Filed: 1935-10-10
Abstract: 464,035. Hose &c. suspender grips. RIGOLD, E. E. Oct. 10, 1935, No. 27930. [Class 44] A stocking and like suspender grip comprises a plate a having a trapezoidal aperture the side and bottom edges of which are rebated on the rear face at i, and a co-operating plate like member b with rebate k at the front face. Plate a is secured to a loop e by a strap d passing through a slot f, and member b is secured by a tape c of such length that it is not in tension when in use. The stocking &c. is placed over the front face of member a and member b is then worked through the aperture, together with the intervening stocking &c. fabric, and the rebates are brought into register. Release is effected by simple pull on the stocking &c. in a described manner which effects a preliminary rocking movement of plate b in its own plane, subsequent escape of plate b from the aperture in plate a being facilitated by provision of rounded edges at the upper corners r of plate b and a notch q in the lower edge of the aperture. In a modification the notch q is provided at the upper edge of the aperture and in a further modification a registering notch is also provided in the upper edge of plate b. Fig. 8 shows the attachment of tape c by passing through slots l, m and pressing in the central cross-bar to effect permanent grip, the attached tape lying in recesses n, o, within the thickness of the plate.

Title: Improvements in continuously feeding drying machines
IPC: F26B5/04
Filed: 1931-10-08
Abstract: 377,502. Charging drying-apparatus, RECKITT & SONS, Ltd., Kingston Starch Works, Dansom Lane, and HALL, E. H., Beech Groove, Beverley Road, both in Hull. Oct. 8, 1931, No. 27996. [Class 34 (ii).] In a drying machine employing rollers for feeding solid material into the machine, the latter is made air or vacuum-tight by making the rollers of elastic material and pressing them together and also against a member projecting from the face of the machine. The rollers 1 may be made of rubber and are mounted in bearings in adjustable supports 2 which can be moved vertically by screws 6. The rollers also press against a member 7 mounted on the face of the drier. The ends of the rollers and member 7 are sealed by members 9 having projections 10 which slide in a slot in the member 7. Flanges 12 on the members 9 also assist to seal the ends of the rollers. The position of the members 9 can be adjusted by screws 13. Solid material may be fed into the drier on a band which passes between the rollers, in which case a corresponding seal is provided for the return of the band. If the band brings the material up to the. rollers but does not itself pass between the rollers only one seal is necessary. If a high vacuum is to be maintained in the drier two or more sets of rollers and sealing members may be provided at the entrance as shown in Fig. 6. As shown in this Figure the solid to be dried is filtered from a liquid suspension by a rotary drum vacuum filter 15. The cake deposited on the drum 15 is removed by a scraper 16 which transfers it to the belt 11.

Title: An improved shutter for photographic cameras
IPC: G03B7/083
Filed: 1967-06-16
Abstract: 1,144,868. Camera shutters. E. & W. BERTRAM. June 16, 1967 [June 16, 1966], No. 28002/67. Heading G2A. Electronic shutters and shutter-diaphragms comprise opening and closing blade systems which respectively uncover and cover the lens aperture, each system having two pivoted blades which are held in the cocked position by an associated electromagnetically actuated catch the blades bearing on opposite sides of the catch, and the exposure time being determined by the delay in the actuation of the catch retaining the closing blade in the cocked position. The closing and opening blade systems 3 and 4 may each comprise a pair of blades 3a, 3b and 4a, 4b pivoted at 5 and 7 respectively for movement into and out of alignment with aperture 2. Exposure is effected by manually rotating anti-clockwise a ring 40 by an arm 41, first closing a switch 51 which completes a circuit to indicate if sufficient light is available, and then closes a double-throw switch 52 which completes a flash-circuit and energizes an electromagnet 15 which attracts a plate 10b of, and hence pivots, a catch in the form of a lever 10 having a nose 10a holding opening blade 4a, 4b in the cocked position, whereby the nose is moved out of engagement with the blades which run-down under the action of springs 8 to uncover the aperture 2 to initiate exposure. After a time governed by a photo-resistor (56) a Schmitt trigger (55) energizes an electromagnet 14 which causes a nose 9a of a lever 9, similar to lever 10, to be moved out of engagement with closing blades 3a, 3b which are released to terminate exposure. Noses 9a and 10a are positioned in slots 39 in a plate 38 and are prevented from moving until the latter has been rotated by ring 40. The shutter is cocked by rotating clockwise a ring 30 by an arm 30a; ring 30 has pins 33, 34 which engage and pivot cams 24, 25 respectively, having slots 22a, 22b and 23a, 23b respectively, each engaging a pin on one arm of a corresponding lever 18a, 18b, 19a, 19b respectively, the other arm of which each has a pin 20a, 20b, 21a, 21b which engages a blade 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b respectively, whereby the blades are moved into the cocked position and held by noses 9a, 10a which are returned by springs 13 or cams 60 on plate 38. The aperture defined by the opening blades 4a 4b in the open position may be set by a rotating diaphragm ring 36 having a cammed surface 37 which engages pin 34 to adjust, via cam 25, the amount of movement of levers 19a, 19b and hence of blades 4a, 4b.

Title: Redundancy reduction encoders
IPC: H04N7/36
Filed: 1973-06-13
Abstract: 1430956 Bandwidth reduction WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 13 June 1973 [14 June 1972] 28051/73 Heading H4F In apparatus, Fig. 1, of the type described in Specification 1,218,529 for transmitting framed video signals over a link 130 of restricted bandwidth and reducing the bandwidth of the signals by transmitting only frame to frame changes, said changes may occur due to an overall change in the transmitted scene illumination level as well as due to a movement in the scene. The former change will give rise to a great number of signal elements for transmission said number overloading the buffer store &c. in the apparatus and causing a degraded reproduced scene. Since such "illumination" changes are usually slower in occurrence than the "movement" changes, the invention seeks to bring about large area (e.g. a line at a time) variation in the stored frame (112) in accordance with the illumination changes, so that in the frame to frame comparison (at 101) the instant frame illumination is substantially equal to that of the stored frame, and no signal sample is selected for transmission. The variation in the stored frame, or compensation value, is developed in dependence on difference between instant signal samples not selected for transmission (i.e. those not due to movement) and their corresponding samples in the stored frame. A retroactive type control is thus effected for the stored frame. A movement detector or segmenter as described in Specification 1,383,066 determines when the output of subtractor 101 indicates a movement in the scene and causes the updating sample to be fed to frame memory 112 via changed over switch 107 and, together with its address to be transmitted via gates 108 and 118. If no movement is detected however an inverter 142 enables a gate 141 such that the output of circuit 101 (too small to actuate detector 105, due to slow frame to frame change in, e.g. illumination) is fed to the compensation value generator 150. The generator 150 integrates over, e.g. a line, and produces a signal indicating in sign and value the large area change in level. Such signal is combined at 103 with the contents of memory 112 to produce the compensated comparison value for subtractor 101. An intermediate output from generator 150 is fed, via gate 154, for transmission, whereby the receiver is informed of the compensation value and the large area alterations. The generator 150 incorporates a threshold detector (207, Fig. 2, not shown) which detects when a greater than a certain fraction of the detected non-moving elements are indicating a frame to frame charge-albeit how slow-and generates a 1 signal accordingly.
