    摘要: A timepiece, with a clockwork driven by a stepping motor, has a clockwork-supporting structure with front and rear uprights, generally of hourglass shape, each constituted by a pair of mirror-symmetrical coplanar strips defining its contour, the front upright being framed by an annular dial swept by the minute and hour hands; the gears of the clockwork are visible from all sides. The supporting structure with the dial is mounted on a platform carried by two columns above a base which contains the motor, its power supply and a tone generator controlled by the clockwork to emit acoustic time signals on the hour and possibly also on the half and quarter hours; a torsion pendulum without time-keeping function is suspended between the columns. Most of the shafts of the clockwork lie in a vertical plane of symmetry also containing the axis of the nested hour, minute and seconds shafts disposed at the center of the dial ring. An ancillary shaft offset from that plane has a pinion in mesh with a gear included in the step-down transmission between the minute and hour shafts so as to rotate in step with the minute hand at one revolution per hour; this ancillary shaft carries a resetting knob and two cam disks, one of them controlling a switch for the periodic actuation of the tone generator while the other causes a resynchronization of that tone generator every 12 hours. The resetting knob is provided with a one-way coupling to prevent reverse rotation of the control cams; the seconds shaft carries an impeller for the torsion pendulum.

    摘要: In an electronic data processing system a system and method for providing an audible sound and a tactile feedback for a user. In one embodiment the data processing system includes a manually operable input device, a control circuit responsive to a first electrical signal indicative of the operation of the input device for generating a control signal and a sound generating device responsive to the control signal for being excited into mechanical motion to generate an audible sound and provide a tactile feedback for the user. In another embodiment, the data processing system includes a timekeeping circuit for providing a plurality of time-related functions and a control circuit which is responsive to a second electrical signal generated periodically at selected time intervals by the timekeeping circuit for activating the sound generating device to provide an audible sound periodically at the selected time intervals, such as, for example, at one second intervals, during the operation of the system.

    摘要: An electronic watch having a time counter circuit for developing a count representative of present time, a second time counter circuit for developing a count representative of time, and a chronograph counter circuit for developing a count representative of elapsed time. A predetermined time is stored in a memory circuit and the contents of the second time counter and the memory circuit are compared by a coincidence detecting circuit. When coincidence occurs a sound generating circuit is enabled for developing sound pulses to represent coincidence. A display visually displays time, and a display switching circuit switches between the present time counter, the memory circuit and the chronograph counter for applying the contents of a selected one thereof in order to visually display present time, the predetermined time and a time interval determined by the chronograph counter. A control circuit is effective for controlling the display switching circuit and operating the watch in different modes. The watch further includes an encoder for developing signals encoded in Morse code, and a sound signal generator for developing audio signals encoded in Morse code. A second switching circuit receives the output of the display switching circuit and, in response to control signals, applies the display switching circuit output to the encoder.

    摘要: An electronic clock with a chime system has exclusively electronic processing for production of a variety of tone signal sequences consisting of known melodies or portions thereof and time-identifying sequences of strokes. The characteristic values of these tone signal sequences are loaded into a ROM memory and can be recalled, as required, by electronic control and release circuits at each quarter, half, three quarter or full hour. The amplitude of the audio output signals is automatically controlled in accordance with the time of day.
