Title: Improvements relating to combined picture viewing and sound reproducing apparatus
IPC: G11B7/00
Filed: 1932-04-08
Abstract: 403,641. Combined picture-viewing and sound-reproducing apparatus. JONES, W. B., 38, South Dearborn Street, Chicago, U.S.A. April 8, 1932, No. 10103. [Class 40 (ii).] Picture - viewing and sound-reproducing apparatus for individual use comprises means for presenting to the view of the observer a picture record having a wide field of vision, in combination with means for enabling the observer at the same time to listen to the reproduction of " binaurally-phased " related sounds directionally related to appropriate origins in the picture. One form of such apparatus, embodying a stereoscopic picture viewing device, is shown in Fig. 4, a combined sound and picture film such as is shown in Fig. 3 being employed. The film 57, which has been produced by means subsequently described, (and which has corresponding right and left-eye views'of each picture R<1> L<1>, R<2> L<2> &c. appropriately spaced apart, as well as binaural sound records 25, 26 along the margins), is fed at a constant speed past sound reproducing means 56 and intermittently past two adjustably mounted optical systems 52, 53. Light sources 66, 67 illuminate simultaneously the corresponding pictures in each pair, so that magnified stereoscopic pictures are seen by an observer x. The sounds reproduced from the two records by the device 56, in conjunction with loud-speakers 54, 55 on either side of the observer, produce the effect of emanating from appropriate origins in the picture. The combined sound and picture record may be made by means of an apparatus (Fig. 1, not shown) in which lenses for stereoscopically photographing the pictures, and microphones used in conjunction with optical devices for making the binaural records, are mounted in a dummy head in positions approximating to the relative positions of eyes and ears in the human head. This arrangement may be modified by increasing the vertical distance between the horizontal plane of the lenses and of the microphones, in order to minimize the recording of noise from the film-driving mechanism. Fig. 8 shows another arrangement of pictures for stereoscopic effects, successive left-eye views L alternating with successive right-eye views R. The film is projected on to a screen 85, Fig. 7, and the pictures are viewed through apertures 89, 90, provided with a shutter 92. The shutter alternately opens and closes the apertures at the appropriate instants during the passage of the film. Coloured screens may be provided instead of shutters. Loud-speakers 93, 94 for reproducing the binaural records are located as shown. Instead of producing stereoscopic effects, ordinary motion pictures may be recorded ; the viewing-apparatus in this case consists of a cabinet containing a projection screen and having a front wall with an aperture for the observer, loud-speakers being located on either side.

Title: Improvements in or relating to pulsators for milking machines
IPC: A01J5/12
Filed: 1940-06-12
Abstract: 542,596. Cow-milkers. GASCOIGNES (READING), Ltd., GASCOIGNE, G. H., and KNOX, J. R. June 1.2, 1940, No. 10196. [Class 84] In the pulsator shown, the following movements occur:- (1) With the parts in the position shown in Fig. 1, the righthand side of the diaphragm 6 communicates with the atmosphere through passage 10, and the left-hand side communicates with the vacuum tube 14 via passage 13, cylinder 3 and pipe 22. The diaphragm therefore moves to the left, as shown in Fig. 2. (2) Movement of diaphragm 6 uncovers port 16 and places space A under vacuum, via tube 14, cylinder 2, port 16 and pipe 23. The left-hand end of the piston 9 communicates with the atmosphere by port 11. Diaphragm 7 therefore moves to the right. (3) As diaphragm 7 moves to the right it uncovers port 17 and admits air, to the space B via port 11, cylinder 3, port 17 and pipe 22. The right-hand side of piston 8 is under vacuum, so diaphragm 6 returns to the position shown in Fig. 1. (4) As diaphragm 6 returns it uncovers port 16 and admits air to space -A via passage 10, cylinder 2, port 16 and pipe 23. The left-hand side of the diaphragm 7 is under vacuum, so - the diaphragm moves back to the. position shown in Fig. 1. These movements produce alternate vacuum and atmospheric pressure in the cylinders 2, 3, to which the teat cup tubes 20, 21 are connected.

Abstract: 1,123,454. Forging. PROLIZENZ A.G. 9 March, 1966 [9 March, 1965], No. 10347/66. Heading B3H. A strip swaging machine reduces the thickness of strip moving transversely between a pair of synchronously reciprocated pistons 11 carrying dies 10, the pistons being moved towards each other by fluid pressure generated in chambers 17 and 14 by plungers 18. The plungers reciprocate within oscillating bearings 20 by virtue of their eccentric mounting on rotating shafts 22. The pistons are urged apart by springs 15 or by appropriate hydraulic or pneumatic mechanisms. Hydraulic fluid is pumped into the chambers 17 by a pump 36 through non-return valves 38 and 39 or 54, excess pressure being released by valves 40 and 37. An hydraulic accumulator 55 may be provided, if desired. Lines 52 return the fluid, which also acts as a lubricant, from the bearings 22. The dies 10 are provided with adjustable stops 28 and 29 to limit their movement towards each other, and are shaped (Fig. 3, not shown) to produce step-by-step reduction in the thickness of a strip. Cooling channels are provided in the die supports. The strip may be fed to the machine directly from a continuous strip casting unit. When wide strip of, for example, 1000 mm. width is swaged the pistons 11 may be formed with oval cross-sections.

Abstract: A heat-curable composition is made by introducing into a silicone gum convertible by heat to the solid, elastic state a zeolitic molecular sieve containing an organic peroxidic curing agent adsorbed therein. Zeolitic molecular sieves, natural and synthetic, are metalaluminium-silicates having a crystal structure such that the large sorption area inside each crystal is accessible only through pores of uniform dimensions and molecular size.  Siloxane gums specified contain alkyl, aryl and alkenyl radicals.  Curing agents specified are acyl peroxides, alkyl perbenzoates, e.g. t-butyl perbenzoate and dialkyl peroxides, e.g. di-t-butyl-, t - butyl - triethylmethyl - and t - butyl - t-triptyl-peroxides.  In Examples (1, 2, 5) di-t-butyl peroxide is absorbed in vapour phase on zeolite X; (3, 4) a silica filler is compounded with a viscous dimethyl-ethylvinyl-siloxane copolymer, the curing agent of (1) is incorporated therein by milling and the resulting composition is then cured in a mould; (6) the effectiveness of a volatile curing agent adsorbed on a molecular sieve is compared with that of the same curing agent used in conventional manner.
