Title: Improvements in or relating to control devices for compressed air brakes
IPC: B60T15/50
Filed: 1952-12-23
Abstract: 712,470. Railway fluid pressure brakes. ATELIERS DES CHARMILLES SOC. ANON. Dec. 23, 1952 [Jan. 8, 1952], No. 32563/52. Class 103(1) In a triple or distributer valve for compressed air brakes for railway vehicles the equalizing valve unit AV is so constructed as to prevent overcharge of the control reservoir S. The valve unit comprises a central member 1 carried at one end on a diaphragm 2 subject to brake cylinder and atmospheric pressure in chambers 3 and 4 respectively. Its other end has a fluid-tight seal 6 with the housing and carries an extension 7 that bears upon a valve 8 that controls communication between chamber 12 at brake pipe pressure and a calibrated nozzle 14 leading to the control reservoir S. Normally spring 9 above diaphragm 2 depresses the valve member 1 sufficiently to keep valve 8 lifted off its seat 11. During a braking operation brake cylinder pressure acting below diaphragm 2 keeps the valve body 1 raised sufficiently to ensure that the spring 10 keeps valve member 8 seated and the control reservoir passage 14 is thus cut off from further charging.

Title: An improved method of uniting metals
IPC: H03B5/34
Filed: 1923-12-31
Abstract: 210,410. Metropolitan - Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Kasley, A. T.). Jan. 26, 1923, [Convention date]. Turbines.-In uniting turbine blades to rotors, the surfaces of the parts to be united are first impregnated with hydrogen and are then brought together and heated in the presence of an alloying metal. The turbine blade and rotor first form the cathodes of hydrogen-depositing electrolytic baths containing acids or salts in solution, such as borax or boracic acid, so that the hydrogen penetrates the metal and remains either as occluded gas or in the form of hydride or in both forms. The upper portion of the blade may be left out of the bath or coated with paraffin &c. The rotor 20, which as a groove 11 preferably with rounded corners 12, 13, and the blade 5, which has a tang 7 and an upset base portion 6 of smaller radius so as to leave a space for the insertion of a wire of copper, brass or other brazing material, are then placed in the position shown together with the brazing material and are then heated to cause the brazing material to flow freely. The parts are preferably previously coated with charcoal 14 or other reducing material. Zinc may be used as the uniting material to reduce the brazing heat required, or an alloy consisting of 90 per cent zinc, and 10 per cent copper when the turbine is to be used with superheated steam. The parts to be joined may be copper-plated.

Title: Inspecting radioactive fuel rods
IPC: G21C17/07
Filed: 1975-08-08
Abstract: 1509269 Inspecting nuclear fuel rods BABCOCK & WILCOX CO 8 Aug 1975 [10 March 1975] 33212/75 Heading G1A Apparatus for inspecting radio-active fuel rods comprises an energy-sensitive radiation detector mounted within a shield provided with a collimator, in combination with a group of fuel rods, and means for aligning the detector and collimator with at least a part of a specific fuel rod within the group. A cylindrical shield 16 made e.g. of iron has formed therein a narrow collimator passage 17  leading to an interior cavity 21 containing a highresolution Li-drifted Ge detector 22. The device is provided with electrical connections and with means for translation 23 and tilting (not shown), and may also include cooling means, e.g. liquid N2 in a Dewar flask. The collimator 17 is automatically or manually aligned with the ends of successive ones of an array of spaced fuel rods 11 mounted in grids 12 to constitute a fuel element 10 which in turn may be one of a plurality constituting a reactor core in use. Each rod 11, being a tube of e.g. Al, stainless steel or zirconium, contains a stack of fuel pellets, e.g. UO 2 , surmounted by a plenum sealed with an end cap for the accumulation of gaseous fission products, e.g. Xe<SP>133</SP>. A pulse-height analyzer and counter (not shown), connected to the detector 22, selects and counts 0À085 MeV γ-rays for a predetermined time to determine the Xe<SP>133</SP> concentration in the plenum, an insufficient count indicating that the gas has leaked out through a fault in the rod 11. To avoid background radiation from the fuel pellet stack, particularly after long exposure in the core, the device may be tilted at an acute angle, Fig. 2 (not shown), so that the line of view of the collimator 17 passes through as much as possible of the plenum but misses the top of the pellet stack.

It is knitted under a tension which stretched it an additional 25% of its maximum stretch. The whole stocking may be polyurethane or the welt toe and heel may be 100 denier multifilament stretch nylon or stretch or ordinary nylon mixed with polyurethane e.g. alternate courses. In a modification, stretch nylon yarn may be used for wrapping. Men's hose may be knitted from 70, 140 or 280 denier polyurethane wrapped with 40-70 denier nylon or stretch nylon.

Title: Recovery of magnesia and sulphur contained in sea-water and similar solutions
IPC: C01B17/06
Filed: 1945-12-11
Abstract: Sea water and similar solutions, advantageously after treatment with lime for the precipitation of magnesium hydroxide, are treated with baryta for the recovery of their sulphur content as barium sulphate. If the magnesium is not first removed, the hydroxide precipitates with the barium sulphate; the mixed precipitate is calcined for the removal of the sulphur, the soluble baryta thereupon being separated from the magnesia for re-use.  Precipitation of the magnesia and barium sulphate is preferably effected in the presence of previously obtained precipitates.  Specification 23642/02, [Class 1], is referred to.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also the treatment of the sea water &c., with barium carbonate, if desired, with injection of carbon dioxide, whereby a barium sulphate-calcium carbonate precipitate is obtained.
