Abstract: 1,006,910. Discharge tubes. WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. Jan. 4, 1963 [Jan. 31, 1962], No. 536/63. Heading H1D. In a discharge tube comprising coaxial anode 11, grid 27 and cathode 25, a radial magnetic field is established between the cathode and anode. The combined action of the magnetic and electric fields causes non-radially emitted electrons to assume a more nearly radial path, and hence reduces the grid current. As shown, a radial magnetic field is established between polepieces 31, 33 of magnets 37, 38. Cooling fluid is circulated between anode 11 and polepiece 31 and through bore 35 of polepiece 33. The inner polepiece may be structurally combined with the discharge tube instead of being a separate element inserted in a re-entrant part 23 of the envelope. The cathode 25 may be tubular, but preferably comprises a plurality of axially extending rods in a cylindrical array. The grid 27 comprises a similar array of rods, and may be of platinum-clad molybdenum, titanium, tantalum or gold-plated molybdenum. Additional grids, aligned with grid 27, may be provided. The copper anode, instead of forming part of the valve envelope, may be separately disposed within the envelope. The electrodes are supported by insulating discs 29.

IPC: A22C17/14
Filed: 1960-01-11
Abstract: 881,940. Gut-slitting apparatus. BJORKMAN, C. G. Jan. 11, 1960, No. 946/60. Class 31 (1). Apparatus for slitting gut comprises a guide peg over which the gut is trained and fluid jet means acting obliquely on the outer surface of the gut for moving the gut along the peg and over a cutting blade disposed substantially perpendicular to the path of movement of the gut over the peg. The apparatus shown in Fig. 7 comprises a hollow peg 18 over which a gut is trained, the gut being moved along the peg by means of fluid jets 20 to the runs of a driven endless band cutter 24. The run 55 passes through a slot 54, Fig. 8, in the peg and the run 57 is disposed between the inner edge of the peg and a spring 56, for distending the gut laterally, and is maintained from sidewise vibration by a finger 53. The gut is cut into four ribbons 60, 62, 64, 66, Fig. 10, and these are conveyed with the fluid into four hoppers, e.g. 26, 32, Fig. 7, and thence into pipes 110, 112, 114, 116 which are connected at their other ends to swingable flow directing elements 38, Fig. 2. The cut ribbons are directed into troughing apparatus 14, Figs. 1 and 2, the upper reaches of which comprise four inclined troughs, the base of each of which has a medial slot in which is disposed an intermittentlydriven endless belt provided with longitudinal endless wires having upstanding lateral ends to act as snagging means 40 for immobilizing the cut ribbon adjacent the leading end thereof. For this purpose, the elements 38 are first swung so as to be directed towards one side of each trough and then swung so as to be directed towards the other side of each trough. The lower reaches of the troughing apparatus comprise plates 186, Figs. 1 and 2, provided with grooves 187 and ridges 189 to receive the trailing ends of the cut ribbons. The lower of the plates 186 conveys the fluid to a box 192 provided with a wire frame 193 and an overflow 195. The peg is provided with orifices 48, 49, Fig. 7, through which fluid is delivered for distending the gut, facilitating its threading on the peg and lubricating its passage over the peg. The operator stands on a platform 103, Fig. 1, and depresses a treadle 105 to operate a valve to admit fluid, e.g. water, to piping 107 and thence to nozzles 22, Fig. 7. Conduit 111, Fig. 1, conducts fluid independently of the treadleoperated valve to piping 115 and thence through passages to lubricate the band cutter. A conduit 121 conducts fluid to the lower end of the peg. The guts for training over the peg are obtained from a tank 16, Fig. 2, and placed initially around a horn 100. Means are provided for adjusting the tension of the band cutter and for adjusting the distance between its runs. In a modification, Figs. 23 and 25 (not shown), the gut is cut into only two ribbons.
Patent GB-1376268-A (GB)
Title: Computer
IPC: G06F15/02
Filed: 1973-01-08
Abstract: 1376268 Digital data processors PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 8 Jan 1973 [11 Jan 1972] 955/73 Heading G4A A computer comprises a central processor E and optionally an auxiliary processor A. Operations are executed on an address associated with an instruction received from a store MEM. If the auxiliary processor is present and operative the address is processed in it, but if it is not the processing takes place in the arithmetic unit of the central processor. When clock unit CL gives a signal control unit CBE reads out and increments program counter PC. The command from PC passes via unit CAC to store MEM where it reads out an instruction word from the corresponding storage position. The instruction word passes over line OL2 to registers OPC and OPAD which respectively store the instruction code and operand address portions of the instruction. The instruction can not pass direct to registers OPS, ADS because unit BLOC is blocked if the auxiliary processor A is operative. The address is processed in ADB and passes to address register ADS. The instruction code is checked for parity, &c., in INT. This unit INT also includes an address counter which blocks unit CBE until the end of a series of addresses implicit in the instruction word is reached. The unit INT is connected to instruction register OPS. The processed address in ADS passes to the store MEM which provides an operand from the corresponding address to operand register ORS. Control unit CBE now causes arithmetic unit RE to request the instruction from OPS and the operand from ORS, and to execute the instruction on the operand. Auxiliary processor is now available for a further sequence of operations, and so the next instruction and operand may be available for execution by RE at the instant that RE has completed the preceding execution, i.e. look ahead facility is present. The result of each execution in RE passes to store MEM via register ORS2.  If processor A is absent or inoperative the arithmetic unit RE of processor E processes the instruction word read from MEM under the control of a command signal from RE on line CL1, unit BLOC now being unblocked. The instruction passes to OPS and ADS. The address portion is processed in RE and returned to ADS to select the operand from MEM. Unit RE also processes the instruction code from OPS and performs the necessary operations on the selected operand, the result passing to MEM via ORS 2.

Title: Non-destructive inspection of high-temperature member
Inventor: MATSUZAKA KIYOU
IPC: G01N17/00
Filed: 1981-01-07
Abstract: PURPOSE:To measure degree of deterioration of a high-temperature member in passing of time and a non-destructive manner, by measuring the difference in an electrical resistance between a member of an actual equipment and a material to be heated, which is to undergo the same thermal hysteresis as the actual equipment member and not to undergo the stress. CONSTITUTION:A constant current I is made to pass through a power supply terminal 6 to an actual equipment member 1 and also to a heated material 2 which is held at the same temperature and for the same period of time as the actual equipment member, and potential difference E1 and E2 are measured by a potentiometer 4 at measuring terminals 5. Differences from the pre-operation initial values E01 and E02, that is, E1-E01=DELTAE1 and E2-E02=DELTAE2, are sought, and when a variable from the initial values becomes as DELTAE1/E01-DELTAE2/E02<0, it is to be determined to have entered the acceleration creep region. As it is possible, in this manner, to measure the creep life of a metallic material, which is to be used under a high temperature and a high stress, in a non-destructive manner, occurrence of breakage can be prevented and the time for replacement of parts can be foreseen, and therefore, the period of operation shutdown can be shortened.
