Abstract: 430,070. Winding or balling yarns &c. BEYER, P. G. G., 1, Mellemtoftevej, Valby, Copenhagen. Oct. 18, 1934, No. 29823. Convention date, Oct. 18, 1933. [Class 120 (ii)] A hand winding or balling apparatus comprises a rotatable vertical winding spindle and a rotatable yarn guide having its axis of rotation at an angle to the axis of the spindle so that when the guide is rotated it moves around the winding spindle and also longitudinally thereof. As shown the spindle 4 carries a friction wheel 8 driven by a roller 12 on an inclined shaft 11 carried by the hand driving-wheel 13 which frictionally drives the yarn guide or flyer 16 through the wheel 15 thereon. The yarn passes from a hank or skein through a funnelshaped axial bore in the wheel 15 and through guides 17, 18 on the flyer 16 to the spindle, the end of the yarn being fastened to a hook 9 on a spool 10 on the spindle ; the spindle has a socket 5 containing a spring-pressed ball 6 by which it is supported on a pivot plate 3 provided on a support 2. The spindle 4, shaft 11, and flyer 16 are journalled in the support 2 which may be fastened to a base 1 or to a hand-grip.

Abstract: 1300187 Epitaxial growth INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 30 June 1971 [17 Aug 1970] 30610/71 Heading B1S A method of growing a crystalline layer on a substrate 34 consists in establishing two regions, 25a and 25b each having a different multicomponent melt, M A  and M B , the two regions being in thermal equilibrium with each other and transferring a portion of one melt along with the substrate 34 to the other. The melts M A  and M B  are both saturated, this being by the dissolving of the materials 44a and 44b in the melts, and the phase diagram of the components of the melts (which comprise the same components, only in different ratios) are such that by mixing melts M A  and M B  a supersaturated solution is formed, and the substrate receives a coating which is primarily of the composition of the portion of melt transferred when the substrate is (by rotation of substrate holder 16) transferred from one melt to the other. Successive layers can be applied by successive rotations of the holder 16. The process is, in the described embodiments, carried out in a hydrogen atmosphere with the apparatus shown in Fig. 1B within a quartz tube in a furnace. Dopants can be added to the melts through tubes. A further embodiment having three such chambers containing melts, and a substrate in a recession in a disc is also described. The substrate can be of gallium arsenide, with the melts each comprising gallium, aluminium and arsenic, to deposit layers of Ga 1-x  Al x  A s .

Abstract: 1376486 Reinforced carbon composite ATLANTIC RESEARCH CORP 3 July 1972 [9 July 1971] 31018/72 Heading C1A [Also in Divisions C7 and F1] A turbine blade, which expression is defined as including turbine vanes, is composed of a composite material comprising a pyrolytic graphite matrix containing embedded therein at least one reinforcing refractory strand layer, said layer comprising a plurality of unidirectional and substantially parallel laterally spaced individual continuous refractory strands, the matrix being nucleated from each of the individual strands and interconnected to form a continuous phase surrounding and interconnecting the individual strands of said strand layer or layers. The material of the blade is able to be used at temperatures in the range 2000-5000‹ F. As shown for example in Fig. 3 the blade may be formed by wrapping a tape of refractory strands 1 around a mandrel 3 whilst simultaneously heating the mandrel and admitting via nozzles. 9 a suitable hydrocarbon containing gas which decomposes at the temperature used to produce pyrolytic graphite. The resultant body is shown in Fig. 2b and the desired turbine blades may be obtained by cutting along lines 18 when two suitable composite plates 19 and 20 are obtained. These may be shaped as shown in Fig. 2c into a turbine blade 22 which may be mounted on face 24 so that the fibres run radially in the direction of arrows 21. If desired each layer of substantially parallel strands may be oriented in a direction different from the direction of the adjacent strand layer or layers. The spacing between the strands may be no greater than 0À1 inch. The refractory stranding may be chosen from carbon, refractory metals and alloys thereof, carbides, borides and oxides. Particularly preferred are carbon, boron, silicon carbide and aluminium oxide. The matrix may include codeposited silicon carbide which may comprise aciculae of silicon carbide oriented in a direction perpendicular to the a-b plane of the pyrolytic graphite matrix.
