Title: A device for testing the moisture content of grain and other compressible materials
IPC: G01N33/10
Filed: 1954-03-30
Abstract: 781,919. Testing, grain, seeds and flour. LANGMEAD, P. I. April 22, 1955 [March 30, 1954], No. 9246/54. Class 58. [Also in Group XXII] Apparatus for testing the moisture content of grain, seeds, flour, sawdust &c. comprises an upper part 10, Fig. 3, which screws on to a lower part 11 and forces a plunger 22 against the pressure of a spring 23 into a sample of grain &c. filling a cylindrical chamber 26 in the lower part. The test is completed when the spring is fully compressed. The reduction in volume of the grain &c. which occurs is directly proportional to the movement between the parts 10 and 11 and to the moisture content of the grain &c. The parts 10 and 11 may have right hand threads and the part 11 may have a stem 11<SP>1</SP> with left hand threads, which receives a correspondingly threaded collar 30 provided with a groove 31, receiving the end of a screw 17 projecting from the part 10. The collar thus rotates with the part 10 and moves axially therein. The collar may be calibrated and the part 10 may be provided with a pointer, so that the movement between them can be measured, this movement also being proportional to the moisture content of the grain &c. when the spring is fully compressed. In the construction according to Fig. 5, the side edge of an opening 14 in the part 10 is provided with calibrations 41 which are read off against the top 11<SP>2</SP> of the chamber to give the number of times the part 10 has turned on the part 11. The outer periphery of the chamber bears calibrations 42, which are read off against the edge 10<SP>2</SP> of a notch in the part 10 to measure fractional parts of a turn. The plunger rod 21 may be calibrated to indicate the extent of compression of the spring.

Title: Means for indicating equivalent airspeed
IPC: G01P5/175
Filed: 1955-04-01
Abstract: 774,327. Barometric gauges; indicating- apparatus. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. April 1, 1955 [May 17, 1954], No. 9573/55. Class 106 (2) and 106 (4). An aircraft instrument displays at any altitude the particular indicated airspeed value which corresponds to a pre-selected critical value of equivalent airspeed used as a criterion for safety in lieu of the usual mach number criterion. Static pressure derived from the pitot-static head communicates with the inside of the instrument casing 11 through an inlet port 13 and influences an evacuated capsule 20 to operate appropriate computing mechanism and move clockwise a pointer 26 with increase of altitude to indicate the maximum indicated airspeed permissible for safety based on the selected critical value of equivalent airspeed. The total pressure from the pitot-static head is conveyed through an inlet port 15 to the inside of a capsule 17 which is exposed externally to the static pressure and thus causes another pointer 24 to display indicated air-speed. In a modification, the pointer 26 may be attached to a hollow shaft surrounding the shaft of pointer 24 so that the two pointers act concentrically.

Title: Automatic frequency control circuits for radio receivers
IPC: H03J7/04
Filed: 1937-04-05
Abstract: 493,511. Automatic tuning correction. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. April 5, 1937, No. 9620. Convention date, April 3, 1936. Addition to 489,094. [Class 40 (v)] A superheterodyne receiver of the type described and claimed in the parent Specification comprises an additional rectifier coupled to one of the error-detector circuits to provide A.V.C. control voltages and/or the audio-frequency signal. The invention relates to error-detector circuit arrangements as described in the parent Specification, and seeks to remove the drawback of such circuits, when used in a receiver with only one stage of I.F. amplification, that the selectivity is thereby reduced. The Figure shows a receiver with a single stage 41 of I.F. amplification coupled to a phaseresponsive error detector 6, 7 from which A.F.C. voltage is applied over lead 26 to a frequency control valve 22 as described in the parent Specification. If the A.V.C. and audiofrequency voltages are taken from the junction of the load resistances 12, 13 the selectivity is low ; the invention thus consists in deriving these voltages from a coil 32, coupled symmetrically to the coil 7<1> and feeding a tuned circuit, 31 resonant to the I.F., and a diode 30 which may be part of a diode triode low frequency amplifier stage. A.V.C. voltages for the radio frequency and mixing stages 2, 3 are derived from resistance 40 and applied over lead 41, the I.F. amplifier 4 being controlled from a tapping on this resistance to prevent distortion due to curvature of characteristic on full control. No coupling should exist between circuit 31 and coil 71, the former being preferably screened to prevent this. In modifications, Figs. 2 and 3 (not shown), coil 32 may be coupled to the circuit 6 ; or the coil 32<1> may be directly coupled to inductance 71 the link coil 32 being omitted. The selectivity in both cases is less than with the arrangement shown in the Figure. Specification 443,505 is referred to.
