Abstract: 1,204,882. Automatic voltage control. JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd. Jan.26,1968 [Feb.6,1967], No.5566/67. Heading G3R. A voltage regulator for the battery-charging generator 11 of a road vehicle includes a transistor 29 connected in series with the generator field winding 31, the transistor 29 being controlled, over a transistor 27, by a further transistor 25 associated with a voltage sensing circuit connected across the terminals of the battery 15 and comprising resistors 21, 22, 24 and a Zener diode 23. Such a regulator of the general type shown in Fig.1 operates in known manner and normally includes a thermistor or the like to provide compensation for temperature variations; but in the present instance, to ensure that regulation varies with temperature in a predetermined desired manner, the resistance value of resistor is especially chosen and matched to the characteristics of the transistor 25 to achieve the desired effect. Thus the usual thermistor is not required and the Specification gives suitable values for various components of the circuit. The actual nature of the variation of regulated voltage with temperature can take a variety of forms, and a modification giving twostage characteristic is described with reference to Fig.2 (not shown).

Abstract: 764,788. Fluid pressure brakes. GOOD. YEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO. Feb. 25,1955 [Aug. 24, 1954], No. 5672/55. Class 103 (1). The circuit for an anti-skin brake control system, particularly for aircraft, comprises a generator 8, driven by the wheel, which energizes a circuit including a condenser 9, so that when the wheel is either accelerating or decelerating, a coil 10 in a relay 11 is energized to close switch 12 with either leads 13 or 14. Lead 13 is connected to the coil 15 of a relay 16 which, when energized, closes contact 17 to also energize coil 18 of the brake cylinder pressure release solenoid 20, so that when the wheel is accelerating no braking may occur. When the generator is decelerating, closure of contact 12 with lead 14 energizes a coil 24 of relay 25 to operate switch 33 of relay 29 having a slow release control circuit so that the coil 18 of relay 20 is again energized, but for a fixed period, to reduce the brake cylinder pressure. A centrifugal switch 22 and a control switch 23, positioned on the aircraft landing gear strut, prevent application of the brakes, if the wheel is not rotating at above a certain minimum speed, or if no load is on the landing strut. A motor timer 35 operates to put the system out of action by operating switch 6 to bring a warning lamp 7 into operation, if the relays 16, 20 or 25 are energized for longer than a certain period.

Filed: 1964-02-12
Abstract: A method of cleaning oxidic surface contaminations from metalic articles e.g. sheet iron comprises treating the articles with an alkali metal melt containing alkali metal hydride.  Na melt enriched with NaH is sprayed by nozzles 29 on to an endless metal band 14 passed in series through the vertical tubes 7, 8, 9 in which an oxygen free atmosphere is maintained, extending between upper vessels 45, and lower liquid containing vessels 1, 2, 3.  Reduced scale is removed and the band cooled by water sprayed on to the band through nozzles 32.  The melt is prepared by circulating heated hydrogen through a vessel 20, 21, or 22 filled with liquid Na from vessel 16 in which it is melted, until the required hydride concentration is attained.  The melt is then ejected and sprayed by pressure of a gas inert to the melt from a gas producer 27.  Alternatively hydride can be introduced into the melt by spraying the melt and hydrgen together in mixing nozzles e.g. Venturi nozzle Na is recovered after treatment in the electrolyser 31.  The method may include electrostatically charging the spray and the band, applying a wetting agent to the band in vessel 1 before spraying and light acid scouring in vessel 3.
