A shift register stage comprises first and second amplifying elements each constituted by first and second metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors connected in series. In each amplifying element, the gate of the first transistor constitutes an inverting signal input, the gate of the second transistor constitutes a non-inverting signal input, a current carrying electrode of the second transistor constitutes a current input and the junction between the transistors constitutes an output. The in...

Integrated circuitry configuration employing coplanar integrated circuit vacuum devices which are fabricated by photo-etching techniques in terms of lines on a flat substrate to form a shift register in which only active thermionic diodes, pentodes and capacitors are employed, and in which cross-overs of leads of the integrated circuitry are totally avoided.

A type element of a single element printer is shifted to print upper or lower case type characters by a crank which is rotatably driven through 180.degree. with each actuation of a shift key to pivot a shifting lever of a mechanism for rotating the type element. The crank is connected to the shifting lever by means of a tape which is drawn around a roller of a pivotal guide arm and secured to a slide member mounted on a pin of the crank which extends through an elongated slot in the guide arm. T...

The invention relates to a shift register which has a first and a second delay circuit. The analogue signal to be delayed is applied to the first delay circuit, and the delayed signal is taken from the second delay circuit. Parallel auxiliary delay circuits are connected between the said two delay circuits. The shift rate of the auxiliary delay circuit is lower than the shift rate of the first and second delay circuits.

A shift mechanism for a transmission of the type used in riding lawn mowers and the like is provided. The shift pattern is essentially of the lineal type and yet the transmission can be shifted from one gear to another without being shifted through all intermediate gears. For example, the transmission can be shifted from the third forward speed to reverse without progressing through the second and first forward speeds. The shift lever is moved lineally in a path transverse to its longitudinal ex...

A ratio shifting means including positive drive means operable during a shifting operation. The ratio shifting means is adapted particularly for automotive use and includes means for bypassing a shift location to provide positive drive means around the ratio gears for effecting a continuous and positive mechanical connection between the input and output of a transmission system during a ratio shifting operation.

A manipulation lever can be manipulated to select a first mode for automatically changing the drive range of an automatic transmission or a second mode for changing the drive range by manually manipulating the manipulation lever. The manipulation lever is shifted between the first mode in which a control lever moves mechanically with the manipulation lever and the second mode in which the control lever does not move with the manipulation lever. A first guide portion guides the manipulation lever...

A shift register includes at least one stage circuit that has at least three voltage control switches, a storage element, and a first clock signal, a second clock signal and a third clock signal to control various switches. Input signals are stored in the capacitor and sequentially transferred to the next stage. During transferring to the next stage, pixel switches of one row on the panel display are activated to receive information delivered from the data end for displaying on the pixels. The c...

A shift register includes bidirectional register units, a direction switching section, a register unit selecting section, and a shift clock supply section. The bidirectional register units are cascaded through first input/output terminals for data shifting and perform data shifting operation. The bidirectional register units have second input/output terminals which separately and directly input/output data. The direction switching section switches the shifting directions of the bidirectional reg...

A transmission shift blocker for a coupling member adapted to connect a pair of power elements of the type having a pair of blocker elements which prevent shifting of the coupling member except when in a particular position relative each other, with this positioning determined by the difference in angular speed of the power elements to be connected and arranged to allow shifting at low relative angular speeds but not at higher relative angular speeds, featuring damping of the relative movement o...
