Patent GB-1169612-A (GB)
Title: Ground Station Receiver
IPC: G01S13/78
Filed: 1967-02-17
Abstract: 1,169,612. Radio frequency system. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 17 Feb., 1967 [23 Feb., 1966], No. 7626/67. Heading H4L. Specification describes a TACAN receiver incorporating means for adjacent channel rejection, echo suppression and precision half amplitude finding of an incoming signal. Thus in the embodiment of Fig. 3 the 12 Ás spaced pulse pairs are received and heterodyned at mixer 10. The pulses are then passed to a wideband hard limiting amplifier 12 and a narrow band filter 15. Amplifier 12 gives a saturated (limited) output with just a noise input and is so designed that the total power at its output throughout its bandwidth is constant. Thus, if a pulse signal is received within the bandwidth of 12 then most of the available power in the output of 12 will be concentrated in this pulse and the surrounding noise power will decrease. When the pulse signal is a TACAN pulse, the concentrated output of 12 is passed by filter 15 giving output of 31, E, Fig. 2, but when the signal is on an adjacent channel only part of the reduced noise passes through 15 (30, D). The output of 15 is detected at 16 and passed to a variable threshold means 38. This ensures that 2700 pulses are retransmitted by the receiver per second, thus if less than 2700 interrogation pulses are received the threshold of 38 is reduced such that the outputs of 16 due to noise are passed. A 12 Ás pulse space discriminating circuit comprising AND gate 43 multivibrator 40 and 12 Ás delays 41/42 receives the output of 38 and when a TACAN pulse pair is thus detected causes the triggering of monostable 44. The first pulse of an interrogation pair is gated by 45 via Log. amplifier/detector 21 and delays 46/47 and the second pulse of said pair is gated by 52. Circuit 48 detects the peak amplitude of the first pulse and subtracts 6db from said amplitude, the resultant flat topped pulse is inverted at 49 to give pulse 51, Fig. 4. Pulse 51 is coterminous with the second pulse 53, which is subtracted therefrom in circuit 50, to give pulse 54. The positive half of 54 is amplified at 55 and the resultant 57 fed via 1¢ Ás delay 60 to one input of an equal amplitude detector 63. The output of 57 is also fed to a circuit 58, similar to circuit 48 to produce signal 59 at a level 6db below the peak of 57. Signal 59 is fed to the equal amplitude detector 63 such that an output is given for triggering the transmitter at the instant 62.

March 14, 1934, No. 8049. Convention date, March 18, 1933. [Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv)] Forging dies; squirting.-A hollow metal body with angularly arranged branches is formed from a tubular blank 15 arranged in a cavity 13 in a die 10<a> by subjecting the opposite ends of the blank to the pressure of dies 17 which reduce the wall thickness of the blank, consolidate an intermediate portion thereof and displace that portion into a second die cavity 14 angularly related to the cavity 13 and containing a male die 19 to hollow out the displaced portion. The blank has a vent hole 16 which is disposed opposite the second cavity 14 and is occupied by a projection 21 on the die 19. This die is replaced by one with a rounded end adapted to continue the displacement of the metal farther along the cavity 14 and finally the rounded die and the dies 17 are removed and plungers 21, 24, Fig. 6, operate to leave only thin walls 22, 25 between them. These are drilled out and a shoulder formed in the branch 15d by a reamer associated with one of the drills. Alternatively, instead of using the plungers 21, 24, the wall 22 may be drilled out, a mandrel be inserted in the tube and the branch 15<d> be completed by successive action of tapered and round plungers.

Title: Improvements in Fuses of Shells.
Inventor: FALCK OLAF ANDREAS
IPC: F42C15/24
Filed: 1917-06-05
Abstract: 117,106. Falck, O. A. June 5, 1917. Projectile fuses.-Relates to percussion fuses in which the detonator or primer is normally out of operative position and in which the percussion pellet is held at safe by balls confined by a sleeve which is actuated by a spring to release the balls after the projectile has left the gun. According to the invention, the detonator 10, Fig. 1, or the primer 23<1>, Fig. 4, is firmly connected with a sleeve 6 or 29 which is movable outside a fixed part 2 or 43 of the fuse. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the sleeve 6 sets back by inertia when the projectile is discharged, pins 8 connecting it to the detonator 10 being sheared. Another sleeve 4 then becomes interlocked with the sleeve 6, and, after the acceleration of the projectile is over, a compressed spring 11 moves the detonator and the sleeves forward, causing the detonator to embrace the primer, and releasing the balls 3, so that the percussion pellet 5 is free to strike the firing-pin 1<1> on impact. The sleeves are interlocked by a spring flange 4<1> or by a pivoted catch. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the discharge of the projectile causes the, set back of a sleeve 40, which releases balls 25, allowing the primer 23<1> after acceleration is over to be moved forward into the detonator 27 by a compressed spring 29<1>. The sleeve 29 is moved forward with the primer and releases balls 30, unlccking the percussion pellet 22.

Title: A process for extracting ground roasted coffee
IPC: A23F5/26
Filed: 1962-03-02
Abstract: A process for the counter-current extraction of ground roasted coffee with water comprises moistening the coffee under an atmosphere of gas inert to the soluble coffee matter a pressure higher than the escape pressure of the gases contained in the dry coffee and extracting the coffee at the same pressure.  Roasted coffee is poured into a bunker from which air is expelled by introducing carbon dioxide at the bottom.  The coffee is then passed to and ground in an air-sealed mill and the ground coffee transferred by a screwconveyer in an air-tight conduit to one of a series of extraction vessels, the vessel being pressurized with carbon dioxide from a buffer vessel. Fresh water under pressure is passed via a measuring pump, through a steam heated heat exchanger to raise its temperature to 160 DEG C., and into the extraction vessel containing the most exhausted coffee. The first extract so produced is then passed in turn through other vessels containing partially exhausted coffee and finally into the vessel containing the freshly ground coffee.  The temperature of the extracting liquid drops gradually from 160 DEG C. to 80 DEG C. as it passes through the series of vessels, temperature corrections, where necessary, being effected by means of heat exchangers sited in the conduits connecting the vessels.
