Title: Geodesic massively-parallel supercomputer with improved thermal management
Inventor: ARAS RICHARD JOHN EDWARD
IPC: G06F1/16
Filed: 2009-12-24
Abstract: Communication latency, now a dominant factor in computer performance, makes physical size, density, and interconnect proximity crucial system design considerations. A massively-parallel computer which may be a dense, spherically framed, geodesic processor arrangement is proposed to address supercomputing hardware challenges: spatial packing, communication topology, and thermal management. However, the methods may be scaled and is largely independent of processor technology, for different computing tasks for example in climate modelling. The computer's interconnect features globally short, highly regular, and tightly matched distances. Communication modes supported include neighbour-to-neighbour messaging on a spherical-shell lattice, and a radial network for system-synchronous clocking, broadcast, packet-switched networking, and 10. A near-isothermal cooling system, physically divorcing heat source and sink, enables extraordinarily compact geodes with lower temperature operation, higher speed, and lower power consumption.
Patent GB-200207-A (GB)
Title: Improved apparatus for use in automatic telephone or like systems
IPC: H01H63/30
Filed: 1922-04-08
Abstract: 200,207. Conrad, H. S. April 8, 1922. Relays; retarded contact devices. - Fig. 1 shows the construction and arrangement of a relay 13 provided with a light armature 30 which responds to rapid interruptions in the relay circuit, and with a heavy sluggish armature 14 controlling a valve 19 in a pipe 20 leading from a compressed air source to a compressed air motor performing any desired function when the circuit through the relay is permanently interrupted. The valve 19 is provided with an inlet pipe 20, Fig. 3, an outlet pipe 21 and vent openings 22, two valve member 23, 24 inside the casing, being formed with stems 25, 26 which contact within a reduced channel 27. Normally the member 24 is held upon its seating, by the air pressure in the pipe 20, against the action of a spring 29, Fig. 1, which presses the heavy armature 14 against an extension 28 of the member 23. When the relay 13, which may have two windings, is energized over the wires 1, 2, the light armature 30 opens contacts 32, 33, whilst the attraction of the heavy armature 14 together with the force exerted by the spring 29, overcomes the air-pressure in the pipe 20, and the armature 14 pulls up, closing contacts 17, 18, and opening the valve 19. The contacts 32, 33 are closed every time the light armature 30 relapses in response to a circuit interruption but the heavy armature 14, is held until the relay is finally de-energized, the difference between the force exerted by the air in the pipe 20 and the spring 29 being insufficient to retract the heavy armature 14 during rapid circuit interruptions.

Title: Rapid, solid state reduction of oxidic ores
Inventor: HEWLETT ARTHUR JAMES
IPC: C21B13/08
Filed: 1965-03-11
Abstract: A mixture of oxidic ore and reducing agent is charged into a rotary kiln inclined at a small angle to the horizontal, the charge travelling in counterflow to hot combustible gases while oxygen-containing gas is controllably admitted so that there is maintained at the discharge end of the kiln a temperature such that the ore is reduced to metal without fusion, while the reduction zone is progressively extended towards the charging end until maximum metallization is obtained. The rate of feed of the charge, and the kiln rotation speed, are then varied and the supply rate of oxygen-containing gas consequently adjusted to again produce a reduction zone of length such that maximum metallization is obtained. The oxygen-containing gas may be admitted by means of inlet tubes spaced along the kiln and passing through the wall thereof, while the bed may occupy 15-45% of the kiln volume.  Mathematical relationships for the operating conditions relating to the two feed rates are derived.

Patent GB-107061-A (GB)
IPC: A41F3/00
Abstract: 107,061. Sloper, T. June 12, 1916. Blocks acting on drums; force-transmitting mechanism.-Relates to Bowden-wire brakemechanism in which the wire is laid in a curved path, and is so arranged that the wire and casing of the wire each operate separate brakes. The brakes are mounted on the circumference of a fixed wheel-like support. In the form shown, four brakes C', G, are mounted on opposite sides of a wire-spoked, fixed wheel B of the type described in Specification 15086/15. The pull of the wire J operates the brakes C<1> through a sliding yoke D, links C' and levers C, and the thrust of the casing H operates the brakes G through a slide H<1>, links and levers. The brakes operate on the inside of a drum X, which may be carried by the wheel of an aeroplane. In this example, the end of the casing H at the operator's end is fixed, and the movement of the slide H' is due to the tendency of the casing to assume a straight line when the wire J is pulled. The pull-wire may be held stationary at the operator's end and the casing moved, or both wire and casing may be moved in opposite directions.

Title: Improvements in or relating to high-frequency apparatus embodying impedance-matchingtransformers
IPC: H01P5/02
Filed: 1944-06-03
Abstract: 584,444. Impedance transformers. COLLARD, J. June 3, 1944, No. 10725. [Class 40 (iii)] An impedance-transformer comprises two quarter-wave-length sections of a wave guide or coaxial line having different characteristic impedances Z1 and Z2 and connected in tandem between a high-frequency source having a resistive impedance S and a load whose impedance becomes complex on departure from the mean frequency of the source. At the mean frequency, the resistance of the load is supposed to be. tuned out so that a resistive impedance A remains, but at a frequency removed from the mean frequency, the load impedance acquires a complex value (A+jM) so that the transformed impedance at the source end of a single #/4 section has a real part which is dependent on the value of M. At the end of the pair of sections, however, the transformed impedance is (A+jM) Z1<SP>2>/Z2<SP>2>, SO that the real part is independent of M and can be made equal to the resistance S of the source. Alternatively, any even number of sections may be used, and each of them may be any odd multiple of #/4 long. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 539,194.
