Filed: 1917-10-23
Abstract: 118,502. Fleming, H., and Ward, F. Oct. 23, 1917. Healds and reeds, threading.-In mechanism for selecting warp ends so that they may be drawn manually or mechanically through the healds and reeds, the selecting-device comprises a cylinder 8 rotating about an axis at right-angles to the warp ends 1 and provided with a rib 9, which has an entrant edge 26 radial with respect to the cylinder and extends helically around it. A tapered boss 25 on the cylinder guides the threads successively against the edge 26. The helical position of the rib may be of varying pitch, and it may have divergent grooves 27, 28, the dividing- ridge being in the form of a knife-edged tongue to split cohering threads asunder. The cylinder is mounted on a spline shaft 11 so as to rotate therewith and be free to slide longitudinally thereon. As the shaft is rotated intermittently through gearing operated from a hand-rail, the cylinder automatically works its way across the row of threads.

Abstract: 708,012. Delay networks. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and BRISCOMB, D. W. June 17, 1952 [June 28, 1951], No. 15425/51. Class 40 (8) A complex delay network includes switching means whereby a different one of a number of artificial delay lines having different characteristics may be connected across a pair of terminals, the network being arranged so that at least one section of the delay lines remains connected across the terminals during operation of the switching means. The switching means comprises the switches 20, 22 which are ganged together so that when the switch 20 is in position A the switch 22 is closed and when it is in position B the switch 22 is open. In position A the inductance 25 is short circuited and a threesection delay line, comprising one section made up of inductance 26 and capacitance 24 together with the two section delay line 9, is connected across the terminals 6, 7. In position B a three section delay line made up of inductances 25, 26 and capacitances 17, 24 together with the twosection delay line 12, is connected across the terminals. During operation of the switch 20 the switch 22 is open and a one-section delay line consisting of the inductances 25, 26 and the capacitance 24 is connected across the terminals. The invention is described as applied to a pulse generator comprising a hydrogen thyratron 1, such as is described in Specification 663,290, [Group XL(a)], connected to a load 8 which may be a pulsed magnetron transmitter. The switching arrangement enables delay lines suitable for different combinations of build-up rate and pulse length to be switched into the circuit.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the manufacture of moulded articles of fibrous material
IPC: D21J3/00
Filed: 1949-06-17
Abstract: 691,528. Moulding articles from fibrous pulp. MULLER, K. June 17, 1949, No. 16170/49. Class 87 (ii). Fibrous pulp is forced by compressed air from container f through pipe d into chamber c, the water passing out through moulding sieve a and the article b being deposited on the inside of the sieve. Compressed air is then admitted from container f to chamber c by opening a valve e' in pipe e and a valve d' in pipe d is closed. The compressed air passes through the moulded article and expels water, thus initiating the drying. This compressed air is at the same pressure as the pulp, and thus sudden changes of pressure (detrimental to the moulded article) are avoided. In a modification (not illustrated) the compressed air is supplied to chamber c not from container f but from a separate compressed air container that is connected directly or indirectly with container f. The container f is supplied with compressed air and pulp through pipes h and g respectively.

Title: Method and apparatus for improving counting statistics in radioactive sampling apparatus

IPC: G01T7/08
Filed: 1968-04-05
Abstract: 1,218,844. Measuring radio-activity. PACKARD INSTRUMENT CO. Inc. April 5, 1968, No. 16373/68. Heading G1A. To avoid the effects of non-symmetry or non- homogeneity of a radio-active sample or of non- symmetry of the sample container, the radioactivity of a sample is measured while the sample is rotated in the measuring zone. Although described with reference to liquid scintillation spectrometry of radio-active samples, using two photo-multipliers and a well-type detection zone, it is stated that a radio-active sample may be rotated between two Geiger counters. The rotation may be in one angular direction or an oscillatory rotational movement, and may be for one revolution or a small or large number of revolutions, at uniform angular velocities. The arrangement particularaly described is that of Specification 1,101,902 which discloses a sample container elevator mechanism and means for centering the sample container on the elevator, this arrangement being modified by the fact that the elevator shaft (69) is made hollow to contain a rotatable shaft (66) which effects continuous rotation of the sample container platform (62) - if required, even during operation of the elevator to introduce or remove a sample. A separate motor is provided for rotation of the shaft (66) together with suitable gearing and ancilliary equipment for continuous rotation, Fig. 8 (not shown), or oscillatory rotation, Figs.9, 10 (not shown).

Abstract: 1360753 Ethylene-carboxylic acid copolymers GULF RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CO 10 April 1972 [22 April 1971] 16375/72 Heading C3P [Also in Division B5] The optical properties of an ethylene-carboxylic acid copolymer containing 10-15 weight per cent of the carboxylic acid are improved by contacting the solid copolymer with a solvent for polyethylene which will preferably not dissolve more than 30% by weight of the copolymer at a temperature of at least 50‹ C. but below the boiling point of the solvent and then separating the solvent containing a dissolved portion of the copolymer from the solid ethylene-carboxylic acid copolymer. The solvent may be xylene, benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene, chlorobenzene and orthodichlorobenzene. In the examples an ethyleneisopropylacrylate copolymer is thermally cracked to produce an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer which is contacted with one of the above solvents. The product may be employed as an inner layer between two glass laminae, as a thermosetting film or as a film on a metallic or non-metallic substrate.

Abstract: 111,113. Mathys, A. W. Nov. 8, 1916, [Convention date]. Gases, washing and moistening; carburetting.- Apparatus for humidifying, cooling, washing or scrubbing air, or for carburetting air or other gases, comprises a series of reciprocating members composed of thin plates spaced apart for the passage of gas which are alternately raised from and lowered into tanks of liquid, a partition with an opening fnr the passage of the gas being arranged above the level of the liquid between each adjacent pair of members so that the gas is caused to pass through the welted sheets. As shown the gas is passed by a fan from a pipe 4, Fig. 1, through a series of chambers formed by partitions 2 with apertures 6, which are preferably staggered as shown to give a zigzag path to the gas. Two pairs of reciprocating members 10 which alternately dip into liquid 7 in the tank 1 are adapted to cleanse, cool, moisten, or carburate the gas by the passage of the gas through the films of liquid which are raised by the metal sheets 11, Figs. 1 and 4, mounted in cages 12 attached to cables 13. The sheets 11 are spaced apart by washers 23, Fig. 4, on bolts 24 which secure the plates to the cage 12, and the cages are guided in their vertical motions by wheels 25 and rails 28. The cables 13 are reciprocated by passing over pulleys 14 on shafts 15 geared to a shaft 33 which is oscillated by a crank-shaft and connecting-rod 18 from a shaft 20 geared to a power shaft 37. The partitions 2 are continued into the liquid 7, and these may be perforated at 9 except the central one which is preferably complete in order that liquids of different nature may be employed in the two pairs of tanks on either side of it. In modifications, only one pair of reciprocating plates are employed and these are carried by chains passing over oscillating sprocket wheels. Or narrow plates 11, Fig. 7, are bolted to frames 44 carried by cables.
