Title: Improvements in Metallic Filaments for Electric Lamps.
Inventor: KITSEE ISIDOR
IPC: H01K3/02
Filed: 1910-05-09
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 11,415. Kitsee, I. May 9. Filaments of metals such as tungsten and tantalum are made from the corresponding phosphides, which are shaped by squirting or moulding and then reduced by electrolysis, for instance in dilute phosphoric acid with platinum anodes; porous filaments or thick rods of high resistance are obtained, which may be consolidated mechanically. The phosphide may be prepared by adding about one gram atom of phosphorus to four gram atoms of metal previously heated to 800-1000‹ F. in a closed crucible, or by heating the two together. Excess of phosphorus remains uncombined if air is excluded.

Title: Improvements in the Art of Synchronizing Alternating Current Generators.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: G01R23/02
Filed: 1910-06-01
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 13,336. Lake, H. W., [Weston Electrical Instrument Co.]. June 1. Phase-differences, measuring.-A synchronizing-instrument, for indicating when two alternating-current generators are running with the same frequency and phase, consists of an indicator P which oscillates when the frequencies are unequal, and a lamp L which gives a maximum luminous effect when the machines are in the same phase. The lamp lights a translucent face D behind the pointer, the result being that, when the generators are out of phase, the indicator appears to travel continuously in one direction or the other, depending on which machine is going faster. With the machines in synchronism, the pointer is stationary immediately in front of the lamp, the brilliancy of which is at its maximum. The indicator P is attached to the movable coil M of an electro-dynamometer such as is described in Specification 12,221/90, the stationary coils F being connected to one alternator A, and the movable coil M to the other alternator B through a condenser C and resistance r. The coil M is normally held in its central position by two spiral conducting-springs. The glow-lamp L is connected to the transformer T, having primaries connected to the alternators so that their effects are additive.

Abstract: 5982. Cramer, S. W. March 9. Hygrometric apparatus. - In apparatus in which the moisture and the temperature of air are regulated by wet and dry bulb thermometric elements as in the apparatus described in Specifications 1769/06, 12,945/07, and 12,361/09, the thermometric elements consist of metallic shells containing expansible fluids and directly connected to a member which receives a motion proportional to the difference of the expansion of the two elements. Fig. 3 shows the dry and wet bulb elements 1, 2 placed in trunks 6, 5, the supply of air to which is controlled by dampers as shown. The air for the two elements may come from the same or different sources as desired, and a spray 4 is placed in the trunk 5. The thermometer elements consist of series of shells, as shown in Fig. 2, which may communicate with each other or not. The dry-bulb element 1 is attached at one end to the wall of the trunk 6 and carries at the other end a rod 9, to which is adjustably connected a lever 21 operating a valve controlling the supply of steam to a heating-device. On the rod 9 is formed a rack engaging with a pinion 12. The wet-bulb element 2 also carries a rod 16, on which is a rack engaging with the pinion 12. The pinion 12 is carried on a lever 18 operating a valve controlling the supply of water to the air-moistening sprayers, and it is clear that the movement of the lever 18 will be proportional to the difference in the expansions of the elements. To allow of adjusting the humidity, the element 12 is carried on a screwed rod 13 passing through a nut 14 with a graduated head.

Abstract: 8039. Bowell, H. T. W., and Bowell, G. B. March 30. Electric clocks. - Relates to electro-magnetic step-by-step mechanism for electric clocks &c., of the kind described in Specification 20,496/09, and consists in employing two armatures mounted at right-angles to one another on the driving-arbor, and each operating in turn, one armature c being acted upon by an electromagnet f, and the other, b, by a permanent magnet h. The driving-arbor is thus rotated through two steps of 90 degrees, each time the circuit is made and broken. A coil i is provided to demagnetize the magnet h when a current is transmitted to the electro-magnet f. The pole-pieces or the armature are so shaped that a uniform torque is produced, and the turning-effort is maintained through an angular distance sufficient to avoid dead points. Fig. 2 shows the armature b and the poles of the magnet h. Winding-apparatus.-By the provision of a contact-device, actuated by the arbor a to make and break the circuit of the electro-magnet f, the apparatus may be converted into a motor which may be used for winding up the driving- spring or weight of a clock. In this case an external switch is automatically operated by the clock. Specification 5758/05 is referred to.

After about 15 or 20 minutes, the heating jacket is moved clear of the drum, the rotation of the drum being continued until the corks cool. The corks and impregnating - material may be placed in the wire drum separately, or the impregnating- material may be applied to the cork before insertion by placing them in a wire cage and immersing it in molten paraffin wax floating on the top of boiling water. The vessel or wire drum containing the corks, instead of being rotated, may be jigged, rocked, or otherwise agitated, and in some cases may be arranged to slide into a fixed annular jacket or oven.
