Title: Gas cooling system for MRI scanner
Inventor: MANN NICHOLAS
IPC: F17C7/00
Filed: 2008-05-12
Abstract: A gas cooling system for a magnet in an MRI scanner features a dual function solenoid, or similar, valve 40. During normal operation, signals from a controller 30 operate the valve to vent cooling gas from a cryogen container 12. The valve is also spring biased 52 into a closed position. During conditions of excess overpressure the valve actuates under gas pressure alone against the spring bias 52, to open and vent the cryogen container. Under conditions of underpressure the spring bias 52 keeps the valve closed. The valve therefore has a dual function and operates both electrically and mechanically depending on pressure conditions internal to the cryogen container 12.

Title: Position determination of a seismic source array
Inventor: HOPPERSTAD JON-FREDRIK
IPC: G01V1/38
Filed: 2008-06-13
Abstract: A method of obtaining information about the positions of sources in a marine seismic source array, comprises: determining respective notional signatures formselected seismic sources, wherem , wherenis the number of sources of the array actuated to generate an output; and obtaining information about the travel between one of themselected seismic sources and one of then-munselected seismic sources from the determined notional signatures. Themseismic sources are selected as sources whose positions, relative to one another, are expected to be close to their nominal positions. The effect of then-munselected seismic sources is ignored in the calculation of the nominal signatures for themsources, and this gives rise to anomalies in the nominal signatures for the m sources. The determined travel time may be converted to a distance, so that information about the positions of then-munselected seismic sources may be obtained from the anomalies. Alternatively, the nominal signatures calculated for themsources may be compared with notional signatures calculated for an estimate of the actual positions of the sources. The invention allows information about the actual geometry of the source array to be obtained from near-field measurements, so avoiding the need for a separate position-determining means.

Title: Manufacture of benzene-sulphonimino derivatives
IPC: C07D277/52
Filed: 1941-08-12
Abstract: 557,037. Sulphonimido compounds. SOC. OF CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN BASLE. Aug. 12, 1941, Nos. 10230 and 10231. Convention dates, Nov. 22, 1940 and April 16, 1941. [Class 2 (iii)] Benzenesulphonimino compounds are prepared by reacting a benzenesulphonic acid or reactive derivative thereof containing in the p-position an amino group or group convertible thereinto, with a thiazolone-imide having a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radicle as a substituent at the ring nitrogen. The p-substituent convertible into an amino group is an acylamino, nitro, azo or hydrazo group or a halogen atom or a carboxylic acid amide or carbalkoxy group, and the product containing it may subsequently be treated to convert it into the amino group. As thiazoloneimides may be used 3-alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl-thiazolone-(2)-imides, or such derivatives as the 4- or 5-alkyl and 4- or 5-carboxyalkyl derivatives. Examples are given of the treatment of 2-aminothiazole with allyl bromide, benzyl chloride, ethyl monochloracetate, ethylene iodohydrin and methyl iodide or other methylating agent to produce the corresponding 3-substituted-thiazolone-(2)- imide, and reacting the product with acetylsulphanilyl chloride followed by hydrolysis, to produce 2 - (p - aminobenzenesulphonimino)- thiazolines containing the appropriate 3-substituent. Further examples of the interaction of 3-methyl and 3-allylthiazolone-(2)-imides with p-nitrobenzenesulphochloride and the hydrolyses of the resulting compounds to 2-(pnitrobenzenesulphonimino)-3-methyl and allylthiazolines are also given ; reduction of the 3- allyl product with iron yields the p-amino compound, whilst catalytic reduction with the aid of nickel gives rise to 2-(p-aminobenzenesulphonimino)-3-propyl-thiazoline ; catalytic reduction of the 3-methyl product produces 2-(paminobenzenesulphonimino)-3 - methyl - thiazoline. A number of products are listed in which the p-substituent is amino, acetylamino or nitro, and the N-substituent is ethyl, n- and iso-propyl, n-butyl, n-dodecyl, n-hexadecyl, -CH 2 .CH 2 .N(C 2 H 5 ). 2  or -CH 2 .CO.N(C 2 H 5 ) 2 . The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes the treatment of any heterocyclic imide, including pyridone imides, which are substituted at the ring nitrogen. If the N-substituent, which includes acyl residues, is capable of being split off, the removal may be effected, whereby benzenesulphonamides are obtained. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1971-04-20
Abstract: 1345381 Photo-electric measurement of displacement THOMSON-CSF 20 April 1971 [21 April 1970] 10257/71 Heading H4D [Also in Divisions G1 and G5] In an arrangement for measuring the displacement of a carriage along a bench, movements of a stage mounted on the carriage in any direction other than the axis of translation are detected and used to correct the attitude of the stage. A laser L provides a beam of radiation F defining the axis of translation and prisms 2, 3 and semi-reflector 4 mounted on stage 13 form a Michelson interferometer by which displacements of carriage 6 along the axis are measured by counting fringes passing across detector 5. The orientation of stage 13, supported by piezoelectric ceramic stacks 14, 15, 22 on main carriage element 6, is sensed by three photo-cell arrangements 7, 8, 18 mounted on the stage. Those 7 and 8 receive light from beam F reflected from respective semireflectors 9, 10 while that 18 receives light from subsidiary beam 21 formed via semireflector 19 and mirror 20. The photo-cell arrangements 7, 8, 18 may each comprise a pair of semicircular cells or four quadrants and develop error signals in accordance with angular displacement out of parallel with axis F and cause corresponding rotation of the slide 13 in the XZ plane (detectors 7, 8) and the YZ plane (detector 18) by means of the ceramic transducers 14, 15, and 22. Orientations of beam F which might occur are detected by a four-sector detector 23 which realigns the beam by control on device 25. In a system in which displacements along both X and Y directions are to be measured, when a Y system is mounted on the X carriage, Fig. 3 (not shown) the above correcting arrangement can be used for both X and Y stages. Applications include high precision machine tools, sub-miniature circuit manufacture (masks), XYZ plotter devices.

Filed: 1940-06-14
Abstract: 541,385. Packeting. ROSE. A. G., and ROSE BROS. (GAINSBOROUGH). Ltd. June 14, 1940. No. 10335. [Class 94 (i)] Relates to apparatus for closing and sealing. fibre or cardboard boxes or like containers, and particularly to means for supporting the inside flaps at the bottom of a container while the outside flaps are spread out and gummed in preparation for the final sealing of the base of the container. According to the invention a base-supporting member is formed with a movable nose portion to ensure that the inner flaps remain in their closed position as they pass on to the supporting member. The filled containers 11, Figs. 1 and 2, having their bottom flaps loosely folded, are placed on a feed belt 12 which carries them forward against a stop 23 whence they are released, one at a time, by a transverse pusher 24. The container thus released is deposited on two sets of inclined rollers 17 disposed in the tracks of conveyer chains 18 which are connected by transverse pusher bars 19. A container, as it moves along the rollers 17, is engaged by a pusher 19 and is carried forward between pairs of inclined rollers 26, 27 which nip the base of the container and cause the outer flaps to buckle downwards and form a gap 38, Fig. 4, between themselves and the forward edge 39 of the container. Further forward movement of the container carries it on to a base-supporting member 31 which enters the gap 38. The nose portion 41 of the support 31 is attached to the support by a leaf spring 43, and the upper surface of the nose 41 is inclined upwards from front to rear which lies above the general level of the support. As the container moves forward, the edge 39 moves the nose portion 41 downwards, so that as the rear flap 46 passes the rollers 26, 27 and is buckled downwards, it strikes the inclined upper surface of the nose 41 and is guided back to its normal position as it moves out of the influence of the rollers 26, 27.
