Title: Improved means of starting synchronous electric motors
IPC: H02P1/46
Filed: 1933-12-16
Abstract: 429,200. Synchronizing; controlling A.C. motors. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., 28, Kingsway, London, and YOUNG, J. B., 11, Baswich Lane, Weeping Cross, Stafford. Dec. 16, 1933, No. 35415. [Class 38 (iv)] [See also Group XXXVII] A synchronous A.C. machine is started as a motor by first applying thereto a low A.C. voltage which is ahead of the normal running voltage by some predetermined phase difference and then disconnecting the machine from the low voltage source for such a time interval before connection to the normal supply as to allow the machine to become substantially in phase with the latter. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which a synchronous machine is started by connection through switch S2 to the low voltage tappings c, a, b, on three phase auto-transformer. The machine windings 1, 2, 3, are connected for running to the phases A, B and C respectively, the voltages of which lag 120‹ behind the voltages of the tapping points c, a, b to which these windings were previously connected. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement for starting up a synchronous machine under light load by the use of a three phase star connected transformer having two series connected windings wound on different limbs and connected in series between each terminal and the neutral point. The low starting voltage is obtained from tappings a, band c on the set of windings adjacent the neutral point, and the running voltage from the terminals A, B and C, while the phase angle between these voltages is varied by varying the ratio of the number of turns of the two series connected windings connected to each terminal. The value of the starting voltage may be varied by varying the positions of the tapping points. According to the Provisional Specification a leading voltage for starting may be produced by the use of an open delta connection on the tapped secondary of the main transformer.

Title: Improvements relating to fluid pressure engines for operating railway or other vehicle doors or for similar purposes
IPC: E05F15/02
Filed: 1932-12-19
Abstract: 411,559. Door - operating engines. PETERS & CO., Ltd., G. D., and ARTHURTON, R. I. D., Windsor Works, Slough, Buckinghamshire. Dec. 19, 1932, No. 35986. [Class 65 (i).] In a fluid-pressure engine of the differential piston type, for operating vehicle doors or similar purposes, the pipe which supplies fluid under pressure to the larger pressure area of the piston arrangement also supplies a reservoir through a non-return valve so long as the pressure in the reservoir is less than the supply pressure, and the arrangement is such that when the engine is being driven in one direction by pressure fluid acting on the larger piston area the air displaced by the smaller piston area is compressed into the reservoir to provide a supply of fluid at relatively high pressure which acts on the smaller piston area to produce the return stroke of the engine when the larger piston area is placed to exhaust. The reservoir may be connected with the smaller piston area through a non-return valve, a separate small port being provided for the passage of air into the reservoir when compressed by the smaller piston area. The engine may have two pistons of different sizes, or a single trunk piston, the smaller pressure area in the latter case being constituted either by the end of the trunk or by the annulus between trunk and cylinder. The reservoir may be entirely separate from the cylinder, or may be formed by a continuation of the smaller cylinder separated therefrom by a diaphragm; it may also be formed integral with the cylinder as an annulus or jacket around the cylinder. Where a trunk piston is used the reservoir may be provided in the trunk. The doors are preferably driven through a sector gear engaging a rack on the rod connecting two pistons or, in the case of a trunk piston with the annulus forming the smaller piston area, on an extension of the trunk. The Figure shows an engine of the type having two pistons 14, 13 connected by a rack rod 24 engaging a sector gear 28 on a door shaft 30, with the reservoir 12 surrounding the cylinder. The air inlet pipe to the large end of the cylinder is connected through a non-return valve 10 with the reservoir 12, and the reservoir is connected with the small end of the cylinder through a non-return valve 11 and a small inlet passage 20.

Title: Improvements in or relating to binary signal decoding arrangements
Inventor: STEVENS ARTHUR DEXTER
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 1965-08-23
Abstract: 1,089,959. Selective signalling. MARCONI CO. Ltd. March 29, 1966 [Aug. 23, 1965] No. 36130/65. Heading G4H. Each incoming 1-bit of a binarycoded serial pulse train samples the exponentially decaying potential on a capacitor C1 and applies a pulse of a corresponding amplitude to a storage capacitor C3 whereby the final potential of the storage capacitor corresponds to the number represented by the incoming pulse train. The input pulse train is preceded by a sync bit, bit 8, which unblocks a diode MR2 and allows capacitor C1 to charge to 3 V. (junction of R1 and R2). The potential of C1 then decays by onehalf through R5 during each subsequent bitperiod. Incoming 1-bits cut-off a transistor VT4, thereby unblocking a diode MR3 and applying a pulse, via a capacitor C2 and diode MR4, to the storage capacitor C3. The potential across the diode MR4 is brought to zero before each 1-bit arrives by a shunting transistor VT3. At the end of a cycle the storage capacitor C3 is discharged by a transistor VT5.

Patent GB-1085380-A (GB)
Title: Textured yarn and method and apparatus for producing such yarn
IPC: D02G1/00
Filed: 1965-08-17
Abstract: A yarn, which has a substantially helical configuration with each turn of the helix having at least one sharp bend therein so that if the yarn is sufficiently tensioned it becomes of zig-zag shape, is produced by winding the yarn on a mandrel having one or two sharp edges, the succeeding turns of yarn pushing the preceding turns along the mandrel into a heating zone in which the yarn is set.  On the upstream end of the mandrel there is rotatably mounted a turbine assembly having an eccentric yarn passage through which the yarn passes to be wound onto the mandrel.  The heating zone may be constituted by a steam chamber having an electric element to superheat the steam, or by radiant gas or electric heaters.  The coiled yarn is cooled at ambient temperature or in a refrigeration chamber.  A single end of yarn may be textured or a plurality of ends may be textured together with optionally the ends being partly or entirely separated afterwards.  The textured yarns may be fed directly to a loom or knitting machine, or wound on a cone, or deposited in a can.  The can may be of rectangular cross-section and reciprocated longitudinally at uniform speed with the downstream portion of the mandrel being at an angle to the rest of the mandrel and downwardly directed so that a cam may oscillate the end of the mandrel.  Alternatively the can may be circular with optionally a central tube and rotated by a turbine with again a cam oscillating the end of the mandrel.  The cams which are designed to give even packing may be rotated at constant speed or the yarn turns as they pass along the mandrel may rotate the cams at a constant peripheral speed.  If the yarn is being wound - for example if four ends are being textured and then passed to four cones to be separately wound - the yarn as it leaves the mandrel may either form a free-hanging loop arranged between two photo-cells or be passed upwards into a vertical tube having two photo-cells, the photo-cells in each case varying the speed of the winding motor in dependence on the amount of yarn in the loop or tube.
