Abstract: A timing circuit for use in pulse code modulation, time division multiplex switching networks is described. The switching networks are a part of a time division multiplex telecommunication system wherein each call uses the same time slot on the incoming and outgoing lines. The timing circuit has a number of word-organized storage locations equal to the number of PCM words per pulse frame and an equal number of address memory locations individually assigned to the aforementioned storage locations. The word-organized storage locations are found by blocks of shift registers connected in series. Each block in the series is connected over the non-operating positions or rest positions of pairs of simultaneously actuated switches to the next succeeding block. In their operating positions the switches connect the shift registers to the conductors of a service trunk system. The address memory locations are formed from a second series-connected shift register group connected to form a ring.

Abstract: The invention is a flow meter comprising a magnetic field-dependent resistor arrangement whose resistances are controlled by a particularly configured control member. More specifically, the position of the control member controls the degree of flux passing from the permanent magnet of the resistor arrangement through the two magnetic field dependent resistors of the arrangement. The resistance values of the resistors thus vary as a function of the position of a control member. According to the invention, the control member comprises a throttle plate having one end clamped elastically to the flow chamber of the meter and the other end within and free to move with the medium flowing in the chamber.In this manner, by varying the pressure head of the flowing medium, the amplitude of motion of the throttle plate, and, hence, the resistance values controlled thereby are varied. A sensitive flow meter having a simple construction is thus realized.
