Title: Improvements in and relating to systems of radio communication
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 1919-05-09
Abstract: 149,409. British Thomson - Houston Co., (General Electric Co.). May 9, 1919. Systems for alternating-current motors only.- Relates to a device for controlling the torque of an alternating current driving motor by varying the current supply as the load on the motor is changed. The current supplied to the motor 9 is varied by varying the magnetic saturation of cores carrying windings 12 and hence varying the impedance of the windings, which are in series with the supply conductors 10. The current for saturating the cores is obtained from a direct current generator 18. The approximate adjustment of the torque of the motor 9 is obtained by means of a resistance 19 included in the circuit which supplies current from the generator 18 to the coils 13. As the load on the motor is increased, the current supplied by the generator 18 to the saturation coils 13 is automatically increased, the impedance of the windings 12 is decreased, and hence the current supplied to the motor increases to correspond to the change in load on the motor. Specification 103,842 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to internal-combustion oil engines
IPC: F02B19/06
Filed: 1937-04-24
Abstract: 494,272. Oil engines ; fuel-injection pumps. HONN, H. V. April 24, 1937, No. 11821. [Class 7 (iii)] [Also in Group XXVIII] In an oil engine having an auxiliary cylinder in which liquid fuel and air are ignited by the heat of compression, part of the air charge compressed in the working cylinder is used to convey the liquid fuel to the auxiliary cylinder. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, an auxiliary piston 21 is raised rapidly by a cam, towards the end of the compression stroke in the working cylinder 10, to compress a charge of fuel and air in the auxiliary cylinder 20. The charge ignites by the heat of compression, and is injected, into an air charge in the working cylinder, past a spring-pressed valve 30 and through a passage 17. The valve 30 operates in a split cage 27 and is exposed to the pressure in the working cylinder. The seating surface 32 of the valve is provided with two annular rings 35, 36 separated by a recess 34. The piston 21 remains at the top of its stroke until near the end of the next compression stroke, when it descends rapidly and uncovers a port 49 to permit the pressure in the working cylinder to open a valve 50 ; part of the charge in the working cylinder then passes through passages 17, 46 and withdraws a metered quantity of fuel from a recess 55 in which it has been deposited by a pump. In modified constructions (a) the valve 55 is omitted and the fuel deposited in a recess around a Venturi tube in the passage 17, and (b) only sufficient fuel for idling is deposited in the recess, the main fuel charge being injected into the working cylinder. Pumps.-A cam 71 on a rotating plate 70 actuates a spring-pressed piston 62, inserted in a sleeve 61 in a block 59, to deliver fuel, fed through an inlet 102, past a spring-pressed outlet valve 67. The plate is carried by a srew-threaded sleeve 76 which can be raised or lowered by a sleeve 77 by a rack 79 and pinion 80.

Class 20(2) Angle bars, channels &c. having three or more longitudinal lines of holes for connecting bolts, have the holes of one or more flanges arranged so that two bars can be connected by four bolts arranged in a square, Fig. 2, and the holes of one or more lines are arranged in groups including one or more slots, the length of a group being not less than that of the side of a square. Fig. 1 shows a developed plan of an L-section bar in which the flange 1 is twice the width of the flange 2 which has a line of groups of holes, each group comprising two slots 7 and a round hole 6. Transverse slot 8" may be arranged between the groups. Flange 1 has two lines of slots 3, 4, slots 3 being staggered relatively to slots 4 and an intermediate line of alternate round holes 8 and transverse slots 8<SP>1</SP>. The slots 3, 4 are arranged at a quarter of the distance across the flange. The pitch of the slots is the same as the flange width and the length of the slots is half this width plus the width of the slot or larger. The length of the slots 3, 4 and the overall length of the groups of holes 6, 7 is the same. In a modification (Fig. 3, not shown) the flange 2 is three-quarters the width of the flange 1 and has in addition to the line of groups of holes, a line of slots similar to the slots 3, 4. A further modification comprises one flange similar to the flange 2 (Fig. 5, not shown) the other flange being similar to the flange 2, Fig. 1. A flange may have two lines of longitudinal groups of holes. A group may consist of a slot between two round holes, two or three slots, a round hole and a slot, or three round holes, according to the Provisional Specification. The slots 3, 4 and groups of holes may be used in place of one another. Specifications 620,696, 763,056, 763,057, 763,111 and 763,140 are referred to.
