A multi-position switch comprises a profiled track 25 and a ball which is stepped from one position on the track to another electrically. In each position the ball obstructs the passage of light through a bore 29 from a lamp 40 (e.g. incandescent lamp, neon tube or electroluminescent cell) to a photo-resistor or photo-diode in a bore 50. As shown, the ball is magnetic and lifted up the steep face of a division 25 to a position over the sloping face of that division when the electromagnet formed by polepieces 13, 18 is energized by current in a coil 15. On interruption of the current, the ball falls down the sloping face into the next position. The switch may be arranged to count impulses, and a plurality may be arranged so that every time the ball of one switch reaches a given position a pulse is applied to the next switch. If the movement of the ball in to one position controls the next movement, a cyclic switch for trafficlights results. Any number of balls may be used and some of the bores 50 may be without photo-cells. The ball may be stepped electrostatically.

Abstract: 1317428 Parametric mixers; delay lines; deflecting light INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 24 Sept 1971 [15 Oct 1970] 44580/71 Headings H3U and H4F A parametric acoustic surface wave mixer transducer comprises a narrow bandwidth interdigital transducer 12 driven at a pump frequency # p , also the transducer centre frequency, by source 24 at sufficient intensity to cause periodic fluctuations in the elastic constant of lithium niobate, or bismuth germanium oxide (B 12 GeO 20 ) substrate 2, and a broader bandwidth transducer 14 receiving signal information centred on its own centre frequency # o  from source 26. An output transducer 16, so spaced, by a distance (d c ), Fig. 6 (not shown), from the former transducers that the parametric action is substantially complete upon arrival at its location of the acoustic surface waves is dimensioned to receive the component of frequency # p + # s . Alternatively the downconverted component of frequency # p -# s  may be used. In Fig. 5 (not shown), the output transducer comprises a coherent light source (18) whose beam of light is reflected from the substrate 2 at an angle (#) proportional to the frequency of the acoustic surface wave and detected by photodetector (22), the angle changing with variation of the signal wave frequency w s . If the substrate is transparent, the detector may be mounted on the other side of it. A system using the auto-correlation technique for signal detection, utilizing a frequency modulated wave, whose frequency increases linearly in time, may comprise a pair of delay lines, each having a mixer transducer, and, by pumping one of them at frequency f p  with detection of the up-converted signal, and pumping the other at a higher frequency and detecting the downconverted signal, the respective outputs are time reversal replicas of each other. Such outputs can then be convolved with each other. A theoretical discussion is given. The electrodes are copper aluminium, or gold.

Abstract: 1,112,162 Electric selective signalling. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORPORATION. 22 Oct., 1965 [23 Oct., 1964; 31 Oct.. 1964], No. 44760/65. Heading G4H. A magnetic core circuit provides means for determining the lowest-numbered actuated switch of a series of switches. In the arrangement of Fig. 1 suppose switches S3, S4 and S6 of the series S1-S8 are closed. The switch contacts are connected to leads threading cores K8, K1-K6 as shown. The windings on the cores K1-K6 are so arranged that interrogation of cores K1, K3 and K5 in succession yields a binary number the inverse of which indicates the lowest-numbered switch. A clock pulse at E interrogates K1; since S3 and S4 are closed a pulse appears in winding SL, this block. ing the complementary core K2 and hence the SE5 and SE6 windings on K3 which is next interrogated. Since neither SE1 or SE2 is closed there is no output on SL and K3 is blocked. On interrogation of K5 a pulse appears on SL since SE3 is closed. The output on SL has thus been 101, the inverse 010 indicating decimal 3, i.e. SE3. By the use of groups of 10 cores, Fig. 3 (not shown) a decimal indication of the lowest actuated switch is obtained. A circuit which determines the first, second, third, etc., lowestnumbered actuated switch is described.

A multi-component mixture of organic compounds, e.g. tall oil, is heated for a short time in a film evaporator to remove very volatile material (light ends), the bulk of the mixture is next distilled over thereby separating it from heavy ends, and the distilled mixture is submitted to fractionation in one or more columns to separate it into at least two main fractions. In the case of tall oil, the mixture is fractionated to separate fatty acids and rosin acids using two columns. The bottoms from the first column may be returned to the second film evaporator. The removal of the light ends is preferably effected by heating the mixture to 180‹C for about 4 seconds. The vapours from the two film evaporators may be submitted to fractionation.
