Title: Chemical process for production of potable water from non-potable saline waters
IPC: C02F1/18
Filed: 1943-08-11
Abstract: 570,670. Purifying water. SUNSHINE MINING CO. Aug. 11, 1943. Convention date, Aug. 4, No. 13022. [Class 46]. Saline waters, such as sea water, which are non-potable by reason of contained sodium chloride and magnesium chloride are made potable by stirring or otherwise, dispersing in a quantity of the water sufficient silver oxide or carbonate to precipitate substantially all the chlorine and magnesium with the formation of a sodium hydroxide or carbonate solute in the water and thereafter adding to the liquid a sufficient amount of a weak non-toxicorganic acid to form a non-toxic sodium salt of such acid. The silver oxide or carbonate may be added as a powder or a paste made with non- saline, water to be extracted from a collapsible tube. Suitable organic acids are the hydrous succinic acids more particularly hydroxysuccinic acid' or malic acid and dihydroxysuccinic acid or tartaric acid; also lactic acid and citric acid. For the removal, in addition, of sulphates of magnesium, calcium, potassium present in the saline water barium hydroxide is added to precipitate the sulphates as barium sulphate with magnesium, hydroxide also precipitated together with formation of calcium and potassium hydroxides which react with the weak non- toxic organic acid to form non-toxic salts of such acid. Preferably the weak non-toxic organic acid is added in such quantity as to give a pH value of 5.8 (for citric acid) to the potable water, this being determined by colour change of a suitable indicator such as dibromothymolsulfonphthalein packed in with the acid. The treated water is filtered or decanted from the precipitates.

Title: Gyroscopic apparatus
IPC: G01C19/00
Filed: 1919-05-24
Abstract: 149,100. Gray, J. G. May 24, 1919. Gyroscopic apparatus.-A turn indicator for use on moving vehicles comprises, in the form shown in Fig. 1, a gyroscope 1 secured in a frame 13 which is stabilized into the vertical by a rotating erector 3 of the kind described in Specification 130,697. A horizontal disk 4 is secured to an extension of the erector spindle and rotates a friction disk 10 carried by a horizontally-displaceable mass 9 and operating counting-mechanism 12. Rods 6 secured to the mass 9 pass through guides 5 and are connected by cords 11 and springs 8 to the frame 13. The displacement of the mass 9, due to its own inertia, when the vehicle turns, causes rotation of the disk 101 the counter 12 indicating the total turn. The frame 13 is mounted in a gimbal frame so as preferably to be in neutral equilibrium. The displaceable mass may be carried by a pivoted sector gearing with a pinion carrying a pointer which then indicates the rate of turning. In the form shown in Fig. 4, two equal but oppositely-rotating gyroscopes 13, 13<1> are mounted in a stabilized frame 17 so as to be capable of precessing about axes 14, 14<1> against the action of springs 8, 8<1> when the vehicle turns. The rods 6 are connected by cords 11 and springs 16 to the gyro 13, a mass 9<1> being provided to compensate for the inertia of the mass 9. Since the gyros 13, 13<1> rotate in opposite directions, the torque exerted on the frame 17 is zero.

Means for cooling a gas turbine part made of non-porous material, comprise a piece or pieces of porous metal inserted in the part and surrounded by a cover-plate or casing connected to a source of supply of cooling fluid and conducting the fluid to the piece or pieces. Fig. 1 shows a connector 1 which extends from the flame tube of a combustion chamber to the turbine inlet. Inserts 3 of porous metal, which may be produced by pressing and sintering powdered metal, are welded to the connector by the process described in Specification 691,983, [Group XXII], and are each surrounded by a cap 5, also welded to the connector. Compressed air is supplied to the caps 5 through pipes 11 and passes through the inserts 3 to cool the adjoining parts of the connector 1. In another embodiment, an elbow conveying hot gas is cooled by a porous insert, supplied with cooling air in the manner shown in Fig. 1, and a hollow guide vane within the elbow has the inner or both side faces formed of porous metal and supplied with cooling air through the hollow space within the vane. The compressed air for cooling may be bled from the compressed air supply to the combustion chambers, or compressed air or nitrogen may be supplied from bottles. Alternatively, liquids may be used, such as water, liquid metals or a small proportion of the paraffin or other fuel of the gas turbine. Specification 619,634 also is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to remote control systems
IPC: G05D3/14
Filed: 1958-04-26
Abstract: 869,667. Electric remote positional-control systems. COLE Ltd., E. K., and COPPIN, K. J. July 20, 1959 [April 26, 1958], No. 13308/58. Class 40 (1). In a remote positional control system for a shaft by coarse and fine, automaticallybalanced potentiometer systems, the fine transmitting and receiving potentiometers each have two diametrically opposite sliders enabling the system to eliminate any 180 degree ambiguity and to use circular potentiometers covering more than 180 degrees but less than 300 degrees, a relay arrangement ensuring that corresponding sliders are in contact with the fine potentiometers before final balance is effected. As shown (Fig. 1), coarse transmitting potentiometer BV1 and fine transmitting potentiometer RV2 are preset to values determining the angular rotation of a shaft RS, potentiometer RV1 being linear with ten equidistant tappings each producing one complete revolution of shaft RS, and RV2 being a circular potentiometer with two, diametric, insulated sliders W1, W2 controlling the angular position of shaft RS. Operation of pushbutton PB1 energizes relay CR to bring a polarized relay BR into the unbalance diagonal of the bridge formed by transmitting potentiometer RV1 and receiving potentiometer RV1A, followed by forward relay FR or reverse relay RR, whereby motor M runs in the appropriate direction and drives shaft RS and the slider of RV1A via a 10 : 1 step-down gearing through a toothed wheel CW and pawl S, so that the slider moves by equal discrete amounts with each revolution of RS. Mounted on the shaft RS is the fine receiving potentiometer RV2A which also has two, diametric, insulated sliders W1A, W2A and the coupling between shaft RS and pawl S is such that at each discrete position of the slides of potentiometer BV1A, slider W1A is in contact with the potentiometer wire if the motion has been anticlockwise, and vice versa. When balance between potentiometers BV1, RV1A is achieved, relay BR falls, followed by FR or RR, and CR, an intermediate relay PR holding back by the charge on a parallel capacitor C1. This enables BR to be connected in the diagonal of the fine bridge formed by potentiometers RV2, RV2A, between sliders W1 and W1A, the contacts of relay PR providing an additional bias voltage along resistors R3, R4 which produces a preliminary adjustment to ensure that at least the appropriate slider W1A, W2A is in contact with the potentiometer wire. After preliminary balance and a delay whilst capacitor C1 discharges removing the additional bias voltage, the bridge comes to its final balance position, with the aid of a relay HR if slider W2 is in contact with potentiometer RV2. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 2, not shown), the voltage at sliders W1, W2 of potentiometer RV2 is selected with the aid of a group of decade potentiometers.
