Patent GB-2466764-A (GB)
Title: Plural frequency electromagnetic surveying
Inventor: MAAO FRANK AGNAR
IPC: G01V3/12
Filed: 2008-10-02
Abstract: A method for measuring an enhanced electromagnetic field response, especially in a submarine environment, for the purposes of subsurface data acquisition and processing. An electromagnetic field is applied to subterranean strata at two or more different frequencies, a response at each frequency is detected, and the responses at different frequencies are resolved. The differences in the phase and/or amplitude of the responses are analysed and the nature of the strata is determined. The same method can be used to determine the hydrocarbon content of a reservoir via the use of a borehole.

Title: Halogen incandescent lamp with safety coating
Inventor: DAMM MATTHIAS
IPC: H01K1/02
Filed: 2009-11-25
Abstract: A halogen incandescent lamp or light 1 includes a luminous element or filament 4, filled with a halogen-containing additive, the halogen being iodine and/or bromine. At least part of the interior of the bulb is coated with a layer 11; this layer comprises alkali or alkaline earth metal compounds, such as bromides, chlorides, fluorides, oxides and sulphides/sulfides; for example, magnesium fluoride, magnesium chloride, calcium fluoride or polyfluoroethylene.

The purpose is to prevent devitrification or explosion of the bulb. The layer may have a thickness of between 100 and 1000nm, and may be covered with a protective silicon dioxide layer. The layer may also be arranged in a patch or ring surrounding the envelope of the bulb. The layer may be transparent, locally transparent, translucent or scattering. The lamp may be operated at a line voltage of 80 to 250V.

A slow-closing valve comprises a main closure member 14 coacting with a resilient seat 21 and carrying a resilient seat 22 for a pilot valve member 24 which can be raised, against the force of a spring 25, by a finger grip 26 to release fluid from a chamber 31 to enable inlet pressure acting on an enlargement 13 to open the main valve member. The rate at which the valve closes after release of the pilot valve is determined by the rate at which fluid from the inlet can enter the chamber 31 through an adjustable needle valve 30. Control of the rate of opening can be effected by varying the diameter of a downward extension 33 of the pilot valve spindle that passes through the valve seat 22. The main valve member has a ported skirt 15 projecting into the outlet.

Title: Process for the conversion of hydrocarbon mixtures
IPC: C07C1/04
Filed: 1937-04-09
Abstract: <PICT:0495477/III/1> Normally liquid or solid hydrocarbon materials of predominantly paraffinic character, e.g. a paraffin base stock containing hydrocarbon wax or a paraffinic hydrocarbon distillate, are converted into olefinic products suitable for polymerization into lubricating stocks by vaporizing the hydrocarbon materials and immediately without separation subjecting the vapours to cracking in a plurality of parallel connected tubular elements directly connected to the tubular vaporizing zone in which additional heat is supplied to produce substantial yields of olefines, abruptly reducing the temperature of the cracked products by direct contact with a cooling fluid, and recovering the olefinic products by fractional condensation.  Crude material with or without passage through the lower evaporating zone 49 of a tower 47 is passed through a vaporizing coil 10, where it is preferably mixed with superheated steam from a coil 13, to a series of parallel connected tubular cracking coils 19.  The cracked vapours are passed through lines 26, 28, in which they are cooled by water from a separator 55 fed through line 59 and by crude oil fed through lines 6, 106, to a flash chamber 42 from which residuum is removed through cooler 33 to receiver 36, part of the residuum being recirculated through line 40.  The separated vapours flow through line 45 into the evaporator 49 and together with vaporized fractions of the crude oil pass into the upper fractionating zone 48 of the tower 47 from which the desired lightfractions are taken through line 51 and cooler 53 to separator 55.  Reflux collecting on the plate 50 together with part of the bottoms from the evaporator 49 are recycled through lines 93, 96 to the coil 10 or the evaporator 42, or may be fed through a cooler 981 to a tank 100 from which they are fed to the evaporator 49 as required. The remainder of the bottoms from the evaporator are drawn off through cooler 73 to receiver 76 and pumped (a) through line 82 back to the evaporator, (b) through line 83 into the flash chamber 42, (c) through line 83 to mix with the cracked vapours in line 28.

Abstract: 900,321. Copy - milling. HAYES ENGINEERS (LEEDS) Ltd. March 8, 1960 [March 25, 1959], No. 10346/59. Class 83 (3). A copying machine-tool comprises a tracer 6 controlling valves 2, 3, one of which controls an hydraulic device 8 and the other of which controls a servo-valve 14 which itself controls a separate supply of pressure fluid to a second hydraulic device 24. The tracer 6 is carried by the valve 2 which is in contact with the valve 3 which controls the piston unit 8 controlling the movements of the table or tool for depth of cut. Pressure is supplied to the valves by a line 11 and exhaust is via lines 12. Lines 9 from the valve 2 lead to an inlet 13 of the servo-valve and a throttle 9b. Exhaust from the servo-valve 14 is via a port 20 when the valve 16 is moved against a spring 18. Pressure is supplied to the servo-valve through a port 21 whence it may be supplied to: the table-traversing piston unit 24 through a port 22, under the control of a valveport 31 adjustable along a screw thread 33 and having a tapered land 35. Thus, movement of the tracer 6 controls the flow to the traversing unit 24 by moving the valve part 31 axially. The valves 2, 3 may be in one or more parts and may be of different diameters.

Abstract: 683,367. Electric indicating systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. May 3, 1951, No. 10399/51. Class 40 (i). An electromagnetic pressure responsive unit for an engine indicator comprises a rigid tubular body 1 e.g. of steel, having a permanent magnet 7 having adjacent wound poles 10 and a steel diaphragm 4 adjacent the pole pieces clamped to the body of an adaptor 2 channelled as at 18 to admit the cylinder gases to the diaphragm. The permanent magnet 7 which may be in two pieces Fig. 4 (not shown) is held in the body against a spacing collar 9 by a shank 8 and screwed cap 6 which houses an electric socket 14 for connecting the coils 13 to the measuring circuit by way of a two pin plug 15 held by a further end cap 16. The spacing of the diaphragm 4 from the pole faces is determined by the thickness of the spacing collar 9 and vibration of the pole pieces is prevented by securing thereto an end flange 10a of non- magnetic material. Soft iron pole pieces may be fitted to the permanent magnet or the pole pieces alone may be softened prior to magnetization. The whole magnet may alternatively be tempered between 400‹C. and 500‹C., before magnetization.

Abstract: The handle, crush resistance, liveliness and amount of crimp of fabrics containing fibres composed of at least 90% by weight of an optically active form of poly-gamma-methyl glutamate or poly-gamma-ethyl glutamate are improved by treating the fabrics while free from creases and free from tension with a swelling agent for the fibres for a period of time sufficient to cause the fibres to swell and then removing the swelling agent from the fabric.  Specified swelling agents are chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, e.g. chloroform, methylene chloride and trichlorethylene, ketones, e.g. acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, phenolic compounds, e.g. phenol, catechol, resorcinol and cresols such as cresylic acid, dimethyl formamide, formic acid and acetic anhydride and mixtures thereof. Swelling agents which are liquid at ordinary temperatures may be applied as such but the swelling agents may also be used in the form of aqueous solutions or solutions in a liquid swelling agent.  The fabric may be treated with the swelling agent at ordinary temperatures or temperatures of 20 DEG -40 DEG C. for 15-45 minutes and the swelling agent removed either by drying in the case of a volatile swelling agent or by rinsing in water followed by drying. The fabric may subsequently be calendered.
