Granted: 1915-01-21
Abstract: 2174. Gifkins, A. V., and Watson, H. S. Jan. 27. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for; system of charging and discharging galvanic batteries.-The charging and discharging arms of an automatic end-cell switching system are so arranged that the number of cells across the external circuit cannot exceed the number of cells across the dynamo. Each of the end-cells is cut out when fully charged by the action of a voltage relay placed successively across the cells, and the dynamo is stopped and disconnected from the battery when all the end-cells have been cut out. The regulator is rendered inoperative by opening a switch in its control circuits, after' which the switch arms may be operated by hand ; a signal is given when all the regulating-cells have been placed in circuit. The charging arm 1, Fig. 4, carries a contact 61 controlling the number of cells on charge, and a contact 62, which together with the contact 61, places a voltage relay 28, Fig. 1, successively across the regulating-cells. The discharging-arm 13 carries a contact 58 by means of which the number of cells across the external circuit is varied and this arm is adapted to be engaged by a stop 65 on the arm 1. The arm 1, pivoted at the point 2, Fig. 1, is adapted to be moved by a wheel 3 having ratchet teeth 4 ; and the arm 13 is adapted to be moved by a wheel 14 having two sets of ratchet teeth 15, 16. The teeth 4 are adapted to be engaged by a pawl 36 pivoted on the core 37 of a solenoid 38 and adapted to be brought into engagement with the teeth 4 by means of an electro-magnet 32, the circuit of which is controlled by the relay 28. The movement of the pawl 36 also controls the circuit of the solenoid 38, the core 37 of which operates to turn the wheel 3 in a clockwise direction to cut out the end cells as they become fully charged and also to break the circuits of the magnet 32 and solenoid 38 after the arm 1 has been operated to cut out the charged cell. The core 37 also carries a pawl 44 adapted to be brought into engagement with the teeth 15 of the wheel 14 by the action of an electro-magnet 48, the circuit of which is controlled by a double-acting voltage relay 53 which also controls a pawl 47 by means of an electro-magnet 49. When all the end cells have been fully charged and cut out by the arm 1, a further movement of this arm energizes a coil 60 which is arranged to stop the prime-mover of the dynamo, which is disconnected from the battery by means of a cut-out 19. When all the end cells have been cut in by the movement of the arm 13, a signal lamp 64 is energized to indicate the state of the battery. The circuits of the automatic regulator contain a switch 27 by means of which the regulator is rendered inoperative, whereupon the arms 1, 13 may be operated by hand. Detents 55 engaging projections 54 are arranged to hold the wheels in their operative positions.

Abstract: 5639. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 5. Transformers. - A regulator comprises a transformer with two opposing secondary windings connected in series with separate magnetic circuits, so arranged that primary currents above or below a predetermined value respectively induce secondary currents in opposite directions. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the transformer has three limbs, the central one 3 being wound with a primary coil 1 through which flows the current of the circuit it is desired to control, and the outer limbs 4, 5 with the secondary coils 7, 8 in series but in opposition. The limb 4 is of small cross-section so as to be normally saturated, while the limb 5 has an air gap 6 and is normally unsaturated. The result is that as the primary current varies, the secondary current passes in opposite directions. As shown, a single phase generator 10 is connected to a known form of potential regulator 11. The regulator is connected to conductors 12, 13 leading to translating devices. An induction motor 14 operates the regulator 11, and is provided with two field windings, one 16 connected in series with a resistance 17 to the conductors 12, 13, and the other 18 connected to the secondaries of the transformer. On the current in the circuit becoming less or greater than the normal, a current in one direction or the other passes through the winding 18, and the induction motor responds to move the regulator in one direction or the other. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the secondary circuit is connected to the armature 23 of a relay 9<1> so as to operate a switch arm 24, whereby the current may be reversed in the field windings 19<1>, 19<2> of a series motor 19 which drives the regulator 11. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, two transformers 25, 26 replace the one in the former arrangements. The first, 25, is of small cross-section and is normally saturated; the other, 26, having an air gap 6<1>, is of larger section and is normally unsaturated. The primary winding is wound on one limb of each core, and the secondary on the other limbs, but in opposition.

Title: Drying technique applied to burley tobacco leaves for reducing nitroamines by forced aeration, heating and humidification process
Inventor: VARSOS GEORGIOS
IPC: A24B3/12
Filed: 2000-12-21
Abstract: echnical treatment for the drying of Burley tobacco leaves disposed in dense arrangement into cases, or containers ready to be introduced into dryers. Said method is characterized by forced air circulation caused by a self-acting system meant to conserve high humidity during the colouring process of the tobacco leaves and, thus, to prevent the creation of Tobacco Specific Nitrosamines (TSNA) on leaves. The great recycling air volume contributes to the even distribution of air into leaves so that local decay caused by air lack due to the irregularly loaded areas (areas with great density of leaves) is abolished, while the synchronical regulation of the temperature up to 50 deg guarantees the preservation of the natural oils contained into leaves. The addition of humidity, via water or vapour spraying, contributes to the acceleration of the chemical and natural processes accomplished on the tobacco leaves (colouring process), and impedes the decay of leaves and the creation of Nitrosamines on the surface thereof.
