Title: Repulsion Motor with Divided Stator Winding.
IPC: H02K27/08
Filed: 1912-05-14
Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 11,434. Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon. May 26, 1911, [Convention date]. Alternating-current commutator machines.-- The stator winding of a motor of the repulsion type is divided into two sets of coils S<1>, S<3>, Fig. 2, and S<2>, S<4> connected in series, the axis of the larger set of coils S<2>, S<4> coinciding with the axis of the short-circuited working brushes x<1>, x<2>. The motor is reversed by reversing the connexions of the coils S<2>, S<4> by means of a two-pole switch U, and the motor is given a shunt characteristic by connecting a pair of auxiliary brushes y<1>, y<2> in parallel with the coils S<2>, S<4>, either directly or through a twocoil or auto - transformer T. The auxiliary brushes y<1>, y<2> are preferably connected up to the switch U so that the direction of the current through the brushes remains unaltered when the connexions of the coils S<2>, S<4> are reversed. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement in which the stator has four coil sets connected in series, the ooil sets S<2>, S<6>; S<3>, S<7>; and S<4>, S<8> being reversible, while the auxiliary brushes are connected up directly to the winding part S<3>, S<7>. In this latter arrangement, and also in a further modification employing a transformer having two secondary windings, the motor may be operated as a braking generator after the line current has been cut off. The working brushes x<1>, x<2> may be short - circuited through an additional winding on the transformer T feeding the auxiliary brushes.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Incandescent Lamps.
IPC: H01K1/56
Filed: 1913-02-04
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 2901. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 4. Residual gases.-Double halogen-compounds of aluminium and metals of the alkalis or alkaline earths are placed near the filaments. Fluorides such as cryolite are preferred, and other compounds, for instance fluorspar, or sodium, or potassium fluoride, may be added to them. In use, the compounds reach temperatures between 3009 and 800‹ C., about 500‹ being preferred, at which they are conjectured to yield small amounts of halogens. Powdered cryolite, for instance, may be mixed with water or a binder such as water-glass, caramel, glucose, gum or tar, such as is used in making a carbon paste. A bead of the mixture is applied to a filament-supporting hook, or to an independent wire on the stem of a lamp, but without touching the filament, and is then carbonized by a flame, or by baking the whole mount at 300‹ C. The bead may engage both sides of a hook, for greater security. The lamps may with safety be heated to 375‹ C. during exhaustion. According to the Provisional Specification, other fluorides may be used instead of cryolite or the like, such as ammonium fluoride, potassium hydrogen fluoride, potassium hydrofluoplumbate, K3HPbF8, and ammonium fluosilicate, (NH4)2SiF6.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 3027. Emmet, W. Le R. Sept. 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Regulating marine turbines driving propellers through electric transmission mechanism. Regulation at normal speeds is effected by a handwheel 18 mounted upon a cam shaft 17, which operates a number of admission valves 16. A speed-governor 21 controls a servomotor 32, which actuates a valve 38 in the steam supply pipe 20. The governor 21 is normally inoperative, that is, for all speeds up to the maximum speed attained during the normal operation of the ship. The valve 38 is, therefore, normally fully open. When adjusting the electric transmission, however, the turbine may he suddenly unloaded, whereupon the governor 21 comes into operation to maintain the turbine at a speed slightly in excess of the normal maximum speed. To prevent injury by sudden jars, the rod 27 in the governor transmission-mechanism is made in two parts flexibly connected together by a sliding yoke 28 and springs 29.
