Title: Improvements in or relating to recording systems
Inventor: CORNELIUS VICTOR
IPC: D03J1/00
Filed: 1961-09-21
Abstract: 971,024. Recording-apparatus. DIGITAL ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. Aug. 27, 1962 [Sept. 21, 1961], No. 33837/61. Drawings to Specification. Heading G1J. A performance recording system for a plurality of machines comprises an electric typewriter or teleprinter operated sequentially in accordance with the state of operativeness of the individual machines to record the performance of the machines as a series of digital symbols for each machine. At intervals of say two minutes a pulse generator causes stepping of a uniselector which at each step applies a voltage through a line connected to the on/off sensing or start switch of a different machine and thence to the input of the typewriter causing printing of the digit " 1" when the machine is working and "0" when not working. The clock controlling the pulse generator also causes line spacing between cycles and time printing at intervals of say one hour. Identification symbols for the machines may also be printed and the 1's and 0's may be printed black and red respectively. A rotary multi-position switch may be provided on each machine having its stationary contacts connected to the typewriter inputs for printing 0, 2, 3, 4 &c. so that after a "0" has been printed to indicate a stoppage and before restarting the machine an operator may select another digital symbol representing according to a code the cause of stoppage. This symbol will be printed in the next eycle after which the switch will return to 0 position and a 0 or 1 will be printed in the next cycle. A push button switch or a telephone-type dial could be used. Double spacing may be introduced say every five cycles. A light may be provided on each machine to warn an operator against printing the cause of a stoppage during a regular printing cycle. Specification 861,172 is referred to.

[Class 75 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXV] In electromagnetic apparatus for moving a lamp about a pivot the lamp support is connected to a shaft having an armature normally held in a position intermediate a pair of stator pole pieces so that equal and opposite torques are exerted thereon when the winding is energised and a second armature movable relative to the first armature is provided to unbalance the torques and enable the first armature to be moved to the required position. In the form shown, the lamp 10 is carried on a bracket 12 secured to the spindle 13 to which the armature 16 is secured, a second armature 17 being loosely mounted on the spindle 13. The armature 16 is urged to lie parallel with the stator pole pieces 13, 19 by a spring 20 but the axes of armatures 16 and 17 are displaced by a small angle limited by pins 25, 26 projecting from armature 17. When the winding 21 is energised, the pin end of the armature 17 will move towards the nearest pole-piece, i.e., pole-piece 18, Fig. 3, until the spring 30 on armature 17 engages a stop 32 on the pole-piece. Meanwhile armature 16 is moving to its attracted position and comes to rest bearing on pin 25. The armature 16 returns to the neutral position when 'the winding is deenergized and carries with it the second armature the pin end of which will now be nearer to the pole-piece 19 and hence the armatures move in the opposite direction when the winding is reenergized. During its movement the lamp filament is brought into and out of focus with the reflector 54.

Title: Process and apparatus for coking petroleum oils
IPC: C10B55/10
Filed: 1954-12-03
Abstract: <PICT:0773153/III/1> In a process of cracking petroleum oils wherein the oil is contacted with hot inert solid particles maintained as a fluidized bed and wherein particles are continuously withdrawn from the bed and carried through a transfer line in suspension in oxygen-containing gas whereby carbonaceous deposits are burned off the particles and they are simultaneously reheated, the reheated particles are separated into two streams according to size, viz. fine and coarse; the fine particles are introduced into the bed, and the coarse particles are recycled to the inlet of the transfer line.  The process is particularly applicable to the conversion of heavy residual petroleum oils into more volatile oils and coke, utilizing a fluidized bed of coke particles (40-200 m ) as contact material in the reactor.  In the apparatus shown, vessel 11 contains a bed 20 of coke particles, at about 900 DEG -1000 DEG ., maintained in a fluidized state by steam introduced through line 17.  The oil to be converted is introduced into the bed through nozzles 15.  The vaporous products leave the reactor via cyclone 23, and are passed to a recovery system (not shown).  Coke particles overflow into the side compartment of vessel 10 where they are stripped of occluded hydrocarbons by steam introduced through line 33.  Some of this coke flows down through U-bend 42; it is quenched with water introduced through line 43, and finally withdrawn as product from cyclone 44. The steam formed in the quenching may be utilized as fluidizing medium in vessel 10 and elutriator 58.  The remainder of the stripped coke from standpipe 34 is passed through U-bend 36 into transfer line burner 37; and air is introduced through lines 38 and 49.  The transfer line burner is lined with refractory material; and the combustion is effected at a temperature of 1300 DEG -1500 DEG F. or even higher.  The partially-burned, reheated particles are passed into separator 53, from which the flue gases are discharged overhead while the hot solid particles flow down line 57 into elutriator 58. Here the fine particles are separated from the coarse particles by the fluidizing action of steam introduced into the elutriator through line 62.  The fine particles pass to vessel 10 via line 13, and maintain the temperature therein.  The coarse particles are recycled via line 59 to the transfer line burner.  The ratio of the amount of solids recycled to the burner with respect to that passed to vessel 11 should be between 0.5 and 1.2.  An auxiliary burner 50 for starting-up is provided; this being supplied with fuel and air through line 51.
