Adjustable flaps (e.g. 22, 23, Fig. 1) control the air supply to the shed space. The invention also comprises an arrangement and method in which the dust and gas laden air extracted from the shed (e.g. via a line 210) is scrubbed with water (e.g. in a vertical scrubber 213) before passing to the one or more blowers 233 of the extraction system. As shown in Fig. 6, the scrubbing tower 213 comprises nozzles 215 and 216 supplied with water from a vessel 218. At the upper level, the nozzles 215 provide an atomized water spray to saturate the dust and gas laden air entering the scrubber at 214. At the lower level larger dust &c particles are extracted from the air/gas by water droplets of relatively high density produced by nozzles 216. The scrubbed air/gas after passing through a cyclone 232, is discharged to atmosphere (via the one or more blowers 233) at 234. The scrubbing water after passing through a settling tank 220 is recirculated to the vessel 218 which serves also the water sprays of a coke-quenching tower 219.

Abstract: 1333479 Aerials SIEMENS AG 7 Dec 1971 [21 Dec 1970] 56714/71 Heading H4A A phase-controlled aerial system comprises a wall of radiators 9, Fig. 1, which are arranged in a plane in rows and columns. A central horn or other radiator 4, which is associated with a transmit/receive switch 3, a transmitter 1, and a receiver 2, emits a spherical wave 5. This is received by a wall of receptors 6, each of which is connected to a radiator through an element of a phase-shift device 7. A computer means 8 adjusts the individual phase-shift elements so that a substantially plane wave 10 is emitted by the radiators 9 in a required direction. The collimation or focusing part of the phase adjustment of an element is computed according to the equation, in which ## is the said phase adjustment for a radiator in a column and a row which are respectively defined by the co-ordinates (x, y), and a x , a y , b, c are parameters. The deflection part # a  of the phase adjustment, in the form α.x+#.y, is added to ## and there results an equation, for the row defined by the co-ordinate y. The parabolas corresponding to different values of y, given by the equation, and not all congruent. A single digital vertical computer 11, Fig. 2, which is controlled by radar means 20, determines the parameters K, L, Q for the lowest row and feeds them to a first digital horizontal computer 12, which sets up the phases of element stores 13 (one of which is assigned to each phase-shift element) of said row. The next switching pulse results in modified parameter values being fed from the first horizontal computer 12 to the next horizontal computer 12, which sets up the phases of element stores 13 of the next row up. The computers 12, and each row of element stores 13, are respectively connected together in shift register fashion, and the process is continued until all the element stores 13 have been filled. At the next switching pulse the stored phase values are available for adjustment of the phase-shift device elements. The basic circuit of a parabolic function generator wherein a plurality of coupled adders are provided which derive quadratic values by repeated additions is also described (Fig. 3, not shown).

Abstract: 1,211,719. Sealing covers to containers. SEITZ-WERKE G.m.b.H. 20 Dec., 1967 [21 Dec., 1966], No. 57748/67. Heading B8C. A plastics cover is sealed to a container mouth by plasticizing it, bringing the mouth into contact with it and then using vacuum to draw cover material extending beyond the mouth against the container neck or rim. In one embodiment, the container 10 is placed in a holder 14, initially resting on the base of a cylinder 13 and the cover 12, which may be part of a web or a separate disc, placed over the cylinder mouth. It is then secured by an annular clamp 18 and a heater is sited above it temporarily. The heater is replaced by a spring-loaded plate 20 and the holder 14 is raised to press the container against the film and the plate. As the holder rises a low pressure space 15 is created which is in communication with the space between the container rim and the film margin. The margin is therefore drawn against the rim. In another embodiment, the container 10a is supported on a plate 16 with its neck surrounded by an annulus 21 having a seal ring 26 abutting the container. Prior to positioning the container, a cover 12 is placed on the annulus and heated as before from beneath the latter. A chamber 18 seats on the annulus from above and contains a piston 28 having a hollow shaft 30 through which its interior communicates with the atmosphere. When the container is in position beneath the heated cover, the piston 28 descends, pushing the cover on to the container mouth and about its rim. In so doing, it creates a low pressure space behind it which communicates with the space 22 about the container neck, via passages 23, 24, 27. The cover material is thus drawn against the neck.
