Filed: 1928-03-13
Abstract: 300,247. Lancer Fuel Saving Corporation. Nov. 11, 1927, [Convention date]. Steam, supplying; blast apparatus and draught inducers. - Steam-generator furnaces wherein steam jets are used for inducing the draught and for injection of steam into the fuel bed have these jets supplied with steam from an extraneous source during heating-up. As shown applied to a locomotive boiler an auxiliary blow pipe 9 in the smoke-box 10 and a sprayer 12 which delivers a cone of steam jets on to the fuel in the fire-box 13 are connected through a steam distributor 7 to a three-way cock 1 whereby they may be supplied either from the boiler by a pipe 2 for normal working or from an extraneous source by a pipe 5 during heating- up. The pipe 5 may be connected with another locomotive under steam or with steam pipes laid along the tracks. Waste steam from locomotives being blown off may be utilized. In stationary gas generator furnaces a small water receptacle may be heated by the generated gas to supply the steam distributing means for starting-up.

Abstract: 641,087. Valve amplifying circuits. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. March 27, 1947, No. 8380. Convention date, March 27, 1946. [Class 40 (v)] Undesired feedback through the control grid/anode capacitance of a tuned amplifier using a screen-grid valve having an undecoupled cathode resistor is neutralized by a bridge arrangement having 4 capacitive arms one of which is the grid-anode capacitance. Fig. 1 shows a 10.7 mc/s. I.F. amplifier having input and output tuned circuits 9 and 13, 17, and in which feedback through the anodegrid self-capacitance 21 is reduced by including this capacitance as one arm of a bridge comprising the tuning capacitor 17 (together with stray capacitances 17<SP>1</SP> and 17"), the anode decoupling capacitor 16 and the neutralizing capacitor 30 connected between the anode decoupling capacitor and the grid. The unbyepassed cathode resistor 10 compensates for variations in input capacitances with changes in A.V.C. voltage. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 5, the neutralizing capacitor C4 is connected between the anode and the grid decoupling capacitor C2, the bridge thus being constituted by the capacitances C4, C2, C3, and the amplifier input capacitance C22. When the input tuning condenser C1 has one terminal connected directly to earth it is then effectively in parallel with C22 (Fig. 4, not shown), and the remaining bridge arms should be adjusted accordingly.

The area of the outlet 6 may be varied by adjusting a slide 7. The ejector is mounted on the rear wall 9 of the subsidiary hopper and with the wall and the side walls 10 may be moved up and down by a lever 17. A screw 24 presses the wall 9 against the floor 3 of the hopper. The floor is pivoted and may be swung downwardly for cleaning. In a modification the ejector 13 and the wall 9 are carried by the floor 3, and the position of the ejector is varied by adjusting the floor.
