Abstract: 1,233,809. Glass fibre manufacture. W. H. W. SCHULLER. 5 Sept., 1969 [7 Sept., 1968], No. 44128/69. Heading C1M. A method of producing glass fibres comprises the steps of exuding a drop of molten glass through a nozzle and allowing it to fall under gravity drawing a filament of glass behind it, and contacting the descending drop and the adjacent portion of the filament with a curtain of liquid such as water which is being propelled transversely of the direction of descent of the drop at sufficient velocity to deflect, accelerate and sever the drop and filament portion from the remainder of the filament. The liquid curtain 8 is provided by a conduit 15 having one or more nozzles disposed at the upper end of a guide surface 9. The curtain 8 is directed so that it first contacts the surface 9 at one-third of the way along its length. The conduit 15 may be protected against contact with the filament by a cover 16, and may have additional nozzles to spray liquid on to the adjacent part of the surface 9 to clean it. In use, the drop 5 and filament portion 6 contact the liquid in area C and are deflected in the direction D so that the remainder of the filament 7 is drawn on to a drawing drum 1. Contact with the liquid shatters the drop and filament portion and the resultant fragments are deflected by a screen 13 on to a conveyer 14.

Abstract: 1297203 Semi-conductor devices; printed circuits PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 11 March 1970 [14 March 1969] 11667/70 Headings H1K and H1R An electrode comprising two metal layers, the first being less noble than the second, is manufactured as follows: a transistor is formed within a substrate 1, and a windowed insulating layer 5, e.g. of silica deposited on one surface; the first metal layer 8, e.g. of chromium, is deposited on the insulation 5, and the substrate via the windows 6, 7 and immediately the second metal layer 9, e.g. of silver is deposited on the layer 8 so that no oxidation of the layer 8 is possible; a resist layer 10, which may be photosensitive is deposited on layer 9, and masked and etched; the layer 9 is then etched, under etching resulting in the remaining portions of layer 9 being smaller than the remaining portions of resist layer 10 as shown in Fig. 2; the resist layer 10 is then softened, e.g. by acetone vapour resulting in the layer " bulging out " and surrounding the layer 9 portions as shown in Fig. 3; the layer 8 is next etched, the enlarged resist layer determining the new shape of the layer 8, and preventing galvanic action between the two metals taking place in the presence of the etchant by its protection of the edges of the layer 9 from the etchant; finally the resist layer 10 is removed leaving accurately dimensioned two part electrodes. Alternative metal layers may be chromium and gold or titanium and gold. The substrate may be of germanium or silicon. In an alternative method, following etching of the resist and second metal layers an aluminium layer is deposited over the surface and the resist layer subsequently softened. The aluminium layer forms a mask which retains the resist layer to its original etched proportions and also allows the resist layer to protect the flanks of the second metal layer. Prior to etching the first metal layer both the aluminium layer and excess region of the resist layer are removed.

Abstract: 1319263 Cable continuity testing RIST'S WIRES & CABLES Ltd 26 Sept 1970 45958/70 Heading G1U Cables 25, 26, 27, Fig.2, particularly in a car wiring harness, are tested for continuity by connecting each between corresponding contacts US1 US2 of a uniselector arranged to step automatically until a non-continuous cable is located. In order that different cable harnesses may be tested, circuit boards 20 are employed each carrying appropriate couplings 21, 22 for the particular harness to be tested and being connectible by plugs and sockets to the test apparatus. The board 20 shown is designed for a harness in which the third cable 27 has an internal branch connection to a cable 28. Also in order to be able to test a large number of cables, a second uniselector having banks BS2, BS3, is provided so that pairs of banks US1, US2; US3; US4; &c., of the main uniselector are brought into operation sequentially. As described uniselector BS2, BS3 moves to its first position in which banks US1, US2 of the main uniselector are selected. Testing then proceeds, each continuous cable under test causing the stepping coil US of the main uniselector to be energized and advance the uniselector to its next position. When a non- continuous cable is encountered stepping of the uniselector stops and lamps on a further bank then indicate the location of the faulty cable. Testing may be restarted by depression of a key S3. When the main uniselector has made one revolution, a pulse from a bank not shown advances the second uniselector so that the next pair of banks US3, US4 becomes operative. After the whole harness has been tested, this being detected by the presence of a voltage on the wiper of a switch S4 which was initially set in the appropriate position, the system automatically resets itself.
