Abstract: 412,214. Refrigerating; heating. ELFVING, T. M., 21, Erik Dahlbergsgatan, Stockholm. Dec. 20, 1932, No. 36097. Convention date, Dec. 21, 1931. [Classes 29 and 64 (ii).] A circulating heat-transferring system 14 containing a condensible medium for cooling an element, for example the generator absorber 1, of a refrigeration system comprises a movable portion which can be set in different positions of inclination to vary the place at which the condensate in the system collects. For instance, when the tiltable air cooled condenser 16 of the heat transfer system is in the position shown in full lines the condensed medium runs down into a jacket 2 round the generator absorber 1 and cools it by its evaporation therein. When the condenser is tilted in the position shown by the dotted lines the condensed medium collects therein and the cooling effect on the generator 1 ceases. The condenser may be tilted by a thermostatic relay. Connections may be taken from each end of the condenser so that its tiltings may operate cooling systems for two generator absorbers alternately. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also the application of the transfer system to heat exchange generally. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1346660 Moulding articles of fibrous elastomeric material SEMPERIT AG 3 Aug 1971 [5 Aug 1970] 36437/71 Heading B5A [Also in Divisions B7 and C3] In a method of moulding an article, e.g. a tyre, conveyer band or bellows, composed of an elastomeric material in which fibres are embedded, a preform of such material is moulded and then subjected to a treatment causing the fibres in one section to be differently orientated from fibres in another section. In the moulding of a tyre, a tread 12 is positioned in a mould and a web 15 having fibres oriented in the peripheral direction is then located in the mould which comprises a main compartment 7 and auxiliary ring-shaped compartments 5, 6 with pistons 8 and 9. The latter are displaced to force the material in the compartments 5, 6 into the remainder of the compartment 7 causing the fibres forming the tyre sidewalls to be reorientated in the radial direction. The mould core 4 has grooves 18 influencing the flow direction. In a modification the mould has ring- shaped sections at the bead regions rotatable in the peripheral direction causing orientation of fibres in that direction. In a further embodiment the auxiliary compartments are located adjacent the bead regions and the mould core 29, Fig. 6, includes a ring-shaped section 30 with ribs 31 movable in the peripheral direction providing peripherally orientated fibres. Fig. 14 illustrates a mould for the production of a conveyer band with side walls in which a semifinished product 65 with lengthwise orientated fibres is located in a mould cavity and its end portions are compressed by sections 66, 67 and forced into portions 69 causing re-orientation of the fibres into the transverse direction. The elastomeric material may comprise mixtures of natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber and polybutadiene rubber. The fibres may be of polyester, rayon, polyamide, glass or metal. By the appropriate design of the tyre mould, e.g. its grooves or ribs, asymmetrical tyres may be produced.

Abstract: 1520887 Multifrequency receivers WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 5 Sept 1975 [12 Sept 1974] 36740/75 Headings H4K and H3T In a signal persistence checking circuit 46, 47 in which the duration of an input signal (from gate 44) is monitored and, if the signal persists for more than a pre-set time, an output signal ENB of a second pre-set duration is generated, the pre-set periods are derived from the output of a clock oscillator 47. A multifrequency signal receiver using the checking circuit is shown in Fig. 1. An input signal in 2- out-of-8 coded form is separated into respective high and low frequency components by filters 12, 13, 14. Dealing with the low frequency component, after clipping at 16 this will be passed by one of the low frequency channel filters, e.g. 18, to a comparator 27. Having satisfied a threshold requirement-37-the low frequency component is gated at 44 with the high frequency component, which has been processed similarly, to provide the input signal whose persistence is to be checked. If the signal is verified as genuine, the resulting signal ENB applied to all the comparators 27-34 will be gated through the two (one high-, one lowfrequency) appropriate ones to produce two control outputs. The digital timing circuit 46 is shown in detail in Fig. 2. It comprises basically two counters, a 16- state ripple counter 49 and a four-count synchronous Gray code counter 51, the two being interconnected by a gating arrangement and being driven by the output of clock 47 via a divide-bytwo circuit 50. Counter 49 provides interval timing and governs the duration of the two pre-set periods t 2 , t 3 , Figs. 3 3 and 4 (not shown). Counter 51 is used for the sequence control of counter 49.

Abstract: 786,040. Statistical apparatus; electric digital-data-storage apparatus. DIRKS, G. June 23, 1950 [Oct. 1, 1948], No. 37221/54. Divided out of 786,021. Class 106 (1). Apparatus for recording data sensed from a perforated or equivalent record medium comprises a control circuit adapted to be made effective when a character-representing perforation is detected by sensing means operating in synchronism with cyclic recording means which latter records a signal in a magnetic storage member at a position representing the same character. In a first embodiment successive rows of a perforated card 3 are scanned by a beam of light 5 deflected by a polygonal mirror 2, and each perforation detected by a photocell 4 causes ignition of a gas tube 14 via an amplifier 15. During the scanning of one row of the card, a magnetic drum 9 makes a complete rotation and a group of recording heads 13<SP>0</SP> ... 13<SP>9</SP> pass over a series of denominational areas equivalent to the columns of the card. A commutator 20 completes the circuit of one recording head only of the group 13<SP>0</SP> ... 13<SP>9</SP> during the scanning of the corresponding digit row of the card. Each time the tube 14 is fired, the screen grid of a pentode 16 is raised to allow conduction in that tube when a datum point for the denomination is detected by a head 18. Such a signal fires a further tube 19 and allows current through the selected recording head of the group 13<SP>0</SP> ... 13<SP>9</SP> to record a precise differentially-positioned signal on the drum track. In another embodiment the recording of combination-code signals is described. Instead of a scanning system and single photo-cell, a plurality of gas-filled photocells may be employed controlling pentode amplifiers each with a recording head in its anode circuit. Two successive groups of photocells may be provided for cards having upper and lower combination-coded areas.
