Title: Improvements in and relating to noise limiters for use in radio receivers
IPC: H03G11/02
Filed: 1950-06-19
Abstract: 681,630. Automatic noise suppression. BRITISH COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, Ltd., and HEFTMAN, T. S. June 19, 1951 [June 19, 1950], No. 15319/50. Class 40 (v). In a noise-limiting circuit employing a rectifier automatically biased by a voltage dependent upon the amplitude of the received signals, a further fixed bias is employed in opposition to the variable bias so that, in the absence of a received signal, all noise voltages and weak signals below a level determined by the fixed bias are prevented from passing the limiter. The series diode 17 is biased from the demodulator stage 11 over resistor 16 and capacitor 15 having a time constant such that the voltage across capacitor 15 varies with the audio signal, but is unaffected by short noise pulses. The series diode 17 thus passes the audio signals, but noise pulses render it non-conducting. Any negative-going pulses that pass this diode cause the shunt diode 20 to conduct and are thereby suppressed. The addition of resistor 21 connected to a positive potential causes diode 20 to conduct and 17 to cut off so that no signals are passed until the demodulator output is sufficiently great to remove the paralysing bias.

Filed: 1930-05-19
Abstract: 361,383. Granulating metals. GLOBE STEEL ABRASIVE CO., Mansfield, Ohio, U.S.A. May 19, 1930, No. 15361. Convention date, Jan. 9. [Class 82 (ii).] Spherical steel granules for use as abrasive material are formed by acting on a falling stream of molten steel with a high-pressure stream of water, preferably so that the particles, almost immediately after formation, fall into a pool of water. Steel is melted in a cupola 1 and flows through openings 2 on to an inclined platform 4 faced with fire-clay in which channels 6 are formed leading to reservoirs 7. The molten steel overflowing from the reservoirs passes down channels 8 to the end of the platform 4 and the falling streams of steel 9 are acted on by high-pressure water streams 15 from nozzles 12. The nozzles 12 are preferably flattened so that a ribbon-shaped stream of water, wider and moving with a greater velocity than the stream of steel, is produced. The particles of steel formed are carried for a short distance by the water stream and then fall into a pool of water 10.

Abstract: 1,033,575. Calculating-apparatus. BUCHUNGSMASCHINENWERK KARL - MARX - STADT VEB April 19, 1963, No. 15531/63. Heading G4B. In a ten-key machine provision is made for the automatic actuation of triple zero mechanism during decimal calculations so that the three lowest sterling currency orders are skipped. With lever 30 in the position shown, pin 53 on the motor-driven wheel 55 pulls link 46 to the left, rocking a lever 40 clockwise. The lever 40 bears on a pin 38 on an arm 37 of two-armed lever 4 and thus moves the lever 4 clockwise so that its other arm 6 operates a control member 7 (Fig. 2, not shown), to cause the skipping of the three orders. Member 7 (Fig. 2) by bearing on an arm 8 also unlatches a member 16 to spring 17 with the result that arm 19 slides a member 5, to which lever 4 is pinned at 3 to the left-hand end of a slot 2. When the pin carriage is reset it acts on lever 61 to relatch member 16 and permit the return of members 4 and 5 under the actions of springs 23, 39. Since return of the carriage is necessary for resetting, repeat operations may be performed without repetition of the order skipping operation. For sterling operations, lever 30 is moved to the left to remove pawl 52 from the path of stud 53. The lever is latched in this position by engagement of pin 31 (Fig. 1, not shown), with socket 32 in catch 34.
