Patent GB-1257379-A (GB)
IPC: F21S10/06
Filed: 1969-06-27
Abstract: 1,257,379. Light fixture. W. B. BIRCH. 27 June, 1969, No. 32655/69. Heading F4R. Also in Division H1] An ornamental light fixture comprises a transparent enclosure 14 containing a number of light bulbs 28 with filaments 30 of various configurations whose light intensity is varied in response to variations in an audio signal, the bulbs being mounted on rods 42 in a plate 38 which revolves on a shaft 36, the rods 42 being caused to ride on a track on a disc 48 which is tilted to make them oscillate up and down as the plate 38 revolves. Springs 64 between the bulbs 28 and rods 42 allow the bulbs to rock randomly from side to side while lenses 18 project images of those lamp filaments passing their foci into the surrounding environment, these images blurring and fading in a random manner as the lamps revolve. The angular position of the disc 48 can be adjusted to vary the oscillatory displacement of the rods 42 and bulbs 28. In a second embodiment, Fig. 24 (not shown), the springs 64 are replaced by sprung arms supporting the light bulb sockets and riding at their free ends on top of rods 42. In another embodiment, Fig. 21 (not shown), the light bulbs are mounted in sockets eccentrically fixed to gear-wheels forming part of a sun and planet system so that each filament has two orbital movements about different axes, but in this case there is no up and down movement. In a further embodiment, Fig. 25 (not shown), a plurality of lamp filaments are enclosed in a single linearly extending or annular envelope, and the filaments are switched by reed switches actuated by the audio signal, and the filaments are vibrated magnetically. In a still further embodiment, Fig. 29 (not shown), the light bulbs are moved up and down in an arc, whilst they are revolving about the central axis of the fixture, by linkages having weights acted upon by centrifugal forces. The speed of rotation and thus the position of the bulbs can be controlled by a discriminator amplifier controlled by an audio signal.

Abstract: 1,259,443. Filling cartons. AKERLUND & RAUSING AB. 15 June, 1970 [20 June, 1969], No. 28923/70. Heading B8C. Cartons 11 to be filled from a nozzle at a station 12 have their front and rear walls 16 and 16a pressed together by fingers 36 so that a side wall 14 is bowed outwardly to facilitate the filling operation. The cartons are moved in a U- shaped path by holders 31 supported on an endless carrier comprising a pair of chains (25), 26 trained around lower and upper driven sprocket wheels (27), 28 journalled on a frame 29. The cartons are radially restrained in the curved part of the path by a rail 34. The fingers 36 rotate with the upper sprocket wheel 25, and the gripping action of each pair of fingers on a carton is accomplished by a fixed eccentric cam track 47 engaged by a follower 46 which is connected to the fingers by links 44 and 45. Adjacent fingers of adjacent pairs of fingers are pivoted on the same pin to minimize the total number of pivots required. The carton side walls may be appropriately stressed during manufacture so that they have a natural tendency to bow outwardly when the front and rear walls are pressed together. The cartons may be filled with strawberries and their juice.

Abstract: 1,266,537. Safety devices for boilers. ESSO RESEARCH & ENG. CO. 21 May, 1969 [11 June, 1968], No. 25973/69. Heading F4B. [Also in Division G1] A safety control device, used to activate a switch to cut off the heating means in a boiler when the water in the boiler sinks to an undesirable level, comprises a motal-cored probe 1 provided with insulation 2 and supported in a housing 3; and a calming chamber 4 at the lower end of the housing 3 having an orifice 14 in communication with the boiler. When the device is fitted to a ships' boiler, the dimensions of the orifice 14 will be such that during the pitching or rolling cycle of the ship water will flow through the orifice but will not sink below the safe water level 15 when there is sufficient water in the boiler for safe operation, the outflow from the chamber 4 being sufficiently delayed. When the water in the boiler sinks below the safe level 15 and thus below the tip 17 of the probe 1, the resistance in the closed electrical circuit, (only connectors 5 and 6 being shown), will rise and activate a heating control switch to cause it to move to the off position.

Abstract: 1290837 Rolling GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 17 April 1970 [16 May 1969] 18424/70 Heading B3M A method of cooling metal strip in a rolling mill as the strip traverses a runout table 24 at varying velocities comprises determining by the use of a computer 40 (a) the residence times for each of contiguous sections of the strip on the runout table (b) the number of sprays 36 required to cool each of the contiguous sections from a finishing train temperature to a desired coiling temperature as a function of residence times and (c) altering the number of sprays applied to the strip in a sequence coinciding with the movement of the sections across the runout table so that each of the contiguous sections is subjected to the number of sprays determined to be required for that particular section. The head of the strip traverses the runout table 24 at a velocity V L  until it is picked-up by a coiler 26 after which the velocity of the strip is accelerated to a speed V U . When the strip is detected by sensor 48, the number of sprays N L  and N U  required at the velocities V L  and V U  are determined from temperature curves as a function of a desired temperature drop. Since the control spray pattern is a function of the strip temperature at the end of finishing train 22 but is calculated before the strip reaches that point, the strip temperature is measured by pyrometer 42 so that knowing the thermal conditions, the temperature at the end of the finishing train is predicted. The desired coiling temperature is established by means of an auxiliary input 41. When the strip head reaches stand F5, a pulse tachometer 54 begins to monitor both strip velocity and the elapsed distance travelled by the strip head. Spray pattern and timing calculations are initiated for the remainder of the strip when the head end is sensed by thickness gauge 52. As the head end of each succeeding section of the strip is identified at stand F5 by the pulse tachometer 54, the residence time of that section is predicted from velocity time profiles. The length of the spray pattern and the timing of the action signals are calculated for the section at stand F5, based on the velocity profile of the strip as it then exits. When the tail end of the strip is detected by a load sensor 50, a mill slowing down procedure is initiated and final turn off time for the sprays which have been on for the last strip section are calculated at this time. As the tail end of the strip passes thickness gauge 52, the pulse tachometer 56 monitors the strip velocity as the tail end traverses the runout table.

Title: Nucleic acid amplification by two enzyme self-sustained sequence replication
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1991-11-12
Abstract: Novel methods are provided for nucleic acid amplification by continuous, substantially isothermal, self-sustained sequence replication ("3SR") utilizing RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity, DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity, RNAse H activity and DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity. In one of the methods, before enzymatic activities can be provided by only two enzymes, a reverse transcriptase and a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The methods may employ two or three enzymes to provide the necessary enzymatic activities. Thus, in certain of the methods, an exogenous source of RNAse H, such as E. coli RNAse H, is employed in combination with a reverse transcriptase and a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. In other of the methods of the present invention, reaction media are employed in which the inherent RNAse H activity of retroviral reverse transcriptases is effective to provide high levels of amplification so that only two enzymes, reverse transcriptase and DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, are required. Novel compositions for carrying out the methods of the present invention are also provided.
