Abstract: 13,080. Yarrow, A. F. June 5. Differential speed indicators; revolution-direction indicators.-Relates to arrangements of epicyclic gearing for indicating the synchronism of shafts in order to facilitate their clutching together. Bevel-wheels C, E of equal size are driven at the same ratio of speed by pulleys A', B' geared to the shafts it is desired to clutch. The wheels C, E gear with a planet pinion D carried by a casing F connected to a sleeve G screw-threaded on its outer surface. When the speeds of the two shafts are in agreement the sleeve G will remain stationary; at other times a screw thread upon its periphery will appear to move to the right or the left according to the direction of rotation. As shown in Fig. 2, the pulley B<1> may be connected to the planet casing F<1>, in which case the indicating- arm H<1> is connected to the second bevel-wheel E<1> and the casing F' is driven half as quickly as before. Spur-wheel epicyclic gearing may be substituted for that shown if the wheels are driven with the required ratios of speeds.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Feeding Webs of Paper, or other Material, in Correct Register.
IPC: B65H20/20
Filed: 1914-01-24
Granted: 1915-02-18
Abstract: 1951. Rose, W., and Rose Bros. Jan, 24. Feeding and registering webs. - Apparatus for feeding a web of paper or other material in correct longitudinal register comprises a pair of rollers, one of which is provided with means for positively engaging the web and is driven by a device which allows a little play between itself and the roller; the second roller is slightly larger than the first and is geared to it so as to rotate in the same direction; camactuated pressure devices alternately press the web on to the rollers so that, owing to the slight play in the driving-device, short intervals of rest occur in the feed of the web to keep it in longitudinal register. The machine shown feeds a previously perforated web 8 to a cutting- device for cutting the web into labels. The roller 1 provided with pins 6 to engage the perforations in the web is loosely mounted on a spindle 2 and is driven by a pin 4 carried by a gear-wheel 5 and engaging loosely in a slot 3 in the roller 1. The roller 9 of slightly larger diameter than the roller 1 is continuously driven by a gear-wheel 13. The wheels 5, 13 are connected by a pinion 16 which is driven by gearing from the driving-shaft 10. The web is alternately pressed against the rollers 1, 9 by pressure rollers 17, 18 carried by arms 19, 20 pivoted on a shaft 27 and having integral arms 29, 33 operated by cams 23, 24 on the driven shaft 31. When the web is being fed by the rollers 9, 18. the roller 1 moves slightly in advance of its driving-gear 5 so that when the roller 18 is lifted and the roller 17 depressed, the web remains stationary while the driving-pin 4 moves across the slot 3. The cutting-apparatus comprises a blade 43 pivoted to a member 41, which is pivotally mounted on a shaft 39 and periodically rocked by an integral arm 45 engaging a cam 47 on the driving-shaft 10. During cutting, the web is held by a presser 35 carried by an arm 36 pivoted on the shaft 39. The presser is simultaneously lifted with the knife by means of a projection carried by the member 41 engaging beneath the arm 36. The blade coacts with a table 53 and is adjustable by means of a milled nut 52 and spring 54.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electromagnetic Switches.
IPC: H01H50/40
Filed: 1914-12-04
Granted: 1915-11-04
Abstract: 23,544. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Dec. 4. Electro - magnetic switches. Relates to electro-magnetic switches adapted to be closed by an energizing- current of moderate strength, and to be held open by a current of higher strength. The invention consists in a switch of this type having an armature acted on by two opposing magnetic forces, and an auxiliary armature adapted to strain a spring which closes the switch when the exciting-current falls to the required value. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the movable switch contact 21 is resiliently mounted on an armature 16, pivoted at 17 and biassed so that its lower end, bearing a non-magnetic spacer 27, rests against the lower pole 12 of a magnet 10, which has a bent-up magnetic extension 26 encircled by a copper sleeve 28. A second armature 29 pivoted co-axially with the first is connected by a spring 30 with an adjusting-screw 31 in the armature member 16. When the magnet is excited by a current above the closing limit, one end of the armature 29 is drawn into contact with the upper pole 11, as shown in Fig. 4, and compresses the spring 30, tending to close the switch. The counter-attraction of the pole 12 for the armature 16 holds the switch open until, with diminishing current, this attraction becomes less than the compression of the spring 30 aided by the attraction due to the delayed flux in the limb 26. Movement of the screw 31 enables the closing limit to be altered. In a modification, the closing-armature 29 presses on the rear end of the contact seating spring, and the second spring is absent. Variation of the closing limit is obtained by screwing up and down a tapered magnetic piece which varies the air-gap between the lower pole and the holding-out armature. In a further modification, the closing-armature presses on a spring in line with, but independent of, the contact seating spring, and variation of the closing limit is obtained by altering the setting of the spring.

Abstract: The anaerobic digestion process is usually applied for producing the Biogas out of kitchen waste. The efficiency of production of Methane gas (CH,) is 50-55% maximum for all practical models. We have developed a model where the efficiency of Methane production is gone upto 90-95%. This has become possible because the C02 which is usually 30-35% in all kind of anaerobic digestion reacts with Lime water. The reaction is shown below: Ca(OH)2(aq) + C02(g) → CaC03 (s) + H20(1) The purified Biomethane gas obtained mixed with Hydrogen gives better intensity with high calorific value. This is extremely clear gas. To get the Biomethane gas mixed with Hydrogen, an additional chamber is added, which produces the hydrogen gas. The chemical reaction to produce the hydrogen gas is as below: 2HC1+ Zn → ZnCl2 + H2 The uniqueness of mixing hydrogen gas is the work done under the research. Though the knowledge was available and hydrogen gas too but could not be exploited for such purposes. One basic reason might be due to high cost of the hydrogen gas. The process and chemical reaction proposed in the model is cheap and easy. Zinc is available at a very low cost in the market and HCI is also readily available at low cost. Both the items can be mixed out of which hydrogen gas will be produced.
