Title: Process and apparatus for powder-dispersed composite electro  plating
IPC: C25D21/10
Filed: 1974-01-25
Abstract: 1463987 Electro-plate including particles SUZUKI MOTOR CO Ltd 25 Jan 1974 [26 Jan 1973] 3582/74 Heading C7B In the electro-plating from a metal salt bath containing dispersed particles of a non-conductor selected from SiC, WC, an insoluble metal oxide or carbide, a solid lubricant or an organic polymer, whereby the electro-deposit includes the particles, the bath is recycled upwards through the bath. Flow control is effected via a variable pump, a flow control valve and a dispersing plate in the base of the bath vessel. Particles of 0À1-10Á dia. of SiC, WC, TiC, MoS 2 , (CF) n , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2  or SB rubber are specified. The metal may be Cu, Ni, Zn or Sn, deposited from a usual bath at a velocity of 0À1-1000 cm/sec, a c.d, of 1-300 A/dm<SP>2</SP>, and electrode separation 0À2-10 cm. Degreased, acid- or zinc-treated engine parts may be plated which may be in the form of annular parts vertically stacked with intermediate seals so as to form the vessel for the bath, with a coaxial anode.

Title: Low temperature apparatus for measuring currents
IPC: G01R15/20
Filed: 1959-02-02
Abstract: 911,371. Superconductor circuits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Feb. 2, 1959 [Feb. 3, 1958], No. 3676/59. Class 40 (9). [Also in Group XXXVI] A superconductive element G is used in a current indicator. The element G is connected in series with a feed-back coil C 2  which tends to drive the element into a resistive state. A superconducting control coil C 1  also tends to drive the element towards a resistive state when it is fed with a current to be measured. Initially the voltage source is adjusted so that the element G operates somewhere, on the transmission characteristic (Fig. 1b) between zero resistance and normal resistance. When a current is applied to coil C 1 , the resistance of the element G is affected and more or less current flows in coil C 2 . The current indicator I is calibrated to indicate the current in C 1 . The arrangement may be used in a bridge (Fig. 3, not shown) to produce a voltage as a measure of the current in coil C 1 . In Fig. 2, the voltage drop across superconductive element G indicates the current in primary coil C 1  of transformer T. The element G is biased to the middle of the characteristic by means of a voltage source V 1  and a variable resistor R 1 . The transformer windings C 1 , L 1  and the winding C 2  on the element G are all superconductive. Even a constant current in coil C 1  induces a current in coils L 1 , L 2  sufficient to neutralize the flux introduced by C 1 . In a further modification, Fig. 4, the feed-back coil C 2  is driven by an NPN transistor controlled by the volt drop across element G. A meter M in the feed-back circuit indicates the current in coil C 2 .
