Abstract: According to the method for studying the activity of microbial-growth-inhibiting agents, such as antibiotics, a change is studied on the growth medium caused by an agent added onto the microbial growth medium. A picture is taken of the growth medium and the grey tone values of its pixels (picture elements) is registered, the distribution (spectrum) of grey tones is formed, from which the threshold value of the grey tone value is determined, which shows the border between the area of change caused by the growth inhibiting agent and the normal microbial growth by finding a suitable minimum which lies between the distribution peaks caused by the area of change and the culture. Based on the location of the pixels which fulfil the threshold value a characteristic is determined for the area of change, such as the diameter of the inhibition zone caused by the antibiotic. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for wireless transmission of multiple information signals between a base station and a number of subscriber stations by the use of digital time allocation circuits. The subscriber stations can be stationary or mobile. The number of time allocation circuits is determined by the transmission quality of the signals. The base station is connected to an external information network which can be analogue and/or digital. The information signals have been selected from the group consisting of voice, data, fax, video, computer and instrumentation signals. The modulation level of the signals and the energy which is supplied to the system are set in accordance with the signal error detection in the system. The system has been provided with spatial dispersion by the use of a number of antennas, which are arranged selectively at a distance from each other to achieve relatively high signal reception notwithstanding signal fading. The base station operates on a number of pairs of RF channels. The operation of each pair of channels is assisted by the combination of a transmitter channel circuit for handling a given number of information signals, which are received simultaneously over a telephone company's trunk lines for simultaneous transmission to various subscriber stations over a given RF channel, and a receiver channel circuit for handling a number of signals which are received simultaneously over a given RF channel from various subscriber stations to create information signals for transmission over the trunk lines. <IMAGE>

Title: Improved apparatus for injecting liquid fertilisers into the ground
IPC: A01C23/02
Filed: 1949-01-19
Abstract: 658,653. Treatment of growing plants. ABEL, M., and LECOCQ, J. Jan. 19, 1949, No. 1477. Convention date, Feb. 18, 1948. [Class 6(ii)] Liquid fertilizer is injected through a hollow stake 1 from a pump cylinder 17. The U- shaped stake and pump support 2 carries a sole plate 3 at ground level, and pulleys 6, 8 near the top which, through handles and spur gearing, actuate two cables 12, 13. Both cables are secured to the top of the stake and to the pulley 6, the cable 12 directly and the cable 13 after passing below the pulley 11. The pump cylinder is provided with ball valves controlling fluid inlet from a tank and outlet to the interior of the stake. When the end of the piston rod 23 engages an adjustable stop 29 on the support 2, the liquid is discharged, but on withdrawing the stake, the grooved end 25 of the piston rod remains engaged with a spring clip in the stop 29. A fresh charge is thus drawn into the cylinder, the piston rod being eventually released when the piston abuts the lower end of the cylinder. The tank or tanks are mounted on a wheeled frame, and may be secured to the stake or be detachable therefrom for carrying on the user's back.

Title: Temperature control system
IPC: F24F3/052
Filed: 1953-01-19
Abstract: 724,913. Automatic temperature-control systems. VAPOR HEATING CORPORATION. Jan. 19, 1593 [Feb. 18, 1952], No. 1528/53. Class 38 (4). In an automatic temperature-control system for an enclosure involving an electrically operated valve controlling the mixing of air streams of different temperatures, a cycling thermostat responsive to the controlled temperature at one location determines the direction of operatoin of the valve and, in co-operation with another cycling thermostat responsive to the controlled temperature at another location, completes a circuit to operate the valve intermittently. In Fig. 1 an aircraft cabin 10 is heated by air, issuing from outlets 17 in a conduit 16, which has been drawn in from outside through a conduit 13 past a heat exchanger 12 associated with the aircraft power unit exhaust gases. Temperature is controlled by mixing the heated air with unheated air drawn through a conduit 15, and varying the mixture by a damper 18 adjusted by a split field reversible D.C. servomotor M. A mercury column type of thermostatic switch 27 responsive to cabin temperature is associated with a relay 56 which controls the servomotor so that cabin temperature is maintained at a value between 65‹ F. and 80‹ F. which is determined by the setting of a rheostat 40 controlling an auxiliary heater 28 of thermostat 27. Thermostat 27 operates intermittently by virtue of an additional energizing circuit for heater 28 controlled by contacts 62 of relay 56 and the relative on to off time of relay 56 is dependent on cabin temperature. A second thermostatic switch 25 responsive to the temperature of the air mixture in conduit 16 is associated with two relays 43, 44 operation of which is initiated at temperatures of 250‹ F. and 200‹ F. respectively. Thermostat 25 is also provided with an auxiliary heater 26 to produce intermittent operation. When starting up from cold, and before heat exchanger 12 is fully effective, relays 43, 44, 56 are energized and thermostat 27 causes motor M to move damper 18 continuously to increase heating. When, however, the temperature in conduit 16 reaches 220‹ F., relay 44 operates intermittently, its contacts 52 reducing the rate of operation fo damper 18. As the temperature in conduit 16 increases further, the rate of operation of damper 18 is gradually reduced to zero by the change of on to off time of relay 44. When cabin temperature rises above the desired value relay 56 operates so that its contacts 60 apply through a resistance 75 auxiliary heating to thermostat 27 which then operates intermittently relay 43, contacts 47 of which, in combination with contacts 60 of relay 56, cause reversal of damper 18. In a modification, Fig. 5 (not shown), the cabin thermostat is associated with two relays operation of which is initiated at temperatures of 105‹ F. and 110‹ F., while the air mixture thermostat is associated with only one relay, operation of which is initiated at a temperature of 200‹ F.

Title: Industrial robot
IPC: B25J18/02
Filed: 1974-01-14
Abstract: 1441999 Manipulators TOKYO SHIBAURA ELECTRIC CO Ltd 14 Jan 1974 [24 Jan 1973] 01631/74 Heading B8H [Also in Division G3] A robot has a plurality of movable members each mechanically coupled to a respective actuator such that operation of one actuator causes desired movement of the related member and undesired movement of another member where each actuator is controlled by separate control circuits but interconnected so that a proportion of the signal causing the desired movement is usedin the control circuit of another actuator to cancel the undesired movement. The robot includes a hand base which is longitudinally extensible and rotatable about its longitudinal axis, a wrist member pivotally mounted on the hard base and a finger base rotatable about the wrist member. The members are mechanically coupled through coaxial hollow shafts each geared to a drive shaft connected to the respective actuator. The gearing is such that movement of the wrist will cause undesired movement of the finger and movement of the hand causes undesired movement of the wrist and thus the finger. In the control system shown each actuator 25 (Hand), 39 (Wrist) and 49 (Finger) has an almost identical basic control circuit with the last two containing additional features to enable the necessary cancelling of undesired movement. The position of each actuator is signalled digitally by transducer PD and the command signal generator 201, 301, 401 provides both a position signal and a direction signal which latter is used to set switch 205, 305, 405 appropriately, to changeover the input to the respective operational amplifier. The output of amplifier 206 is carried to the input of amplifier 207 and additionally to the wrist amplifier 307 and finger amplifier 407 with a polarity and magnitude which will cancel undesired movement of these members. A position signal is also carried across to the wrist command circuit so that movement of the hand causes the position stored in element Wr of 301 to be changed. A similar interconnection is made between the wrist and finger command circuit 401. The wrist output signal from amplifier 306 also is applied with the correct polarity to a third input of finger amplifier 407.

Abstract: 1328771 Fuel spray nozzles PARKERHANNIFIN CORP 13 Jan 1972 [25 Feb 1971] 1709/72 Heading F4T A dual orifice fuel nozzle comprises a nozzle body 2 having primary and secondary fuel inlet passages 3, 4 communicating with respective primary and secondary spin chambers 12, 8 and discharge orifices 14, 9 for discharge of fuel as generally conical sprays and a pressure responsive flow modulating member 18 movable in the primary fuel passage to decrease the flow through the primary discharge orifice 14 in response to an increase in fuel pressure in the primary inlet passage 3 above a predetermined value, this also increasing the angle of fuel spray from the orifice 14. The member 18 is biased by a spring 26 to the position shown in Fig. 3 and in this position fuel is fed to a pair of diametrically opposed spin passages 15 (only one shown), which lead tangentially into the spin chamber 12, by way of passage 20,groove 19, radial passages 21, and passages 15<SP>1</SP>. Fuel is also fed to a pair of similar tangential spin passages 16 (only one shown) by way of passages 24, groove 23, radial passages 25 and passages 16<SP>1</SP>. As fuel pressure increases the member 18 moves so that the groove 19 cuts off the fuel supply through the radial passages 21 to the spin passages 15, the groove 23, however, allowing fuel to pass to the spin passages 16. The secondary fuel inlet passage communicates with the spin chamber 8 by way of helical spin passages 10 (Fig. 1). When the nozzle is mounted in an engine under starting conditions the member 18 is in the position shown and fuel passes to both spin passages 15 and 16. Under rated engine power, the fuel flow to the passages 15 is cut off and this reduced primary fuel flow rate avoids an over-rich concentration of fuel in the primary combustion zone and so minimizes the production of smoke and/or unburned hydrocarbons.
