Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A high frequency generator projects an electronic wave into a surveillance area to establish a first field.          At least one control zone is set up within the surveillance area by two low frequency (LF) generators. The first LF generator establishes a second field in the control zone.          The second LF generator establishes a third field only at a control zone margin, thereby defining the limits of the control zone.  Presence within the control zone of a trans-ponder causes reradiation of a signal comprised of the high frequency and LF signal, which provides an output signal.          Additional control zones may be set up within the surveillance area by the addition of further LF generators.

Abstract: AUTOMATIC VACUUM RELIEF VALVE FOR HOPPER CARS          Abstract of the Disclosure An automatic vacuum relief valve assembly includes a cover plate closing an opening in a container to the atmos-phere.  A valve is vertically spaced below the cover plate and closes communication between the inside of the container and the outside atmosphere.  A first passageway provides fluid communication between a first surface of the valve and the outside atmosphere.  A second passageway provides fluid communication between the inside of the container and a second surface of the valve.  When the pressure inside the container becomes less than atmospheric pressure, atmospheric pressure will cause the valve to move away from its seat and allow air to enter the container.  When the pressure is equalized, the valve is biased to return to the seated position.  The cross sectional area of the first passageways and the cross sectional area of the second passage-ways are at least equal to the cross sectional area of the valve to maximize the volume of air flow for a given cross sectional area of valve and pressure drop between the out-side atmosphere and the inside of the container.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A portable fluorescent tube assembly is disclosed having a relatively low voltage electric convenience outlet associated with the assembly.  Although higher than normally supplied voltages are needed to initiate the lighting of a fluorescent tube, these voltages are unsuited for energizing still other electrical apparatus which is designed for normally supplied voltages.  The circuitry of the present fluorescent tube assembly supplies both relatively high and low voltages at the portable unit itself, so that the tube can be fired to initiate lighting at the relatively high voltage, and yet other electrical apparatus can be energized directly from the portable assembly at a relatively low voltage.

Abstract: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A DRYING CYLINDER                Abstract of the Disclosure The present invention is a system for controlling the blow through steam in cylindrical dryers such as those used in the paper industry.  The flow rate of the condensate is measured as is the flow rate of the steam blown through the drying cylinder. The ratio of the flow rate of the blow through steam to the flow rate of the condensate is thereby measured. Knowing the condi-tions of the paper going through the dryer, the desired conditions of the paper leaving the dryer and the feed steam pressure, the ideal amount of condensate can be determined and a given ratio set.  The difference between the actual measured ratio and the set ratio is noted by a radio control means and a compensation made by varying the pressure in the steam/water separator which is downstream from the drying cylinder.  The amount of blow through steam for a given condensing load is thereby controlled and can be minimized.

Abstract: 1179.001 S P E C I F I C A T I O N     METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROLLING METAL WIRE OR ROD INTO WIDE, FLAT STRIPS     INVENTOR:  DOUGLAS W. ROWELL                    ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          A metal wire or rod is passed between two rolls one inside the other but with offset axes.  The larger outer roll which may be ring-shaped has a smooth inside contact surface.  The smaller internal roll has a smooth outside con-tact surface.  Together, these two eccentrically disposed surfaces form a long converging throat between them through which the wire or rod is passed as it is being rolled into a strip.  The opposing, smooth surfaces have a separation at the closest point which is less than 1/3 the diameter of the metal wire or rod to be fed between them.  The distance between the point where the wire first contacts the opposing, smooth contact surfaces of the converging throat and the closest point of separation between the opposing surfaces is preferred to be at least four times the original diameter "D" of the wire or rod being fed therethrough.  The wire or rod is thus progressively nipped between the opposing, smooth contact surfaces in the convergent throat of the two rolls as it passes through thereby flattening the metal since lateral movement and flow of the metal in the conver-gent throat region is unrestricted while elongation of the metal is restricted by the long converging throat.  Rolling of metal wire or rod in this advantageous manner produces a wide, flat metal strip having a width of at least 2.5 times the original diameter "D" of the wire or rod, and the resultant strip width may considerably exceed 4.0 times D.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE            A platen  press has a pair of platens having respective confronting and parallel pressing surfaces and each having a pair of longitudinal edges.  Respective spacer bars are fixed to the longitudinal edges of one of the platens and have respective spacer surfaces parallel to and between the platen surface. Respective adjustments bars are secured to the longitudinal edges of the other of the platens and each have an adjustment surface parallel to and confronting the respective spacer surface.  Each of these adjustment bars is formed of an outer wedge having a pair of nonparallel faces one of which is the respective bar surface and of an inner wedge having an outer face flatly engaging the other face of the respective outer wedge.  The inner and outer wedges can be relatively longitudinally displaced so as to displace the respective abutment face perpendicular to the respective platen surface.  Thus when the platens are displaced together perpendicu-lar to the surface the spacer surface flatly engages with the respective adjustment surface, holding the pressing surfaces apart finish increment set on the adjustment bar.

Abstract: EFFICIENT POWER AMPLIFIER WITH STAGGERED POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGES                         Abstract An  amplifier which minimizes the power loss in its output stages is described.  This is achieved by operating  the  several  output  stages  from  separate power supplies operating at staggered voltage levels. The output stages,  which have parallel signal paths, are unity-gain emitter follower circuits connected so that  the  follower operating from the  lowest usable power supply voltage always delivers the load current. Control  circuitry  shifts the  load current  from one output stage to another based upon the instantaneous relationship between  supply voltages and the output voltage.  The shift between output  stages  introduces very little signal distortion into the output.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           The invention relates to belt cylinders, i.e. piston-rodless operating cylinders in which steel belts, in particular, are used in transferring force; even during production, belts of this kind have the negative property of not being suffici-ently straight, instead they are bowed and this leads to break-downs in that the belts either destroy the flanges on the deflecting rollers in a very short time or, if there are no flanges, they run off the rollers; for this reason in spite of the technical advantages, belt cylinders have not been successful in practice; satisfactory operation of these belt cylinders may be achieved if, and only if, the belts which transfer force from the piston to the force pick-up are in absolute alignment; in order to achieve this, the invention provides that the piston - belt - force pick-up - piston system be pre-loaded, and that the ends of the belt be secured pivotably in a turnbuckle, so that they may automatically align themselves; moreover, the relationships between diameter, deflecting rollers and belt dimensions are optimized according to the driving force, from the point of view of fatigue strength.
