Title: Diagnostic machines with recording means and improved recording mechanisms therefor
IPC: A61B5/0432
Filed: 1965-06-08
Abstract: 1,057,797. Recording-apparatus. A. KOFFLER. June 8, 1965 [June 23, 1964], No.24180/65. Heading G1J. Recording-apparatus comprises a motor 15 driving an endless belt 5 of record medium through gearing 9, a splined shaft 7 and roller 6 over a polished rod 2 under a stylus 1 to record a trace within a longitudinal band of the belt 5, means for stopping movement of the belt 5 at the end of a single revolution and manually or electrically operated means for moving the roller 6 with the belt 5 along the shaft 7 in order to record another trace in an adjacent band on the belt. Frames 10 provide journals for rods 2, 3 which can be given a quarter turn by a knurled knob 4 to loosen the belt 5 and allow a support 14 for shaft 7 to be swung aside while the belt is changed. Preferably the record medium is a laminated paper, the stylus applying heat to render the surface layer transparent to display a darker under-layer. This arrangement for recording a plurality of traces is particularly suitable for diagnostic recorders such as electrocardiographs and enables sequential records related to one patient to be recorded on one belt of paper which can be suitably cut, folded and labelled for filing. A method of adapting an existing recorded to record on a laterally shiftable endless belt is described with reference to Fig. 8 (not shown) and also a modified arrangement of rollers, Figs. 4 to 6 (not shown) enabling a choice of three lengths of belt to be made and of backing plate, Fig. 7 (not shown) enabling a choice of widths.

Abstract: 259,564. Turrettini, H. F. A. Oct. 8, 1925, [Convention date]. Thermo electric batteries.- The sections of the conductors of thermo-electric couples for apparatus utilizing the Peltier cooling effect are in the same ratio as their resistivities. In one, form, the couples comprise antimony sectors 2, Fig. 4, disposed between groups of bismuth alloy sectors, the sectors being connected at their inner cold ends to copper rings 6 and perforated towards their outer ends, which are connected in series by copper plates 10, so as to facilitate the dissipation of the heat due to the Joule and the inverse Peltier effects. In a modification, the couples are of U-shape, while in another arrangement they are of L-shape. Fig. 9 shows a modification in which the couples are arranged in coaxial groups, the cold joints 6<1> - - 6<111> of which absorb the Joule heat, while the hot joints are immersed in a vessel 12 containing water. In another arrangement, a central group of couples is surrounded by concentric rings of couples the lengths of which are progressively shorter so as to give a stepped profile to the apparatus, while in another modification, the concentric rings are shaped to give a curved outline to the apparatus. Fig. 22 shows a further arrangement comprising a series of adjacent metal plates.

Abstract: 1501035 Data processing systems; selective signalling INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 15 June 1976 [10 July 1975] 24804/76 Headings G4A and G4H A plurality of modules, e.g. integrated circuit sub-processors, Pl-Pn are connected to a common serial bus FML over which data and addresses are transmitted, and each module includes a switch SW which is actuated by a common control line ADL to connect the bus to an address decoder 27, and which is actuated by that corresponding address decoder to connect the bus to a data input 24a of the associated module when the address of that module has been recognized. The sub-processors may communicate over the bus with a control processor via an interface HSPI and may perform functions such as storage or I/O control. The common bus may be effectively a loop 26b which includes a shift register IIR in the control processor interface. The address and data outputs of the switch SW in each sub-processor may be connected to address and data shift registers AR, DR for which shift pulses are generated locally and are gated, 25, by a control signal CGL of appropriate duration from the interface or which are supplied directly from the interface. Alternatively the interface may transmit a coded signal representing the data length for decoding in a selected subprocessor to generate or gate the appropriate number of shift pulses. Control logic at the control processor interface may also generate and/or check the parity of information transferred over the bus and may generate a SET signal which initiates parallel transfer of data to or from a shift register in the selected subprocessor to be logically combined in a subprocessor with a decoded internal address or a particular bit of a data register. A sub-processor may include a storage array for which the associated data input, address and data output registers are serially connected in a chain, Fig. 9 (not shown).

Abstract: 1,141,050. Cooling towers. VISCO Ltd. 6 June, 1967 [6 June, 1966], No. 25030/66. Heading F4K. A cooling tower includes an irrigation system which consists of a helical structure down which a liquid to be cooled passes, said helical structure comprising six intercalated regularly spaced continuous paths 13-18 extending downwardly around a central space, each path being in the form of a strip having raised edges 19 to prevent overspill of the liquid, and a fan 11 being mounted in an upper housing 10 to induce air to flow radially inwardly, see arrows 30, between the turns of the helices and then upwardly through the central space, see arrows 31 and 32. Each path 13 to 18 is of greater width at the upper end of the structure than at the lower end, the path width diminishing regularly down the structure, such that the envelope touched by the outer rims of the paths is a cylinder and thus that touched by the inner rims and defining the central space is a truncated cone. The slope, spacing and number of intercalated paths can vary depending on local conditions, as can the surface of each path e.g. the path can be smooth, ribbed, corrugated &c. Also the paths may have one or more slots therethrough whereby the liquid can flow downwardly on the undersurface of the path as well as on the upper surface. The irrigation system is surrounded by louvred litter guards 21, such that where it is desired to have paths of constant width throughout their length, the guards can have apertures of graduated size from top to bottom of the structure, to restrict the air flow at the upper end. Moisture extraction means may be mounted above the distribution system to remove entrained moisture from the air discharge.

Abstract: 1461408 Lipase BRITISH PETROLEUM CO Ltd 10 May 1974 [25 May 1973] 25132/73 Heading C3H A fermentation process for the production of lipase involves cultivating a lipase-producing micro-organism in a broth comprising a microbial lipid as the carbon source typically in a proportion of 1 to 25 g./l., an aqueous nutrient medium and a gas containing free oxygen and thereafter recovering a broth fraction containing lipase. Lipase in solid form may be isolated from the broth by employing conventional techniques. Lipase-producting micro-organisms: species of bacteria, yeast and fungi (specified) but especially Candida lipolytica CBS No. 6331. The microbial lipid is preferably that obtained by extracting with isopropanol the biomass produced by the cultivation of the hydrocarbonutilizing yeast Candida tropicalis CBS No. 6373 on a gas oil boiling range hydrocarbon as the carbon substrate. Phospholipids are removed from the microbial lipid by solvent treatment before use. The yield of lipase is enhanced by including in the broth (1) a dispersant for the lipid, e.g. 0À3-3À0 parts by weight per part by weight of the microbial lipid, of a petroleum fraction which contains n-alkanes and has a boiling range of 250-380‹ C., and (2) non-ionic surface active agent, e.g. 0À05-1À0 part by weight (based on microbial lipid) of either a fatty acid ester of a polyalkylene oxide sorbitol condensate or sorbitan mono fatty acid ester. The fermentation is carried out under mild conditions of agitation with aeration rates in the range 30 to 60 vol./vol./hr. An antifoaming agent (specified) may be included in the broth.
