Abstract: 990,874. Radiators for space heating. J. B. CURRY. Nov. 12, 1962 [Nov. 15, 1961], No. 40920/61. Heading F4S. A heat reflecting arrangement for a space heating radiator comprises at least one sheet of material, e.g. metal foil, having at least on one side a bright or polished heat reflecting surface, and means for attaching said sheet to a radiator whereby the sheet is positioned between the radiator and any surface which it is intended to screen, e.g. the wall behind the radiator. As shown, a sheet 1 of metal foil is secured at two opposite ends to rigid strips 2 which have holes at their opposite ends through which are bent ends of pliable strips 4. The opposite ends of the pliable strips 4 are bent round the ends of radiator 5, thus supporting the sheet 1 on the radiator. The sheet may be connected to strips 2 or the radiator 5 direct by an adhesive. When disconnected from the radiator the sheet may be rolled around one or both strips 2 (see Fig. 1, not shown) which will impart a corrugated form to the sheet. In a modification, one of the strips 2 is fitted with a ring and a length of wire or cord for ease of positioning the screen behind a radiator. Both sides of the sheet may be polished and two or more sheets may be provided in superposed relationship.

Title: Marine autopilot systems
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1970-08-28
Abstract: 1315506 Automatic steering control TOKYO KEIKI K K 28 Aug 1970 [30 Aug 1969] 41576/70 Heading G3R A marine auto-pilot system has provision for course changes to be initiated manually, such changes then being carried out automatically, at least one of the constants and functions of the auto-pilot system being altered and others eliminated upon generation of the manual initiating means. As described, a signal from a compass corresponding to the heading of a ship is compared with a signal representing a desired heading so that any difference is effective through a dead band device, a PID controller, a limiter, and a follow-up servo-system operating the rudder to correct the heading. An alarm is operated if the difference becomes excessive. In Fig. 3, to set the heading, a knob 24 is depressed to engage a clutch 27 and the input to a differential gear 28 rotated. The differential gear compares the set heading with the actual heading # transmitted from the gyro-compass through a synchro transmission 21, 22 so that any difference is effective through a synchro 23 to actuate the steering control system 30. Operation of knob 24 to change the heading causes actuation of a switch 26 so that a transistor multi-vibrator 32 is triggered to energize electro-magnetic or transistor relays 34 for a limited time period duringÀwhich the heading is being charged. Relays 34 may remove the dead band and limiter devices and the integral control term, alter the time constant of the differential control term and disable the alarm. A resistor 33 is adjusted in dependence on the magnitude of the difference between the set and actual heading so that the response of the control system is altered by relays 34 for a corresponding period. Modifications are described in which the alteration in response is initiated when the difference between the set and actual heading exceeds a predetermined value.

Title: Preparation of organo substituted phosphine imines
IPC: C07F9/535
Filed: 1962-11-05
Abstract: An organo-substituted phosphine imine of the type R3P = NR1 is obtained by reacting an organo-substituted aminophosphonium halide of the formula [R3.P.NH.R1]+X- wherein R is an organic substituent, each R being the same or different, R1 is an organic substituent or hydrogen and X is halogen with tetramethylguanidine in the presence of an inert solvent and under a moisture-free atmosphere and recovering the corresponding substituted phosphine imine from solution in the solvent.  The reaction is preferably carried out at between 60 DEG  C. and the boiling point of the solvent at atmospheric pressure, e.g. at between 60 DEG  and 130 DEG  C.  The isolation and any subsequent purification of the product should preferably be carried out in a moisture-free atmosphere, e.g. of nitrogen, argon or helium.  The R radicals in the above formulae may be monovalent, e.g. alkyl, phenyl, phenyl-alkyl, alkylphenyl, cyanoalkyl or alkenylphenyl, or two of the radicals R may be a divalent alkylene radical which forms a heterocyclic ring with the P atom to which it is attached, R1 may be hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl, a - or b -naphthyl, or alkylphenyl. Specified inert solvents are benzene, toluene, cyclohexane, chloroform chlorobenzene and carbon tetrachloride.  Examples are given for the production of triphenyl phosphine imine and the compound (C6H5)2P(CH2C6H5) = N.t-C4H9.
