July 8, 1932, No. 19364. Convention date, July 8, 1931. [Class 26.] A bed or couch mounted on a trolley is provided with a convex shelter of transparent material, which can be swung into an inoperative position under the bed when not in use, and which may be constructed of sheets 16 of cellulose acetate or other suitable material stretched upon a frame mounted on trunnions 3 which may be hollow to permit the passage of heating pipes, or pipes for supplying specially treated air, &c. A counterweight 17 is arranged so that the shelter, when released, moves into the protective position, and means for holding it in other positions may be provided. The shelter may have double walls for heat-insulating purposes, and may be provided with screens or blinds to prevent or control the admission of light or other radiations. Shutters such as 19 which may be controlled by the patient may be provided, and the shelter may have apertures to which may be attached surgical gloves, or boxes through which articles may be supplied to the patient. The bed may have a spring- controlled rest 7 adjustable by the occupant. In an alternative construction the edges of the shelter rest in grooves at each side of the bed and either edge may be raised while the opposite edge acts as a pivot. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes another form of shelter having a flat top and lateral flaps and capable of being moved vertically or horizontally relatively to the bed. Reference is also made to a simplified construction comprising a transparent canopy which is fitted over a chair or the head of a bed, and to a transparent removable shelter which may constitute the upper part of a house. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

IPC: B05B7/20
Filed: 1923-07-30
Abstract: 223,978. Meurer, N. July 30, 1923. Blowpipe burners.-In a process for atomizing material in the form of wire by means of combustible gases under pressure which are fed to a nozzle system consisting of an inner, middle and outer nozzle, the atomizing gas emerging between the middle and outer nozzle, a portion of this gas is branched off from the main stream and is used to act on the main jet to change its form to one of elliptical cross-section. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the front part of the nozzle 3 is made double at diametrically-opposite parts to form passages 9 through which part of the atomizing gas is forced. In another form the nozzle 3 is provided with only one passage 9 and is cut off obliquely and provided with a hook-shaped covering-piece. In a third form, Fig. 7, the nozzle 3 is mounted so as to be rotatable producing a so-called centrifugal spray. The mouthpiece 3 is carried in a sleeve 12 provided with ball-bearing races 13, 13<a>, the latter race being fixed to the sleeve 3 having an abutment 3<c> while the former lies against the sleeve 12. The mouthpiece 3<b> is rotated by a portion of the atomizing air which flows between the parts 2a, 3<a> passing through helical slots in a guide wheel 15 and impinging against the blades of a turbine rotor 16 mounted in an annular bore in the part 3<b>. The air after impinging against the rotor blades escapes through apertures 17. The main portion of the atomizing air passes through grooves in the part 2 into the central aperture of the part 3b. To prevent the rotating part 3<b> striking against the articles to be sprayed, a protecting sleeve 19 surrounding the sleeve 12 &c. is secured on the part 3<b> by a nut 18. Specification 25132/13 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,089,102. Fuel elements. BROWN BOVERI/ KRUPP REAKTORBAU G.m.b.H. May 4, 1966 [May 5, 1965], No. 19742/66. Heading G6C. A method of differentiating between different types of fuel elements or fuels in a nuclear reactor with the aid of a marking substance, particularly for differentiating between fuel elements or fuels functioning as the normal fissionable material from those present for test purposes, comprises adding to at least one of the fuel elements or fuels a substance which alters its neutron physical properties and then determining the resultant alteration of the neutron physical properties. A substance which emits neutrons when exposed to γ- radiation, e.g. Be, may be added to the fuel or element to be tested and the tested fuel or element exposed to γ-radiation. The neutrons emitted by the Be are counted in a neutron counting device. The γ-radiation may be provided by an Sb-radiation source. Alternatively, a neutron absorber, e.g. #, is added to the fuel or element to be tested and the tested fuel or element recognized by bombarding the fuels or elements with neutrons and measuring the resulting neutron absorption. The neutron radiation may be provided by Be exposed to γ-radiation from an Sb-radiation source.

Abstract: 1468176 Packaging radiographic films AGFAGEVAERT 10 April 1974 [27 April 1973] 20183/73 Heading B8C Radiographic films are packaged between peripherally sealed thermoplastic sheets, for example of PVC or polyethylene. The longitudinal seals are located at the edges of the film to prevent movement of the film within the package and to allow exact abutment of the edges of the package when it is spirally wrapped around an article, for example a tube, an extended length of which is to be examined. Sealing may be effected ultrasonically or by high frequency electrodes. One example of a package comprises a pair of films 13, 14 sandwiched between paper/lead laminates 15, 16 all located within a pair of peripherally sealed sheets 11, 12. A tab may be welded to one end of the package, pulling off of the tab weakening the seals and facilitating easy opening of the package. A package may be made by passing a film assembly 20 and a pair of covering films 11, 12 between a pair of transverse welding high frequency reciprocable electrodes 27, 28 and a pair of longitudinally welding high frequency rotatable electrodes 29, 30. Packages thus formed are either completely separated by knives 34, 35 or partially separated by them and wound on to a storage reel 36, 37. The transverse welding electrodes may be actuated by sensing the arrival of the leading edge of a film assembly as by a radiation detector device or by a pivoted roller device.

In a first embodiment, Fig. 1, the combining means is a potentiometer 59 whose slider 61 is connected via amplifier 50 to the input transducer 51 to form an oscillator. The transducers 55, 57 are separated by #/4, where # is the average wavelength of surface waves emitted by transducer 51, and the frequency of the oscillator is varied by adjusting the potentiometer slider 61. In a second embodiment, Fig. 2, the outputs of transducers 55, 57 are fed to respective variable-gain amplifiers 63, 65 whose outputs are both connected to amplifier 50. The frequency of the oscillator is varied by varying the gains of amplifiers 63, 65 relative to one another. Rapid electrical control of the gains may be used to effect frequency modulation.
