IPC: G01N23/16
Filed: 1954-11-02
Abstract: 763,667. Radiation thickness gauges. EXATEST GES. FUR MESSTECHNIK. Nov. 2, 1954 [Nov. 11, 1953], No. 31687/54. Class 40 (3). The thickness of strips such as hot rolled metal is measured by directing penetrating electromagnetic radiation on to it and comparing the secondary radiation and the transmitted radiation. As shown, radiation, which may be X-ray, gamma rays produced by cobalt or caesium isotopes or positrons produced by sodium 22, is emitted by a source 1 and is incident upon the strip 3 under test. Secondary radiation is received on an ionization counter tube 6 and transmitted radiation on a tube 7. The two counter tubes are arranged as adjacent arms of a balanced bridge circuit. A second beam from the same source is used to compare secondary and transmitted radiation from a comparison sheet 11 of the same thickness. The unbalance currents from the two bridges are compared in a third bridge 15 and shown on an indicator 16. In the embodiment of Fig. 1 (not shown), a single beam only is used the bridge being so adjusted that there is no unbalance current if the strip is of the correct thickness.

Title: Band compression device
IPC: G01S7/28
Filed: 1976-07-29
Abstract: 1525141 Band compression device THOMSON CSF 29 July 1976 [1 Aug 1975] 31716/76 Heading G1U A band compression device samples input signals and stores at least two successive samples, these are compared and the process repeated for each pair in a series of n samples so that the sample of greatest amplitude is extracted and passed to an output memory. The storing may be carried out with cascaded memories 1, 2, 3 the signals either side of each being amplitude compared 4 and the result used to control K2 to determine whether the later sample E 1  is loaded into the intervening memory. A clock 7, delay 8 and divide by n counter 9 control the process resetting the output S (t)  Fig. 3 and intermediate memories at the end of each series. The memories may be analogue, sample-hold, or digital; the input memory may be an A/D converter. The compression ratio is the ratio of clock pulse frequency C 3  to C 1 , i.e. n, and there is a delay of n before an output is obtained, and between subsequent outputs. An alternative uses a two way switch or multiplexer (21) Fig. 4 (not shown) between each memory, controlled by a comparator (31) so that the output of a switch is either the input signal or the stored signal. In this manner the largest signal is passed immediately to the output. The compression ratio is equal to the number of stages in cascade. To provide a variable compression ratio either a store may be forced to zero and held there, Fig. 5 (not shown), whereby input signals are fed to the next stage as input or a switch may be forced to the parallel input line to by-pass previous stages Fig. 6 (not shown). It is said that the device can be used to provide improved discrimination in radar and lidar systems, for the rejected weaker signals would normally be unwanted noise or clutter.

Filed: 1956-10-18
Abstract: 823,983. Weighing apparatus. KO-OPERATIVA FORBUNDET EKONOMISK FORENING. Oct. 18, 1956 [Oct. 21, 1955], No. 31784/56. Class 143 A weight recording apparatus comprises a disc 4 moved by the indicating shaft of a weighing scale, two separate sets of feelers which sense the position of the disc and thereby measure the numbers of major and minor order weight units which together represent the total weight of the load on the scale, and type which is set by the sets of feelers to produce a record of the numbers of major and minor order weight units together with the separate computed prices corresponding thereto. Movement of a handle 11 through one revolution causes the following cycle of operations, first cam 12 moves a spring- loaded pin carrying plate 21 towards the disc 4, so causing one of the pins 22 to pass through that one of a series of holes 5 in the plate corresponding with the number of minor order weight units. Next a cam 13, acting through linkage 24, 26 causes rotation of a disc 28 to a position in which stop 31 abuts against the pin extending through disc 4; teeth 32 on the periphery of disc 28 rotate a wheel 75 (Fig. 4) during this part of the cycle thereby setting the minor order weight on type wheel 76 and the corresponding computed price on type wheel 77. Then cam 14 causes a further set of pins 37 to move towards a series of abutments 6 on the face of disc 4 thereby causing the pin corresponding with the number of major order weight units to be moved rearwardly of pin carrier 36. Cam 15 then causes a rack 53 to move across the disc to contact the moved pin 37 and, in so doing, the rack drives pinion 64 thereby setting the major order weight on type wheel 70 and the corresponding computed price on type wheel 71 which also prints the unit price of the goods. Finally cam 87 causes stamper 82 to print the information set on the type wheels. Wheels 71, 77 may be replaced by other wheels corresponding to different unit prices.

To emphasize points of a given selected radiation intensity of a radiation pattern produced by X-rays the pattern is converted into a video signal and marking pulses corresponding to the selected radiation intensity are added thereto, the combined signal being displayed on the screen of a television receiver. To produce the video signal either the radiation pattern is scanned directly by a scintillation detector or a radiograph 1, Fig. 1, obtained by photographic means or with the aid of a dash printer is scanned by a television camera 2. The video signal 7 is fed through an amplifier 3 and a trigger circuit 5, which produces the marking pulses 8 at the selected level 9, to a summation circuit 6 and the combined signal is passed to receiver 4. With a long persistence display the radiograph and marks may be photographed. A plurality of different radiation intensities may be displayed simultaneously by employing a plurality of trigger circuits each adjusted to different levels, the amplitude and polarity of the marking pulses being adjustable. The trigger circuit, Fig. 2, not shown, includes a D.C. clamping circuit (13) followed by a differential amplifier (11) which controls a Schmitt trigger (10), the marking pulses being produced by differentiating (22) and (23) the two output pulses of the Schmitt trigger.

IPC: F16H3/60
Filed: 1926-12-20
Abstract: 263,493. Matteucci, R. Dec 21, 1925, [Convention date]. Reversing-gearing suitable for ship propulsion comprises a frictional epicyclic train 4, 8, 9, Figs. 1 and 2, and an expanding device which proportions the adhesion automatically to the load. A driving-shaft 1 carries a cone friction clutch member 2 and a hub 3, which is connected through the expanding device 7 &c. to the sun gear track 4. The annular track 9 is connected through a web 10<1> to a driven shaft 10. The planet rollers 8 are spaced apart and carried bodily by a cage 11 which has a splined connection 12 with a web 13 secured to a double friction cone 14. A spring 16 normally holds the cone 14 in engagement with the cone 2 so that the cage 11 turns with the track 4. The rollers 8 can slip very little if at all, and drive the annulus 9 and shaft 10 substantially solid with the shaft 1. When a lever 19 is moved from position A to position O, the spring 16 is compressed and the clutch 14 is freed, disengaging the drive. Further movement of the lever 19 to position R brings the double cone 14 into engagement with an adjustable non-rotary brake ring 24. The cage 11 is held against rotation, and the annulus 9 and shaft 10 are driven reversely at reduced speed. A modification is described in which the brake ring is the innermost of the nested friction cones and is supported on a fixed gear casing. The automatic expanding-device for the track 4 comprises centering rollers 5, Fig. 2, and resilient rollers 6, to produce initial grip, as described in Specification 227,768, [Class 80 (i), Gearing, Belt &c.]. A plate or lever 7 extends from a notch in the hub 3 between the abutting ends of the split track 4, and serves to prise these ends apart and so expand the track against the transmitting rollers 8. The lever 19 may be operated by a rod 31, Fig. 4, which is normally held with its pivot P in position 4 by the clutch spring 16. When fluid is admitted to a cylinder 35, a pistonrod 33 rises, bringing the pivot P to position O. When fluid is admitted also to a cylinder 35<1> by a suitable valve, a piston-rod 33<1> rises, bringing the pivot P to the second definite gear position R.
