Patent GB-1165863-A (GB)
Title: Control apparatus suitable for a Machine Tool
Inventor: HAMILTON GRAHAM ARCHIBALD
IPC: G05B19/23
Filed: 1968-04-04
Abstract: 1,165,863. Indexing. ROLLS-ROYCE Ltd. 4 April, 1968, No. 16326/68. Headings B3B and B3C. [Also in Division G3] An apparatus, e.g. an indexable table of a drilling machine, receives a succession of input signals, expressed as an integral number of first magnitude units, which are stored as an integral number of second units of larger magnitude the value of which differs from the value of the input signal by an error less than a second unit, the errors are accumulated and the quantity stored is adjusted to make the error more nearly zero when the accumulated error equals or exceeds a second unit. As shown, decades D1-D5 are set by dial switches 23a-23e to a desired decimal position value. The decades D1-D4 are connected in a ring circuit whereby when they are all at zero a pulse is produced on a line 20 to stop the motion of the indexable table. The decade D5 is connected through an OR-gate G1 to the decade D4 and constitutes a secondary error store. The primary error store comprises a decade D6 connected to the decade D5 by an AND-gate G2 which is opened by a signal, through a line 25, to allow a count in the decade D5 to be transferred to the decade D6. The decade D6 is controlled by an AND-gate G3 Which is enabled, by a notzero signal from decade D6 and a signal on a line 28, to pass pulses from a pulse generator 31 for storage in the decade D5 equal in number to the count in decade D6. The gate G3 closes when the decade D6 is empty. When the desired position value is set in decades D1-D5 a sequence switch (not shown) is stepped to apply the signal 28 to the gate G3 and transfer the count in the decade D6 into the decade D5. The indexing head is then rotated by pulses applied to a stepping motor and the contents of decades D1-D4 counted to zero by feedback pulses through a line 21 and the gate G1. A zero-count the signal on line 20 stops the motor and the sequence switch is stepped to apply the signal 25 to and transfer the contents of decade D5 to store D6. Subsequent holes are indexed and the process repeated until the decade D5 is over-filled by the accumulated error when the decade issues a carry pulse which through gate G1 increases the count in decade D4 by 1 unit. The residual error in decade D5 is retained and accumulated as further positions are indexed. The sequence switch can be manually operated or, in an automatic control system, operated by a limit switch responsive to withdrawal of a drill head with respect to which the indexing head is positioned. Alternatively, the whole sequence of operations, including the setting in of the position values can be controlled by a punched or magnetic tape.

Title: Flameproof and/or flame retardant alkenyl aromatic resins
Inventor: JAHN ALEX KARL
IPC: C08K5/5337
Filed: 1962-05-02
Abstract: Flameproof and/or flame-retardant polymer compositions and foams produced therefrom contain as the thermoplastic component one or more alkenyl aromatic polymers and as flame-proofing agent one or more organic bromine-containing phosphonates having three aliphatic substituents, one of which is directly linked to the phosphorus atom and the remaining two aliphatic radicals being linked to the phosphorus over oxygen bridges. The aliphatic substituents are preferably C1 to C8 alkyl radicals or cycloaliphatic radicals, and one or more of the aliphatic substituents may be substituted by halogen atoms of which at least one is bromine. Preferably an organic peroxide is employed as a synergist for the phosphonate, the organic peroxide preferably having a half life of at least two hours at 100 DEG C. (in benzene). In addition a conventional bromine containing flame-proofing agent free from phosphorus may be added. The alkenyl aromatic polymers are the normally solid polymers of one or more polymerizable monoalkenyl aromatic compounds comprising in chemically combined form at least 70% by weight of at least one alkenyl aromatic compound <FORM:0959419/C3/1> where Ar is an aromatic radical or a nuclear substituted aromatic halohydrocarbon radical of the benzene series and R is hydrogen or a methyl radical. The foaming agent, which may be incorporated during or after the completion of the polymerization, may be a volatile fluid organic compound which dissolves appreciably in the solid polymer but in which the polymer is insoluble or only swells e.g. saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons containing 4 to 7 carbon atoms and perchlorofluorocarbons having a molecular weight of at least 58 and a boiling point not higher than 95 DEG C. at 760 mm. absolute pressure, may be used. Lists of phosphonates, organic peroxides, monoalkenyl aromatic monomers, foaming agents, organic bromides and polymerization catalysts are given. The monomers may be polymerized in suspension, preferably in the presence of a peroxygen polymerization catalyst. In the examples (a) 100 parts by weight of styrene is copolymerized with 0.04 parts by weight of divinyl benzene, the foaming agent being n-pentane, (b) 99.924% by weight of styrene is copolymerized with 0.04% of divinyl benzene and 0.036% of ethylvinyl benzene, the foaming agent being n-pentane.
