Title: Bus-way
Inventor: PAL ANDREW
IPC: H02G5/06
Filed: 1965-06-29
Abstract: 1,087,605. Connecting bus-bars; supporting bus-bars. GEMES HOLDINGS PTY. Ltd. June 29, 1965, No. 27604/65. Headings H2C and H2E. Connections between bus-bars of small cross-section 14, 14A in adjacent sections of a conduit 11, 12 are made by male and female terminals at their ends. Insulating sleeves 21 and spacers on the single or paired through bolts 13 which hold the conduit together, support and insulate the assembled bus-bars, and when tightened force the terminals into pressure contact. Examples of terminal arrangements illustrated are annular two-part female flag contacts and U-shaped male ones, both mounted on ferrules on the bus-bar ends and shaped to fit over the through bolts (Fig. 4, not shown), off-set rod ends with riveted contact blades which form a female socket to hold the plain end of the other bus-bar (Fig. 5, not shown) and for round bus-bars resilient split trumpet sockets which serve the same purpose (Fig. 10, not shown). A round trunking in an optional form contains bar-shaped spacers which exert pressure on an array of such sockets when its through bolts are tightened.

A device for feeding workpieces of porous cloth from a pile 26 to automatic sewing apparatus comprises a pin 82A associated with suction means 82, and a feeder foot 70 housing a band 76 of adhesive material, the assembly moving in succession through the four positions shown, so that the front of a workpiece is first raised by the foot, then attracted to the suction means and engaged by the pin, and the workpiece is then moved sideways to feed rollers 78, 80. The pin is adjustable by a knob 82B. The preliminary lifting of the front edge may alternatively be by electrostatic or magnetic means (for cloth containing magnetic particles), or buckling by a backward pushing friction roller, or gripping with hooks. In another form, the adhesive is omitted and the suction device and pin is used alone. Workpieces can be similarly removed from the bottom or side of a pile.

After scouring, the liquid may be removed and replaced by a dilute soap solution together with an aqueous dispersion of rubber and a dye preferably composed of 75 per cent acid dye and 25 per cent direct dye.  Heating at 110 DEG  F. is continued till the dye is set, the latex being thereafter coagulated by the addition at intervals of a 5 per cent solution of potassium or ammonium alum.  Prior to the addition of the dye, small amounts of glycerine and pine oil may be added.  The latex may be compounded with casein and small amounts of a stabiliser, borax, sodium fluoride, zinc oxide, sulphur and glue.  Additionally the bath may contain small amounts of carbohydrates, gums, emulsified oils and setting agents.  Instead of alum, other coagulants may be employed, e.g. acetic acid, acetone, formaldehyde, logwood extract, tannic acid and salts such as calcium chloride.  After coagulation, the articles are freed from liquid and placed on heated forms.  Specific delustring effects are obtained by varying the nature and amount of the additions so as, for example, to deposit insoluble soaps in the fabric.  Insoluble compounds, for example barium sulphate, may be deposited on the fibres by adding barium chloride prior to the addition of the alum.ALSO:In the treatment of natural or artificial silk fabrics, such as stockings, with an aqueous dispersion of rubber, e.g. rubber latex, to produce a deposit of rubber on the fabric which is imperceptible to the sight and touch and prevents laddering &c., the stockings are first scoured in a soap solution heated to boiling.

Title: Improvements in and relating to position-control servo systems
Inventor: WEST JOHN CLIFFORD
IPC: G05D3/14
Filed: 1951-12-04
Abstract: 715,064. Electric follow-up systems. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Dec 3, 1952 [Dec. 4,.1951], No. 28454/51. Class 40 (1). In a coarse-and-fine positional control system the integral of the fine error signal is added algebraically to the coarse error signal to control the load driving servomotor, the integrating circuit having a time constant such that the integrator output becomes substantially equal to the coarse error signal magnitude only as alignment of the system is approached, and the integrator output magnitude being such that the resultant control signal does not reach zero until after the system is within half the range of the fine error detector from its alignment position. The fine error signal, derived e.g. from the usual fine transmitter and receiver Mag slips is fed through a transformer 18 to a phase sensitive rectifier 18-21, the output from which is applied to a Miller integrator 23. The time constant of the integrator 23 is determined by the magnitudes of the elements 22, 24 and its output is limited by connecting its anode to the common point of two diodes 25, 26, which restrict the anode voltage excursions to the range 80-120 volts. The integrator output is applied over a potentiometer 27, 28, 29 and a resistor 30 to an amplifier 14. The coarse signal after rectification in a similar phasesensitive rectifier is applied at 31 and fed to the amplifier input over a resistor 32. A stabilising direct-velocity-feed-back voltage derived e.g., from a tachogenerator driven by the servomotor is also fed at 33 to the amplifier 14 which controls the servomotor in the usual way.

Title: Digital data storage apparatus for methods employing the spin-echo technique
IPC: G11C11/16
Filed: 1954-10-04
Abstract: 795,057. Electric digital-data-storage apparatus. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Oct. 4,1954 [Oct. 7, 1953], No. 28496/54. Class 106 (1). In a method and an apparatus for the storage and recovery of information employing the spinecho or free nuclear induction technique (described in two articles by E. L. Hahn in the " Physical Review," November 15, 1950 (page 580) and in " Physics Today," November 1953 (page 5), respectively, both of which articles are referred to) the inhomogeneity of the magnetic polarizing field is varied to thereby reduce the power requirements. According to the spinecho technique if a sample 10 (water), Fig. 1, is placed in a constant inhomogeneous magnetic polarizing field and if two pulses of R.F. current (30 mc/s.), an information pulse. Fig. 3, and a recollection pulse at a time T1 after the information pulse, are passed through a coil 11 surrounding the sample, then at a time T2, where T2 = T1, after the recollection pulse an echo signal is induced in the coil 11. When several information pulses P1, P2, P3, Fig. 5, are applied to the sample, several echos S1, S2, S3 are produced, each echo being the " mirror image " of its information pulse in the recollection pulse. According to the invention the practical application of this technique to the storage and recovery of information is made possible by varying the inhomogeneity of the magnetic polarizing field by D.C. coils 13, 14, Fig. 1, in such a way that the sample is subjected to a very distorted field, Fig. 6B, at all times except during a recollection pulse during which the coils 13, 14 are not energized and the inhomogeneity is reduced to that due to the magnet 12 only.
