Abstract: 1,208,772. Thermal storage space heaters; boilers. ALEXANDER DUNN Ltd. 21 Dec., 1967 [29 Sept., 1966], No. 43568/66. Headings F4A and F4U. In a thermal storage air heater 10 adapted to additionally heat water and wherein a variable speed fan 14 directs air from an inlet (21, Fig. 2) through a passage 28 into an electrically heated storage mass surrounded by insulating material, the heated air on leaving the storage mass via passage 29 is selectively directed by a deflector plate 39 either directly into the fan housing 14B and then to an air outlet 25 or indirectly thereto via a chamber 35 housing a water heater 38. The fan 14 admixes the heated air entering the fan housing 14B with cool incoming air, recirculates heated air through the storage mass and emits heated mixed air through the outlet 25. A valve 51 is provided to control the volume of air leaving the outlet 25 and a further valve 50 controls the volume of air passing into the storage mass, the valves being actuated manually or automatically. The position of the valves 50, 51 together with the deflector plate 39 determine the mode of operation of the heater 10; for example with plate 39 as shown and valve 51 shut the heater serves solely to heat water. A limiting thermostat (47, Fig. 2) is positioned adjacent the blocks 13 forming the storage mass to prevent overheating. The heater 10 as shown utilizes storage blocks of iron, concrete or refractories. Alternatively hollow storage blocks filled with aluminium or salt mixtures or other medium having a suitable high latent heat of fusion or heat producing chemical action may be used. In a modification the water heater may comprise a series of finned tubes extending between upper and lower header tanks. Immersion heaters may be incorporated to supplement heating, if required. The hot water may be used to supply radiators in a central heating system. In a further modification the insulation 46 may be replaced by a water heater connected to an external storage tank. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,071,781.

Title: Testing and Matrix Arrangement.
IPC: H04M3/26
Filed: 1968-09-18
Abstract: 1,182,216. Automatic exchange systems. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP. 18 Sept., 1968 [22 Sept., 1967], No. 44283/68. Heading H4K. The free or busy state of interstage links of a network SN is tested over resistors R 1  each connected in common with terminals of a resistor R 2 , a capacitor C 1 , and a diode W 1 , one potential E 1  being connected to R 2  and a second potential E 2  being connected to diode W 1  such that an interrogation pulse applied to the capacitor will or will not drive the diode W 1  to conduction according to the potential detected on the associated link of the network. The test resistors R 1  are terminated on crosspoints of R 2 , C 1 , W 1  components in a matrix the rows of which are interrogated to produce test results on column wires. To reduce parasitic capacitance of the columns each effective column comprises a set of m column wires each wire receiving the interrogation results of a set of crosspoints from n matrix rows. Each set of m column wires is commoned over decoupling diodes to one of the single column outlets P 1  to Pk with buffer amplifiers BA 1  to BAk to provide low output impedances. Interrogation is effected from a scanner SC which also scans the rows of a number of other matrices, the corresponding column outlets of all the matrices being commoned to the inputs of amplifiers A 1  to Ak which drive a register REG to record the idle/busy pattern of any interrogated row in any selected matrix as directed from a processor. The potential E 1  is 5 volts, the potential E 2  is 12 volts over a low value resistor and a diode W 2  for each column wire, diodes W 2  preventing spurious outputs due to short-circuit diodes W 1  at the crosspoints. Interrogation pulses from the scanner are 12 volts. Free links are disconnected and allow crosspoint diodes W 1  to conduct when interrogated. Busy links are at a negative potential of a magnitude which varies according to link type; resistors R 1  and R 2  being chosen in accordance with the associated link to give zero potential at their junction for a busy link which consequently hold the associated diode W non- conductive during interrogation. Amplifiers BA and A are transistorized, Fig. 2 (not shown). The network SN comprises four stages of relay matrices, a connection being set up by operating a relay in each stage step-by-step from the junctor to the line side of the network. Each matrix has an extra row wire X 1  which is not associated with network links. A periodic interrogation of the associated crosspoints produces readout on all columns and tests the amplifiers A and BA since any missing registration in REG will indicate a fault.
