Title: Improvements in or relating to electromagnetic step-by-step selectors
IPC: H01H67/06
Filed: 1938-07-19
Abstract: 516,208. Automatic exchange switches. ERICSSON TELEPHONES. Ltd., and WILMAN, C. W. July 19, 1938, No. 21376. [Class 40 (iv)] In a single-motion reverse-drive switch, the driving pawl 10, which is mounted so that throughout the working stroke the line of thrust from the pivot 11 to the ratchet wheel lies wholly within the pawl and has an adjustable back stop 48, is carried by a pivoted frame 3 which may be of non-magnetic material and carries a bar-shaped armature 7, the magnetic circuit including a portion between pole pieces 8 of the frame 1 which carries the wiper shaft. The magnet is held to the frame 1 by means of a screw 17 and a member 18 which clamps the halves of the frame 1 together and is mounted to co-operate with an eccentric bush so as to provide by means of a projection 24 an adjustable stop for the armature frame. The wipers are mounted in the usual way on a hub 53, Fig. 8, which is clamped to the ratchet-wheel spindle by means of a screw 55 passing through an indicator ring 54 and acting on a plate 56, the ring and the wipers thus being separately adjustable on the spindlÞ. The frame 1 is adjustably secured to a frame 2 carrying the contact bank by screws 65, 66. The armaturerestoring spring acts through an adjustable stud 37. The interrupter springs are arranged, by providing flexibility between the point of operation and the contacts and by giving a considerable mass to the moving spring near the contacts, e.g., as shown in Fig. 9, to open at a late point in the forward stroke and close at a late point in the backward stroke. The switch is mounted on the rack by means of springs 63. The collecting brushes are normally of the known kind having split ends which engage between conducting rings corresponding to pairs of wipers on the wiper shaft. When the wipers of a pair are insulated from each other, some collecting brushes can be saved, where the circuit permits, by earthing, e.g., the homing wipers to the frame.

Title: De-sizing of cellulose fabrics
IPC: D06L4/23
Filed: 1957-07-05
Abstract: Cellulose fabrics are desized by oxidising the size with an alkali-metal bromite and/or an alkali-metal hypobromite at a pH greater than 9.  Sodium bromite and/or hypobromite are preferably used, the pH value of the solution being adjusted by the addition of caustic soda.  Alkali-metal bromides and bromates may also be present in the solution.  The treatment may be carried out in a jigger-type apparatus for less than one hour with a solution containing no more than 5 grams of active bromine per litre of hypobromite or 2 grams of active bromine per litre of bromite. Alternatively the pressing or fulling process may be used in which the fabric is passed at a very high rate, e.g. 30 to 40 metres per minute, through a bath of the solution and pressed at the outlet of the bath between two presser rollers, the solution containing 10 grams (or less) of active bromine per litre with the hypobromite solution and 5 grams (or less) of active bromine per litre with the bromite.  The desizing may be effected at ordinary temperature as a separate step prior to scouring or it may be effected concurrently with scouring by adding alkali metal bromite to the scouring bath, usually comprising soda and sodium carbonate, so that the bath contains less than 1 gram of active bromine per litre.  Examples describe the desizing of cotton fabrics, there being added to the desizing solutions wetting agents, such as aryl-alkyl sulphonamides and sodium butylricinoleic ester sulphonate.  Specification 843,558 is referred to.

Abstract: 644,058. Protective cut-out arrangements. MINES DOMANIALES DE POTASSE D'ALSACE. Aug. 7, 1947, No. 21654. Convention date, Jan. 3, 1946. [Class 38(v)] A remote-control arrangement for A.C. apparatus, for use for example in mines, comprises a pilot circuit normally carrying a rectified current and formed by an insulated conducting sheath G for the connecting cable and an earth return, comprising a conductor in the cable, or the earth itself. The contactor 2 is closed by moving contact 19 to position a, so that relay coil 14 is energized by a current rectified by 16, so as to close the circuit of coil 5. The contact 19 is then moved to position b and the relay 14 is energized by a reduced current. The contactor 2 is manually opened by moving contact 19 to position c and automatically opened upon voltage failure. It is also opened upon the sheath G becoming earthed, since in this event the rectifier 16 is short-circuited, and the coil 14 is short-circuited by a shunt condenser 15, the pilot circuit itself being opened by a relay 22 fed by a rectifier 21 reversely connected to rectifier 16 and passing the alternations normally stopped by the latter. A visible indicator, such as a lamp or electromagnetic vane or needle, may be inserted in the conductor feeding the condenser 15. The cable may comprise three main conductors and an earth return conductor, with an insulated conducting sheath G, (Fig. 3 not shown).

Title: Regeneration of dynamic monolithic memories
IPC: G11C11/404
Filed: 1974-05-16
Abstract: 1466478 Data store INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 16 May 1974 [29 June 1973] 21724/74 Heading G4C [Also in Division H3] A monolithic data store has an array of dynamic storage cells requiring periodic refreshing, and refresh circuits. Four rows of cells are shown, each cell comprising a transistor, e.g. 101, gated by signals on column word lines WL1, and connected in series with a capacitor CL1 between the substrate SS and the left or right half of a bit line B/L1, B/L2. The bit line halves are connected through a latch L1 and to a bit drive and sense circuit through isolation transistor 10 whose gate is biased at a constant level V L  equal to the nominal up level of the bit line. To read and restore a selected cell a pulse R turns on transistors 12 and 22 in the refresh circuits and transistors 36, 38 in the latch to bring the bit line halves to their nominal "up" level V L  and to charge the gate capacitance of transistors 14, 24. Since transistor 10 has its gate biased at V L  it isolates the bit line from any voltage fluctuations at node A. A word line pulse then occurs to select one of the cells in the row. If the storage capacitor of the selected cell was charged the appropriate bit line half has its voltage raised and conversely if it was not charged its voltage is lowered. The resulting voltages on the bit line halves at the latch causes one of latch transistors to conduct when subsequently an LP pulse grounds the sources of the latch transistors 32, 34 and the right hand bit line half is grounded or maintained close to its nominal potential V L  accordingly. The conventions adopted for binary 1 and binary zero, i.e. charged or uncharged, in the two halves of a row are opposite due to the inversion imposed by the latch. The bit line voltage appearing at isolation transistor 10 is sensed at node A by the sense circuits since transistor 10 will conduct or not depending on the voltage on B/L2. Subsequently a chip select pulse CSX is applied to the refresh circuit in the accessed half of the row and switches transistor 26 on to refresh the data in the accessed cell if the charge V H  stored at the gate capacitance of transistor 24 has not been discharged due to bit line B/L1 being grounded during the read access, transistor 26 remaining off if the bit line was discharged during the read access since the discharged bit line prevents transistor 24 from switching on. A write operation is similar to a read operation except that node A is set at the appropriate potential to charge or otherwise the selected cell prior to the occurrence of the LP pulse.

Abstract: 1375462 Coated article GATES RUBBER CO 10 May 1972 [13 May 1971] 21868/72 Heading B2E [Also in Division H1] An electrode of the compressed powder type is produced by applying an electrolyte-porous coating of electrically conductive carbonaceous material to electrochemically active particles (b) blending the coated particles with an electrically conductive material possessing an arborescent structure (i.e. composed of treelike branches forming a three dimensional interconnecting network of conductive threads or arms) to form an intimate mixture, and applying the mixture to a conductive substrate under elevated pressure. Examples of electrochemically active particles are particles of nickel hydrate, nickel hydroxide, manganese oxides, lead oxides, silver oxides, mercuric oxides, and cadmium and its oxides, and mixtures thereof. The carbonaceous material may be carbon black, graphite, lamp black, acetylene black, carbon graphite, fibrous carbon, and mixtures thereof. The carbonaceous material may be coated onto the particles by hammer mill, jet mill, ball type mill, putty chaser type mixers, or mix mullers. Typical arborescent materials are carbonyl iron powder, carbonyl nickel powder, electrolytic iron, electrolytic nickel, interlacing graphite fibres, tantalum, and tungsten. The electrode mixture may also include anti-polar materials, e.g. in a nickel cathode which is to be used in an alkaline rechargeable cell; a cathodically reduceable anti-polar mass such as cadmium oxide or hydroxide may be used to prevent hydrogen generation in the event of a polarity reversal, such as may occur when the cell is overdischarged. Reinforcing fibre may also be used to increase mechanical strength, reduce spalling and facilitate spiral winding of the electrode, e.g. graphite fibres. The conductive substrate (which may also serve as the current collector) may be a pocket plate, tube, thin sheet or flat grid structure such as woven wire screen, perforated sheet metal, or expanded mesh. The substrate may be made of iron, steel, nickelplated iron or steel, or nickel.
