Abstract: 1427132 Blasting, stimulating wells MOTOROLA Inc 10 Jan 1975 [7 Oct 1974] 1126/75 Heading E1F [Also in Division G4] A subterranean explosive charge is detonated by an electric triggering signal sent, via an acoustic confined path. The invention is applied to activating or rejuvenating dormant subterranean deposits of e.g. petroleum, gas, water or steam. An acoustic receiver is lowered into a well casing and is acoustically coupled to the lower end of a pipe string; the explosive is then pumped down through the pipe string toward the bottom of a bore hole; and an acoustic transmitter housing is next conveyed down the pipe string to a predetermined pipe joint containing a switch for actuating the transmitter which thereafter (immediately or after a pre-set delay) begins transmission of a preselected digital pulse codes for causing the receiver to initiate detonation. Transmitter, Fig. 2. As transmitter 16 passes section 34 retractable switch arms 36, 36' are urged inwardly to touch contacts 37, 37' thereby starting transmitter operation. A mating surface 40 prevents further downward movement of the transmitter; an acoustic coupled 19 provided for transmission via pipe string 10. Receiver/Detonator, Fig. 3. The receiver/detonator 14 is coupled mechanically to the end section of the pipe string 10 by a section 61 to which a piezo-electric receiving transducer 65 is coupled by fastener 67. A pressure sensitive element 79 causes receiver energization at a predetermined pressure and as a booster charge 91. General Circuit Arrangement, Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is largely self-explanatory. The encoder 102 is arranged to generate a signal different from periodic ambient signals e.g. from a pump motor; such signal may have a carrier frequency in the range 4-7 kHz, and be a five-millisecond pulse recurring every 200 milliseconds. A decoding circuit is described, Fig. 6 (not shown); it is arranged that a number, e.g. eight, successive pulses must be received before detonation can be initiated. The signal may alternatively be a periodic.

Abstract: <PICT:0853616/III/1> <PICT:0853616/III/2> Apparatus for coating plate- or strip-shaped articles with lacquer, in which the lacquer is circulated by a pump through a supply container, a quantity control device from which issues a flowing curtain of lacquer, and a collecting trough, is provided with an automatically-operating overflow air-removing means, the correct operation of which can be monitored in an outlet tube connecting the said means to the supply container.  As shown in Fig. 1, articles are fed from position 11 to position 111 by conveyers 22, 23, through a curtain 2 of lacquer issuing from a control device 4.  Excess lacquer falls on to an inclined plate 14 and is collected in a trough 13, after which it flows through a filter and falls on to inclined plates 26 in a supply container 16. It is then circulated by a variable-speed pump 8 through filters 18 and 19 and a pipe 17, to an overflow container 5, whence it passes through pipe 221 to the regulating arrangement 4. For avoiding over-pressure and discharging absorbed air, there is provided a further duct 9, in which a thermometer 33 is inserted, between the device 4 and container 5; air collecting in the latter can discharge through the tube 6, together with surplus lacquer which is collected in a funnel 7 and returned to the container 16 through duct 27.  In a modification, the air and surplus lacquer are not returned to the container 5, but pass directly from the device 4 to the container 16, through a system of ducts providing an open inspection point. The device 4, as shown in Fig. 3, comprises a housing containing shells 10, 11, which provide a gap 3, variable by one or more members 34, below, and sealed by members 12 above.  The lacquer entering through the duct 221 flows over plates 21.

Abstract: 786,076. Refrigerator alarms. HOTPOINT ELECTRIC APPLIANCE CO., Ltd. Jan. 17, 1956 [Jan. 17, 1955], No. 1382/55. Class 118 (1). An alarm apparatus for indicating variation of temperature in a refrigerator may be rendered inoperative, e.g. during starting of the refrigerator &c., by a resiliently mounted plunger 21 extending to the outside of the refrigerator, this alarm cancelling means being itself rendered inoperative when the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant reach predetermined values. In operation, when the temperature and pressure varies above or below the set values, a bellows 1 makes contacts 5, 6, and through contacts 9, 10 energizes a relay 7 which attracts an armature 12 pivoted at 13 and rings a bell 18. As the armature 12 is attracted, a contact 11 breaks the contacts 9, 10, thus the bell 18 rings continuously. To cancel the alarm the plunger 21 which has a magnetic tip 22 must be pressed until the tip 22 enters a hole 24 in the armature 12, this causing the armature, core 15, and tip 22 to hold together until the temperature returns to the set value and the contacts 5, 6 in the relay energizing circuit are separated by the bellows.

Title: Improvements in and relating to semi-conductor devices
Inventor: BEALE JULIAN ROBERT ANTHONY
IPC: B01J19/10
Filed: 1958-01-16
Abstract: 911,292. Semi-conductor devices. MULLARD Ltd. Jan. 14, 1959 [Jan. 16, 1958], No. 1561/58. Class 37. In the manufacture of a semi-conductor device, material is alloyed to the semi-conductor over an area, a narrow channel is cut in the resolidified alloying material extending at least to the recrystallized semi-conductor region, and then the assembly reheated to realloy the separate parts to the semi-conductor. Fig. 2 shows a P-type germanium crystal 1 to which an alloy of lead and 1% antimony was alloyed by heating in hydrogen at 700‹ C. for 3 minutes to form N-type regions 2a and 2b. Regions 3a, and 3b consist of resolidified lead and antimony and regions 5 consist of a thin N-type layer, beyond the interface produced by diffusion of the antimony during the alloying process. Slot 6 is then cut into region 1, for example by ultrasonic means with a slurry of aluminium oxide abrasive or by reciprocating a thin wire with abrasive, and the assembly then etched with hydrogen peroxide. Before or after etching, region 3b is coated by vacuum deposition or by means of a dispersion, with aluminium and the whole then heated for 10 minutes at 750‹ C. This results in the formation of P-type region 9b (Fig. 3), and a further N-type 9a region by an alloying process and the extension of the antimony diffused layer to form a well defined and extended N-type layer 12, since antimony diffuses more than aluminium. The lower portion below line 13 is then removed by an etching process and an alloy of indium and 1% gallium is alloyed to this region to form an ohmic contact 15 to the P- type region 1. Nickel wires 16, 18 and 19 (Fig. 5), are soldered to metallic regions 15, 3a and 3b to form the collector, base and emitter electrodes respectively of a transistor, the N- type diffused layer 12 constituting the base zone. While slot 5 is protected with a polystyrene layer, the device is electrolytically etched to remove part of the layer 12 and undercutting regions 3a, 3b and 15. The resulting transistor has low base resistance since base region 3a is near emitter region 3b, and low interelectrode capacitance. In an alternative arrangement, the electrodes are annular shaped. The semi-conductor material may consist of germanium, silicon, GaAs, InP or other AIII BV compound. Tin and bismuth may be used in place of lead. The invention may also be applied to a diode or a field effect transistor, and the semi-conductor may be poly- or mono-crystalline.
