device 14 which individually connects any of the gating terminals of and gate 4 to a source simulating a gating signal L. This source may simply comprise a DC. voltage source applying a potential to any gating terminal, which potential is equal to that appearing at any flip-flop output 12b when it is in its L state. The purpose thereof is to permit an output pulse to be produced by gate 4 on line 5 even of all stages have not reverted to their off state.
The output terminal of and gate 4 connects to one input terminal of or gate 20 in stage 1a via the line 5. Thus, upon arrival of a shift register pulse at a time when and gate 4 is gated open by all of the switching elements, flip-flop 11a of stage 1a will be switched from (O, L) to (L, O) and will thus be turned on. This switching operation readies the and gate 2b of switching element 11' in stage 1, since now the stage preceding stage 1 has assumed the opposite state which is a prerequisite for a shifting of the register.
Switching of the first stage 1a in the register from the off state (0, L) to the energized, or on, state (L, O) is possible only when all of the succeeding stages are in the normal, or off, state. Thus, if for one reason or another, disturbance pulses have appeared placing any stage into its energized, or on, state (L, O), the shift register cannot start a new cycle. Complete emptying of the register is the general prerequisite imposed by the circuit of the present invention for the starting of a new shifting cycle.
In course of the operation, care has to be taken to ensure that, after the start of a new cycle, the stage 1a,
fication of the network shown in FIG. 1.
i.e., its associated flip-flop, will reverse to its normal state. This is important since the last stage 1 is coupled to the first stage 1a only in the same manner as the other stages are, namely through and gate 4. Thus, one can not consider the network to be analogous to a ring counter in all respects. Without the provision of resetting measures for stage In, only a pulse flank, or edge, would be shifted.
In stage 1a there is now provided a logic and gate 2d having is output terminal connected to input terminal 13 of the flip-flop 11a of stage 1a; and gate 2d has two input terminals, one being a gating terminal connected to output terminal 12a of the stage 1a and the other being connected to shift register pulse delivery line 3.
Accordingly, when switching stage 1a is in its on state (L, O), the next shift register pulse finds gate 2d open to switch flip-flop 11a back to its off state (0, L).
In order to refine the network, it might be advisable to consider the following: When the register has been shifted so that the stage 1 is in its on state (L, 0), stages 1 and 1 are in their off state (0, L); stage 1*+ can shift into its (L, 0) state only if stage 1 has not already reversed to (O, L). Thus provisions may be made to prevent any stage from shifting from one state to the other before its following stage has had the opportunity to switch and to thereby assume the state the preceding stage previously had. This result can be attained by inserting delay elements, such as R-C elements at the output terminals of the switching stages.
In many cases the rise time of the output pulses of the switching stages is fast enough to render delay elements unnecessary. This is true especially when the shift register pulses are differentiated before switching, the switching stages utilizing the spike wave form of the shift pulses thus obtained. This kind of pulse wave form for a shift register is especially advantageous when using switching stages having one input terminal as shown and responding to positive pulses by assuming the on state and to negative pulses by assuming the off state, or vice versa. The well known Schmitt-trigger, if designed to have a sufliciently large hysteresis loop and if biased to rest within the limits of this hysteresis loop, is to be cited as an example of such bistable switching stages. The leading edge then, e.g., controls the on state and the trailing edge controls the off state in case of originally positive shift register pulses.
Turning briefly to FIG. 4, there is illustrated a modi- In particular, one coincidence network of the type denoted with refer ence numeral 20 is substituted for the networks 2a, 2b and 2c between any two succeeding stages 1 and 1 with x being 1, 2, or n-1.
The network 20 has three iput terminals 21, 22 and 23 connected as follows: terminal 21 is connected to output terminal 12a of the preceding switching element, here denoted 11 terminal 22 is connected to output terminal 12a of switching element 11 of the stage to which network 20 belong; and terminal 23 is connected to shift pulse delivery line 3.
The network 20 itself is known and comprises four diodes 31, 32, 33, 34 having a common terminal 25 to which is connected terminal 23 via a differentiating capacitor 26. The polarity of the diode connections is shown in the drawing. Chokes 35, 36, 37 and 38 are connected to prevent A.C. pulse feedback into the switching elements through terminals 22 and 21, and to decouple the terminals 23 and 25 from the terminals 21 and 22 for AC. pulse transmission. Chokes 35 and 36 in particular are intended to provide for sufficient load impedance. A capacitor 27 is connected between terminal 24 and the junction of chokes 35, 37 and of diode 33, while a capacitor 28 is connected between terminal 24 and the junction of chokes 36, 38 and of diode 32.
Any clock pulse (L) of short duration, but of a single I polarity, applied to terminal 23 appears at terminal 25 as an A.C. wave having two half cycles of opposite polarity. In case the potentials at terminals 21 and 22 are equal, no change in potential appears at terminal 24. In case there is a potenital difference of either polarity, which will act as a bias voltage, between terminals 21 and 22, one or the other half cycle produced at terminal 25 by the clock pulse passes as a trigger pulse to terminal 13. That one of the two half cycles which passes depends on the polarity of the bias voltage. A potential difference between terminals 21 and 22 will be present when elements 11 and 11 are in opposite states, i.e., (11 11 )=(on, ofi) or (off, on). When they are both on or both off, no potential difference exists between terminals 21 and 22. Network 20 is thus gated open for a shift pulse whenever elements 11 and 11 are in respective opposite states, and network 20 is closed when they are in similar states.
In case the situation'prior to a shift pulse is (11 11 )=(on, off), then the shift pulse acts to turn flipflop 11 on. The polarity should be selected so that this is done by the first one of the two half cycles at terminal 25 while, as a consequence stage 11 will be turned off, through its controlling network 20, by the corresponding second half wave in that network. This relation ensures that flip-flop 11 will be turned on slightly before flip-flop 11 is turned off.
A circuit according to the present invention can also be constructed in the form shown in FIG. 2. The switching elements used herein each have two input terminals 13a and 13b, each input terminal of a switching element controlling a respective one of the two switching states. A control pulse (L) at terminal 13a turns the switching element on whereas a control pulse (L) at terminal 13b turns the switching element off. Flip-flop type switching elements having two input terminals and operating as described are well known. In particular, it is important that such switching elements be arranged so that, after the element has been turned on, further on pulses remain ineffective until the element has been turned off. Thus, if a switching element has been turned on by a pulse at terminal 13a further pulses at that terminal 13a remain ineffective until a turning-off pulse has appeared at terminal 13b, and vice versa. In this case, complete comparison between the switching state of two neighboring stages is unnecessary, because a switching stage which is in its off state may receive another turning off pulse without changing its state. The same holds true for the on state.
Therefore, one can omit the connection to the and gate from the output terminals of the following switching element. Consequently, the shift register wired as shown in FIG. 2 has and gates 2a and 2b, each having one gating input terminal and one shift pulse input terminal only, the gating input terminals being connected to the two output terminals of the preceding switching stage, respectively. The switching elements each have two input terminals 13a and 13b, as stated. The first terminal controlling the on state is conectcd to the output terminal of and gate 2a, and the second terminal controlling the off state is connected to the output terminal of and gate 2b. Or gates 20 of FIG. 1 are omitted because the presence of two separate input terminals serves to automatically prevent interaction between the and gates. All of the remaining elements and terminals are identical with those shown in FIG. 1 and v are consequently referenced by identical numerals.
It should be noted specifically that the output terminal of master and gate 4 is directly connected to on input terminal 13a of element 11a whereas the output terminal of and gate 2d connects directly to off input terminal 13b of element 11a.
The device shown in FIGURE 2 operates as follows:
Either one of the and gates 2a and 2b of any stage is prepared for passing the next following shift pulse occurring at its shift pulse input terminal only if the respectively connected output terminal of the preceding stage assumes its L-state. Now, two cases are to be regarded concerning the switching state of any pair of adjacent stages: (1) either the two stages are in the same switching state and the shift pulse occurring at the input of the second stage is ineffective; or (2.) the two stages are in the opposite switching states and the shift pulse occurs at that input of the second stage which controls the then existing switching state of the preceding stage, thus switching the second stage into the desired state.
With the register shown in FIG. 2 provisions may be made, in analogy to those described in connection with the register shown in FIG. 1, to prevent any stage from being switched into the opposite state before its following stage has had an opportunity to switch. This can be done by having the turning off, i.e. the reversion from (L, O) to (O, L), controlled by the trailing edge of any shift register pulse, whereas the turning on, i.e., the shifting from (O, L) to (L, O), is carried out by the leading edge of any shift register pulse.
Since the turning off of a flip-flop, i.e., the switching action (L, O) to (O, L), is effectuated by an L-pulse at a 13a terminal and since the corresponding turning on, i.e., the switching action (0, L) to (L, O), is effectuated by an L-pulse at the 13b terminal, the above requirements can be fulfilled by incorporating directional differentiating stages either at gates 2a, 212' or at terminals 13a and 13b, which differentiating stages are arranged to produce an L-pulse in response to respective opposite polarity differentiation spikes.
This measure also ensures that, in case a stage has been switched from the (O, L) state to the (L, state, the succeeding stage, if it is thereby placed in condition to be switched, cannot be switched by the same shift register pulse if, as suggested, the (O, L) to (L, 0) shift of any switching element is effectuated by the leading edge of the shift register pulse. The succeeding stage, if now in condition to be switched, can only be switched from (O, L) to (L, O) by the leading edge of the next following shift register pulse.
It is apparent that, with such measure, the trailing edge of a shift register pulse cannot turn off again the flip-flop 11*) which was turned on by the leading edge of the same pulse. For turning off, the and gate 2a of this flip-flop must be gated open by the off state of the preceding stage (1 However, when a flip-flop (11 has just been turned on by the leading edge of a shift register pulse, its immediately preceding fiipflop (1 1 must already be in its on state and can only be turned off by the trailing edge. Thus, the flip flop (1 1*), which has just been turned on, can be turned off only after the preceding flip-flop (DI has reverted into its off state, which is effectuated by the trailing edge of the shift register pulse in question. This trailing edge, of course, cannot then also turn off the flip-flop ((11") which has just been turned on.
Having described the wiring diagrams of two preferred embodiments, it shall now be considered why the invention in general, and either one of the two embodiments described in particular, does not require a resetting device for clearing the register after it has been turned on. Whenever the entire shift register has been disconnected from its power supply source, a reconnection thereto places the flip-flops 11a to 11 into arbitrary on and off states. In general, and gate 4 will produce output 0. When, upon such turning on of the register network, stage la assumes its on state, the and gate 2d is open to permit flip-flop 11a to be switched off. Flipflop I la now remains off until the succeeding shift register pulses have swept all of the arbitrary on states toward the last stage 11. Thus, after n+1 shift register pulses at the latest, the shift register is placed into its zero state, as evidenced 'by L-states at all of the gating 8 terminals of and gate 4. The succeeding shift register pulse can then start the first operating cycle.
In normal operation, the stages 1a, l1, 1", 1, have initial state patterns of (O, L), (O, L), (O, L), (O, L), respectively. Since such a condition causes gate 4 to be open, the next shift register pulse produce-s the Pattern The next following pulse produces the pattern (0, L),
The n+1 pulse finally produces (O, L), (O, L), (O, L), (L, O), which state produces a main output signal on line 6 from terminal 12a of flip-flop 11. The (n+2) pulse empties the register completely, thereby preparing gate 4 to initiate the next cycle.
The network exhibits increased responsiveness. For simplifying the network it is possible to omit the connection between one input terminal of gate 4 and the output terminal 12b of flip-flop 11a of stage Ila. This is so because the first stage In can be switched into its on state (L, O) by a shift register pulse only if it is in fact off. When stage 1a is on, it will be turned off by a shift register pulse applied to and gate 2d. A new turning on of stage 101 can occur only after it had reverted to its (0, L) state. It is immaterial whether the first stage is placed into its on state (L, O) by a proper shift register pulse or by a disturbance. In any event, this first stage has to revert to its normal state (0, L) as the result of the application of a shift register pulse before any further cycle can be started and it will do so without a connection 8 to and gate 4.
In FIGURE 3 there is shown a particularly advantageous form for the coincidence or and gate 4. The gating input terminals are designated with numerals 8 and reference numeral 7 denotes the terminal line connecting the and gate to the shift register pulse delivery line 3 for gating through or blocking passage of shift register pulses. Each line 8 governs the potential at the anode of a diode 9, and an L-state in any line 8 is assumed to render the associated diode 9 conductive.
In order to prevent stage feedback, the diodes are conductively separated by capacitors 10. Only when all diodes 9 are conductive can the shift register pulse in line 7 pass on to output line 5 of and gate 4. As was stated above, this situation is present only when the shift register is completely empty, or when one or more of the switches 14 are closed.
The inventive measure for correcting errors is available also when several pulses run through the shift register simultaneously and with a particular phase separation as measured in relation to a complete shifting cycle. This is the ultimate purpose of switching device 14. Thus, one can easily provide for the concurrent actuation of several switching operations controlled by the shift register. For such case, one only has to render the diode 9 of a particular stage conductive, thus simultating the off state of such stage even though it is actually on. This enables the register to start a new shifting cycle and to pass a pulse through the register to follow the preceding one which has not yet completed its passage through the register.
