Title: Improvements relating to flexible sheet material
Inventor: PEARSON ROLAND WILLIAM
IPC: D04H5/02
Filed: 1962-10-02
Abstract: A leather-like sheet material comprises a mat of interpenetrated crimped continuous filaments having a non-woven layer of unspun staple fibres needled on to or otherwise adhered to at least one surface thereof, the interpenetration of the filaments being in the nature of an intermingling at random in three dimensions produced by laying the crimped continuous filaments under tension and subsequently releasing the tension, and the mat of continuous filaments and the staple fibres being bonded together with a resinous or elastomeric bonding agent. The layer of staple fibres may be a random-laid non-woven fabric bonded with a resinous or an elastomeric bonding agent or a lightly needled carded or air-laid web.  The staple fibres may be synthetic, artificial or natural fibres, crimped nylon fibres being mentioned.  The needles may penetrate the combined fibrous webs from either side but preferably the continuous filaments are punched into the staple fibre layer.  The depth of penetration of the needles may be 0.050 to 0.500 inches and the intensity of punching may be 2,000 to 5,000 punches per square inch.  The punches may be given in a single or in several passages through the needling machine.  The continuous filament mat may be obtained by relaxing two or more warp sheets of edge-crimped continuous filament nylon yarns, and the bonding material may be a compounded butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer rubber latex containing zinc oxide, sodium silicofluoride and carbon black. The staple-fibre fabric side of the composite web may be coated by spraying with a high molecular weight thermoplastic polyurethane rubber solution containing methyl ethyl ketone, burnt umber, ferrite yellow, red iron oxide and titanium dioxide.

Title: Improvements in tube and shell heat exchangers

Abstract: 1,263,254. Condensing of vapours. FOSTER WHEELER JOHN BROWN BOILERS Ltd. 25 July, 1969 [8 Aug., 1968], No. 37989/68. Heading BIB. [Also in Division F4]  A fluid as it flows over a group of tubes in a heat exchange installation, is heated by a vapour such as steam passing through and condensing within the tubes, flow restricting means being located in the vapour flow path and being so arranged that irrespective of how much vapour is condensed in each tube, a small amount thereof remains uncondensed, said vapour passing out of the tube and being recirculated to the inlet ends of the tubes. In use, the flow restricting members are sized to restrict the flow of vapour into a tube according to its position in the tube group, the object being to prevent flow stagnation in any one tube.  In the installation shown, low pressure steam is the fluid to be heated as it flows from an inlet 72 and over the tubes 54 to an outlet 74. The heating steam entering at 92 is circulated by a thermocompressor 90 to which is connected the recirculation line for the uncondensed vapour leaving the tubes. The flow restricting means comprises orifices 96 of varying sizes in the inlet header 64 to the tubes. Condensate is discharged at 78 and a permanent bleed of vapour and non-condensible gases is provided at 84. In a further arrangement described employing U-tubes (104 Fig. 3) the apparatus may be arranged with the tube limbs slightly tilted to allow tube drainage on shut-down.

Title: Improvements in or relating to arrangements and methods for the adjustment of equalizers for a coaxial cable for carrier frequency telephony
IPC: H04B3/10
Filed: 1958-11-27
Abstract: 886,162. Electric analogue calculating. TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L. M. ERICSSON. Nov. 27, 1958 [Nov. 29, 1957], No. 38317/58. Class 37. [Also in Group XXXIX] In a system in which equalization is effected by a plurality of adjustable cosine networks, the values of the adjustments to make these networks is obtained from an analogue computer fed with attenuation values obtained from observations on different pilot frequencies. Fig. 3 illustrates, above the line, the pilot frequencies (in kc/s.) used in a conventional carrier system, and below the line, corresponding angles # from 0 to 180 degrees. The various networks have attenuations of the form r n  cos n#, where n=0 ... 12 and the r n 's are readily adjustable by a simple manual control for each network. By measuring the levels of the pilot frequencies and by suitable (linear) interpolation the overall attenuation correction required at frequencies corresponding to 15p can be obtained. If these values are represented by y p , then The k n p are all stated to have one of the values ,  cos 15m (m=0 ... 6) and are tabulated in the Specification. Accordingly in the analogue computer, Fig. 5, a potentiometer 53 fed from an alternating current source 51 has tappings whose voltages relative to the central (cos 90) point represent all the various values for k np . Switches K which are gauged, have a position for each attenuator, and in any position, say the nth, are respectively connected to tappings corresponding to k np . Each output such as that from K1, is now fed to the primary windings of a pair of transformers T101, T102, whose secondaries feed tapped resistors R101, R102, whose tappings are set in accordance with the corrections required at the pilot frequencies 308, 556. The turns ratios of these transformers are so chosen that the combined outputs from the tappings taken in series provides an interpolated value for the frequency corresponding to cos 15. For a given value of n, a set of voltages corresponding to the terms of the series are thus obtained, and these are connected in series to a valve voltmeter RV which gives the magnitude of the correction for the equalizer for which the switches K0 . . . K12 is set. Reversing switches PV101, PV102 are provided for catering for negative corrections. Since the voltmeter RV will not indicate the phase of the voltage it receives (and hence it will not be known whether the correction is positive or negative), a switch TK is arranged to switch in a small further voltage of given phase, so that the original phase can be deduced by observing whether the deflection increases or decreases. Specification 725,287 is referred to.
