Title: Prevention of motor overload by calculation of motor resitance and temperature
Inventor: TAYLOR DAVID HUW
IPC: H02H7/08
Filed: 2009-07-02
Abstract: A motor control system has a sensor for measuring an operational parameter of a motor and includes means for converting the measured operational parameter into an electrical resistance value which is representative of the temperature of the motor. In an embodiment, the operational parameter measured by the sensor is the rotational speed of the motor which is converted into a back electro-motive force. The back emf is then used, along with a measured input voltage and measured motor current to calculate the electrical resistance of the motor winding, which is proportional to the temperature of the motor. The electrical resistance value is then compared to a threshold value and, in the case that the threshold value is reached, the current flow in to the motor is adjusted. An accurate determination of motor resistance is achieved and the physical relationship between resistance and temperature permits the motor to be controlled to prevent overload.

Title: Improvements in binders for making luminescent screens
IPC: C09K11/02
Filed: 1937-04-08
Abstract: 493,086. Luminescent screens. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and JENKINS, H. C. April 8, 1937, No. 10025. [Class 98 (i)] In a method of manufacturing a luminescent screen the binder consists substantially of a non-viscous solution of one or more inorganic salts of the alkali metals, which salts are not decomposed when heated to a temperature of 500‹ C. during the dispersion or consolidation of the binder. Sodium or potassium carbonate or sulphate have proved satisfactory. In an example, a bulb is wetted with a 10 per cent aqueous solution of sodium carbonate Na2CO3 10H2O, drained for four minutes, the luminescent material sprayed on, and the bulb then heated at 350‹ C. for five minutes.

Abstract: 1,039,313. Welding by fusion. CHICAGO BRIDGE & IRON CO. March 11, 1964 [July 29, 1963], No. 10224/64. Heading B3R. A vertical fusion weld is made between vertical plates with the use of a moving melt retaining shoe having a projecting portion which projects into the welding gap or groove and limits the thickness of the weld deposit to provide space for the deposition of a further weld deposit to form a multi-pass weld. Plates 10, 11, Fig. 2, having chamfered edges are backed by fixed or moving backing devices 33 or by flux or shielding gas and arc welded by a welding head traversed and supported by rotating threaded rods 17 suspended from a carriage running along the upper edges of the plates. Electroslag or gas shielded arc welding, using, say nitrogen, carbon dioxide or helium, and if desired a flux, provides a deposit supported and cooled by the ridge 25 of a shoe 22 carried by a block 20 detachably secured to the welding head. After the first pass has been completed, the block 20 is reversed and a second pass is deposited and is supported by a surface 26 of the block 20. The block 20, the shoe 22 and the backing device are cooled, e.g., by a liquid or gas, and are made of copper, ceramic or a refractory. In a modification, the seam is welded by a machine having two welding heads 56, 58, Fig. 7 (not shown), traversed in tandem by screwed rods 54, the upper head having a melt retaining shoe with a ridge 57 and the lower head having a shoe 58 shaping the final weld surface. The plates may have a single V with a root gap, a single V butted, a double V or a parallel-sided gap preparation and the ridges of the shoes may be shaped accordingly. The ridge may be integral with or detachable from the body of the shoe and is formed with an inclined upper surface.

Title: Improvements relating to the seed or seedling distributing devices employed in conjunction with agricultural machines
IPC: A01C7/06
Filed: 1942-07-22
Abstract: 561,208. Seed and manure distributers. BOMFORD, D. R., and LISTER & CO., Ltd., R. A. July 22, 1942, No. 10233. Divided out of 561,207. [Class 6 (i)] A distributing device for agricultural machines comprises a hopper having separate compartments for seeds or the like and fertilizer, a tray movably mounted on the hopper for receiving both the seed or the like and the fertilizer, and means for imparting movements to the tray so that regulated amounts of its contents are jerked therefrom. The hopper 53 shown is carried by frame members. 50, 51, extending from the hub bf a press wheel 39, and comprises two compartments, one for seed and one for fertilizer, arranged with their outlets above a pivoted tray 80. The quantities discharged into the tray are regulated by outlet tubes, such as 75, carried by vertically adjustable arms 76, the quantities released being determined by the distance between the outlets of the tubes and the trays. The tray is divided lengthwise by a wall to provide two separate cempartments for the different materials, and upstanding walls of different heights are provided on the outlet edges of these compartments to give the correct discharge into a shoot 113 when the tray is oscillated. Oscillation of the tray is effected by a rod 103 connected to a rocking shaft 97 mounted in bearings on the rear wall of the hopper. A lever 96 connected to this shaft is struck intermittently by pins 95 on wheel 39 and oscillates between two stops 110, 112, formed on a plate 111 secured to the hopper. A spring 107 connected to a pin 100 at the end of an arm 99 on the shaft 97 serves to return the lever 96 suddenly against the stop 110 when a pin 95 disengages the arm 96, and the sudden stopping of the swinging tray thus resulting causes a portion of the materials in it. to discharge into the shoot 113. The latter is pivotally mounted and may be raised to an inoperative position by pulling on a cable 123 connected thereto, the cable being connected to one arm of a spring-controlled two-armed lever 115, the other arm of which is actuated by a second cable 120 leading to an operating lever. The cable 123 may also serve to raise the lever 96 to a position clear of the pins 95 and also to lift a flap 125 for closing the outlet mouth of the tray. The, hopper may be carried by a plough-press-drill as described in Specification 561,207. Specifications 208,457,. [Class 6 (i)], and 517,122 also are referred to.

Abstract: 708,803. Forming fibre webs. BURESH, F. M., and CURLATOR CORPORATION. April 21. 1949 [May 11, 1948], No. 10666/49. Class 120(1) A machine for forming a fibre web by means similar to that described in Specification 632,226 includes arrangements for limiting the generation of static electricity in the fibres. The air stream is circulated in a closed. path 108, 106, 105, 110, 112, 55 by a fan 100 and raw material may be fed to the toothed rotor 45 by a foraminous conveyer 31 in a hopper 23 as described in Specification 708,839. The material passes over rollers 25 and is evenly distributed over the conveyer 31 by air passing through it into a suction duct 32. The hopper may be removed for replacement by a roll holder for cotton, picker lap. In one arrangement for removing static, a tube 146 containing a U-bend 23 leads from the fan discharge to the fan inlet. The U- bend contains a heater 125 and a thermometer 130, the latter being connected to a thermostat controlling air supply to a spray injector 145. Rise in temperature above a predetermined level, of air in the system causes water to be injected into the main air stream. In alternative arrangements (not shown), steam may be introduced into the air stream on the upstream side of the rotor 45; high voltage alternating current discharge points may be located on the downstream or on both sides of the rotor 45, or a radio-active bar may extend across the air stream on the up-stream side of the rotor.
