Title: Improvements in electronic translating devices
IPC: H01J31/04
Filed: 1942-11-20
Abstract: 563,561. Electric measuring systems. ZIEBOLZ, H. Nov. 20, 1942, Nos. 16476 and 16477. Convention dates, Nov. 4, 1941, and March 17, 1942. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Groups XXXVI, XXXIX and XL] Electronic translating apparatus including a cathode-ray tube is characterized by the combination of means for intercepting the cathode beam, an input system applying a deflecting force to the beam to vary the amount of interception by the intercepting means, and a system responsive to the amount of interception by the intercepting means for establishing an opposing deflecting force which varies synchronously with the deflection of said beam and increases in proportion to the amount of deflection of said beam until equilibrium is established between the two deflecting forces and the deflection is thereby limited. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which a cathode-ray beam 25 works between anodes 26, 27 connected to a load 31. Deflection of the beam due to a signal resulting from physical change or mechanical movement from a device 33 is effected by a coil 32. A compensating coil 34 energized from a potentiometer 35 connected across the output, exercises an opposite effect to coil 32 to improve the linearity of the output characteristic. According to modifications, Figs. 2-9 (not shown), either or both of the coils 32, 34 may be replaced by a pair of electrostatic deflecting plates or by a movable permanent magnet or electromagnet. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 11, the primary deflection of the electron beam is caused by mechanical displacement of a permanent magnet 46, and a compensating coil 34 is provided. Zero setting means for compensating for the magnet 46 in its initial position is provided by a coil 46a fed by a battery 46b and coupled to coil 34. With this arrangement an ammeter 45 gives a measure of the displacement of the magnet 46 and hence a measure of the quantity causing the displacement. In a further modification, Fig. 12 (not shown), the zero setting is performed by an adjustable permanent magnet. The arrangement may be used in translating electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic signals, or for measuring electrical, physical or chemical quantities. The Specification as open to public inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts also includes the matter which is the subject of Specification 564,382, [Group XL]. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

IPC: H01J17/52
Filed: 1962-04-30
Abstract: 962,681. Thermionic valves. M-O VALVE CO. Ltd. March 29, 1963 [April 30, 1962], No. 16527/62. Heading H1D. A thyratron has a cylindrical cathode 4 surrounded by a heat shield 19 having internal fins 28 which, during de-gassing of the cathode, receive emissive material therefrom and thus contribute appreciably to the total anode current during valve operation. The cathode is of porous tungsten impregnated with alkaline earth metal compounds, has a separate heater 15, and is supported by two metal spiders 23 which connect it electrically to the cylinder 19. This cylinder is secured at its lower end to a ceramic disc 20 secured across the envelope 1 which is of metal; its top end is frusto-conical (Fig. 1, not shown), and co-operates with a baffle to reduce evaporation of emissive material on to a control electrode. The cylinder and fins are of molybdenum. The control electrode comprises three metal discs whose peripheries are secured to the envelope, and each has two arcuate slots to pass a discharge to the anode, which also is of disc form and is supported in an insulating member which closes the top of the envelope. A barretter is housed in the lower end of the cylinder, opposite holes which reduce heat conduction. The valve is filled with deuterium at 0.3 mm. Hg, and a replenisher is housed beneath the ceramic disc 20, which is perforated. After assembly the valve is evacuated and heated to 700‹ C. for several hours. The cathode temperature is then raised to 1150‹ C. for three hours to evaporate emissive material including barium on to the fins. The valve is for 5 microseconds pulse operation at 2,500 amps and under these conditions the invention economizes on heater power. Complete dimensions are given. The heat shield 19 need not be connected internally to the cathode but to an external pin.

Title: Improvements in and relating to food preservation and flavouring
Inventor: SIMPSON THOMAS HARDY
IPC: A23L27/27
Filed: 1959-05-15
Abstract: In preserving foods, especially fish, by wood smoke, improved flavour control is obtained by subjecting the smoke to electrostatic precipitation to remove the particle phase and employing the condensible phase not so precipitated.  Smokes from oak, ash, hickory and beech are suitable.  Particles of size greater than 0.1 micron, of tarry compounds, are precipitated. Control of smoke temperature controls equilibrium between the particle and condensible phases.  A mechanical filter may be interposed between the smoke generator and the electrostatic precipitator to remove largest particles; such filter may be of glass wool or the like, coated, preferably, with a resin charged to exert electrical attraction on the particles.  The food may be treated directly with the unprecipitated fraction; alternatively, the unprecipitated fraction may be dissolved in water, brine, vinegar, or oil, and the food dipped in the solution. According to the example: Smoke produced at 400 DEG  C. from oak sawdust is passed into a vertical glass column surrounded by an aluminium sheet to form an attracting electrode, the ionizing electrode being a fine wire hanging vertically in the column, terminating at its lower end in a ball below the aluminium sheet, and having a potential of 15,000 volts.  The particle fraction deposits on the glass as heavy tar and is run off at the bottom of the glass column.  The unprecipitated fraction is led up a column packed with senske rings over which water runs in counter-current to the smoke flow, a deep yellow solution being obtained.  Split herrings are dipped in this solution for 2 minutes, and dried. Specifications 781,591, 862,837 and 879,316 are referred to.
