Data recording system

Claim 1

A SYSTEM FOR RECORDING ON A FRAME OF A PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM, SYMBOLS REPRESENTING DATA FROM A PLURALITY OF SOURCES OF ANALOG INFORMATION COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF ANALOGTO DIGITAL CONVERTERS EACH ADAPTED TO HAVE ITS INPUT COUPLED TO A DIFFERENT SOURCE OF ANALOG SIGNALS, A COUNTING CHAIN HAVING A PLURALITY OF STAGES, A CATHODE RAY TUBE HAVING AN ELECTRON BEAM AND A FLUORESCENT SCREEN, THE LIGHT FROM SAID FLUORESCENT SCREEN FALLING IN A GIVEN AREA, MEANS COUPLED TO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL STAGES OF SAID COUNTING CHAIN AND TO SAID TUBE FOR DIRECTING SAID BEAM TO CYCLICALLY SCAN SAID SCREEN IN A RASTER PATTERN, MEANS INCLUDING A FIRST DIODE MATRIX COUPLED TO SAID CONVERTERS AND TO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL STAGES OF SAID COUNTING CHAIN TO SCAN ALL OF SAID CONVERTERS IN SYNCHRONISM WITH THE SCANNING OF SAID SCREEN TO PRODUCE OUTPUT SIGNALS THEREFROM, MEANS INCLUDING A SECOND DIODE MATRIX COUPLED TO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL STAGES OF SAID COUNTING CHAIN AND TO SAID CONVERTERS FOR CYCLICALLY SCANNING THE OUTPUTS OF SAID CONVERTERS SO AS TO SELECT EACH OF THE OUTPUTS OF SAID CONVERTERS PRODUCED BY SAID FIRST MATRIX IN SYNCHRONISM WITH A DIFFERENT ONE OF THE POSITIONS OF THE BEAM ON THE SCREEN, MEANS, NORMALLY BLOCKED, FOR COUPLING THE OUTPUTS FROM SAID SECOND MATRIX TO SAID CATHODE RAY TUBE TO CONTROL THE TURNING ON OF THE BEAM, A CAMERA INCLUDING MEANS FOR MOVING SAID FRAME INTO THE AREA IN WHICH THE LIGHT FROM SAID FLUORESCENT SCREEN FALLS, MEANS COUPLED TO SAID CAMERA AND RESPONSIVE TO OPERATION OF THE CAMERA SHUTTER PRODUCING A START SIGNAL, MEANS RESPONSIVE TO A START SIGNAL FOR INTRODUCING AN UNBLOCKING SIGNAL, COUNTING MEANS COUPLED TO SAID COUNTING CHAIN FOR COUNTING A PERIOD AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE TIME REQUIRED FOR ONE CYCLE OF SCANNING OF SAID CATHODE RAY TUBE SCREEN AND TERMINATING SAID UNBLOCKING SIGNAL AT THE END OF SAID PERIOD, AND MEANS FOR APPLYING SAID UNBLOCKING SIGNAL TO SAID NORMALLY BLOCKED MEANS TO CAUSE THE OUTPUTS FROM SAID SECOND MATRIX TO CONTROL THE TURNING ON OF THE BEAM.

Claim 2

A SYSTEM FOR RECORDING ON A FRAME OF A PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM, SYMBOLS REPRESENTING DATA FROM A PLURALITY OF SOURCES OF ANALOG INFORMATION COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF ANALOGTO DIGITAL CONVERTERS EACH ADAPTED TO HAVE ITS INPUT COUPLED TO A DIFFERENT SOURCE OF ANALOG SIGNALS, A COUNTING CHAIN HAVING A PLURALITY OF STAGES, A CATHODE RAY TUBE HAVING AN ELECTRON BEAM AND A FLUORESCENT SCREEN, THE LIGHT FROM SAID FLUORESCENT SCREEN FALLING IN A GIVEN AREA, MEANS COUPLED TO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL STAGES OF SAID COUNTING CHAIN AND TO SAID TUBE FOR DIRECTING SAID BEAM TO CYCLICALLY SCAN SAID SCREEN IN A RASTER PATTERN, MEANS INCLUDING A FIRST DIODE MATRIX COUPLED TO SAID CONVERTERS AND TO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL STAGES OF SAID COUNTING CHAIN TO SCAN ALL OF SAID CONVERTERS IN SYNCHRONISM WITH THE SCANNING OF SAID SCREEN TO PRODUCE OUTPUT SIGNALS THEREFROM, MEANS INCLUDING A SECOND DIODE MATRIX COUPLED TO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL STAGES OF SAID COUNTING CHAIN AND TO SAID CONVERTERS FOR CYCLICALLY SCANNING THE OUTPUTS OF SAID CONVERTERS SO AS TO SELECT EACH OF THE OUTPUTS OF SAID CONVERTERS PRODUCED BY SAID FIRST MATRIX IN SYNCHRONISM WITH A DIFFERENT ONE OF THE POSITIONS OF THE BEAM ON THE SCREEN, MEANS, NORMALLY BLOCKED, FOR COUPLING THE OUTPUTS FROM SAID SECOND MATRIX TO SAID CATHODE RAY TUBE TO CONTROL THE TURNING ON OF THE BEAM, A CAMERA INCLUDING MEANS FOR MOVING SAID FRAME INTO THE AREA IN WHICH THE LIGHT FROM SAID FLUORESCENT SCREEN FALLS, MEANS COUPLED TO SAID CAMERA AND RESPONSIVE TO OPERATION OF THE CAMERA SHUTTER PRODUCING A START SIGNAL, MEANS RESPONSIVE TO A START SIGNAL FOR INTRODUCING AN UNBLOCKING SIGNAL, COUNTING MEANS COUPLED TO SAID COUNTING CHAIN FOR COUNTING A PERIOD AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE TIME REQUIRED FOR ONE CYCLE OF SCANNING OF SAID CATHODE RAY TUBE SCREEN AND TERMINATING SAID UNBLOCKING SIGNAL AT THE END OF SAID PERIOD, AND MEANS FOR APPLYING SAID UNBLOCKING SIGNAL TO SAID NORMALLY BLOCKED MEANS TO CAUSE THE OUTPUTS FROM SAID SECOND MATRIX TO CONTROL THE TURNING ON OF THE BEAM.
