Title: Preparation of photo-conducting material
Inventor: SHAW DERICK
IPC: H01L31/18
Filed: 1959-01-12
Abstract: A photoconductive cadmium sulphide is prepared by compacting powdered cadmium sulphide under heat and pressure and introducing a copper or similar activator before or after compacting.  The powder may be compacted at a pressure of from 1,5 to 2,5 tons per square inch a graphite mould being used for the lower pressures and a graphite lined "Ninomic" (Registered Trade Mark) mould for the higher pressures.  An ambient atmosphere of argon is used.  Copper is introduced after compacting by immersing the compacted powder in a solution of copper nitrate in distilled water, drying it and then firing it in an atmosphere containing nitrogen and hydrogen sulphide at a temperature of from 550-650 DEG C. to diffuse the activator. Copper may be introduced before compacting by making a wet paste of the cadmium sulphide copper nitrate or copper chloride and distilled water and then drying to drive off the water.  Subsequent heating during compacting activate to diffuse into the cadmium sulphide.  If a silver activator is required silver nitrate may replace the copper volt.

Title: Improvements in and relating to machinery for the drilling of rock, coal and like substances
IPC: E21B6/00
Filed: 1959-01-13
Abstract: 885,269. Drilling long holes. GUREL, S. March 31, 1960 [Jan. 13, 1959], No. 1194/59. Class 83 (3). [Also in Group XXIII] In a rotary, or rotary and percussive drill for drilling rock &c., the drill 11 is connected to a tube 2 coaxial with an outer tube 1, the tubes being advanced alternately into the hole being drilled by shoes 5, 10 connected to the tubes 1, 2, respectively, which intermittently expand to engage the hole, and restrain their respective tube against rotary and axial movements. The shoes 5 are actuated by oil which is forced under pressure into ducts 3 in the tube 1 by a piston 17 driven by a motor 18, through a flexible tube 13, and the shoes 10 are actuated by water under pressure delivered from a piston 16 through an annulus between the flexible tube 13 and a coaxial flexible tube 14 and ducts 4. A piston 7, having a piston-rod with a splined portion 20, and a helically-grooved portion 8, is axially movable but rotationally fixed in the tube 2, and when moved axially by oil pressure, the helical portion 8 rotates a similar helically barrel portion 40 which drives a one-way clutch 9 secured to a shaft 41, and rotates a drill 11 connected to the latter. Flow of oil is controlled by valves 28, 6, so that the parts move in a progressive manner. In operation, the piston 17 moves from bottom dead-centre and forces oil through the tube 13, duct 37, into duets 3, and thence to the shoes 5. The shoes expand and clamp the tube 1 to the wall of the hole being drilled, and due to the build up of pressure in the circuit, the valve 28 opens, and the oil flows into a chamber 39. A piston 29 moves against a spring 30 and forces the tube 2 along with the piston 7, the shaft 41 and drill 11 axially until the drill engages the bottom of the hole. Due to this engagement the pressure is increased in chamber 39, the piston 29 opens ports 31, and oil flows from chamber 39 through valve 6 into a chamber 19 in the tube 2, and the piston 7 moves axially to rotate the drill by means of the helical portion 40, and clutch 9. The piston 16 then moves from its bottom dead-centre and water is forced through flexible pipe 14 into ducts 4 in the tube 1, and thence to the shoes 10, and expands the latter to engage the wall of the hole. The piston 17 moves away from top dead-centre and the oil pressure drops, allowing spring 23 to move piston 7 towards valve 6. Springs on the shoes 5 disengage the latter from the hole, and oil flows from cylinder 19 through valve 6 into chamber 39, via ducts 33 which are now open. A piston 34 is axially displaced and oil flows through ports 43, ducts 36, 37 and thence to piston 17, oil from shoes 5 passing to piston 17 via ducts 3.
