Title: Improvements relating to converters for amplitude analysers or pulse height analysers
IPC: G01D1/00
Filed: 1967-10-18
Abstract: 1,208,306. Measuring voltages. DAIMLERBENZ A.G. and FRAUNHOFER-GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FÍRDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN PORSCHUNG E.V. Oct.18, 1967 [Oct. 18, 1966], No.47502/67. Heading G1U. [Also in Division H3] A signal converter for use with an amplitude analyzer or pulse height analyzer comprises two parallel circuits, each comprising a series connected capacitor and diode 2, 3 or 2a, 3a, there being a switch 8 or 8a in parallel with each diode, and a series connected threshold element 5 or 5a and mono-stable element 6 or 6a, the output of each mono-stable element controlling the switch in the other circuit to periodically close the switch and bring the junction of the associated capacitor and diode to earth potential. The output of the converter is a signal representing successive peak to peak values of an input signal, the mean values of successive peak to peak values, the time spacing of successive peak values or the time spacing of peak values which fall within a given amplitude range. In the Fig. 1 arrangement, an input signal, Fig. 2a, is fed to a pre-amplifier 1, and depending on whether the input signal is increasing or decreasing at a given time, one or other of the capacitors 2, 2a feeds a voltage through an amplifier 4 or 4a to a common addition amplifier 7 which gives the output shown in Fig. 2b, the maxima and minima of which respectively represent the minima/maxima and maxima/minima voltage differences of the input signal. In Fig.4, the outputs of amplifiers 4, 4a are inverted and halved in value in amplifier 12 and added to the input signal in amplifier 13, the composite signal being sampled at the times of the peaks in the outputs of amplifiers 4, 4a to give the arithmetic mean values of the voltage differences between successive maxima and minima in the input signal. In a modification, Fig. 6 (not shown) which is a combination of Figs. 1 and 4, only those peak values are selected from the output of amplifier 7 for which the mean values as measured by the Fig.4 circuit fall within a predetermined range. In another modification, Fig. 7 (not shown) two sawtooth generators (22, 23) controlled by the mono-stable elements 6, 6a, produce signals representing the time spacing between successive maxima and minima of the input signal. In a modification of Fig. 7, Fig. 9 (not shown), the sawtooth generators are also controlled by two Schmitt triggers (29, 29a) supplied with the input signal, so that the outputs of the generators represent the time spacing between peak values, of the input signal, which fall within a predetermined range, as set by the Schmitt triggers (29, 29a).

Abstract: 1,155,143. Making electrodes ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA A.B. 25 Oct., 1966 [26 Oct., 1965], No. 47817/66. Headings B3A and B3V. [Also in Division H1] A fuel-cell electrode comprises a plate of porous electrode material surrounded by a body of solid material, the plate and body being secured together by shrink-fitting. The plate may be of nickel and silver catalyst if it is a cathode, or nickel and nickel boride catalyst if it is an anode, the material being sintered at 300-900‹ C. Precious metal may be used instead of nickel, and nickel, steel or plastics may be used for the surrounding body, which may be heated to 300-900‹ C. for shrink fitting. A layer of polymeric material may be placed at the joint between the plate and body to form a seal. In an example, Fig. 1, the porous electrode plate 14 in the solid surround 15 may be circular, square or polygonal. Electrodes bent during shrink fitting may be used if the bent sections are parallel. The supply of electrolyte or gases may be effected radially through tubes passing through the frame 15 to which current conductors may be attached by welding or soldering. Several circular electrode plates (16), Fig. 2 (not shown), may be used in one frame (17), the assembly being applied with double polarity if required. In a further form, Fig. 3, a central porous plate 18 is surrounded by arcuate outer porous plates 19 in a frame 20, 21. The arcuate plates 19 may be replaced by an annular plate and the central plate omitted, leaving space for electrolyte &c. tubes. The assembly may include a non-porous central plate 22, Fig. 4, attached to a cylindrical wall 23 and having on each side porous electrode plates 24, 25. The central plate may be omitted, Fig. 5 (not shown), and the casing may be in the form of a double cone.

Heading B3D. A method of making girdles on precious stones comprises bringing two stones into rotation and working them against each other with the peripheral edges of their tables, the axes of rotation crossing each other. In a machine for carrying out the method in which both a stone and a polishing disc rotate with their axes crossing at right angles, the polishing disc is replaced by a pair of dops for holding a second stone. With the stones rotating, the edges of the tables of the stones are brought into engagement so that girdles are formed on the stones. When one of the stones is reduced to its correct size as determined by a stroboscope, it is removed and replaced with a further stone until the second stone is reduced to its correct size and replaced, the operation continuing to form the girdle on the further stone, and so on. The axes of the stones may be held axially stationary to form hollow profiles on the girdles, or be reciprocated to form straight profiles.

An automatic valve for alternately connecting a pump 2 to a pressure accumulator, via a line 4, and a reservoir 1, via a line 5, is characterized in that the ball 11 controlling flow to the reservoir is biased to the closed position by a spring 9 and a disc-shaped armature 19 attracted by a permanent or electromagnet 22, the arrangement being such that when the pressure in chamber 17 reaches a predetermined value and moves ball 11 away from its seat 13, the force exerted by the biasing means decreases and consequently the valve opens quickly. When the valve 11, 13 opens the valve 10, 12 closes under the action of spring 8 and the pressure in line 4 to isolate the accumulator. When the pressure in the accumulator falls, ball 10 is moved away from seat 12 by the spring 9 acting on it via tappet 21. Each ball is arranged to present a larger area to the pressure fluid within chamber 17 as soon as it is cracked open to assist rapid opening, and throttling grooves 14, 15 are provided to prevent reverse flow.
