Abstract: In a row seating structure a series of telescoping rows are provided, each row having spaced vertical carriage-mounted columns, each having a cantilever arm adapted to rest upon the next adjacent column when the telescoping structure is extended and a transverse rear riser beam connecting the columns in the row and equipped with forwardly extending supporting arms anchored at their rear upon the riser, and a spectator tread or platform supported by the arms, the arms also providing a seat above the forward end of the tread panel or platform.

Abstract: A plurality of temperature sensing probes are positioned within a separating column at specific spaced-apart locations throughout the column for obtaining a temperature measurement related to the column''s compositional behavior and automatically controlling the operation of the column in response to computation of the plural temperature measurement.

Abstract: A MODULAR BUILDING SYSTEM WHICH UTILIZES A PLURALITY OF COLUMN SUPPORTED, PREFORMED BOX-SHAPED MODULAR UNITS, WHICH ARE CAST AS A SINGLE UNIT, ADAPTED FOR INTERCONNECTED ASSEMBLY, AND INCLUDE A FACTORY INSTALLATION OF ALL KITCHENS, BATHROOMS, CLOSETS, INTERIOR PARTITIONS, STAIRS NEEDED FOR THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE ENCLOSED SPACED. THESE MODULAR UNITS ARE STACKED IN A PREDETERMINED MANNER TO FORM A VARIETY OF EFFICIENT, EASILY PLANNED MULTI-LEVEL RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WHICH MAXIMIZE THE ADVANTAGES OF BOTH OVERLAPPED AND STAGGERED MODULAR ASSEMBLY.

Abstract: X-ray diagnostic apparatus, particularly adapted for rectilinear tomography, comprising a column carrying the X-ray source pivoting about a horizontal axis, said column being composed of a lower and an upper parts, the latter one longitudinally displaceable relatively the former one by means of an electric motor controlled by a signal, which is a function of the angle of inclination of the column.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a device for changing the wheels of an aircraft or other vehicle of large mass, consisting of a sloping column and mobile system which slides along this column, moved by any means. The device is characterized by the fact that the base of the column rests on a stand, which may be mobile, and which may be combined with means of distributing the load, and by the fact that the upper part of the column is connected to the stand by a stabilizing system such as a strut attached to the stand, and possibly a lateral triangular support system.

Abstract: This report describes a procedure for the testing of centrally loaded steel columns. A detailed description is presented on the preparation of specimen, initial measurements, alignment, instrumentation, and the testing procedure. Also, a procedure for data analysis and evaluation of the results is presented. The scope of this procedure is applicable to light and heavy columns of rolled shapes as well as built-up shapes. The column speci" mens may have pinned or flat end conditions.

Abstract: An information transmission and recording system wherein a character is arranged in a dot-matrix form and the signals which represent the dots are transmitted column by column of the matrix in serial form to a receiver. The received character signals are applied synchronously to a serial-to-parallel converter, the parallel output thereof being applied to a storage register. The output of the storage register, representing a column of the matrix, is transferred to a line of styli representing a column of the matrix. The styli are transported across a moving recording medium, the character thereby being reproduced column by column. Means are also provided for addressing a selected recording unit among a plurality of such units, full power being applied only to the selected unit after it is properly addressed.

Abstract: This article suggests that the syndicated columns published under the by-lines "Dear Abby" and "Ann Landers" contain useful textual material for intermediate and advanced ESL students. The following characteristics seem valuable: 1) the columns offer sharp insights into implicit American cultural values; 2 they are modeled on the spoken, rather than written language; 3) they stimulate classroom discussion.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for receiving punched documents of predetermined varying widths and lengths, and for readably feeding such variously dimensioned documents through a read station. During this readable feeding of the documents, a column count circuit is triggered in synchronism with the reading of columns of coded information and inhibited through the sensing of the trailing edges of the documents when the last column of coded information has been read. By this means embossed areas that may be present on certain of the documents following the last column of coded information may be fed through the read station without the risk of false reading resulting from spurious signals generated by such embossed areas.

Abstract: Means for indication of column and row positions of microform images in a viewer or reader to assure a rapid accessibility to microform data. In a microform system having a form carrier for placing the data images in position for projection, the carrier being linked to indexing means so that the image being viewed by the user can be identified as to its column and row designation. An indexing roller device containing the column and row designations is rotated by movement of the microform carrier in a fore or aft direction for indication of the row, and movement of the carrier in a left or right direction provides indication of the column in a conveniently placed window.

Abstract: : P-STAT is a system of 285 Fortran IV programs that does statistical operations on files of data. It runs in a region size of 250K bytes on an IBM 360. Files are created, manipulated, saved between runs, retrieved, printed, etc., by P-STAT commands. Many files can be in use during one P-STAT run. A file is referred to by its name throughout a run. It can have thousands of rows and up to 450 columns. Missing data is permitted. Each row and column has an 8 character label. A free format selection and data modification language permits parts of files to be accessed and new variables to be created. Macros of P-STAT operation can be defined and then used repeatedly. The system performs many statistical operations, including factor analysis, regression, correlation, discriminant analysis, cross-tabulation, frequency distribution and analysis of variance.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic measure selection feature for a composing system having a paper tape input and a printer output. The paper tape is the type commonly used in type setting operations and carries news matter in coded form for operating line casting equipment and the like. Lines of news matter are normally based on a full column width or measure but frequently, as in the case of race results, entries, handicaps, and similar matter, require the intermixing of full column and half column lines. A change in the measure used for justifying the lines is usually made manually by an operator who recognizes visual indicia on the tape indicative of a change in measure. The present system effects an automatic change in measure by accumulating fixed width values of characters in the individual lines as they are recognized, comparing the total fixed width value accumulated with previously entered half column and full column measure values and selecting the appropriate measure to be used for each line on an individual basis. The system also provides for a manual standard measure operation, as well as the automatic operation.
