Patent GB-1020270-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to baking, preserving and storing cakes and like food-stuffs
IPC: A21B3/13
Filed: 1964-05-04
Abstract: 1,020,270. Baking, preserving and storing cakes &c. E. PAECH. May 4, 1964 [May 3, 1963], No. 18415/64. Headings A2A and A2D. In baking, preserving and storing cakes and like foodstuffs, a sheet metal tubular, e.g. cylindrical, container 3, Fig. 1, which is closed at one end and has an open mouth surrounded by a flange 3<SP>1</SP> at its other end, is partly filled with a cake mixture or dough 1, so that a free space 2 is left adjacent the mouth, which is then closed by a lid 4, Figs. 2 and 3, provided with a vent 5 and a rim 4, which is rolled, together with the flange 3<SP>1</SP>, around the mouth to form a substantially air-tight joint. The container is then heated in an oven to bake its contents and form a cake or like foodstuff 1<SP>1</SP>. The container is removed from the oven and the vent is sealed, as by a blob of solder or plastic material, which may bear a distinguishing mark or sign. The inner walls of the container may be lined with plain or corrugated greaseproof paper 7, or coated with fat or butter.

Title: Improvements in or relating to synchronising arrangements for television systems
IPC: H04N5/073
Filed: 1933-12-15
Abstract: 423,098. Television. COSSOR, Ltd., A. C., BEDFORD, L. H., and PUCKLE, O. S., Highbury Grove, London. Dec. 15, 1933, No. 18432. [Class 40 (iii)] A synchronizing-signal, capable of being distinguished from the picture signals, is used to synchronize the scanning-lines, and the suppression of the synchronizing-signal once during each complete scanning brings about the return of the scanning-spot at the receiver to the first scanning-line. The synchronizing signals are of extreme voltage and make the grid of a valve V7 positive. This reduces the anode current of a valve V6 sufficiently to initiate a discharge in a valve V5, as described in Specification 419,298, and thus discharge a condenser C1, the voltages on which are applied to the deflecting plate PX of a cathode-ray tube to control the line scanning. Each discharge of the condenser C1 produces through a condenser C13 a positive pulse on the grid of a valve V3, which overcomes the cut-off bias due to grid-current and a circuit R12, C12, and feeds an increment of charge to a condenser C3 which controls the picture-traversing movement, as described in Specification 399,469. When the normal synchronizing signal does not arrive no pulse is fed to the valve V3 and the potential across a time-constant circuit R3 C4, falls, and a gas-filled valve V4 discharges to return the scanning-spot to the starting point. To ensure that the condenser C1 does not discharge in the absence of the synchronizing signals, a voltage-limiting device comprising a diode valve V and a time-constant circuit CR is placed across the condenser C1. According to a modification, Fig. 2, (not shown), the elements C13, R13, R12, C12, are omitted and the valve V3 is biassed by a resistance. The condenser C4 is also omitted and the voltage drop due to the anode current of the valve V3 through the resistance R3, biasses the valve V4. To synchronize the discharge of the valve V4, a resistance is connected in series with the condenser C and connected through a condenser to the grid of the valve V3.

Title: Improvements relating to apparatus for automatically counting and determining particle size distribution
IPC: H03K21/00
Filed: 1954-06-23
Abstract: 790,114. Photo-electric particle counters. FARBENFABRIKEN BAYER AKT.-GES. June 23, 1954 [June 26, 1953], No. 18436/54. Class 40 (3). In apparatus for sizing particles the image of the particle obscures a number of photo-cells representative of the size of the particle, the arrangement being that no cell will operate its counter unless the previous cell has detected the presence of the particle. As shown, a light on dark image 26 of the particles to be sized is traversed relatively to a layer of photoelectric material in which are embedded electrodes 1, 2, 22 and 21, as described in Specification 791,079. Further pairs of electrodes 3, 4; 5, 6; 7, 8; are insulated from the photo-electric layer as indicated by spaces 25 but each pair is provided with a layer of photo-electric material 24 between them. The operation is such that the number of photocells insulated from the general layer, which are traversed by the particle image all register provided the first cell also is traversed and provided the image of the particle does not form a bridge between electrode 1 and elongated electrodes 21, 22. Circuit (Fig. 2).-In Fig. 2, 23 represents the photo-electric background layer while 24 represents the photo-electric layers of the divided cells. If the light image of the particle forms a bridge from electrode 1 to either of electrodes 21, 22 triode 28 conducts, relay 50 opens its normally closed contacts and none of counters 61-70 is energized. Provided the bridge does not exist, however, and provided the first cell is energized relay 51 is energized and counter 61 operated while the supply is extended to the normally open contacts of relay 62. If the second cell is energized these contacts are closed by triode 30 and counter 62 operates and so on.

[Class 38 (v)] A fluid-pressure-operated switch for switching in a welding circuit when the air pressure to a welding electrode has been sufficiently built up, comprises two connected pistons 2, 3 moving in cylinders 5, 6 of different diameters, the smaller cylinder 6 being connected at 12 to a constant fluid pressure and the larger cylinder 5 being connected at 11 to an increasing fluid pressure so that eventually the pistons move to the right to the .position shown and operate the switch. The double piston 2, 3 may have a flange 8 which limits its movement and also operates two plungers 9 to operate two switches 10. One of these may close the welding circuit and the other may close a circuit to operate valve connected to the exhaust to enable the pistons to return to their original position.

Title: Controlled rectifier inverter circuits

Abstract: 1,201,597. Inverters. LANDIS & GYR A.G. 11 April, 1969 [22 April, 1968], No. 18667/69. Addition to 1,160,803. Heading H2F. In an arrangement as described in the parent Specification wherein controlled rectifiers e.g. thyristors (5, 6), Fig. 1, are fired alternately and a gate (11) is provided to prevent thyristor (6) from being fired until reverse current detected by a current transformer (13) flows through a diode (8), a second gate (62) operated through an inverter (64) is provided to prevent firing pulses from being fed from a generator (7) to thyristor (5) while current measured through a current transformer (63) is flowing through the thyristor (6). The gate 11 has a constant voltage arrangement 67-69 across its input and when diode 8 conducts a transistor 70 fires thus blocking another transistor 71 hence rendering a transistor 72 conductive allowing a capacitor 73 to charge through a variable resistor 74 which adjusts the response time. At a determined capacitor voltage a Zener diode 76 breaks down, gating a transistor 75 open to pass a pulse from a generator 7 to thyristor 6. The gate 62 is constructed in a similar manner except that the transistor 71 is omitted hence reversing the operation of this circuit.
