Patent EE-200000343-A (EE)
Inventor: HAGBERG HANS LENNART
IPC: H03K23/64
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: A multi-divide frequency divider, includes a chain of serially-connected frequency divider units, each responding to a first state of received control signals by using the reference clock signal to generate an output signal having a frequency that is the reference clock frequency divided by a first divisor, and each responding to a second state of the control signals by using the reference clock signal to generate an output signal having a frequency that is the reference clock frequency divided by a second divisor. The output signal may be supplied to a successor frequency divider unit in the chain. Division by the first and second divisors causes the frequency divider to respectively transition through first and second predetermined state sequences. Each frequency divider further responds to a third state of the control signals by initializing the frequency divider to an initial state that is common to both the first and second predetermined state sequences, whereby the frequency divider in the initial state is immediately responsive to subsequent application of the first state of the control signals, and is immediately responsive to subsequent application of the second state of the control signals. Receipt of a received swallow enable control signal having a predetermined value disables division by the second divisor. Each frequency divider further generates an output control signal having the predetermined value whenever the frequency divider is in the initial state.

Abstract: 12,011. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. May 14. Disulphonic acids of dinitroanthrarufin and of dinitroanthrachrysazin are preparing by first converting anthrarufin and anthrachrysazin into disulphonic acids by treatment with fuming sulphuric acid containing 2 per cent. of free sulphuric anhydride at about 100‹-120‹ C., and then diluting with sulphuric acid of 60‹ BÚ. and adding a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acids, while the temperature is kept at 20‹-30‹C. The precipitate obtained upon cooling is dissolved in hot water and by addition of potassium chloride the potassium salt of the dinitro-disulphonic acid is obtained in the form of yellow crystals soluble in water. Dyes, artificial.-(1) Disulphonic acids of p-diamidoanthrarufin and of diamidoanthrachrysazin, which dye unmordanted wool in acid baths fast even blue shades, and chrome-mordanted fibres greenish-blue shades, are obtained as follows :- The foregoing potassium salts of the disulphonic acids of dinitroanthrarufin or of dinitroanthrachrysazin are reduced to the disulphonic acids of the corresponding diamido compounds by acting upon them with stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid. The new dyes separate as a gelatinous mass which is converted into a precipitate of fine needles by heating it upon a water bath. The dyes may also be produced upon the fibre by dyeing wool in an acid bath with the dinitrodisulpbonic acids and then impregnating the fibre with a suitable reducing-agent. (2) Monosulphonic acids of p-diamidoanthrarufin and of p-diamidoanthrachrysazin are produced by sulphonating the diamiclo compounds by heating them with a mixture of fuming sulphuric acid, containing 30 per cent. of free SO3, and boric acid at 100‹-130‹ C. The mixture, when cool, is poured.into a large quantity of water and boiled, and the precipitate is filtered off. The monosulphonic acids are similar in dyeing properties to the disulphonic acids.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Manufacture of Gas.
Inventor: WHEATLEY WILLIAM HUMPHREY
Filed: 1899-01-23
Granted: 1899-03-25
Abstract: 1585. Wheatley, W. H., [Hardy, H. H.]. Jan. 23. Oil stoves; burners.-Relates to apparatus for producing gas for lighting or heating purposes from gasoline. The gasoline tank A is provided with a filling-pipe U closed by a cap c, and having a projecting stud C' which serves to open a valve in the filler can. A needle-valve case c' communicates with the filler tube, and is secured to a tube c<2> communicating with an initial burner d which surrounds the stand-pipe D. The tube c<2> is slotted longitudinally, and is surrounded by a sleeve c<3> with corresponding slots which forms with an outer casing an air chamber. A bar c<5> connects the periphery of the air chamber to a toothed segment c<6>, secured on the stem c<7> of the needle valve so that the air supply is governed simultaneously with the operation of the needle valve. The stand-pipe D extends down to near the bottom of the tank A, and at the top terminates in a vaporizing-chamber D'. A float valve d<4> is provided within the pipe D, and also a stop d<5>; to prevent the float from coming into contact with the valve seating d<2>. A needle valve E regulates the passage of the vapour from the vaporizer D through the nipple e<3> to the mixing-chamber G. A pipe H passes from the vaporizer through the tank, and is connected to the pipe D just above the valve seating d<2>. A pipe d<6> leads from the vaporizer to a subsidiary burner d', and is provided with a valve arrangement d<7> similar to the one fitted to the filler tube. The mixing-chamber G for the air and gas is surrounded by a hot-air cylinder F. A funnel g is located over the nipple e<2>, so that the gas passing through the nipple into the funnel draws hot air from the chamber G before it passes to the supply pipe f. The stem e' of the needle valve E is provided with a handle e<3>, which moves over a graduated sector E'. An air pump B supplies compressed air to the tank A above the surface of the liquid. In operation,the pressure in the tank is sufficient to force a mixture of gasoline and air into the initial burner d, the heat from which raises the vapour in the pipe D and chamber D' to a pressure sufficient to force it and the air supply into the subsidiary burner d, where the mixture is ignited. The heat from the burner d' acts upon the vaporizing-chamber D', and a continuous supply of gas is generated. The initial burner may then be discontinued. If the liquid in the stand-pipe D rises too high, the float valve d<4> closes the passage. When an excess of pressure occurs in the chamber D', heated vapour may pass down the pipe H to heat the liquid in the tank A. A connection h may be used to supply vapour to a stove &c., instead of permitting it to flow down the pipe H.
