Title: Improvements in and relating to means for selecting electrical signals or impulses particularly for television
IPC: H04N5/08
Filed: 1940-03-06
Abstract: 534,548. Television. LOEWE RADIO CO., Ltd. (Schlesinger, K.). March 6, 1940, No. 4239. [Class 40 (iii)] Television frame and line synchronizing pulses are separated from the vision signal and from each other by means of a multi-section filter network each section of which comprises a resistance and a uni-directional conducting device. These uni-directional devices may be separate thermionic valves or may be combined in one multi-electrode valve. As shown in Fig. 6, the television signal coming from a receiver 1 is applied to a cathode-ray image reproducer 3 and also to a filter network constituted by the resistances r in association with the double-diode triode valve 4, which separates the synchronizing pulses from the vision signals and feeds the pulses to a line-synchronizing saw-tooth generator Sx. The pulses are also fed through a transformation circuit 8, 9 to a second double-diode triode valve 10 forming a filter network with resistances r. The transformation circuit converts the wider frame pulses into pulses of greater amplitude, and the filter circuit separates these to feed the frame synchronizing saw-tooth generator Sy. Before reaching the saw-tooth generators Sx, Sy, the pulses, which are square-topped, are passed through time-constant circuits 12, 13 and 121, 131, which preserve the steepness of the fronts of the pulses but sharpen these fronts at their top.

Abstract: 1413263 Friction stabilizer J J SCOTT 30 Jan 1974 [9 Feb 1973 4 Jan 1974] 4364/74 Heading F2H A friction stabilizer for anchoring a structure such as a roof or side wall of a mine shaft comprises a resilient tubular member 12 provided with a slot 14, the ratio of the length of the member to its outer diameter being at least 16 to 1, the ratio of its thickness to its outer diameter being at a maximum 1 to 5 and at a minimum 1 to 50, and the outer circumferential dimension being at least 2 inches. In use, the stabilizer is inserted in a bore of lesser diameter, (Fig. 3, not shown). The outer surface of the stabilizer may be coated with an epoxy resin or may be roughened to enhance frictional engagement with the walls of the bore. The stabilizer may be subjected to tension after installation in the bore by driving a wedge pin through aligned openings at an end of the stabilizer which projects from the bore, (Fig. 5, not shown). The pin may bear on an annular plate located over the end of the stabilizer. The outer diameter of the leading end of the tubular member may be of lesser outer diameter than the remainder of the member to facilitate insertion.

IPC: B27D1/08
Filed: 1916-03-25
Abstract: 104,927. Everett, E. P., and Pfister, J. March 25, 1916. Casks made from staves; materials, special; machines and apparatus for making staves. The staves of barrels, pails, or like coopered vessels are made from layers of " bogus," i.e., a material made from old newspapers, the layers being moistened with an adhesive and pressed into the desired form. In the apparatus shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the blank 1, consisting of a number of sheets of bogus, with liquid adhesive between the layers, is placed between curved dies 2, 3 pressed together by hand-screws 9. The crozes are formed by projections 10 on the upper die, corresponding recesses 25 being formed in the lower die if desired. The sides and ends of the dies are suitably inclined so that the projecting ends of the blank may be cut off at the required angles. Clamps 12 are used to hold the parts firmly in position so that the dies and blank may be placed in a drying-chamber, where the temperature is kept at about 150‹ F. for an hour or more. The sides are preferably trimmed by the use of rotary saws 16, Figs. 9, end clamps 21 on the dies sliding in a slot 22 in the table 23. In the machine shown in Figs. 11 and 12, bogus taken from rolls 39 is supplied with adhesive by rollers 42 and passes under pressure of rollers 43 over a table 41 provided with inclined slots 45, through which are passed knives to cut the sides of the staves to the required shape. The partly cut blank is then passed on to the dies 46<a>, 46<b>, the ends of the stave being cut by any suitable means. The beads may be of wood, or may be laminated in the same way as the staves, and are shaped by spherical dies provided with annular cutters for trimming the edges of the blanks. The hoops may be of annular waste pieces produced during the formation of the heads. To facilitate assembly and transport, the staves 49, Fig. 14, may be connected permanently or detachably by an adhesive tape 50 or the like attached to the convex sides of the staves.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the stabilizing of the wax-fat coatings of pharmaceutical forms
IPC: A61K9/50
Filed: 1964-02-03
Abstract: Compositions for coating pharmaceutical tablets, pellets and pills comprise a solution of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and a solid polyethylene glycol in a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent. Suitable glycols have a molecular weight of 1000 to 10,000, preferably of 2000 to 6000, and may comprise 1:1 to 9:1, or better, 2:1 to 6:1 with relation to the weight of polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Solvents used may be acetone, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, pet. ether, benzene, toluene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, trichloroethylene, ethylene-dichloride, trichloroethane with methylene chloride, or methyl-, ethyl-, or isopropyl alcohol, or mixtures of these. The dissolved solids may constitute 3 to 18% of the solution. The coating is applied by covering the tablets with the solution and evaporating off the solvent.ALSO:A method for stabilising the surface of wax-fat coated sustained release pharmaceutical tablets, pellets, or pills comprises covering the said forms with a solution of polyethylene glycol and polyvinylpyrrolidone in a volatile pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, and allowing them to dry.  The process is suitably performed in a coating pan, or using air suspension or fluid bed methods.  Polyethylene glycols used are solids, of M.W. of 1,000 to 10,000, preferably from 2,000 to 6,000, and are used in ratio 2 : 1 to 6 : 1 of the polyvinylpyrrolilone the finishing coat is suitably 0.25 to 5% by weight of the tablet, pill, or pellet.  The purpose of the coat is to preserve the original gloss and lustre of the wax coat on storage.  Examples are given of such coatings applied to sustained release forms containing as active ingredients 1) chlorpromazine hydrochloride and 2) chlorprophenpyridamine maleate.

Title: Improvements in and relating to rotary fluid meters
IPC: G01F15/07
Filed: 1934-02-12
Abstract: 417,759. Rotary meters. ZEMAN, M., 6, Stavitelska, Dejvice, Prague. Feb. 12, 1934, No. 4594. Convention date, Feb. 18, 1933. [Class 110 (ii).] The meter comprises a vane wheel 1 in which the motion of the vane wheel is transmitted to a recording mechanism through a clockwork movement. The rotor shaft 5 drives gears 4, 18, 6, Fig. 3. The wheel 6 has an eccentric groove 7 into which a finger fits. During rotation of the wheel 6, an oscillatory motion is imparted to a lever 9 attached to a shaft 11. At the other end of this shaft is attached a lever 19, Fig. 4, and its arm 34 is provided with a projective 36 fitting into a slot 37 in a lever 21. The latter is oscillated about a pivot 22 and through a pointer 23, actuates a forked lever which controls the escapement wheel of the clockwork movement. The spring 40, Fig. 2, for the latter is wound up by means of a knob 39. A shaft 30 carries a hand 28 which moves around a graduated dial 29. This shaft is connected with the clockwork movement through a clutch comprising a friction cone 24, and a wheel 25 on the shaft 30. At one end of the shaft 11, Fig. 2, is provided a valve 12 lightly pressed upon its seating by a spring 10. At the other end bushes and packing 15, 16, 17, are provided to prevent fluid entering the recording-mechanism chamber. Inside the vane wheel a cork float 2, Fig. 2, is provided which helps to support the wheel in the liquid being measured and thus decreases the load on the bearings. In the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 a modified arrangement is described in which the vanes have recesses co-operating with a projecting wall which extends around the rotor chamber except in the region between the inlet and outlet ports. In the inlet is provided a tongue pressed upon by the incoming fluid to control the flow. The tongue pivots about a shaft and is balanced by a weight. A toothed or friction segment is provided below the tongue, which is coupled to a pinion. The shaft of the latter carries a brake disc whose circumference is subjected to slight pressure by a spring. This subject-matter docs not appear in the Specification as accepted.
