Title: Improvements in or relating to sealing containers
Inventor: COOKSON HAROLD
IPC: B65B31/00
Filed: 1962-12-14
Abstract: 1,027,183. Sealing filled containers. METAL BOX CO. Ltd. Nov. 27, 1963 [Dec. 14, 1962], No. 47344/62. Headings B8C and B8T. An apparatus for closuring filled thermoplastics containers and for creating a positive pressure therein so as to prevent panelling comprises a support member 1 vertically movable relative to a pad 6, and a sealing head 27. The support member and sealing head are movable about a central column 28. In operation a roller 17 engaging a raised portion of cam 18 causes the support member with a container thereon to be moved upwardly. During the upward movement a suction is applied to the container bottom (Fig. 8, not shown), and a sealing disc 37 having a heat sealable coating is positioned over the mouth of the container. The container mouth is then introduced into the sealing head and is sealed. Upon lowering the container and support member the suction remains applied to the container bottom. After a cooling period the suction is released. The application of the suction or vacuum is controlled by two bores 10, 14 in relatively movable amounts 11, 13 respectively. A vacuum is applied to the fixed annulus 13 by pump 16 and is applied via bore 10, when the bores 10, 14 are in register, and further bores 9, 8 to the container bottom. The annulus 11 rotates about column 28 together with the support member. The sealing head comprises a heated annular plate 25 movable within housing 26 against the action of a spring 29. Should the apparatus be stopped while a container is in the closuring position (Fig. 9, not shown) the cam 18 is pivoted about pin 20 by a pneumatic cylinder 24 to a position in which the container is lowered out of relation with the sealing head. The apparatus may also include an output star-wheel having cooling fingers associated therewith, which fingers are pressed into engagement with the top of the sealed containers (Fig. 11, not shown). The apparatus may be used with a sealing head arranged to apply screw caps to containers. The sealing head can be adapted to receive containers of different heights.

Title: Data transmission systems

Filed: 1963-12-02
Abstract: 1,009,492. Telegraphy; pulse modulation systems. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Dec. 2, 1963 [Dec. 18, 1962], No. 47451/63. Headings H4L and H4P. In a data transmission system in which the transmission path causes distortion, a test pulse is sent over the path and a waveform approximating to the received distorted test pulse is derived, the time reversed form of this waveform being transmitted for each pulse from the data source. The transmission path so distorts this waveform that it is received as a pulse of the same shape as the pulse from the source. If the distortion is the same in both directions, when station A, Fig. 1, has data to transmit it informs station B which returns a square pulse b. This is received distorted and spread over several bit periods, as c. It is recorded on a drum 20 which is then reversed to give a time reversed representation d of the distorted waveform c. When a data pulse a is to be transmitted, waveform d is sent over the transmission path. It arrives at the receiver as square wave e. In the case of an asymmetric path, square pulse b, Fig. 3, is transmitted, being received as c. The received waveform is sampled and the samples quantized, the resultant signals f being sent at low speed to A where they are stored and act on a digital to analog converter. Data pulses a are converted to the time reversed analog waveform d and arrive at B as e. Alternatively, the received distorted pulse is compared at B with a number of preset waveforms and the serial number of the one nearest in shape to the distorted pulse is returned to A, where a corresponding waveform is selected and transmitted for each data pulse. Specification 1,009,493 is referred to.
