Abstract: 1317986 Offshore structures COMPAGNIE INDUSTRIELLE DE TRAVAUX COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE DES PETROLES and INSTITUT FRANCAIS DU PETROLE DES CARBURANTS ET LUBRIFIANTS 24 July 1970 [30 July 1969] 36031/70 Heading E1H A caisson for storing a liquid hydrocarbon rests on the sea bed, extends above the surface 15 and comprises a reservoir 1 and a well 2 interconnected by conduits 10, 11. Initially a valve 17 is opened to flood the reservoir while valves 12 and 13 are closed. The hydrocarbon 18 then enters the reservoir and the well through a pipe 3 and the valve 13 while water 19 is expelled through the valve 17, which is closed when the hydrocarbon-water interface reaches the associated conduit 14. The hydrocarbon is discharged by a pump 5 through a two-way valve 7 and a conduit 9, the valves 12, 13 being open and the valve 17 closed. When the free-surface of the hydrocarbon reaches the conduit 11 the valve 12 is shut and sea, or fresh, water enters the reservoir through a conduit 16 so that the hydrocarbon continues to flow through the conduit 11 into the well. After the hydrocarbon has been fully discharged the valve 12 is re-opened to allow the pump to remove the now contaminated water through a conduit 8 while a fresh quantity of hydrocarbon enters through the pipe 3. A space 20 may be provided between the reservoir and an outer wall of the caisson to minimize the risk of leakage of the hydrocarbon into the ambient water. Said space may be filled with water, sand or a sand and water mixture, and accommodates the well 2. In another embodiment, Fig. 6, separate wells 2a, 2b and pumps 5a, 5b are provided for the hydrocarbon and the water. The reservoir may have a floating roof (not shown).

Abstract: 1278373 Logic and switching circuits NORTH AMERICAN ROCKWELL CORP 24 July 1970 [12 Dec 1969] 36099/70 Heading H3T In Fig. 1, NAND gates 2, 5 respond to an input at 3 when a clock pulse # 1  occurs, the output being held by a regenerative feedback loop 12 and gate 9 (e.g. OR gate) until the next clock pulse. When NAND gate 2 has both inputs high, input 6 to NAND gate 5 is low and so output 7 is high. The invertor 11 gives a low input to OR gate 9 therefore, so that when # 1  ends, the output of OR gate 9 goes low and output is maintained high. If input 3 goes low then NAND gate 2 output is high, and when # 1  again goes high to make OR gate output high then NAND gate 5 output low and the regenerative circuit 5, 11, 9 sets to the opposite state. The gates use F.E.T.s (Fig. 2, not shown); a series pair (21, 22) form gate 2, and another series pair (34, 38) from gate 5, the OR function being introduced by a F.E.T. (39) in parallel with F.E.T. (38). The invertor is another F.E.T. (49) and each gate 2, 5 and the invertor has a respective load F.E.T. (30, 45, 55).

Material leaking at the surface 216, cures to prevent further leakage. Collar 214 and a screw projection 206 on which it is mounted, are recessed at 210 from the upstream face of the die plate to provide a region in which material leaking past the sealing surface may accumulate, and into which lubricant for the sealing surface 220 may be admitted through the downstream face of the die plate, from a passage through a shaft 64 on which rotates a shaft 82 carrying the cutter blades. The collar 214 may be of steel, with an annular bronze bearing portion at the surface 220, or may be moulded of phenolic resin and replaceable for each extrusion run. The outer surface 222 of the collar 214 define, with an inner surrounding surface 26 of the die, an extrusion passage which tapers in the extrusion direction to the inner and outer boundaries of the holes 40, which may comprise a single, or a plurality e.g. three, annular arrays. The shaft 64 is arranged to apply, via a washer 66, a load to a central area of the die plate 30 to maintain it flat against extrusion pressure. The shaft 82 carrying the blades 104 rotates around the shaft 64 about an axis which is eccentric to that of the screw 20 and of the annular array of holes 40, so that the cutting edges 106 of the blades intersects the material from different holes at different positions to minimise uneven wear along the blades. A pair of diametrically opposed knife blades 106 is provided, and the cutting edges are spring urged into cutting contact with the downstream face of the die plate 30. The shaft 82 is provided with passages (not shown) for pressure air at atmospheric temperature to be directed towards and to cool the cutting edges 106 of the blades.

Title: Method and Device for Monitoring the Run of a Silver on Flyer Spinning Frames.
IPC: D01H13/16
Filed: 1967-08-08
Abstract: 1,181,524. Stop motions. LUWA A.G. 8 Aug., 1967 [9 Aug., 1966; 21 Feb., 1967], No. 36400/67. Headings DID and D1F. In a flyer frame wherein the yarn or sliver is sensed between the drawing rollers and flyer and a signal generated (e.g. to operate a stop motion or warning device) on sliver breakage, fault in the vicinity of the flyer head (e.g. the build up of sliver about the top of the flyer or the flailing of a snarl) are also detected and corresponding fault signals generated irrespective of the fact that the sliver is still running. As shown a senser 40 is pivoted at 44 above a flyer head 14 and weighted so as to tend to rotate in an anticlockwise direction. Sliver 15 normally supports arm 43 of the sensor while on sliver breakage arm 43 falls to raise a permanent magnet 42 and thus close a reed switch 50 so as to stop the machine motor and/or operate a warning system; other types of switch may be used. If, as in Fig. 6 not shown, sliver builds up on top of the flyer, arm 41 is lifted to operate switch 50 although sliver 15 is still intact. In a further form Figs. 1-4 not shown, the centre of gravity of the sensor is above its pivot point and it is arranged to tip in either direction depending on whether the fault is a broken sliver or a sliver build up on the flyer head. The sensor will also be actuated by a flailing snarl on the flyer head. Tipping of the sensor may be arranged to close an electrical circuit or to operate a photo-electric switch. Different circuits may be operated depending on the direction in which the sensor tips.
