Title: Apparatus for transferring data between relatively rotating bodies
Inventor: OLESEN IB SVEND
IPC: G08C17/04
Filed: 2009-05-07
Abstract: The apparatus comprises two members that are placed adjacent and opposing one another, and on the opposing surface of which a number of electrical paths are provided. The closed electrical paths do not enclose the rotational axis. At least one of the loops is energised with a carrier high frequency oscillating signal to create a flux that threads the loop on the opposing member. Modulation of the carrier frequency allows signals to be transmitted between the members. By using smaller current loops to increase the magnetic flux density, a data or control signal can be transmitted more efficiently between a turbine drive shaft and a stationary part of the turbine, such as nacelle gearbox.

Title: Improvements in guns having servo-controlled firing mechanisms
IPC: F41A19/33
Filed: 1965-03-10
Abstract: 1,058,071. Firing mechanisms. BREVETS AERO-MECANIQUES S.A. March 10, 1965 [March 17, 1964], No. 10242/65. Heading F3C. An automatic gun having a reciprocating breech block 4 in a reciprocating casing 3 is provided with a servo-trigger mechanism including a spring-type energy accumulator 18 which is periodically loaded by a slide 17 through a pivoted lever 21 connected thereto, the lever 21 being pivoted to load the spring each time the casing 3 recoils through the engagement of the roller 24 on one end of lever 21 with the surface 25 of the casing. Locking means is provided to hold the accumulator fully loaded and comprises an abutment lever 26 which biased by spring 28 moves behind an abutment 17a on the slide 17 when the latter is in its forward position, the lever 26 being held in locking position by a lever 29 pivoted at 30 and biased by spring 31. The lever 29 may be moved so as to permit the lever 26 to rise and release the slide by a spring- loaded pawl 32 pivoted on one arm of a bellcrank lever 34 pivoted at 30 and connected by links 35a to the trigger 35. When the slide 17 is released it moves to the right to strike the end of a balance lever 19 the end of which is held opposite the slide 17 by the end of a pivoted lever 42 actuated by the links 35a engaging the surface 19c. Lever 19 is pivoted at 20 to a bell-crank lever 15 and so when the end of lever 19 is struck by the slide 17 the lever 15 pivots anti-clockwise to permit a roller 12 on a pivoted bent lever 9 to move from surface 15a to surface 15b under the action of a spring 13. The pivoted movement of the lever 9 causes a sear 5a engaged in a notch 4a of the breech block to move downward to release the breech block. When the casing 3 recoils the spring 18 is stressed and the slide 17 locked in its forward position as long as the trigger is kept depressed to continue firing and also when the trigger is released. If the gun is required to fire single shots a rod 44 is pushed towards the left so that a projection 39a on a hook 39 is retracted and ceases to co-operate with holding lug 19a and so permits after the firing of a shot lever 15 to pivot and sear 5 to return to its position in which it retains the breech block in the rear position. The gun may be initially cocked by a cable means which acts on the breech block to move it rearwardly and on levers to stress the spring 18.

Title: A process for the production of 2, 5-bis(haloalkyl)-1, 4-dioxanes
IPC: C07D319/12
Filed: 1964-03-11
Abstract: 2,5 - Bis - (haloalkyl) - 1,4 - dioxanes of the formula <FORM:1017865/C2/1> are made by dimerization of epoxyhaloalkanes of the formula <FORM:1017865/C2/2> where R may be a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, aralkyl, aryl or alkaryl radical and X is a halogen atom, in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one cobalt carbonyl complex in which at least one CO ligand has been replaced by a t-phosphine or acetylene ligand.  Numerous starting materials and products are specified, the preferred compounds being those in which R is hydrogen or C1- 4 alkyl and X is bromine or chlorine. The reaction is suitably conducted at 50-200 DEG  C. in the liquid phase under an inert atmosphere using 0.1 to 1.% by weight of epoxyhaloalkane, of catalyst, optionally in the presence of an inert solvent.  Suitable catalysts (see Division B1) are dicobalt octacarbonyls in which at least one, preferably two, CO ligands are replaced by t.-phosphine ligands, e.g. (R1R1R11P)2Co2(CO)6, where R1 and R11 are C1- 10 alkyl or C6- 10 aryl radicals and (R1R1P-R11-PR1R1) Co2(CO)6 where R1 is as above and R11 is a C1- 6 alkylene radical.  Many catalysts are specified; especially preferred is bis (tri-n-butylphosphine) dicobalt octacarbonyl. Improved yields are obtained when the catalyst is used with a quaternary ammonium halide promoter, preferably one in which one of the radicals attached to the N-atom is epoxy-substituted, particularly when said radical corresponds to that obtained by removing the halogen atom from the epoxyhaloalkane reactant. The promoter may be added to the reaction mixture as such or may be formed in situ by adding the quaternary halide or the tertiary amine from which it is derived to the mixture of the epoxyhaloalkane and the catalyst. Examples relate to 2,5-bis-(chloromethyl)-1,4-dioxane in the form of a mixture of its cis and trans isomers.ALSO:Catalysts used for dimerization of epoxy-haloalkanes comprise at least two cobalt carbonyl complexes in which at least one CO ligand is replaced by a t-phosphine or acetylene ligand.  The cobalt carbonyls may be used in conjunction with quaternary ammonium halide promoters.  Numerous compounds are specified.
