Title: Improvements in apparatus for regulating the phase compensation of asynchronous electric machines by means of commutator machines connected in cascade with the rotor circuits thereof
IPC: H02K17/38
Filed: 1921-04-08
Abstract: 186,087. Marks, E. C. R., (Siemens- Schuckertwerke Ges.). April 8, 1921. Alternating-current induction machines.--An asynchronous machine is phase-compensated by means of a commutator machine cascaded with its rotor and having a stator compensating winding, the excitation of the commutator machine being supplied to slip-rings at the frequency of the supply to the asynchronous machine or at approximately this frequency. The compensation is regulated in the continuous current circuit of a synchronous exciter or in the transformers in the alternating-current circuits, or by shifting the stator or brushes of the commutator machine. As shown in Fig. 1, -the synchronous exciter h of the commutator machine d is directly mounted on the shaft of the asynchronous machine b under compensation, and the commutator machine d is driven from the main supply a by a motor i, one phase only being shown. The commutator machine takes its excitation through slip-rings g, and its stator e and commutator f are in series with the rings c of the asynchronous-machine. The commutator machine may be directly mounted on the shaft of the main machine and excited from the mains a through a transformer. Fig. 3 shows such an arrangement with the further feature that the stator compensating- windings e of the commutator machine are adjustable by means of a shunting resistance r. This arrangement, with the inclusion of a switch l, enables the commutating machine to be used as an induction motor on the mains a, when the switch l is open, for starting the main motor b or to relieve the main motor b of part of the load by acting partly as an induction motor and partly as a phase-shifter when the switch is closed. The method is applicable to machines, such as singlephase induction machines, having pronounced higher harmonics in their secondary circuits. Such harmonics as may pass through the stator of the commutating machine produce no armature field owing to the effect of the compensating- coils.

Title: Unitary resistor and shunt
IPC: H01C10/08
Filed: 1972-03-07
Abstract: 1370042 Variable resistors HONEYWELL Inc 7 March 1972 [10 March 1971] 10504/72 Heading H1S A method of decreasing the resistance of a resistive film fired on a substrate of, e.g. 96% pure aluminium oxide, without altering the temperature coefficient of resistivity and the stability of the film comprises the step of firing the resistor together with a conductive material that is positioned on an exposed surface portion of the resistor film this portion being spaced from the ends of the resistor film, this second firing being at a temperature lower than that at which the resistor paste was originally fired in forming the film. In one embodiment of the invention the conductive material may be in the form of a polka dot array, but other configurations can be used, e.g. strips or squares of material. The resistor paste is fired at 1000‹ C. on to the insulating substrate and the conductive dots are fired together with resistor terminal conductors, that serve to join the ends of the resistor to terminal stakes, at 550‹ C. The conductive portions and the resistor terminal conductors can be formed from firing a mixture comprising 70% by weight of silver powder, substantially 10% by weight of lead borosilicate glass and the remainder decanol alcohol. Constituents of the resistor paste may be a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity resistor ink comprising 40% by weight of RuO 2 , 20% by weight of Ru and 40% by weight of a glass frit, and a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity resistor ink comprising 40% by weight of Ru, 20% by weight of RuO 2  and 40% by weight of glass frit. The resistor and conductive dots may be protected from the atmosphere, i.e. ambient air, water vapour, water and H 2 S and varying ambient temperature by an encapsulating structure comprising a flexible material, e.g. a flexible silicone polymer applied as a first coating and a second hard outer covering, e.g. glyptal 1201B paint. One application of the resistor is as a distributed shunt slide resistor in which a metallic multiple contact wiper contacts the conductive portions on the resistor film which may be evenly or unevenly distributed. For a uniform distribution of dots in rows and columns the row and column spacing may be 0À02 inch and 0À03 inch respectively. The diameter and height of each conductive dot may be 0À02 inch and 0À00035 inch respectively. The total resistance of the resistor and dots is given by the formula R (with dots) = R (without dots) A-#A/A+#A where A is the area of the resistor, #A is the area of the dots and K is a factor dependent on the dot arrangement.

Title: A gyroscopic apparatus
IPC: G01C19/20
Filed: 1953-04-17
Abstract: 733,678. Gyroscopic apparatus. ANNEN, R. April 17, 1953 [April 17, 1952], No. 10621/53. Class 97 (3). A gyroscopic apparatus comprises a closed casing, a ball-like rotor, a fluid support bearing for the rotor mounted to move with the casing during operation and having two opposite, cuplike spherical support surfaces located on diametrically opposite sides of the rotor which has intercommunicating passages including a pair extending along a diameter connecting with the rotor spin axis and a series extending in a plane at right-angles to said axis. The gyroscopic apparatus shown is for use in an aircraft and comprises a hermetically sealed casing 1 having a graduated transparent cover-plate 4 and containing a member 7, freely rotatable about a shaft 5 on the casing and provided with bearing supports 11, 12 between which is a spherical rotor. This rotor consists of hemispheres 16, 17 between which is clamped a ring- shaped member 15<SP>1</SP> having therein equi-spaced nozzles 40 (Fig. 5) and mounting radially movable balls 39 which maintain the rotor in stable equilibrium with the ring 15<SP>1</SP> vertical when the rotor is not spinning. A flow of air or fluid in a closed circuit is created in the casing by a motor-reciprocated bellows 42, this air flowing via spring valve 48 to a passage 32 and thence through a bore 6 in shaft 5 to passages 33, 35 in member 7. The air in passage 33 flows past'valve pistons 9 up passages 34 to pressure chambers 20, 21 defined by recesses in the bearing supports 11, 12 and then, during normal flying, through openings 22 in the rotor to the nozzles 40 whereby the rotor is spun about the axis of the ring 15<SP>1</SP>. During acrobatic flying, the spin axis of the rotor may take up such a position relatively to the bearing supports 11, 12 that the air is forced in through the nozzles 40 and emerges through the apertures 22. The air in passage 35 passes upwardly as at 36 and thence via passages 371 to chambers 18, 19 defined by peripheral recesses in the bearing supports 11, 12 to provide an air film for supporting the rotor. Slidable on member 7 is a sleeve 10 to which is pivoted a lever 31 having an arm 30 engaged in a recess in a gear 24 carried by a shaft 25 which is axially movable between two positions defined by a spring- loaded detent 28 and rotatable by a knob 23. The sleeve 10 engages pistons 9 and when it is desired to stop the rotor the knob 23 is pushed in so that arm 30 is rotated clockwise and sleeve 10 raised to cause the pistons 9 to prevent the further passage of air to the rotor openings 22. At the same time the gear 24 meshes with a gear 24<SP>1</SP>' on member 7 so that the latter may be rotated to set direction lines on the rotor at an angle indicated by a scale on the cover-plate 4.

The clip comprises two halves held together by a screw 11, and a bar 15 parallel to the rods is held between the halves by the screw 11 and connects adjacent clips so that they move in unison. The hinge enables adjacent sides of the frame to be turned relative to one another through 360 degrees.

Closure of operating switch 218, 219 turns on transistor 223 energizing relay coil 210 and closing contacts 211, 213 to connect motor 214 to the supply and when the operating switch is opened the supply to the multivibrator is maintained via diode 222. The relay remains energized until capacitor 224 is charged via resistors 227, 228 and the multivibrator switches over thus allowing time for the motor to start and change over the contacts of parking switch 315-317 to maintain the supply to the motor. The parking switch de-energizes the motor at the end of one wipe and applies a short circuit to brake it. The cycle is repeated when the multivibrator again switches over after a time varied by resistor 229.
