Feb. 16, 1933, No. 4811. Convention date, Feb. 16, 1932, [Class 35.] A liquid tight stator winding is produced by inserting the conductors in tubes of liquidtight material previously placed in the slots and then surrounding the end connections of the winding with sheathing which is secured in a liquid-tight manner to the tubes. As shown for slot a, a tube 6, which may have a coating 9 of oakum impregnated with resin, is inserted in the slot and the conductors 5 are then inserted axially. For semi-open slots b the tube is slit to allow the conductors to be inserted radially, whereafter the edges of the slit tube are connected together in a watertight manner. The end windings are then provided with a sheath connected to the tubes 6, and this sheath may also be oakum covered. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also a modified form of end winding enclosure comprising chambers 12, 14 formed by flaps integral with the tubes which are joined at their edges directly or by a ring of metal or presspahn. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 668,590. Detecting standing waves. SPERRY CORPORATION. March 2, 1950 [March 30, 1949], No. 5315/50. Class 37. A section of ultra-high-frequency transmission line is adapted to be connected into a length of coaxial transmission line and to carry standing wave detector apparatus. Two spaced plates 10, 11 having plane and parallel surfaces are connected by end-plates 12, 13 so as to enclose a rectangular space 14 having a length L slightly more than half the wavelength at the lowest frequency, at which measurements are to be made. A cylindrical conductor 15 is spaced midway between the plates 10, 11, its ends being passed through circular holes 20, 21 in the end-plates 12, 13 and connected through undercut sections 22, 23 to the inner conductors 24, 25 of two sections of coaxial lines. The outer conductors 26, 27 of these lines are attached to the end-plates 12, 13. Each coaxial line section has a dielectric member 37 for supporting the inner conductors 15, 24, 25. The coaxial line sections are connected to a source 28 of ultra-high-frequency energy and a load 29. A third coaxial line section 30 having an inner conductor 31 extending into the space 14 is supported on a carriage 32 by a clamp 33. A thumb-screw 34 permits vertical adjustment of the conductor 31 with respect to the conductor 15. The portion of the conductor 31 extending below the carriage 32 serves as a probe responsive to the electromagnetic field in the space 14. The coaxial line section 30 is connected to a crystal detector 35 and meter 36. The carriage 32 is movable longitudinally by pinions 46 engaging racks 44, 45. A pointer 60 attached to the carriage 32 moves over a scale 61 on the plate 11 for determining the position of the probe 31, readings of the meter 36 being taken at different longitudinal positions of the probe to determine the corresponding strength of the electromagnetic field in the space 14. The central conductor 15 may be a steel rod plated with copper and silver. Specification 633,791 is referred to.

Filed: 1918-03-27
Abstract: 123,632. Collier, G. H., and Morris, W. March 27, 1918. Cold and heat retaining vessels.-Relates to protective casings for vacuum insulated flasks, and consists in the utilization of two adjacent cylindrical casings, each corrugated or fluted in parallel lines when developed, and the directions of the flutings being at a right or other considerable angle as between the two casings. Fig. 1 shows the outer casing 1 and the inner casing 2 with corrugations 3, 4 respectively. The layer forming each casing has flattened vertical edges 5, 6, 9, which are overlapped and soldered, brazed, welded, or riveted, and flattened top and bottom edges 7, 8 to be connected to the terminal upper cup 11 and to the flanged base-piece 10 respectively. The cap is flanged at 12 to take over the edge of the outer casing, which extends above that of the lower casing, and is internally threaded at 15 for the usual top 14 to be screwed in. Alternatively, the inner casings 1, 2, may terminate above in flattened edges at the same level, and there may be of a distancepiece between them. The stiffness resulting from this connexion enables tin plate or other sheet material of light gauge to be employed, the corrugations being produced by passage between rollers with projections and recesses. The invention is not restricted to cylindrical shapes, and may be applied to cans or containers other than vacuum flasks.

Abstract: 996,568. Cathode-ray tubes. E. K. COLE Ltd. Dec. 20, 1962 [Feb. 15, 1962], No. 5744/62. Heading H1D. A cathode-ray tube deflection coil assembly generally similar to that of Specification 920,187, has its field deflection coils L3, L4 arranged in sections which are wound from alternate sides of the coils and which are separated by layers S1 S2 of metal foil or metallized paper to reduce the intersection capacitances and hence the circulating currents in coils L3, L4 produced by the change of line flux (line-scan ringing). If coils of the above type have two outer sections which are coplanar, e.g. turns of one coil section wound in the spaces between turns of another section, and/or an outer section with less turns than that of a preceding section, then the intersection capacitances may be sufficiently reduced by mounting the metallic layers on the outer surfaces of the coils instead of between the coil sections.

Abstract: 1,135,231. Pressure wave distance indicator. FURZEHILL LABORATORIES Ltd. 10. Feb., 1966 [10 Feb., 1965], No. 5832/65. Heading H4D. A distance, e.g. level of liquid (14), Fig. 1 (not shown), is determined by transmitting a pulse of sonic or ultrasonic energy from transducer T1 and receiving the echo thereof from the liquid load, the transmission of the pulse and the reception of the echo respectively starting and stopping the count, by a main counter 22, Fig. 2, of the oscillations from a clock 21, the count representing the distance being indicated at 24. The invention is concerned with the possible change in the speed of propagation of the pulses in the medium above the liquid, and for this purpose, alternate pulses are transmitted from a transmitter T2 to a receiver T3 over a path of known constant length. The transmission of the pulse from T2 starts an auxiliary counter 25 which stops when it has counted a predetermined number of oscillations, and the reception of the pulse at T3 causes a comparator 26 to feed a signal to clock 21 in dependence on the time elapsing between the end of the count in counter 21 and the reception of the pulse at T3. The signal alters the frequency of the clock oscillations to reduce said time to zero and adjust for said change in propagation speed. The indicator 24 may be inhibited until the adjustment is made. Transducer T1 may be used for transmitting the pulse over the path of predetermined length, whence said length should be larger than or smaller than the largest or smallest distance to be measured. This last requirement is not needed if the alternate distance measuring pulses are gated out.
