Title: Pulse type radar system
IPC: G01S13/24
Filed: 1974-03-04
Abstract: 1455157 Radar THOMSON-CSF 4 March 1974 [6 March 1973] 9700/74 Heading H4D To enable a radar to have high resolution by transmitting a signal having a wide bandwidth B and still use cheaper circuits having much narrower bandwidth, the radar transmits a series of n narrow band (B/n) pulses having respective carrier frequencies whereby a target at range x produces echoes having respective relative phase shifts of, The corresponding outputs of a coherent detector give the equivalent of n samples of a sinusoidal signal of frequency f= (#F/Tr)(2x/c), where Tr is the p.r.p of the pulses. A range x has thus been converted to a frequency measurement, such that if the output of the coherent detector is fed to a spectrum analyser, e.g. a Fast Fourier transform analyser, having a frequency resolution #f=(1/nTr), then the equivalent range resolution is given by #f=(#F/Tr) . (2#D/c) = (1/nTr) or #D = (c/2n.#F). Since n.#F is the bandwidth B of the transmitted signals this is equivalent to the standard equation:- #D=(c/2B). In the radar system of Fig. 3, a stable local oscillator 20 provides the input for a frequency generator 24 producing a n outputs, frequencies F + #F to F + n#F. The STALO 20 also controls the sync. generator 22 whereby the output of the generator 24 (F + r#F), as cyclically selected by switch Kl is given a pulse envelope by gate 3. The STALO output is multiplied at 23 to produce the carrier frequency which is added to the pulse at mixer 25 for transmission at 4 via circulator 5 and antenna 6. The cyclic frequency selection action of switch K1 is controlled by unit 34 also controlled by the sync. generator 22. The received echo signal is mixed at 32, 33 with a signal (F + s#F) from switch K2 delayed with respect to switch K1 by K positions where K is the whole number part of (2D/cTr), i.e. is the number of the range block to be investigated at said resolution #D. By various mixing stages, the echo signal is presented to two phase detectors 37, 38 as a signal centred at the frequency of the STALO 20. By detection in phase quadrature with the STALO output, and A/D convertion at 42, 43, digital versions of quadrature components of the desired n samples are produced for frequency analysis in Fast Fourier computer 12. Since the range block is still too wide for complete investigation, it has to be further sub-divided by range gates 40, 41. Exemplified parameters are:- p.r.p 10 Ásec, pulse width=À5 Ásec, frequency resolution of computer 12 = 200H 3 , range resolution = 30 cm. over range of 75 m. determined by range gates 40, 41 within range block of 1À5 Km. starting K. 1À5 Km. away. The time of passage of the signals through the circuit will vary with the frequency and an automatic phase shifting circuit is provided to compensate for this (Fig. 4, not shown).

Title: Composition and means for producing and supplying detergent lather
IPC: B65D83/14
Filed: 1953-04-10
Abstract: <PICT:0748411/III/1> A composition for producing a detergent lather comprises (1) an aqueous solution of a soap and (or) a synthetic detergent and (2) a volatile liquid as defined below, the composition being confined under the vapour-pressure of the volatile liquid in a pressure-tight container having a valve-controlled opening.  When the valve is opened the composition is expelled by the vapour-pressure of the volatile liquid, the evaporation of which causes the soap or synthetic detergent solution to form a lather. Suitable soaps, which may be used in admixture, are the stearates, palmitates, oleates and vegetable-oil soaps, e.g. coconut oil, cottonseed oil, olive oil, castor oil, and soya oil soaps of sodium, potassium, ammonium and water-soluble amines, e.g. triethanolamine and morpholine.  The synthetic detergents may be anionic or non-ionic, those specified being triethanolamine lauryl sulphate, sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate and polyoxyethylene ethers of alkylphenols. The volatile liquid is a halogenated methane or halogenated ethane containing at least one fluorine atom, with or without one or more chlorine atoms, specified compounds being 1, 1-difluorethane, 1, 2-dichloro-1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluorethane, trichlorotrifluorethane, dichlorodifluormethane, chlorodifluormethane, fluorotrichlormethane and 1-chloro-1, 1-difluorethane; mixtures of these compounds may also be used.  The concentration of the soap or synthetic detergent solution may be 5-30 per cent and the proportion of volatile liquid is about 0.2-0.0125 mol. per 100 gm. of the composition.  The compositions may include also small proportions of glycerine and (or) a mineral of the white-oil type. Examples of suitable compositions are given.  A suitable container comprises a pressure-tight vessel 1 having a delivery tube 11 closed by a plug 5 held by a spring 7 in engagement with a flange 4.  When the plug is depressed by the push-button 10 the composition is expelled through the tube 11 and nozzle 9 either as a lather or as a liquid which forms a lather as the volatile liquid evaporates.  The invention is particularly applicable to the production of lathers for shaving and shampooing. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 719,647.

Title: Improvements in methods of and machines for gutting fish
IPC: A22C25/14
Filed: 1938-03-31
Abstract: 513,218. Dressing fish. BAADER, R. March 31, 1938, Nos. 9939 and 30620. [Class 28 (ii)] In the dressing of fish, a cut is made behind the head, through the backbone but not through the guts, the head is pulled away from the body to pull the guts partly with it, and the guts are engaged, between the head and the body, by a device acting throughout its engagement with the guts at a point close to the body and are drawn out of the body by this device, so that, after the engagement of the guts by the device, only that part of the guts between the device and the body is subjected to tension. As shown, the fishes are fed by a rotary supply table 11 to a rotary structure 15 having a number of pivoted clamping arms 23 which grip the protruding heads of the fishes. The arms 23 carry spikes which impale the heads, and are operated by rollers 25 thereon engaging a fixed cam 27. Immediately the fish is clamped, a cut is made behind the head by a knife 20 carried by one end of a lever 16 rocked by a cam 22, rotating with the structure 15, and a returning-spring. The fish is then engaged by a fixed fork 127 which holds back the body whilst the head is pulled away therefrom. The guts are engaged by a winding tool 29 consisting of an arm 30 rigid with a shaft 42 which is longitudinally reciprocated by a lever 39 and rotary cam 34. The shaft 42 is rotated by a toothed segment 48 which is oscillated by a roller-ended arm 63 thereon, engaging a slot in a cam 50 rotating with the cam 34. The gear wheel 47 on the shaft is sufficiently wide to remain in mesh during the reciprocations of the shaft 42. The other arm 31 of the tool 29 is pivoted at 32 and has an extension 46 which, when the shaft 42 rises, is actuated by the fixed cone surface 45 to open the arms 30, 31. A spring 33 tends to close the arms. The guts are gripped as the shaft 42 descends, the subsequent rotation of the tool breaking the guts away from the head and pulling them from the body. If desired, a knife may be arranged to sever the guts from the head after the engagement of the tool 29. The guts are removed from the tool 29 by a cam-operated oscillating brush, assisted, if desired, by a water jet. In a modification, the lower end of the shaft 42 is formed as a toothed roller which meshes with a correspondingly formed roller on the arm 31, which is then mounted on a pivot which does not rotate with the shaft 42, the guts being .thus gripped between the rollers and pulled out of the body.
