Title: Improved method of treating carriers for optically-reproducible sound and like oscillation records
IPC: G11B11/00
Filed: 1941-06-14
Abstract: 552,222. Optical sound-records. PHILIPS LAMPS, Ltd. (Naamlooze Vennootschap Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken). June 14, 1941, No. 7575. Addition to 484,374. [Class 40 (ii)] Relates to mechanically-cut opticallyreproducible records made as described and claimed in the parent Specification by cutting a track in a recording layer 11 through a covering layer 12 and then chemically treating the record to " blacken " the exposed surface B of the recording layer. According to the invention, the covering layer 12 is removed after the chemical treatment to prevent its bevelled edges 15 causing optical disturbances in the reproduction of the record. The covering layer may be a coloured one enabling a play-off directly after recording before the chemical treatment. The removal of the layer may be performed by bringing the layer into contact with a surface coated with a solvent. Alternatively, the film may be passed through a bath of solvent, which must then be selected to have no effect on the other layers including especially the supporting layer 10, which like the covering layer is usually of a cellulose derivative, or the film may be wound on a support before being subjected to treatment.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a method of and a machine for winding rolls or packages of sliver
Inventor: MOFFAT JOHN BOYD
IPC: B65H54/38
Filed: 1955-03-16
Abstract: 793,952. Winding sliver rolls. FRASER & SONS Ltd., D., and BRITISH JUTE TRADE RESEARCH ASSOCIATION. March 15, 1956 [March 16, 1955], No. 7642/55. Class 120(1). A method of winding a roll of sliver, in a machine of the type in which the roll is wound at a constant peripheral speed by frictional contact with a driving surface and the sliver is traversed from end to end of the roll, consists in varying the frequency of traverse so that effects on sliver draft are negligible and to values of the ratio of instantaneous roll circumference to sliver laying wave length are maintained, for as Long as possible, remote from whole num. bers or numbers of the form 2n+1/2 and are caused, when 2 necessary, to pass rapidly through such numbers. Undesirable ribboning effects in the winding are thereby avoided. Preferably, the values of the ratio are caused to vary about, but not dwell at, mean values of the form 4n+1/4 or 4n+3/4, the sliverlaying angle being allowed to vary between two close limits such that the variation in draft imposed on the sliver is negligible in practice. As shown, sliver 1 is traversed across a roll 5 by a conductor 3 on a lever 11 pivoted at 12 and oscillated by a cam disc 13. Cam 13 is driven from the rolldriving roller 4 through a variable speed gear consisting of mating cones 25, 26 pressed together by a spring 32 and having an interposed resilient ring 28. The frequency of sliver traverse is varied by moving ring 28 across the faces of the cones; this is effected by a fork 43 engaging the ring and slidable along a transverse bar 44 under the influence of a lever 39 moved by a follower 38 bearing on a cam surface 37 of a slide 9 carrying the roll 5, cam 37 being so shaped as to give the desired variations of sliver traverse frequency.

Filed: 1938-03-11
Abstract: 497,524. Massage and suction apparatus. ZOLOTNITZKY, M. March 11, 1938, No. 7662. [Class 81 (ii)] A massage device for the face comprises a bell-like vessel which is placed with its periphery in contact with the skin, and means for creating a partial vacuum within the vessel to draw the skin between two or more rollers mounted within said periphery. The vessel may comprise an annular part 3 within a resilient outer casing 1, 2. The bulb 1 is compressed and the. device placed on the skin after which the bulb is released, thus creating a partial vacuum. The rollers 4, which may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, divided into two or more parts or have a helical groove over their surfaces, are mounted on spindles 5. These spindles may be stretched springs or of elastic material and have eyes 6 at their ends which extend through holes 9 in the annular part and are secured by a circular wire 7 in a groove 8 on the outside of the annular part. The nose 11 enables otherwise inaccessible areas of the face to be reached. In practice on application of a partial vacuum the flesh is pinched between the rollers and is thus kneaded as the device is slid over the skin. The eccentric mounting or varied shape of the rollers in combination with the tension of the spindles produces a tapping or vibratory effect on the skin.

Title: Improvements relating to Typesetting
IPC: B41J3/01
Filed: 1967-02-20
Abstract: 1,172,553. Type-composing apparatus. COMPUGBAPHIC CORP. 20 Feb., 1967 [24 Jan., 1967], No. 7965/67. Heading B6W. A control apparatus for a typesetting machine generates, in response to input signals, control signals for the machine to produce composed material in a language, e.g. Arabic, in which a given character may have different forms, the input signals being without form designation and the appropriate form for each given character being determined by the control apparatus according to the characters immediately preceding and succeeding the given character. The composition to be typeset is keyboarded without regard to the form of any given character to produce a punched tape 10, Fig. 1. The six-bit electrical output from tape reader 11 is applied to the input of shift register 12 having two successive storage positions, the code in the first position being presented to decoder and translator 15 which classes the code as representing (i) a character which is not modified by preceding or succeeding characters, (ii) a character which can exist in one of two forms and (iii) a character which can exist in any one of four forms. The two bit output code identifying the class of a character in the first position of register 12 is applied to the first storage position of register 16. The second position of register 16 contains a code indicating the class of the character coded into the second position of register 12, whilst the third storage position of register 16 carries a code indicating the class of the character which has just been processed by the system. By comparing the class of a character in the second position of register 12 with that of the characters immediately preceding and following it, decoder 17 actuates only one of its four outlets to indicate to memory unit 14 the required form of a character reaching it from shift register 12 via decoder 13. Thus the output of unit 14 is an eight-bit code indicative of the identity and form of a keyboarded character. This signal is presented to typesetting control 19, preferably by way of justification unit 18. In Arabic typesetting a provisional lengthening connecting stroke " kashida " is inserted into each word and the number of provisional " kashidas " which are converted into transmitted kashidas is determined by unit 18 to justify each line received. The invention may also be used to automatically provide " ligatures ", i.e. a character which is substituted for a specific combination of letters when such a combination is coded for typesetting. In this embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown) each coded character is classified and compared with the characters immediately preceding and following. If a signal indicating that a ligature is required results from this comparison the appropriate ligature is released from a storage unit.
