Title: Improvements in demagnetization
IPC: H01F13/00
Filed: 1940-04-04
Abstract: 544,639. Electromagnets magnetic tests. MAGNETIC ANALYSIS CORPORATION. April 4, 1940, No. 6115. Convention date, April 7, 1939. [Class 35] [Also in Group XXXVI] A magnetic body is de-magnitized by subjecting it simultaneously to a relatively intense alternating de-magnetizing field and a unidirectional field equal in intensity but opposite in sign to the local, e.g. terrestrial, fields acting to magnetize the body. The process, which is suitable for use in magnetic tests for cracks, flaws &c., is described in connection with a bar 1 which is passed longitudinally through co-axial A.C. and D.C. coils 4, 7 and then through a detector coil 3 which is connected to a micro-ammeter 16 or the like. The A.C. coil is connected to the mains 5 in parallel with a circuit comprising a variable tap auto-transformer 14, a full wave rectifier 13, a smoothing group 9, 12 and a reversing switch 8 supplying the D.C. de-magnetizing coil 7. The testpiece may also pass through a massive metal ring 15 which prevents flux from the coils 4, 7 from influencing the detector circuit but this ring may be omitted if the de-magnetizing and detector coils are not near each other. In use the test bar is moved slowly through the coils, the coil 7 not being energized during the first pass so that the indications of the detector may show the degree, if any, of de-magnetization required and the direction in which the switch 8 is to be thrown. Thereafter, the switch 6 is closed and the taps at 14 are adjusted in a manner described in the Specification so that the test bar emerges from the coils 4, 7 de-magnetized. The process is also applicable to non-rod-like bodies, e.g., rings, billets or plates and if it is desirable to leave them stationary during the treatment the demagnetizing currents are gradually reduced by means of the resistance or reactance 6A.

Title: Controlling data communication to data receiving devices
IPC: H04L5/00
Filed: 1975-02-17
Abstract: 1492211 Data transmission; master and slave ENGINEERED SYSTEMS Inc 17 Feb 1975 6536/75 Heading H4P In an arrangement in which to a master station (4), Fig. 1 (not shown), one only of a plurality of slave stations (1-3) may transmit by shunting a high potential line (5) to a low potential line (6), the other stations are inhibited from attempting to transmit by comparing in each other station the line potential with that pertaining to its own transmitting condition. If there is inequality this indicates another station is not transmitting hence a waiting message may be sent. The shunt is placed across lines 5, 6 by a transistor 9 controlled through AND gate 17 by a data source 15 either directly or through a buffer store 16. Flip-flop 20 is set by a high potential condition on line 5 starting a time delay 19, e.g. monostable multivibrator which through latch flip-flop 18 enables AND 17. Low potential on line 5 resets flip-flop 20 through inverter 21 hence AND 17 is disabled. However two more stations may be fortuitously enabled simultaneously, hence an inverter 23 primes an AND gate 22 hence data from 15 will reset latch 18, disabling AND gate 17. This condition of instability will persist until one station exerts dominance thus preventing other stations from transmitting. Priority may be imposed by adjustment of time delay periods or on a selective basis, so any terminal having completed a transmission will have to wait a longer than normal period before being allowed subsequent access to the line. This may be done by a monitor 24 which if latch 18 remains set for a sufficient period to indicate that the terminal has acquired the line, monitor 24 extends the time constant of delay circuit 19 for example by switching in different value components. Spaces are normally signalled by shunting lines 5, 6 but a mark condition may be alternatively signified. In Fig. 1 line potential is detected at (7), bias potential being placed on high line 5 by a source (V,) through a resistor (8).
