Title: Vibration damping device in particular for ships
IPC: B63B39/03
Filed: 1973-08-22
Abstract: 1442217 Diminishing vibrations CHANTIERS DE L'ATLANTIQUE 22 Aug 1973 [24 Aug 1972] 39882/73 Heading B7S [Also in Division F2] Propeller and wave-induced vibrations in a ship's hull are damped by an inertia weight vibration damper fitted into the hull of the ship above the propeller. The vibration damper (depicted in more detail in Figs. 1 and 2, not shown, but see Division F2) consists essentially of a chamber containing two gas spaces (12, 13) separated by a body of liquid (11), the liquid acting as an inertia weight tuned by the gas, one of the gas spaces being subdivided into two compartments 14, 15 connected by a device (a so-called fluidic diode 17, not shown) which makes flow from 14 to 15 easier than from 15 to 14. As shown the chamber of the damper is of anchor shape in cross-section to provide symmetry, and has three gas spaces acting on the body of liquid. The presence of the fluidic diode enables the damper to adjust itself so that its frequency approaches the excitation frequency of the ship. The damper has an auxiliary damper 20 in communication with it via the fluidic diode. The auxiliary damper contains a smaller mass of liquid and comes into operation at a lower frequency than the main damper so as to damp the vibrations which arise when the propeller screw is being started up from rest.

Abstract: 1283341 Teaching machines WOOL JUTE & FLAX INDUSTRY TRAINING BOARD 27 Aug 1969 [28 Aug 1968] 41014/68 Heading G5G In an electrically-controlled teaching machine an endless belt carries a plurality of items of information which in use are sequentially or selectively presented for viewing by a student and there is a common set of predetermined solutions to problems presented by the items. For each solution there is a corresponding operator member, e.g. a switch, and when one of these is actuated the student is given a RIGHT or WRONG indication. There may be a plurality of RIGHT responses to any given problem, in which case a further problem arises, the RIGHT response to which consists in actuating the operator members in a predetermined correct order. The invention is described with reference to the training of loom operators. The endless belt 5, Fig. 2, carries specimens of cloth visible one at a time through an aperture 4. This presents to the trainee a problem consisting in detecting the fault (if any) in the specimen. He operates one of a plurality of push-buttons on a panel 10, Fig. 1, to indicate what fault he thinks is present and is given a RIGHT or WRONG indication. The means controlling which particular response to each problem will be signalled as RIGHT is conventional electric circuitry controlled either automatically by a punched-card program or by manually-set connections made by inserting appropriate bridging connectors into pairs of sockets on the panel 10. The apparatus may also include means for providing the trainee with audible information-e.g. the sound of a loom functioning normally or abnormally-and with further visual information such as a movable display element 13, Fig. 1, which represents the working movement of loom combs. Thus the trainee sees and hears a representation of the action, normal or abnormal, of loom and a specimen, faulty or faultless, of cloth produced by loom. A plurality of such loom simulators may be connected to a common control unit, Fig. 7 (not shown) and the trainee is required to identify the fault in each case. If he is right, he is then given further information-e.g. information from which he can estimate the time in which each detected fault could be remedied- and is required, on the basis of this information, to state in respect of each fault whether it should be remedied first, second, third &c., e.g. on the basis that the fault most quickly treatable should be dealt with first and that taking longest last.
