Abstract: 457,680. Cycle mudguards. BLUEMEL BROS., Ltd., Wolston, near Coventry, and BLUEMEL, F. W., Cannon Hill, Kenilworth Road, Coventry, Warwickshire. Oct. 10, 1935, No. 27917. [Class 136 (i)] In a rear mudguard for bicycles, of the type comprising a white or light - coloured panel or tail, the panel is secured, over the whole or a portion of one of its faces, to the mudguard proper, wholly or mainly by adhesion. The mudguard and panel may be made wholly of metal, or of metal and celluloid respectively, but are preferably both formed of celluloid. In one method of making, a flat sheet of celluloid of the colour required for the mudguard proper has applied to one face a length of white celluloid forming a strip along one edge, and this strip is caused to adhere by means of cellulose acetate or other known cement or adhesive, heat and pressure being preferably applied. The sheet is then cut in a direction transverse to the white strip to form a number of composite strips, each of which is then shaped by rolling, pressing, &c. to the desired configuration of a mudguard. As shown, the mudguard 14 is depressed or inset at 13, so that the white panel 15 is flush with the outer surface of the mudguard proper. A single rivet may be employed in addition to the adhesive.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of viscose rayon threads
Inventor: COLE EDWARD HARRY
IPC: D01D10/04
Filed: 1950-11-16
Abstract: <PICT:0707141/IV (a)/1> A continuous process for the manufacture of viscose rayon threads comprises extruding viscose into an acid coagulating bath, withdrawing the thread having at least 5 per cent. acid carry-over based on the weight of the wet thread, continuously advancing the thread in its acid state in an atmosphere having a temperature between 30 DEG -45 DEG C. and a relative humidity between 90 per cent.-98 per cent. without applying dilute aqueous acid, then washing, lubricating and drying the advancing thread and finally collecting the dried thread.  The thread is advanced and washed on a thread-storage and advancing device such as a pair of canted driven rollers or a reel of two interdigitating sets of bar members as described in Specifications 413,413 and 413,414, [Group IX].  Drying is preferably effected on a separate thread advancing device.  In an example, viscose is extruded at 1 into a coagulating bath 2 containing sulphuric acid, sodium sulphate and zinc sulphate at 48 DEG C.  The thread is withdrawn with an acid carry-over of 5 per cent. and passed over a pair of canted rolls 30, 31, the surface of which is divided into two zones by steps 34, 35.  The thread is maintained in the acid state in the first zone and washed with water at 20 DEG C. in the second zone.  The apparatus is enclosed in a casing 13 to which steam is admitted at 15 to maintain the atmosphere within at 35 DEG C. and 90 per cent. relative humidity.  The thread is withdrawn from the casing, lubricated at 22, dried on a pair of driven drums 26, 27 the upper of which is steam-heated, and collected on cap-twister 29. Stretching is effected as the thread passes over the steps 34, 35 and over the stepped ends 32, 33.  In another example, the atmosphere in casing 13 is maintained at 40 DEG C. and 95 per cent. relative humidity, the surface of the thread advancing rollers being divided into two zones by a continuous circumferential groove.  The thread is given a further lubrication after drying. The roller surfaces may also be divided into two zones by a band of non-wetting material as described in Specification 645,171.

Filed: 1971-06-16
Abstract: 1349279 Tracking system ASKANIA GmbH 16 June 1971 [16 June 1970] 28306/71 Heading H4D In a television tracking system wherein the target K, Fig. 1, to be tracked is kept on the intersection of a cross sight M, by moving the television camera under the control of error signal, the interference caused by objects L distant from the cross sight is reduced by decreasing the sensitivity of the tracking system as the detected object (wanted or interfering) gets further from the cross sight. The cross sight is notional i.e. is defined as comprising a certain line H in the scan and a certain column of line points M. The video signal from the camera as it scans line H is shown in Fig. 2B. This is differentiated and then fullwave rectified to give C and D. Waveform D is combined with a triangular "sensitivity" waveform E, having a maximum value at the cross sight point to give waveform F. Comparison of F with a threshold S ensures that only detected objects on or near the cross sight are passed (G) to further tracking circuits. Sensitivity is controlled in the vertical direction by varying the amplification of the video signal, line to line, according to a law indicated by a waveform similar to E. Threshold comparison is then used as before. In the embodiment of Fig. 3 the camera 1 is physically coupled to a theodolite which is to be kept lined up on the target K. Monitor 4 displays a scene, complete with generated cross sight or reticule, as shown in Fig. 1. The sensitivity variation process is carried out in video evaluation unit 7. The timing of the passed signal G is compared with that of the respective reticule signal in discriminators 8 and 9. The outputs, in the form of pulse of width indicative of the tracking errors, are integrated at 12 and 13 to give servo drive signals for means 2 and 3 repositioning the camera and theodolite and, after digital conversion at 14 and 15, divergence data for error indicating means.
