Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 20,441. Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co., and Round, H. J. Sept. 1. Wireless telegraphy.- In order to prevent interference from atmospheric discharges, the receiving-system is provided with a shunt circuit V, Fig. 1, which is normally a bad conductor and is responsive only to powerful oscillations and then acts as a good conductor, thus wasting the energy of the oscillation-circuit and preventing the operation of the signal-receiving detector D. The shunt circuit V comprises two uni-directional variable conductors, such as Fleming valves, mercury-vapour valves, or crystal rectifiers, connected in parallel and in opposite directions. One of the detectors may act to receive the signals. Fig. 2 shows two Fleming valves V, D arranged in an oscillation circuit S, C<2> with a telephone T. The valve V is adjusted by a resistance R<2> so as not to respond to the normal signalling oscillations, which break down the valve D and affect the telephone T. Powerful oscillations produced by an atmospheric discharge break down both valves, so that no rectification is effected and the telephone T is unaffected. The valves which respond only to powerful oscillations may be placed in an intermediate circuit, to which are coupled both the aerial circuit and the receiving - circuit, which contains a detector and telephone.

Abstract: 23,058. Ives, F. E. Oct. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Colour photography.-In a plate pack for three-colour photography, two plates 9, 10, Fig. 7, for the green and blue respectively, form one member, and are bound together by a binding-strip 14. The binding-strip 15 at the opposite edge embraces also the red plate 11, and serves as a flexible hinge when the plateholder is positioned on the camera, the plate 11 falling at right-angles, as shown in Fig. 2. The plate 11 may be made slightly smaller and the dark slide shaped so as to grip the plates 9, 10 thereby allowing the plate 11 to fall freely when the shutter 7 of the dark slide is withdrawn. The two plates 9, 10 may be adapted to rest on ledges 6<a>, Fig. 5, of the dark-slide, while the plate 11 swings freely. The plates can also be hinged together by flexible bindings at each edge, so that they can be spread out flat and lie singly side by side. The plates 9, 10 have a light-proof backing, and the back of the plate 11 also has a light-proof backing. The transparent reflector 5 and lens 4 are mounted in the camera on a sliding base-plate 3 to allow the pack to be opened and shut. The purpose of the lens 4 is to parallelize approximately the diverging cone of rays from the objective 2, and thereby correct or diminish the distortion incident to the refraction at various angles through the reflector 5. An auxiliary strip 24 shields the plate 10 from any direct light from the objective 2. The strip 24 affects the upper part of the picture on the plate 11 by cutting- off a certain amount of light, and to compensate for this an horizontally elongated diaphragm, Fig. 10, is used in the lens. Alternatively, a single achromatic lens 20, Fig. 3, equal in diameter to the size of the photograph, is used with a diaphragm 21 at a distance in front .equal to its focal length.
