Abstract: 1,003,051. Inverting. CENTRAL ELECTRICITY GENERATING BOARD. May 31, 1961 [May 31, 1960], No. 19185/60. Heading H2F. In a H.V.D.C. converter operating as an inverter the angle must be as small as possible to avoid consumption of reactive power and yet large enough to satisfy the equation # = γ + #c where γ is the overlap angle and #c the de-ionization angle. Since the R.H.S. of this equation is dependent on voltage and current it is necessary to vary # to account for variation in these parameters and this may be achieved by continuously solving the equation where #2E is the peak voltage, #L is the commutation reactance and I d  is the direct current. These matters are discussed in the inventors' book " High Voltage Direct Current Power Transmission." The present invention comprises apparatus for automatically adjusting # comprising analogue computing means to solve the equation (which corresponds with the equation above in that t is the firing point measured from the previous positive cross-over, i.e. #t = # - #) the means including an integrator to give a quantity proportional to #2E(1 - cos#t) by integration of the voltage across the converter valve during positive half-cycles only. As well as this integrating circuit the computing means requires (a) a peak voltage circuit for the determination of #2E(1 + cos#c), (b) a circuit for representing current and (c) a level detector. Various circuits for effecting these functions are disclosed. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 733,272.

Abstract: 918,094. Electric hot-plates. SELEX ELECTRIC CO. (KIRKBY) Ltd. April 21, 1961 [June 2, 1960], No. 19535/60. Class 39 (3). The leads from a sheathed element electric hot-plate element pass to a termination box through holes in a spill deflector which is angularly displaceable to allow access to or removal of a spill dish located beneath the hotplate, when the latter is raised. Movement of the hot-plate 14, Fig. 2, produces movement of the spill deflector 18, by reason of the tight fit of the sheathed leads 14a, 14b in the holes 18a, Fig. 1, of the deflector, such movement being limited by the projecting portion 20a of the termination box 20, and by the lugs 25d, 25e and curved portions 25a, 25b of the termination box cover 25. Leads 14d pass through an insulating block 26 before connection to pins 21, 22, and a wire 29a connects earth pin 29 to a bore in the spill deflector. The bracket 20b engages standard locating screw 31. To remove the spill dish 16, the hot-plate 14 is raised until its part farthest from the spill deflector is free of the opening 11, and is then drawn forward away from the spill deflector, causing the latter to rotate (Fig. 3B, not shown) to allow removal of the spill dish.

Title: Improvements in or relating to an electric apparatus in which the electron beam of one or more trochotrons is intended to be directed in synchronism with the stepping velocity of the electron beam of a controlling trochotron or in synchronism with a multiple of said stepping velocity
IPC: H01J31/06
Filed: 1953-07-14
Abstract: 737,954. Thermionic distributers. TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L. M. ERICSSON. July 14, 1953 [July 18, 1952], No. 19575/53. Class 40 (3). The invention relates to trochotron electrondischarge tubes of the type described in Specifications 675,465 and 709,264 and concerns an arrangement for directing the beam of one or more trochotrons in synchronism with the stepping velocity or a multiple thereof of the electron beam of a controlling trochotron. According to the invention, and as illustrated in Fig. 1, the control electrodes 11-14 of the controlling trochotron 1 are connected to the corresponding control electrodes 11<SP>1</SP>-14<SP>1</SP> of a controlled trochotron, such as 2. The controlling trochotron is stepped by any known method, such as by applying negative pulses at 19 to the commoned contact electrodes 7-10. When current reaches a control electrode, a voltage drop occurs across the associated resistor 15-18 and thereby decreases the potential of the corresponding electrode in the controlled trochotron causing the beam to be stepped similarly. The arrangement leaves the contact electrodes 7<SP>1</SP>-10<SP>1</SP> of the controlled trochotron free and they may be employed to supply gate pulses to devices connected to them, such as pulse modulators and demodulators. Since the potentials for the control electrodes are derived from outside the tube, the cathode current of the controlled trochotron need not be continuous but may be pulsed. Condensers are preferably shunted across resistors 15-18 to render the operation of trochotron 1 more reliable. Several trochotrons are controlled from one by parallel connections. Reference is made to the use of coaxial trochotrons with the resistors 15-18 in Fig. 1 replaced by parallel resonant circuits. To cause a controlled trochotron to stop at a multiple M of the controlling' trochotron frequency f, the corresponding control electrodes, e.g. 3, 13<SP>1</SP>, are connected together by a circuit as shown in Fig. 2 in which 21 comprises a diode and 23 a resonant circuit tuned to the desired multiple of the stopping frequency. Current pulses from the control electrode 13 supply energy to the circuit 23 every Mth cycle, and during the other cycles the oscillations are maintained by energy stored in the circuit. Phase-shifted sinusoidal voltages thus appear at the control electrodes of the controlled trochotron and cause the beam to be stopped at the frequency Mf. If the cathode current of the controlled trochotron is continuous energy is supplied to the tuned circuit and the trochotron becomes mainly freerunning with synchronizing energy supplied each Mth cycle.
