Abstract: The invention relates to power supply systems. There is provided an apparatus and a method for supplying electric power to an electric device (104). In the method an indication of a desired power level to be supplied to the electric device (104) is obtained. Electric power is received as DC power by a constant current regulator unit (102), which inverts the DC power to AC power and supplies the AC power to a reactance (T1) to be transformed to an output power. The output power is supplied from the reactance (T1) to the electric device (104). The method further comprises adjusting the AC power supplied to the reactance (T1) by using at least two of the following: - voltage level of the AC power; - the frequency of the AC power; - a waveform of the AC power.

Abstract: 1,044,085. Separation of americium and curium. UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. Aug. 4, 1964 [Sept. 18, 1963], No. 31260/64. Heading G6R. Americium (Am) or curium (Cm) is separated from yttrium or lanthanide rare earth fission products in an aqueous mixture by adding an aminopolycarboxylic acid or a salt thereof and a water-soluble organic acid, and then contacting the aqueous solution with an organic solution containing a monoacidic organophosphorus compound of the formula where R2 is alkyl and R3 is is alkyl or aryl. The organic phase containing fission products is separated from the aqueous phase containing Am or Cm. A number of suitable aminopolycarboxylic acids, organic acids, and organophosphorus compounds are listed; the diluent for the organophosphorus compound may be an aromatic hydrocarbon. The aqueous phase preferably has a pH of 1À5 to 4À0. The Am or Cm is removed from the aqueous phase by a second extraction with an organic solution in which the organophosphorus compound is different or is present in higher concentration, or in which an aliphatio hydrocarbon is used as diluent, the Am or Cm being returned to aqueous solution by extraction with HNO3 or HCl; alternatively oxalic acid is added to the aqueous phase to precipitate Am and Cm as oxalates. In Example I a solution containing americium,. cerium and europium is treated with lactic acid and the sodium salt of diethylenetriamiriepentaacetic acid, and extracted with di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid in diisopropylbenzene. In other examples, components of the organic phase are decyl hydrogen decylphosphonate, diethylbenzene, and dodecane, and the organic acid is tartaric, citric, glycolic, or malonic acid.

Abstract: 1,053,185. Typewriters &c. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Sept. 7, 1964 [Sept. 25, 1963], No. 36627/64. Heading B6F. General.-This machine is fully described in Specification 1,053,186, but the claims relate to the back-spacing mechanism. Back-spacing mechanism; back-space actions.- In the proportional letter-spacing typewriter referred to, there is a storage wheel 30 with stops 27 which are set at intervals according to the width of the character selected, and the backspacing mechanism is designed so the backspacing steps correspond to the letter-spacing that has occurred within the memory of the storage wheel 30. When a back-space key-lever 60 is depressed, a pawl 63, Fig. 5, pivots a lever 65 which results in downward movement of a latch 68 biased to pivot counterclockwise. The latch 68 has two notches 71, 72 engaging a stationary stop plate 73. A link 74 connected to the rear of the latch 68 is drawn forward, Fig. 7, to actuate a stop sensing mechanism 75. This projects a sensing finger 110, in a radial movement, into the path of stops 27 on the storage wheel 30. Operation of the back-space key-lever pawl 63 also operates an interposer 82, Fig. 5, which rotates a bail 86, operates a clutch arm 87 and power drive is given to shaft 90. A cam 92, follower 97, via 98, 99, 100 pivots a crank 105 carrying a back-spacing pawl 106 which engages all the stops 27 and rotates the storage wheel through a distance equal to a basic escapement unit. The wheel is held by a holding pawl (38 not shown). Steps of basic units are continued until the sensing finger 110, Fig. 7, is engaged by a stop 27, whereupon levers 117, 116 pivot clockwise, link 74 is pulled, and latch 68 pivots, and when notch 71 thereon clears stop plate 73 latch moves vertically to initial position.

[Also in Division H2] In interconnecting on a printed circuit two components (i.e. devices such as transistors, positioned on the substrate, resistors on the printed circuit and conductors of the printed circuit) a conductor is placed in a slit in a masking device so that the conductor extends between and contacts the components with solder between the conductor and components and the assembly is heated to melt the solder. A voltage regulator for use with an alternator on a road vehicle is made by printing on a substrate 31 a thick film circuit with conductive areas which receive one plate of a first capacitor, one plate of a second capacitor, the collectors of three transistors, the anode of a diode and the anode of a Zener diode. The substrate 31 is placed on a holder 32 and a mask 33 is located on the holder leaving windows to receive the components, solder is printed on the thick film or preformed solder parts are placed in the windows and the components are placed in the windows in contact with the solder. Connections are required from components to the printed circuit and from component to component and to effect these connections a second mask 34 is located on mask 33 by pins 35. Laminµ 37 each having arcuate end portions 37a joined by an intermediate portion 37b are arranged in slits in the mask 34 to extend between components in the mask 33 and areas on the printed circuit. Where the laminµ contact the printed circuit solder can be printed on the circuit and where the laminµ contact a component solder as cream or as an insert is placed between the laminµ and component. The assembly is heated to melt the solder and form connections between the laminµ and components and between the component printed circuit.
