Title: Improved air suspension valve control mechanism
IPC: B60G17/052
Filed: 1957-09-04
Abstract: 825,799. Maintaining height of road vehicle body; dashpots. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. Sept. 4, 1957 [Sept. 27, 1956], No. 27908/57. Classes 108(2) and 108(3) Air suspension valve control mechanism comprises a member 20 adapted to be moved by relative movement between sprung and unsprung portions of the suspension (not shown) to which is resiliently connected a second member 31 which is engaged with valve means 26, 27, which are thus actuated to maintain a predetermined height between the sprung and unsprung portions, and a delay device connected to the member 31 to delay its movement at one rate of response from a neutral position and at a second faster rate upon return towards the neutral position. A housing 18 for the mechanism is rigid with the vehicle chassis frame (Fig. 1, not shown), and carries a resilient bushing 36 which provides an air-tight pivot for the journal 32 of a control arm 20, the outer end of which is connected by a link to the vehicle axle. The journal 32 is rigid with a cranked arm 38 which lies adjacent a similar cranked portion of a lever 31 pivotally mounted on an extension 42 of the journal 32. A torsion spring 40 has both its ends 43, 44, extended radially to engage respectively the upper and lower surfaces of both the cranked portions of the lever 31 and the arm 38. Movement of the arm 20 in either direction thus acts through the torsion spring 40 to deflect the lever 31. The hollow interior of the housing 18 is connected by a conduit 28 to a source of pneumatic pressure. The opening of the conduit 28 into the housing 18 is controlled by a tyre-type valve 26, the stem 33 of which bears against the lever 31. A valve 27 similar to the valve 26 is connected to the lever 31 in such a way as to control escape of air from the housing 18 to atmosphere. The interior of the housing 18 is connected directly to the interior of a reservoir formed in a chassis frame member and connecting two tandem - disposed pneumatic suspension springs. The outer end of the lever 31 is connected to a U-shaped spring member 73 which is adapted to apply inward pressure to a pair of plugs 71, 72, which bear respectively upon the diaphragms 60, 61, of a fluid dashpot. The outer peripheries of the diaphragms are held in engagement with an annular member 51 the inner surface of which forms a cylinder and which is divided into two chambers 53, 54, by a transverse wall 52. A restricted orifice between the chambers 53, 54, is formed by a bore 55 obturated by a pin 58, and connected by ports 56 and 57 with the chambers 53, 54. The plugs 71, 72 are formed with a frusto-conical cross-section and this has the effect together with the precompression of the dashpot liquid of resulting in a tendency for the plugs 71, 72 to centre themselves with respect to the cylinder 51. Alternatively the plugs 71, 72 may be cylindrical and surrounding sleeves 67, 68 may be conically flared. Specification 786,849 is referred to.

Title: Band pass electric filters
IPC: H01P1/208
Filed: 1952-11-07
Abstract: 709,509. High frequency electric fibers. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. Nov. 7, 1952 [Dec. 1, 1951], No. 28061/52. Class 40 (8) A band pass filter comprises a number of cavity resonators, .means coupling adjacent resonators, and further means coupling alternate resonators. Tn the construction shown an input coupling 13 is connected to a resonator 1 at the beginning of a chain 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, all coupled in succession by apertures, the first of which is indicated at 12. Resonators 1 and 3 are also coupled by lines 17 and 18 and resonators 3 and 5 by lines 19 and 20. Adjusting slugs 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 can be provided in the resonators Without the coupling lines 17, 18, 19 and 20 the filter would only have a gradual cut off in its characteristic. These pairs of lines are arranged so that one line gives a capacitative coupling and the other an inductive coupling. Further at a particular frequency current injected into a resonator from these lines is 180 degrees out of phase with respect to current passing through each resonator in turn from aperture to aperture. A zero is thus produced in the filter characteristic and, by adjusting one of these to each end of the pass band, a sharper cut-off can then be obtained.

Title: Improvements in or relating to coenzyme a
IPC: C07H19/20
Filed: 1957-09-05
Abstract: A stable metal salt reaction product of coenzyme A is obtained by reacting coenzyme A with a water-soluble non-deliquescent metal salt in aqueous solution and then lyophilizing the reaction mixture.  The metal salt is suitably a metal salt of a divalent acid and may be a salt of an organic acid or of a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid.  It is preferably a divalent metal salt of a dibasic organic acid.  Specified salts are the salts of calcium, copper (cupric), magnesium, cadmium, nickel (nickelous), cobalt (cobaltous), iron (ferrous) and manganese with gluconic, benzoic, citric, acetic, formic, lactic, succinic, tartaric, hydrochloric, sulphuric, and nitric acids in so far as such salts are watersoluble and non-deliquescent.  The reaction is preferably carried out by mixing the two reactants in aqueous solution at room temperature and then lyophilizing the solution thus obtained.  The product after lyophilization is enzymatically stable and has the same spectrophotometric and chromatographic characteristics as pure coenzyme A stabilized by cold.  In aqueous solution the product decomposes by hydrolysis to give coenzyme A.  A stoichiometric excess of the metal salt may be used in the reaction.  Examples are given in which coenzyme A is reacted with calcium gluconate, calcium benzoate, and calcium citrate respectively in aqueous solution.  The solution is then filled into ampoules which are placed in a refrigerator and frozen to-70 DEG C. in 15 minutes.  The mixture is then evaporated in vacuo over 10 hours with progressive increase of temperature to about 20 DEG C. and the ampoules are finally filled with nitrogen and sealed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to maximum demand meters for alternating current
IPC: G01R11/56
Filed: 1925-11-09
Abstract: 265,673. Shotter, G. F., and Hill, E. W. Nov. 9, 1925. Special quantities, registering; induction motor meters. - In a maximum demand indicator for alternating current of the kind described in Specification 168,339, in which the pin moving the non-return pointer is disconnected from its driving means at regular intervals by means of a shaded-pole electromagnet connected across the mains and acting on a rotating disc, the separate shaded-pole magnet is dispensed with and the disc effecting the periodic disconnection is driven by a main shadedpole electromagnet. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, in which the gearing is shown detached, two metal discs 23, 24 mounted on spindles 19, 22 are arranged to rotate in the gap 4 of the unsaturated main shaded-pole magnet 3 energized by the series winding 6. The disc 23 - also passes between the poles of a permanent magnet 8 and drives, through a worm 28 and worm-wheel 27, a pinion 38 engaging a spring- controlled gear-wheel 37 carrying a pin 36 which drives the friction-controlled pointer 31. The - disc 24 has no brake and therefore rotates at a constant speed independent of the value of the current. It drives, through a worm 30 and wormwheel 29, a train of gearing which at regular intervals disconnects the pinion 38 from the wheel 37, which thereupon returns to its starting position under the influence of its spring. In a modification, Fig. 5, the magnet 3 has two gaps 4, 4<1>, with a shading ring 5 on the pole at each gap. The disc 23 is disposed in one gap and the disc 24 in the other. For a polyphase supply a construction similar to that described in Specifi- -cation 183,017 may be employed, the disc 24 being arranged in proximity to the poles of one or more of the electromagnets. Alternatively three windings 33, 34, 35, Fig. 5, each connected in series with one phase, are wound on a single magnet, one winding 34 having a smaller number of turns than the others, for example half the number of turns, and preferably being connected with a polarity opposite to that of the other two windings.

Title: Improved process for the concentration of zirconium sands and ores
IPC: B03D1/02
Filed: 1934-10-02
Abstract: Zircon or zirconia is separated from sands or crushed ores by treating the sands &c. with an aqueous solution, preferably hot, of a soap such as sodium oleate, removing the excess of soap solution, e.g. by draining or draining and washing, and then agitating with water acidified with mineral acid.  The draining or draining and washing removes the soap from all the particles except the zircon or zirconia, and the subsequent treatment with acid produces a fatty acid film on the zircon particles.  The agitation with acidified water may be effected by jets or sprays, by aeration, or in any normal type of flotation machine, e.g. a sub-aeration machine.  The treatment of a beach sand containing zircon, ilmenite, rutile, and gangue is described.  The rutile and ilmenite may be subsequently recovered, if desired, as a mixed concentrate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to current responsive electric relay systems
Inventor: WORSTER NORMAN GEORGE
IPC: H01H47/22
Filed: 1957-09-06
Abstract: 897,612. Relay systems. SMITH & SONS (ENGLAND) Ltd., S. Dec. 5, 1958 [Sept. 6, 1957], No. 28265/57. Class 38 (4). A relay circuit is arranged so that when the current departs from the operating or releasing value, the relay is cyclically reset so as to minimize the difference between operating and releasing currents. A calibrated relay coil 71 is connected through a pair of contacts 72 across a variable supply 70. Another pair of contacts 73 operated by the coil 71 controls a slugged relay coil 74 operating contacts 72, 76, the latter controlling an indicator lamp 77. When the current from supply 70 exceeds a determined value relays 71, 74 operate alternately, hence as soon as the supply current decreases below the determined value, relays 71, 74 remain de-energized. The indicator circuit may be slugged to prevent cyclic operation. As an alternative to disconnection, the relay sensitivity may be altered by shunting a resistor across the coil or by means of additional coils in the same magnetic circuit. A circuit arrangement is described comprising both upsensing and down-sensing relays operating indicator circuits, the relays having a common pulsing circuit.

Title: Improvements in and relating to binary comparator circuits
IPC: G06F7/02
Filed: 1962-07-24
Abstract: 1,010,823. Matrix stores; comparators; indicating availability of seats. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. July 24, 1962 [July 26, 1961], No. 28332/62. Headings G4C, C4M and G4T. [Also in Division H3] A comparator circuit comprises a group of magnetic cores containing a first binary word, means for entering a second binary word into the cores to replace the first word and means for detecting whether any cores have changed state, such means being adapted to detect separately the two possible directions of change. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, binary words are stored in columns of a magnetic core matrix array having a bias winding 17 and a sensing winding 19 threading all the cores of the array. A word to be entered is stored in an input register 7 together with an indication of the column in which the word is to be entered. Assuming that a +1 current switches a core to " 0 " and a - 1 current switches it to " 1 ", the bias winding carries a + ¢ current, Fig. 4, the rows corresponding to a " 1 " in the input word carry a -1 pulse, the rows corresponding to " 0 " carrying zero current. A clock and gate circuit 8 supplies to the selected column winding a double pulse comprising - ¢current followed by + ¢ current, the - ¢ current pulse being effective to switch any cores into which a " 1 " is to be inserted which were previously in the " 0 " state, the subsequent + ¢ current pulse being effective to switch any cores into which a " 0 " is to be inserted which were previously in the " 1 " state. Thus the first column current pulse time produces a sense winding output of one polarity if any cores are switched from " 0 " to " 1 " and the second column current pulse time produces a sense winding output of the opposite polarity if any cores are switched from " 1 " to " 0 ". In a second embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown), the bias and sense windings are combined in a single winding and in a third embodiment (Fig. 3, not shown) biasing is dispensed with and the row wires for both " 0 " and " 1 " inputs carry pulses. Registering availability of seats.-In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5 a core matrix is provided, each column corresponding to a particular aircraft flight, a core in the " 1 " state indicating that a seat is reserved and a core in the " 0 " state indicating that a seat is vacant. In operation, up-to-date data regarding the seats of a particular flight is placed in register 7 and entered as described above into the column corresponding to the flight. Any core such as core 31 which is switched from " 0 " to " 1 " indicates a new seat booking, a corresponding output being produced on the sense winding 19 and applied to a transmitter A capable of transmitting the fact of a new reservation to a receiver A. Similar, a core such as the core 30 which switches from " 1 " to " 0 " indicates a seat cancellation, this information being transmitted by a transmitter 13 to a receiver B.
