An electrical connector 30 is first secured to each board member and it is provided with times (36), Fig. 3 (not shown), overlying a detachable section 38 of the member. Some of the elements 44 are then assembled on the board members in succession by a pantograph locator. The pallet is then transferred to other workstations where other electrical elements are inserted manually. Certain of the openings in the board members are shielded and the pallet is washed prior to being passed over a fountain (60) of solder, Fig. 5 (not shown), the shielded openings remaining free of solder to allow further elements to be manually soldered at a later stage. The pallets are then degreased and the board members separated. Each board member is mounted in a fixture 84, which moves back and forth over the router 90 along a path 91 determined by a slot 93. When the board member is placed in the fixture, a micro-switch actuates the router and the fixture contacts a further micro-switch at the end of its movement to stop the router prior to removal of the board member. Further components, e.g. switches, are fitted and the completed printed circuit board member is assembled in a casing to make a calculator (94), Fig. 9 (not shown).

Title: Face-pumped laser device
Inventor: MARTIN WILLIAM SONDERMAN
IPC: H01S3/06
Filed: 1969-08-04
Abstract: 1,274,550. Lasers. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 4 Aug., 1969 [27 Aug., 1968], No. 38975/69. Heading H1C. An end pumped laser element 12, Fig. 1, has pumping radiation from discharge lamps 36 concentrated on to one of its major faces by a right-angled prism 13 of refractive index at least #2. The active medium may be made up of several elements 12 of ruby or neodymium glass, cooled by a liquid, such as dimethylsulphoxide, of similar refractive index flowing through channels 22 and between the elements. The liquid is stated to reduce the necessity for optical flatness of the element faces it contacts. Mountings 25, 27 and 28 hold the prism, elements and a fused silica or quartz substrate 17 in position, O rings 34 preventing coolant loss. An alumina reflector is situated behind xenon discharge lamps 36, each of which comprises a lamp 37, water jacket 38 and an ultra-violet and infra-red filter 39. The Porro prism 13 directs all radiation incident on faces 14 or 15 on to the face 16 and hence on to elements 12. On the rear of substrate 17 are prisms 18, backed by a reflector 19 having apertures 20, 21, also seen in Fig. 3. When used as an amplifier, radiation enters through aperture 20, passes through elements 12 and enters prism 13 at 1<SP>1</SP>. The radiation leaves the prism at 2<SP>1</SP>, passes through elements 12 and strikes one of prisms 18 at 3<SP>1</SP>. It is then reflected to and fro as indicated in Fig. 3, and exits at aperture 21. Alternatively a mirror 41 may be placed at aperture 21 so that emission is via the inlet 20, separation of input and output paths being achieved by turning reflector 41 through a small angle. If, with mirror 41 covering aperture 21, a partially transmitting mirror 42 is placed over inlet 20, the laser will act as an oscillator. By adjusting the optical axis of the radiation path relative to the prisms, it is stated that angular mode separation is achieved and transverse modes may be substantially eliminated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to nuclear fuels
Inventor: HEDGER HARRY JOHN
IPC: G21C3/64
Filed: 1961-11-03
Abstract: A nuclear fuel composition comprises a dispersion of uranium nitride in iron, having a melting point below 1600 DEG C. This temperature corresponds to a minimum 46% by weight of iron, and the temperature is chosen because conventional casting techniques may be employed up to this temperature, giving material of lower porosity than would be achieved with powder metallurgy.  The percentage quoted corresponds to a concentration of up to 17 atoms per cent of uranium as a nitride in iron. If the iron phase includes a small amount of metallic uranium, up to 18 atoms per cent is allowable. If the fuel is to be used in a fast neutron reactor, the minimum limit is 12 atoms per cent of uranium as a nitride. Up to 50% of the uranium nitride may be replaced by the equivalent weight of plutonium nitride.
