Title: Protection of a circuit board from high energy electromagnetic radiation
Inventor: TURTON BRIAN CHARLES HARGRAVE
IPC: G21F1/00
Filed: 2007-09-13
Abstract: A printed circuit board 20 includes a layer 34 of quantum tunnelling composite that lowers its resistance in response to high energy electromagnetic radiation, connecting circuit elements 22 - 28 together through vias 32 to prevent damage from released charge. When high energy electromagnetic radiation is not present, the quantum tunnelling composite has high resistance and allows the circuit to operate as usual. The quantum tunnelling composite acts, in the presence of radiation, to short-circuit elements on the PCB before capacitive discharge damages them. A loudspeaker (not shown) may be included to provide vibrations to the quantum tunnelling composite to return it to its insulating state after the radiation exposure has finished, avoiding the tendency for the composite to become latched in the conducting state. The printed circuit board may be used to protect against high energy gamma ray pulses produced by a nuclear explosion.

Title: Improvements in or relating to gramophone record playing apparatus
IPC: G11B17/16
Filed: 1958-03-31
Abstract: 885,500. Automatic gramophones. TELEFUNKEN G.m.b.H. March 31, 1958 [March 30, 1957], No. 10181/58. Class 40 (2). In a gramophone record apparatus in which a gauging member on the pick-up arm, such as a roller, automatically traverses the surface of a record to be played and gauges its diameter, means are provided for increasing the downward pressure of the pick-up arm during the traversal of the gauging member. The apparatus described embodies well-known means for lifting the pick-up from the record during the first stage of an automatic cycle, as in a record changer, comprising a vertically moving camoperated rod 7 which comes into contact with an abutment 11 to lift the pick-up arm 5 about a pivotal axis 4. During playing of a record the stylus pressure is reduced by a spring 15 anchored to the arm at 16 and to the arm support at a point on a lever 17 acting against a stop 19. While the rod 7 is in its upward position an abutment 20 thereon moves one end of lever 17 upward about pivot 18 so that the other end is lowered towards the pivotal axis 4 and thereby reduces the lifting effect of spring 15. During the second stage of the automatic cycle when the gauging member 13 is resting on the record surface the rod 7 is in a position just out of contact with abutment 11, and the downward pressure of the arm 5 is thus greater than during record playing when the rod 7 is in the lowermost position shown in the Figure.

Title: Tube feeding device for apparatus for supplying foamed in place insulation through aretractable tube
IPC: E04B1/76
Filed: 1965-03-10
Abstract: 1,081,745. Coating apparatus. FRUEHAUF CORPORATION. March 10, 1965 [March 18, 1964], No. 10233/65. Heading B2L. [Also in Divisions E1 and F2] A tube feeding device for use in filling a cavity with foamed insulation has a pair of feed wheels 7, 8 for moving a tube 3 longitudinally to withdraw it from the cavity as filling progresses, means to control the rate of rotation of the feed wheels, and means 5 for feeding foam insulation through the tube in the opposite direction to tube movement. In the preferred embodiment, the means 5 consists of a nozzle fed at a controlled rate by a variable speed pump or mixer with cellular foam insulation and provided near its end with an annular groove for a split ring 30 to prevent foam being carried over the nozzle by the tube. While the tuber are being withdrawn, they are split longitudinally by a blade 33 and then fed through a hollow cylindrical guide 37 to a pair of blades 41, 47 reciprocated relatively to each other by an air motor 45 to reduce the tube to small disposable pieces the blades being mounted on a spring-loaded subframe 51 to move with the tube during each chopping operation. Profiled lateral guides are provided on opposite sides of each feed roller and the two feed rollers, which have serrated driving surfaces, are urged towards each other by springs 20 with shims 26 to determine their minimum separation. A variable speed electric motor 15 drives the feed rollers through toothed gearing one of which carries an actuator pin for a pulse counter connected through a comparator to a roller 69 spring biased into engagement with the tube 3 to maintain a predetermined relationship between motor speed and rate of flow of foam. The nozzle 5 and blade 33 may be eliminated, the foam being fed directly to the tubes which are either chopped or merely "snaked-back". A hand crank 31 facilitates manual positioning of the tube on the nozzle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical measuring apparatus employing a bridge circuit
Inventor: BRAY PHILIP ROBERT
IPC: G01R27/02
Filed: 1948-04-14
Abstract: 665,879. Electric measuring bridges. POSTMASTER GENERAL. May 13,1949 [April 14, 1948], No. 10375/48. Class 37. [Also in Group XXXV] A measuring bridge comprises a standard resistance Rs, Fig. 1, an unknown impedance Rx, Cx, and variable ratio capacity arms C3, C4, further capacitances being provided for equalizing the phase shift in arms Rs and Rx, Cx; as shown, condensers Cl and C2 are connected across Rs and Rx and adjusted to equalize the phase shift. Preferably the condensers Cl, C2 and C3, C4 are formed by di fferential condensers, Fig. 2, so that when Cl, C2 is adjusted to give equal phase shift in Rs and Rx, Cx, the reading of C3, C4 at balance indicates the ratio of Rs and the parallel resistance component of Rx, Cx, while the reading of Cl, C2 indicates the parallel capacitance component of Rx, Cx. In a practical embodiment for a small <SP>i</SP>mpedance range, the condenser C3, C4 is a differential condenser 1, 2, 3, Fig. 4, in which the moving plates are restricted to a movement of about 3 degrees of arc and are of the known type in which the inductance in each half decreases with increase in capacity. The moving plates are adjusted by a knob 18 which rotates a cam 13, Fig. 3, actuating a lever 10 to rotate the moving plates; the knob 18 can rotate through about 350 degrees and carries a pointer 19 traversing a graduated scale which is rotatably adjustable; the cam may be modified to correct irregularities in the condenser.

Title: An automatic radiator shutter arrangement for liquid-cooled internal combustion engines
IPC: F01P7/10
Filed: 1960-03-24
Abstract: 905,793. Radiators for motor vehicles. FRANK, T. L. Feb. 7, 1961 [March 24, 1960], No. 10461/60. Class 64 (3). In an apparatus for automatically opening and closing a shutter system for the radiator of a liquid-cooled internal-combustion engine, a conduit 1 leads to a cylinder 2, said conduit being connected to the oil-circulation system of the engine so that rise in oil-pressure occurring on operation of the engine pushes a piston 3 having a rod 5 along the cylinder causing an apertured arm 7 pivoted in a fork 6 at the other end of the piston-rod to move in an anticlockwise direction about its point of connection to a control link 8 and in so doing to move towards a pin 9 on a push-rod 10 passed through the aperture of the arm 7. Lost-motion occurs until the arm 7 engages the pin 9 when subsequent motion of the former in the same direction moves the push-rod 10 to rotate a bell-crank 11 so as to pull a coupling-rod 12 and thereby open all of a set of shutters 13. When the engine is stopped and the oil pressure in the conduit 1 falls to zero the piston moves back along the cylinder under the action of a return-spring 16 therein and the shutter closes under the action of a returnspring 15. The amount of lost-motion occurring before opening of the shutters may be varied by movement of the manual control lever 17 which, connected to the control link 8 via a rod 19 and a sheathed cable 18, causes the arm 7 to be moved in an anticlockwise direction as the lever moves towards " S " (summer). Under conditions of extreme cold the lever may be moved to and must be held in the position " WX " in which case the lost-motion is 100%, the shutters then remaining closed although the engine is running. When the lever 17 is in the position " S " there is no lost-motion and when the arm 7 is at the extreme point of its anticlockwise movement a latch 20 on the lower part of the arm engages the end of a fixed plate 22 locking the arm against return movement and thus holding the shutters in the open position until the lever 17 be moved away from " S."
