Title: Improvements in or relating to storage cathode ray tubes
Inventor: CARRICK ERIC BRIAN BUTLER
IPC: H01J31/60
Filed: 1960-05-02
Abstract: 904,500. Cathode - ray storage tubes. ENGLISH ELECTRIC VALVE CO. Ltd. Jan. 27, 1961 [May 2, 1960], No. 15284/60. Class 39 (1). A cathode-ray tube adapted to be immersed in a magnetic field includes a foraminous chargestorage target 6 and an electron gun adapted to provide an electron beam movable across the target to produce thereon a charge pattern representative of input signals applied to the control grid 3 or the deflecting coils 12. The same beam is also used for reading, a collector electrode being positioned to receive either that portion of the beam passing through the target or that portion repelled by the target. In the arrangement shown, the beam, when used for reading, is scanned over target 6 to produce an image, corresponding to the stored charge pattern, on luminescent layer 16 and also an output signal from an electron multiplier 9 surrounding the electron gun. Secondary electrons generated at the target, which comprises an insulating coating on one side of a conductive grid, are collected by grid 7. In an alternative arrangement, the electron multiplier may be positioned on the opposite side of the target, the luminescent layer being omitted and an accelerating grid being inserted between the target and multiplier. The storage layer 611 may be stabilized at a slightly negative potential by first raising the storage electrode 6<SP>1</SP> to a potential above the first secondary emission cross-over potential and the potential of the grid 7 to stabilize layer 6<SP>11</SP> at the potential of grid 7, cathode 2 being earthed, and then rapidly reducing the potential of electrode 6<SP>1</SP> to zero. For writing cathode 2 is operated at a negative value greater than the first crossover of layer 6<SP>11</SP>.

Abstract: 1508894 Twisting composite turn using intermittent false twisting COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION 15 April 1975 [19 April 1974] 15448/75 Headings DID and D1F To produce a twisted yarn, a first strand is twisted to have successive zones of opposite twist, the first strand is converged with a second strand so that the strands twist around one another to form a first yarn having successive zones of opposite plying twist, the first yarn is twisted to have successive zones of opposite twist, and the twisted first yarn is converged with a second yarn or further strand so that the two twist round one another to form a stable twisted yarn, wherein the twisting of the first yarn is carried out by passing it through a twisting nip and by acting on the yarn to intermittently lift the running yarn from the nip, and wherein the twisting of the first strand and the intermittent lifting of the first yarn are synchronised. As shown, Fig. 3, drafted strands 6 are false twisted by elastomer-covered rollers 13, 14 which are oppositely rotated and reciprocated out of phase in their axial directions. Each strand then conveys with a continuous filament strand 7 in a guide groove in a guide 19 to form two-ply yarn 8. Each yarn 8 is then intermittently twisted, converged with a second continuous filament strand 7a and wound onto package 9a. Strands 7, 7a are fed to converge with twisted strands through apertures 22 in guides 19. Each yarn 8 is intermittently twisted, Fig. 2 in a nip 32 between two similarly rotated, elastomer-surfaced discs 24, the yarn being intermittently raised from the nip by guide 19a. Rotating cam 47 reciprocates the guides, beam 48, post 49 and panel 42. Flexible panels 44, 44a, e.g. of spring steel or a polymer, clamp the guide motion. Alternatively, Fig. 6, beam 48' supporting guides 19a is reciprocated by cam 47' and supported by spring steel webs 44', 44'a. A thin walled box of resilient polymer may be used to mount the beam to web 28'.

Filed: 1916-11-01
Abstract: 109,866. Jacobsen, R. S. Nov. 1, 1916. Reciprocating sieves.-Jigging conveyers and screens are operated by a crank or arm on a uniformly-rotating shaft driving an eccentric disk rotating on a fixed boss eccentric to the driving- shaft, the eccentric strap and rod being coupled to the trough. In a modification, a uniformlyrotating pulley operates a crank mounted on a shaft slightly eccentric to the pulley centre, and the trough is reciprocated by eccentrics on this shaft. As shown in Fig. 1, a conveyer trough or screen is reciprocated by a rod 23 secured to the strap 18<a> of an eccentric 18 rotating on a fixed boss 13a. The eccentric is rotated with a variable angular velocity by a link 20 and a crank 19 secured to an uniformly-rotating drive shaft 16. A second trough is operated from the shaft 16 by a crank arm displaced 180‹ from the arm 19, and operating an eccentric also displaced 180‹. The second trough conveys material in the same direction as the first or in the opposite direction, according as the centres of the fixed bosses 13<a> are on the same or opposite sides of the centre of the driving-shaft 16. The shaft 16 is supported in a block 13 on which the bosses 13a are formed. Each trough is supported on rollers and may be driven by a pair of rods 23 jointed to it on opposite sides. Fig. 5 shows a speed diagram for one of the troughs, ordinates representing trough velocities, and abscissae displacements. In a modification shown in Fig. 7, the eccentrics are driven from the shaft 16 by crank arms 49 sliding between lugs 47 on the eccentrics. In another arrangement shown in Fig. 11, an uniformly-rotating pulley 40 imparts a variableangular velocity to a shaft 36 by a pin 44 mounted between parallel spokes of the pulley and linked to a pin 43 projecting from each side of a crank 41, the pins 43, 44 being thus in double shear. The troughs are operated by eccentrics on the shaft 36. The pulley 40 has two sets of spokes and two hubs mounted on separate bosses 38. The crank 41 is mounted between the hubs and is secured to the shaft 36 which passes eccentrically through the bosses 38.
