Title: Improvements in and relating to motion picture cameras
IPC: G03B31/04
Filed: 1969-03-03
Abstract: 1,236,789. Recording and playback; associated working. BELL & HOWELL CO. 3 March, 1969 [10 June, 1968], No. 11148/69. Heading G5R. A cine-camera 11 and a sound recorder 12 are controlled by means of a first switch 141 for controlling the energization of the recorder, a second switch 120 connected between the first switch 141 and the camera 12 for controlling the operation of the camera in response to actuation of the first switch 141, a signal generator 22 for providing a signal when the camera is operating, and means for starting the recorder when this signal is provided upon actuation of the first switch 141. As shown, when the tape recorder 12 is set for recording, the switch 120, Fig. 2b, is closed, causing a transistor 128, Fig. 2d, to conduct so that closure of the camera release button 18 energizes the camera motor 16, plugs 104 and 105 having been inserted in camera jacks 96 and 97. The camera 11 drives a pulse generator 22 which initiates the delayed start of the recorder motor 36, Fig. 2b. If a plug 137 is inserted in a recorder jack 92, the switch 141 controls circuits for the recorder motor 36 and for transistor 128 and hence controls the camera motor 16. If the camera release button 18 is locked closed or is by-passed by a switch 143, the camera may be remotely controlled by the switch 141 which may be in the handle of a microphone. The apparatus is the same as that described in Specifications 1,236,786,1,236,787 and 1,236,788. (For Figures 2c and 2d see next page.)

Compiling and tabulating statistics mechanically.-The characteristics of series of particulars for statistical investigation are represented. by slots c of various lengths on index cards which may bear also notches b whereby they may be locked in a filing and sorting apparatus. The sorting-device comprises the framework 1, 3, and a spring-held bar 19. The cards are placed within the framework and their edges brought into alinement by the end piece 4<1> which can be moved backwards and forwards by turning the eccentric 6. The slots c straddle the bar 19, and the cards rest at various levels depending upon the lengths of the slots, and are held locked by spring-pressed ribs 10 engaging the notches b. The cards may then be sorted by disengaging the top-most rib 10, threading a fork through the holes a in the topmost cards, and thus withdrawing those cards having the shortest slots c. This process is repeated until all the cards are withdrawn. A hole e is preferably provided at the top of each slot, so that one may look through these holes to observe whether or not all the cards have fallen to their proper position on the bar 19. The form and position of the holes a and notches b may be varied, and wire loops may be employed as an alternative.

IPC: B05B7/16
Filed: 1922-04-27
Abstract: 179,184. Meyer, F. April 27, 1921, [Convention date]. Vaporizing by air currents and the like; vapours, delivering.-A process for atomizing and dispersing molten non-metallic substances consists in passing superheated vapour, from an atomizable liquid or solid, into a closed receptacle containing the molten substance, the vapour being constrained to pass through the molten substance and to carry away particles of the same on being allowed to escape through one or more openings of the spraying nozzle type. A feature of the invention is the arrangement of parts to utilize one source of heat to melt the substance and to generate and superheat the vapour used as a dispersing agent. The vapour is such that it will not react with the substance to be dispersed. Water vapour and sulphur are given as examples. The vapour may be passed in turn through more than one receptacle. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) is accompanied by drawings and bears reference, to Specifications 177,517 and 178,467. Fig. 1 (Cancelled), shows a form of apparatus for the prcduction of an atomizing spray, the vapour being generated in an outer annular boiler and superheated in an inner worm concentric with this boiler .and itself surrounding a central vessel for the molten substance, one burner serving as a common heat supply. The vapour passes into the central vessel near its bottom and issues, together with the suspended particles, from a nozzle mounted in the lid. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1502341 Ultrasonic encephelographs SIEMENS AG 21 March 1975 [25 March 1974] 12033/75 Heading G1G An ultrasonic encephelograph has means for displaying the theoretical median echo. As claimed apparatus for ultrasonic echoencephalography of a patient's skull comprises first and second ultrasonic heads 1, 2 switchable between a through-transmission and reflexion mode, a display arrangement 16, 17, 21 for displaying skull echo signals received from within the skull and a marking arrangement associated with the display arrangement for marking the theoretical median echo in the display, which marking arrangement includes a time measurement device with a pulse generator 9 and storage means 11, and includes an impulse generator 5 and a counter 10 both connected with a comparator 12. With the switch 3 in the position shown for the through transmission anode, a pulse received by head 2 is passed through the gate 22 and Schmitt trigger 23, which are enabled during the unstable period of the flip-flop 8, to transfer the count registered by the counter 10 from a 2MHz pulse, generator 9 into the store 11, generator 9 and flip-flop 8 starting simultaneously. In subsequent operation equality between counter 10 and store 11 delivers a marker pulse from the comparator 12 to the vertical deflexion plates 16. Since the horizontal CRT display sweep is synchronized with transmission from the ultrasonic head 1, the total through-transmission time as given by the marker pulse represents the position of a theoretical median echo. In the reflexion mode used thereafter, the head 2 acts as a transceiver, head 1 being inoperative the marker pulse is nevertheless repeatedly generated (by virtue of the count value still in the store 11) through the action of the switch 15 controlled by the oscillator 18.

The holders 2 are mounted on arms 16, which are bowed over the healds 7 and are arranged at intervals across the width of the loom and adapted to hold the end-plates of adjacent tube-frames supported in a line across the loom. When a single tube-frame stretching across the loom is used, the holders 2 are dispensed with. The tube-frame end-plates 18 have lugs 43 to enter the links of the carrier-chain 6, and hooks 20 to secure them in position. These hooks have extensions 21, which are engaged by projections 28 on arms 27 to release them from the chains 6 and also to hold end-plates 18 firmly in the holders.

The shafts 17, 31, 41 are operated to produce the necessary movements of the holders and of the arms 27 on the holders. The holders 1 are provided with inclined or curved surfaces 26 to exert pressure against the end plates of the tube-frames and so assist in holding them in position. Specification 242,683 is referred to.
