Title: Improvements in or relating to mounting heads for cameras or like devices
Inventor: BAKER HARRY JOHN
IPC: F16M11/06
Filed: 1968-07-22
Abstract: 1,217,079. Camera supports. RONFORD Ltd. June 19, 1969 [July 22, 1968], No.34849/68. Heading G2J. [Also in Divisions E2 and F4]. In a camera support, in which the degree of rotational "feel" is adjustable, a rotor assembly 5 is mounted within the housing 4 formed by a body part 1 and a detachable plate 3, the rotor 6 being free to rotate about the axis 5x in the bearings 10, 12 provided in the body part 1 and plate 3. The rotor has a plurality of chambers 19 to 22 formed by its walls, the chambers containing a viscous liquid and ring members 24 to 27 coaxial with the rotation axis and free to move in the liquid. Each ring has an associated device which may be used to clamp the ring to the housing so that there will be a viscous force to overcome during the rotation of the frame 39 which is coupled to the boss 8 of the rotor; by adjusting the number of clamped rings it is possible to adjust the "feel" as desired. The clamps shown are pairs of opposed jaws mounted with oppositely directed screw threads on threaded rods, e.g. jaws 31,32 on a rod 35 clamp the ring 24 when the knob 36 is turned, the whole arrangement being mounted on the plate 3. In an alternative arrangement, Figs.2,3 (not shown) the rings have castellated edges and lever controlled, spring-loaded, sliding blocks with peg shaped abutments mate with the castellations to clamp the rings. In both cases the walls of the rotor and the rings have apertures 23, 28 to allow the viscous liquid to circulate and it is believed that tapered shape of the housing produces a pumping effect as the rotor rotates. The drawing also shows how a similar adjustable feel effect may be achieved about an axis 5xa which is perpendicular to that of 5x. The arrangement is very similar to that described except that now the "rotor" 6a is fixed to the frame 39, but instead the housing rotates as the camera platform 41 swivels about 5xa, a bearing 43 giving the strut 42 the necessary rotational freedom at the other end of the platform. The whole arrangement may be coupled to an auxiliary stand through the lugs 1<SP>1</SP>.

Abstract: 1386243 Surface wave devices GENERAL ELECTRIC CO Ltd 16 June 1972 [26 July 1971] 34928/71 Heading H3U Coupling means 9, Fig. 1 on a lithium niobate substrate 1 is provided to couple surface wave energy out from an acoustic surface wave path between input transducer 2 and an output transducer 3 into a path between further output transducers 4 and 5. The proportion of energy transferred is determined by the setting of a variable resistor (not shown) between the terminals 11 of coupling means 9. Black wax absorbing material 12 is provided, and, if desired, transducer 3 may be omitted. If the left propagating wave from the lower part of means 9 is not desired a pair of coupling means (13, 14), Fig. 2 (not shown) separated by a half wavelength (ie. staggered by a quarter wavelength), may be provided, Fig. 2 (not shown), or, if the separation is a half wavelength in the upper path, and one wavelength in the lower, (i.e. staggering one quarter, resp. three quarters of a wavelength), Fig. 3 (not shown), the right propagating wave in the lower channel is suppressed. The coupling means may alternatively have the form of Fig. 6 (not shown), or may be angled to provide non-parallel paths, or to be U-shaped. For greater energy transfer, a plurality of spaced coupling means may be provided. Tapped delay lines.-Fig. 5, Fig. 4 (not shown). In Fig. 5 transducers 25 are connected in parallel by leads (not shown) and the strength of coupling for each means 19 into the lower path is set by the corresponding variable resistance. Each input at transducer 17 thus results in a set of components, each delayed a different time, as output. Alternatively a single output transducer (18, Fig. 4) detects the left launched waves from each of a plurality of coupling means (19), and the dealy characteristic can be programmed by replacing the variable resistors (21) by corresponding program controlled switches. Band-pass filter.-By suitable adjustment of resistors (21, Fig. 4) an adjustable band-pass filter characteristic can be obtained. The electrodes comprise gold or aluminium evaporated on, then photo-etched, metal film. Dimensions in terms of the operating acoustic wavelength are given.

Abstract: 848,428. Electric tests. CANADIAN AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICS Ltd. Nov. 12, 1957 [Dec. 4, 1956], No. 35239/57. Class 37 Apparatus for geophysical cryoloration comprises a pair of transmitting coils mounted at right angles to one another, a pair of receiving coils similarly mounted, means feeding the coils alternately with A.C. and means for indicating the difference between the signals in the receiving coils at corresponding intervals. The transmitting coils may be carried on one aircraft while the receiving coils are in a case towed behind or in a different aircraft or a case towed behind it. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 the A.C. source is connected by switch 4 alternately to transmitting coils 2, 3. Receiving coils 2<SP>1</SP> 3<SP>1</SP> detect the fields of the corresponding coils in the absence of disturbing bodies and their outputs are amplified by amplifiers 19, 18 respectively. Imperfect alignment of the receiving with the transmitting coils may mean that receiving coil 2 1 will receive a signal from transmiitter 3, and 3<SP>1</SP> from 2. This is avoided by switches 17, 17<SP>1</SP> coupled to switch 4 to disable the appropriate amplifier channel when the other coil is receiving a pick-up signal. In addition coils 2<SP>11</SP>, 3<SP>11</SP>, near the transmitting coils combine their signals with the outputs of the receiving coils so as to eliminate unwanted pick-ups. The outpots E 1, Ex may be rectified and fed with appropriate signs to a long time constant indicator which indicates their difference. Alternatively, as shown, the difference between the two signals is split in to in-phase and out-of-phase components at 7, 8 using the A.C. source 1 as a reference. In the arrangement of Fig. 1 (not shown) the outputs of the receiving coils are fed through non-linear amplifiers which eliminate the small signals produced by unwanted coupling when the other coil of the pair is energized.
