Abstract: The invention concerns a procedure and an arrangement for melting the ice in a road culvert. This is effected by means of a heating medium passing through the road culvert 1 in a melting pipe 2 so that an arrangement placed at one end of the melting pipe produces a suction effect which, from a heating space 3 arranged at the other end of the melting pipe, draws air heated by the sun's rays through the melting pipe to the suction arrangement 4 and further out. In the arrangement according to the invention, there is a melting pipe 2 passing through the culvert 1, and a heating-medium source 3 connected to one end of this pipe, from which source the heating medium makes its way through the culvert via the melting pipe. According to the invention, the heating-medium source comprises a heating space 3 which stores the sun's radiant heat and is connected to the outside air, to which also one end of the melting pipe 2 going through the culvert is connected, while the other end is connected to the arrangement 4 which produces the suction in the melting pipe, i.e. a flow of heated air. According to the invention, by utilizing solar and wind energy, and with small equipment investment and insignificant maintenance and operational costs, a procedure operating with natural forces, and an arrangement for same, can be offered for the deicing of road culverts. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a device for sorting coins. According to the process, the coins are fed onto a slanting lift wheel 2, whereupon individual coins are collected from the pile of coins fed to the device by rotation of the lift wheel. Identification data on these individual coins are then assembled by means of detection members. On the basis of the said data, the coins are split into various groups. According to the invention, the coins are individually collected in collecting bays 4, located in the lift wheel, in such a way that essentially only one coin lands in each bay during each revolution of the lift wheel. Essentially under the influence of gravity and under the influence of the force generated by the rotational motion of the lift wheel, the coins are then set in a motion directed at least approximately along the plane of the surface of the coins in order to move the coins from the collecting bays to at least one detection station 12, in which identification data are collected. By treating the coins separately from one another, in a device according to the invention it is possible to combine a plurality of detection methods, thereby enabling accurate identification of the coins. <IMAGE>

After draining of the major part of the tank contents, but while residual contents of gas are present in vapourized state in the tank, the residual contents are conveyed for exchanging heat directly or indirectly with cold nitrogen. Nitrogen is vapourized and heated and conveyed to the tank, while the residual gas is cooled and condensed and conveyed to a collector tank. The plant comprises a heat exchange system connected to the supply of nitrogen, and residual gas is forced from the tank to be drained and through the heat exchange system in order to cause vapourization and heating of nitrogen to be conveyed to the tank, in such a manner that the residual gas from the tank condenses, whereby a collector container is connected for receiving condensed residual gas. In order to prevent that the residual gas freezes during the exchange of heat a cooling agent can be used which causes vapourization and heating of the nitrogen and which also is used for condensing the residual gas, without cooling the latter to below its freezing point.

Abstract: 1281091 Echo sounders; gate and store circuits MARCONI SOUNDING DEVICE CO Ltd 24 Oct 1969 [9 Jan 1969] 1311/69 Headings H3T and H4D In an echo sounder the distance indicator and/or recorder is made insensitive to occasional spurious echo signals by deriving a voltage proportional to the echo time, comparing this derived voltage with the voltage in a storage device, varying the stored voltage so as to follow the derived voltage, and actuating the indicator and/or recorder with the stored voltage. In the Fig. 1 embodiment a transmitter/receiver unit TR coupled to transducer unit T.D. provides a D.C. voltage (V1) proportional to echo time and this voltage forms one input to comparator C, the second input (V2) being obtained from a storage capacitor K via buffer amplifier A1. Monostable PG is triggered by each acoustic pulse transmission and drives a double staircase generator S. If V1 is greater than V2, one half of generator S is enabled by a first output voltage from comparator C and provides a positive staircase voltage for increasing the stored voltage V2. If V1 is less than V2 the other half of generator S is enabled by a second output voltage from comparator C and provides a negative staircase for decreasing V2. The monostable PG pulse width determines how closely V2 will follow V1. V2 is amplified at A2 to actuate the indicator and/or recorder R.

Abstract: 504,580. Hydraulic transmission of power. SPERRY GYROSCOPE CO., Inc. Jan. 14, 1938, No. 1318. Convention date, Jan. 14, 1937. [Class 69(ii)] [Also in Group XXXIII] Remote control of hydraulically actuated apparatus such as a ship's rudder is controlled by a master multiple valve which in turn is electrically controlled as from a steering wheel, the hydraulic motor being actuated either by a manual pump operated by the steering wheel or by an electrically driven power pump the motor of which is controllable by a small steering wheel or by an'automatic controller. A rudder R is actuated by cables 81 from a piston 50 which can be hydraulically actuated through a pipe system from a hand pump unit 6 having gear connections 2, 3, 4 with a steering wheel 1. The circuit includes valve members 11 and 12 having a spring bias 13 in one direction and also includes a master valve 19 which may be set so that such operation from the wheel 1 is effective. Alternatively the valve 19 may be set by means of an electric motor 30 which is controlled from the steering position, to a new position wherein the pipe circuit for operating the hydraulic unit 50 is completed so that the pump 22 provides the pressure energy, this pump being driven by an electric motor 23 which is controllable from the steering position. When using the electric motor 23, the control may be effected from a small hand wheel 40 operating a disc having segments which co-operate with a trolley arm in circuit with the motor. The trolley receives a follow-up motion from a repeater motor actuated by a transmitter 46. The disc may be actuated by an automatic steering gear instead of by the hand wheel 40. The pump is controlled by a switch 75 carried at the steering position. When the follow up gear is not in use, the shaft of a hand lever 69 is moved in to complete the motor connections and movement of the lever up or down then produces a forward or reverse rotation of the motor and resultant rudder action. When the pump 22 is not in action the valves 11, 12 return to the position for re-establishing the connection of the hydraulic motor 50 with the pump 6. British Specification 491,400, [Group XXXVIII], and U.S.A. Specification 1,695,601 are referred to.
