Abstract: 943, 562. Printing from colour negatives. ILFORD Ltd. Aug. 30, 1962 [Sept. 5, 1961], No. 31880/61. Headings G2A and G2C. In making colour prints by exposing print material to a plurality of coloured lights through a colour negative requiring a different duration of exposure to each colour each light source generates at least two but is filtered to provide only one of the required colours. When sufficient exposure to the least required colour is attained the filter on the appropriate light source is replaced by one giving a colour still required. Similar replacement of filters is effected successively as sufficient exposure to each colour is attained. Suitable apparatus comprises three sources of white light each fitted with selectively interposable filters for each primary colour and a light integration box. In the drawing 1, 2 and 3 are white light sources, 4, 5 and 6 are plates carrying filters for each primary colour A, B and C (shown in the position for the initial exposure), 7 is the integration box and 8 a capping shutter. The system may be controlled electronically e.g. photo-cells sensitive to each colour may actuate an electronic circuit to effect the various filter change when the required exposure to the appropriate colour is attained.

Title: Lithium metaphosphate
Inventor: RAITT JOHN STEWART
IPC: C01B25/445
Filed: 1963-08-14
Abstract: Granules comprising lithium metaphosphate are prepared by applying an aqueous solution or slurry containing lithium and phosphate ions, of formula H2(PnO3n+-1), where n is < 8, to inert particles which may be lithium metaphosphate and which are circulated in a rotating reaction zone at 350-550 DEG  C. At this temperature layers of lithium metaphosphate build up on the original particles; the temperature and the rate of circulation is maintained so that the particles retain their discrete identities.  The atomic ratio of lithium to phosphorus in the solution is between 0.9 : 1 and 1.1 : 1.  The solution or slurry may contain additional ions which are volatile under the reaction conditions (e.g. ammonium, carbonate or chloride). The solution or slurry may also contain less than 10% by weight of ions which are non-volatile under reaction conditions.  The slurry may be prepared by adding a lithium compound to a phosphate compound (e.g. H3PO4).  The ratio by weight of the rate of circulation and the rate of addition of lithium and phosphate ions may be at least 20 : 1.  A suitable apparatus for carrying out the process is described in Specification 950,775. Lithium metaphosphate consisting of superimposed layers of crystals and in which substantially each granule has a size > 0.5 mm. is claimed per se.

Title: Memory Accessing System

Filed: 1967-07-13
Abstract: 1,196,327. Data processor. R.C.A. CORPORATION. 13 July, 1967 [1 Aug., 1966], No. 32322/67. Heading G4A. A data processor includes a random access memory 10 storing a plurality of words, a memory address register 12, a memory data register 14 and a comparator 22, the words having an address portion comprising a first field for the normal rest address and a second field for an alternate rest address, wherein means are provided to supply the first field to a first part of the address register, and on an output from the comparator on detecting a specific condition in the processor means are enabled to transfer the second field to the first part of the address register. A word read from the memory is held in the data register 14 and comprises instruction fields, a normal next address field N, an alternate next address field A, a test field T and an E field. The 53-bit word read is determined by the 12-bit address in register 12. If no comparison is required and the E field specifies no alteration the six-bit address N passes AND gate 32, normally enabled by the false output from the comparator, and OR gate 34 to the six least significant pulses of register 12. Thus any of a block of 64 addresses may be chosen. If an address is outside this block a signal from the E field is decoded to alter a predetermined bit in the upper six places of register 12 to allow a different block of 64 to be chosen. If a comparison is required as indicated by the T field and is true, the alternate address A passes AND gate 42, enabled by the comparator, to be entered in the six least significant positions of register 12. If a new twelve-bit address is required as indicated by the E field, decoder 50 enables AND gates 43, 44 to enter the normal address N and the alternate address A in the six least and six most significant places of register 12 respectively. In this case a comparison cannot be carried out as an alternative address is not available. The decoders are described as producing an output on one of 2<SP>n</SP> lines for an n bit input.

Title: Improvements in vacuum brake apparatus for railway and like vehicles
IPC: B60T13/36
Filed: 1919-12-24
Abstract: 160,913. Luard, E. S. Dec. 24,1919. Fluid - pressure; force - transmitting mechanism. - In n brakes for railway and like vehicles, the blocks are initially applied to the wheels by a primary brake cylinder and the consequent drag of the blocks is used to lock the piston of the primary cylinder in the applied position and to bring into action the main cylinder the piston of which thus acts with practically no stroke. The application to an automatic vacuum system is shown. The main brake cylinder 2 has the usual connections with the brake blocks 6, 6<a> except that the link 67 is pivoted on the piston rod 14 of the primary cylinder 12, which is provided with a vacuum reservoir 12<a> and a spring 16 for returning the piston 13. This piston carries a rack 18 with which engages a pawl 20 normally held disengaged by a spring 27 acting on the stem 20<a> of the pawl. A member 22 is pivoted at 25 to the pawl and at 30 to a link 31 connected at 32 to an arm 33 on a rock shaft 34 which has another arm 37 connected by a link 39 to the brake block 6a. The member 22 is adapted to fulcrum on the upper part of the casing 21 to effect the engagement of the pawl. Limited vertical movement is permitted to the brake block 6<a> with respect to the brake beam 42<a> by means of a vertical slot in the block. The beam 42a is suspended by hangers 46 from the vehicle underframe. A spring 47 holds the block 6<a> in proper position in relation to the wheel. The link 31 is also connected to the T-shaped lever 58 of a valve 53 which may be of the kind described in Specification 21945/09 but adapted to connect the main cylinder 2 with the train pipe 4. A by-pass connection provided with a non-return valve enables the cylinder 2 to be exhausted when the valve 53 is closed. In applying the brakes, air admitted to the train-pipe passes immediately to the outer side of the piston 13 of the primary cylinder 12 by the pipe 60 but is prevented from entering the main cylinder 2 by the non-return valve above referred to and the valve 53. When the brake blocks have thus been applied by the primary piston 13 the block 6a is moved by the wheel in one direction or the other and through the connections 31, 37 rocks the member 22 to engage the pawl 20 with the rack 18, thereby locking the piston and connections in the applied position. The link 31 also opens the valve 53 to render the main cylinder 2 operative. The locking of the piston 13 permits the pivot 66 of the link 67 to serve as a fulcrum for the application of pressure to the mechanism by the cylinder 2. The link 31 may be operated directly from the brake beam 42<a>. The invention mav be applied to compressed air brakes. The oscillation of the main cylinder on its trunnions renders possible the initial application of the blocks at the ends of the vehicle not shown by the primary piston 13 through the connections 11, 7.
