Fluid logic anti-coincidence device by cancellation

Claim 1

A FLUID LOGIC ANTI-COINCIDENCE DEVICE WHEREIN TWO PULSE TRAINS ARE COMPARED, AND WHEREIN COINCIDENT PULSES CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT, SAID DEVICE COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION, A PAIR OF PARALLEL FLUID SYSTEMS EACH COMPRISING A POWERED FLIP-FLOP INPUT UNIT AND A PASSIVE "AND" GATE OUTPUT UNIT, AND A FLUID PULSE TRAIN SOURCE FOR THE INPUT UNIT OF EACH OF SAID SYSTEMS WHEREBY ONE PULSE TRAIN IS PROVIDED FOR ONE OF SAID SYSTEMS AND ANOTHER PULSE TRAIN IS PROVIDED FOR THE OTHER OF SAID SYSTEMS, AND A COMMON FLUID SYSTEM OPERATIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH BOTH SAID PARALLEL SYSTEMS AND COMPRISING A PASSIVE "AND" GATE INPUT UNIT AND A POWERED FLIP-FLOP OUTPUT UNIT, SAID DEVICE HAVING TIME RELATED DELAY MEANS IN SAID PARALLEL AND COMMON SYSTEMS, EACH OF SAID PAIR OF PARALLEL FLUID SYSTEMS COMPRISING IN SAID POWERED FLIP-FLOW INPUT UNIT, A FLUID POWER FLOW INPUT, A BRANCHING VENT OUTPUT AND A BRANCHING OPERATING OUTPUT FROM SAID FLIP-FLOP INPUT UNIT, A PULSE TRAIN CONTROL INPUT TO SAID FLIP-FLOP INPUT UNIT AS SAID PULSE TRAIN SOURCE THEREFOR, A FEEDBACK FROM SAID OPERATING OUTPUT AS A CONTROL FOR SAID FLIP-FLOP INPUT UNIT, DELAY MEANS IN SAID FEEDBACK, AND A SIGNAL TAKE-OFF PASSAGE FROM SAID FEEDBACK UPSTREAM OF SAID DELAY MEANS, A SIGNAL PASSAGE FROM SAID OPERATING OUTPUT TO SAID PASSIVE "AND" GATE OUTPUT UNIT, AND DELAY MEANS IN SAID SIGNAL PASSAGE DOWNSTREAM OF SAID FEEDBACK, AND, SAID PASSIVE "AND" GATE OUTPUT UNIT COMPRISING SAID SIGNAL PASSAGE AS ONE CONTROL INPUT, ANOTHER CONTROL INPUT TO SAID "AND" GATE UNIT, A DIRECT OUTPUT FOR EACH OF SAID CONTROL INPUTS IN THE ABSENCE OF THE OTHER, AND AN INTERMEDIATE OUTPUT FOR THE INTERACTION OF BOTH SAID CONTROL INPUTS, SAID COMMON SYSTEM COMPRISING, IN SAID PASSIVE "AND" GATE INPUT THEREFOR, TWO CONTROL INPUTS, ONE FROM SAID SIGNAL TAKE-OFF PASSAGE FROM ONE OF SAID PARALLEL FLUID SYSTEMS AND THE OTHER FROM THE LIKE PASSAGE OF THE OTHER OF SAID PARALLEL FLUID SYSTEMS, A DIRECT OUTPUT FOR EACH OF SAID CONTROL INPUTS IN THE ABSENCE OF THE OTHER, AND AN INTERMEDIATE OUTPUT FOR THE INTERACTION OF BOTH SAID CONTROL INPUTS, AND, SAID COMMON SYSTEM POWERED FLIP-FLOP OUTPUT UNIT COMPRISING, A FLUID POWER FLOW SOURCE, A BRANCHING VENT OUTPUT, A BRANCHING OPERATING OUTPUT, A CONTROL INPUT FROM SAID INTERMEDIATE OUTPUT OF SAID COMMON SYSTEM "AND" GATE, A CONTROL PASSAGE FROM SAID OPERATING OUTPUT TO BOTH OF SAID OTHER CONTROL INPUTS TO SAID PASSIVE "AND" GATES OF SAID PARALLEL SYSTEMS, A CONTROL FEEDBACK FROM THE SIGNAL OF SAID OPERATING OUTPUT TO SAID COMMON SYSTEM FLIP-FLOP UNIT, AND DELAY MEANS IN SAID CONTROL FEEDBACK WITHOUT APPLYING SAID DELAY TO SAID CONTROL PASSAGE, SAID TIME RELATION OF SAID DELAY MEANS BEING AS FOLLOWS: SHORTEST TIME DELAY, THE OPEN SYSTEMS FROM SAID PULSE TRAIN INPUTS THROUGH SAID COMMON SYSTEM TO THE "AND" GATE OUTPUTS OF SAID PARALLEL SYSTEMS; THE NEXT LONGEST DELAY, THE SYSTEMS FROM SAID PULSE TRAIN INPUTS DIRECTLY TO THE "AND" GATE OUTPUTS OF SAID PARALLEL SYSTEMS; THE NEXT LONGEST DELAY, THE FEEDBACK SYSTEMS OF THE FLIP-FLOP UNITS OF SAID PARALLEL SYSTEMS; AND THE LONGEST DELAY, THE FEEDBACK SYSTEM OF THE FLIP-FLOP OUTPUT UNIT OF SAID COMMON SYSTEM.
