Title: Electric sockets
IPC: H01R13/703
Filed: 1973-12-08
Abstract: 1498003 Two part coupling J A CRABTREE & CO Ltd 20 Jan 1975 [8 Dec 1973] 57004/73 Heading H2E A switched socket comprises a live input terminal 32 and a neutral contact 15. A plug pin inserted into contact 15 cooperates with the cammed projection of switch operating member 22 and forces it, against spring urging, away from the contact. This allows biased switch arm 34 to connect with contact 38, the primary side of a transformer, and thus contacts 13 and 17, connected at different points to the secondary winding are made live. A two pin plug inserted into either 13 and 15, or 17 and 15 produces voltages suitable for an electric razor. In other embodiments the switch arm may be biased away from contact 38, or neutrally biased, and the operating member force it into or out of contact (Figs. 4 and 6, not shown).

Patent GB-1402936-A (GB)
Title: Nuclear reactor fuel element assemblies
IPC: G21C3/324
Filed: 1972-12-14
Abstract: 1402936 Fuel elements UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY 13 Dec 1973 [14 Dec 1972] 57814/72 Addition to 1283604 Heading G6C A nuclear fuel assembly comprises a bundle of fuel pins having wire wrap spacing means and enclosed in a peripheral casing through which liquid coolant can be passed over the surfaces of the fuel pins, the casing having a flexible lining which co-operates with the casing to define an interspace for containing a jacket of pressurized gas, the lining being inwardly flexible by the pressureized gas to embrace the bundle of fuel pins. The spacing means for the fuel pins may comprise helical wire wrapping of square cross-section. In one embodiment, the easing 1 has a lining 3 sealed at its upper end to the casing but open at its lower end. The lining 3 comprises a flexible membrane longitudinally corrugated over its upper half generally complementary to the contour of the bundle of fuel pins 2. Its lower half is without corrugations and is overlaid by an inverted skirt 4 sealed to the casing 1 adjacent the free end of the lining 3. The skirt 4 is corrugated generally complementarily to the countour of the bundle of fuel pins 2. In use in a reactor core, the free end of the lining 3 is screened by the skirt 4 from the direct upward flow of coolant through the casing 1. However, the passage bounded by the plane surface of the lining 3 and the corrugations of the skirt 4 serves to conduct coolant to inside the lining 3 to compress argon gas between the corrugations of the lining 3 and the casing 1, but providing pressure relief when the reactor is at full power thereby reducing the compressive force exerted on the bundle.

Coloured insulating sleeves 16 are applied to the conductors 12 and an epoxy casting resin 17 is put into the mould formed by sleeve 1. An earthing conductor may be attached to the metal sheath 14 by soldering, brazing, or with a metal ring having radially extending folds which are crimped after the ring is applied over the sheath and earthing conductor. In another embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown) the sealing compound is held within a metal pot (30) within the sleeve 1 the pot being sealed by a cap (32) to which the earthing conductor (28) is attached. The end of the pot is swaged on to the rim of the cap and the end of the sleeve is swaged on to the rim of the pot.

Title: Crystal filter networks
IPC: H03H9/54
Filed: 1978-08-16
Abstract: A process for the manufacture and adjustment of a narrow-band bridge connected crystal filter is described. The crystal filter is connected in series with a capacitor in one branch of the bridge and the series connection is shunted by a parallel arrangement of a fixed and a variable capacitor. The input of the filter includes a tunable transformer with a centre-tapped secondary one end of which is connected to the crystal-containing bridge branch. The band width of the transformer is much greater than the design band width of the filter. In assembly, first the series resonant frequency of the crystal is measured and then the value of the capacitor to be connected in series therewith is calculated and selected on the basis of the measurement before connecting it in the circuit. The parallel connected variable capacitor is then used to adjust the poles of the filter and the transformer is tuned to adjust the attenuation. <IMAGE>

Title: Tape transport apparatus
IPC: G11B5/09
Filed: 1978-12-11
Abstract: Apparatus and method for controlling a reel-to-reel tape drive so that its performance characteristics are optimized to best suit the operational mode or availability of a host system by modifying tape speed adaptively according to predetermined conditions sensed during processing of data (i.e., while the tape is in motion). For example, tape might initially be fed at a high speed suitable for archiving; but if more than a predetermined number of "backhitches" (overruns of the interblock gap, IBG) occur during processing of a preselected number of successive blocks of data, the host will cause tape speed automatically to be reduced to a lower rate. This lower rate will enable the tape to stop in the IBG and is therefore suitable for intermittent processing. Preferably, before reducing speed during write operations, appropriate signals are generated at the host to command an increase in the IBG from a normal distance to a larger distance if backhitches exceed said preselected number. If this fails to reduce backhitches to an acceptable level, speed will be reduced to the lower rate and the gap preferably restored to its normal distance.
