Title: Apparatus for and method of coating confectionary articles
Inventor: NIGHTINGALE STANLEY WILLIAM
IPC: A23G3/20
Filed: 1966-03-16
Abstract: 1,112,141. Coating and enrobing confectionery. THOMAS COLLINS & CO. Ltd. 17 Nov., 1966 [16 March, 1966], No. 11451/66. Heading A2A. In a method and apparatus for coating or enrobing confectionery, specifically cakes, with an extrudable, edible, plastic or paste-like substance, specifically icing, circular cakes 13, Figs. 2 and 3, are placed over holes 14 along a conveyer 10, e.g. moving intermittently, which brings a  cake under the elongated dispensing slot 16 of an icing dispenser 17. A turntable 15 is then raised, through the corresponding hole 14, to raise the cake closer to the slot, and is then turned, through one complete rotation, whilst icing is dispensed on to the cake. The turntable is then lowered, through said hole 14, to deposit the coated cake -on the conveyer, which brings another cake under the slot, and the above operations are repeated. As shown; one end of the slot is aligned with the axis of rotation of the turntable and cake, and the length of the slot 16 is substantially equal to the radius plus the height of each cake, so that icing is deposited on the top and side surfaces of each cake. Alternatively, the length of the slot may be equal to, or less than, the radius of each cake, so that the deposited icing just covers; or only partly covers, the top of each cake.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling a stepping motor
IPC: H02P8/32
Filed: 1971-04-27
Abstract: 1343954 Control of stepping motors EXCELL-O CORP 27 April 1971 [9 June 1970] 11528/71 Heading H2J  The rotor of a stepping motor is damped by energizing all of the stator windings for a preselected time interval during the progress of the rotor from one stepping position to the next. As shown the stepping motor 10 drives a punched paper tape 20 whose feed holes 20a optically scanned produce pulses FH, which are given a standard profile in circuit 31a, and, in the tape read mode, limited in frequency by an RC "window" circuit to control reading speed. Each pulse from circuit 31, via circuit 33 changes the count of counter 24 in a direction sense determined by command unit 26, and for each count of 24, a corresponding stator winding is energized, Fig. 2 (not shown). For rotor damping a one-shot multivibrator 34 emits a pulse to OR gates 28, one for each winding, after a predetermined delay and for a predetermined time during the motion of the rotor to energise all stator windings. In the fast rewind mode, the pulses FH are not limited in frequency. The bidirectional counter utilizes a pair of J-K flipflops, whose outputs are selectively fed in pairs to AND gates (27-1, 27-2, 27-3), Fig. 3A (not shown), and hence, via the OR gates 28 to transistor amplifiers in the stator winding circuits. The motor windings may be arranged in three groups, one group being energized for each rotor step.

Title: Improvements relating to continuous combustion gas turbine power units
Inventor: GUARDIOLA JUAN GIL
IPC: F02C3/08
Filed: 1954-04-21
Abstract: 765,350. Gas turbine plant. CASALE, F. B. April 21, 1954, No. 11541/54. Class 110 (3). [Also in Group XII] In a continuous combustion gas turbine engine in which the combustion equipment is housed within the turbine rotor and rotates therewith, the fuel injectors of the combustion equipment are directed towards the axis of rotation of the turbine and also in a direction opposed to the direction of rotation of the turbine. The gas turbine engine shown comprises a hollow rotatable shaft 11 on which is mounted the impeller 5 of a centrifugal compressor and a turbine rotor comprising rotating flame tubes 43. Air flows into the double entry 7 of the compressor inlet and issues through pipes 9 into the ducts 10 formed in the casing. The air then flows through the hollow shaft 11 into the rotary combustion section which comprises seven flame tubes 43 mounted within outer shells 37, 37<SP>1</SP> connected to the hollow shaft 11. A central core portion 38 is rotatably mounted within the shells 37, 371 and is connected to a rotary fuel supply pipe 33. The shaft 11 is mounted in bearings 12 and the fuel supply pipe 33 and core 38 are mounted in bearings 35, 41. Fuel is supplied from the pump 23 through the pipe 25 into the pipe 33 and thence into the cavity 39 within the core 38. The fuel then issues through pipes 46 to injectors 45 within the flame tubes 43. Air enters the flame tubes through the apertures 431. The fuel and air mixture is ignited by the spark plug 21 and the rotor system is caused to rotate by reason of the inclination of the flame tubes. The exhaust gases pass through the outlet 4, the outlet being controlled by vanes 53 which are pivotally mounted so that when lying transverse to the axis of the engine, the exhaust duct is almost closed. The stationary core portion 40 is supported within the duct 4 by vanes 42 and carries the bearing 41 for the rotary core 38. The core 40 is formed with a cavity in which the operating bevel pinions 52 of the vanes 53 are disposed. A pinion 14 is mounted on the shaft 11 and engages a gear-wheel 15, the external teeth 15<SP>1</SP> of which may drive the road wheels of a vehicle through a gear-box, while the internal teeth 15<SP>11</SP> on the wheel 15 engage a pinion 17 on a shaft 18 which drives the fuel pump 23. A bevelwheel 19 on the shaft 18 engages bevel-wheels 20 which are connected to a starter motor and to a dynamo. The vanes 53 are operated by a shaft 55<SP>1</SP> driven by an hydraulic servomotor 57 connected to the fuel pump 23. Cooling air flows through the ducts 48 to the cavity 49 within the core 38 and through the ducts 51, 63 within the stationary core 40. The engine may be used for jet propulsion as well as for developing shaft power.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric motor control systems
IPC: B60L7/04
Filed: 1946-04-16
Abstract: 610,765. Control of motors. WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL CO. April 16, 1946, No. 11643. Convention date, April 3, 1945. [Class 38 (iii)] Non-regenerative braking.-In a control system in which a dynamic braking circuit is established where power is cut-off from the motor and including resistance controlling the motor contact which is shunted in steps during acceleration, the shunting means is only effective to shunt a portion of the resistance during dynamic braking. In the Figure, the series motors 10 and 11 driving a vehicle such as a mining locomotive can be reversed by contacts 19 and 20 on the manual controller MC. Closure of the line switch L1, which is energized on the first step of the controller, connects the motors and their starting resistances R1 and R2, in parallel, to the supply, Further movement of the controller reduces and finally short-circuits resistances R1 and R2, but the reduction of R2 is done in part by one or more electric or electro-pneumatic contactors such as 24, the operating coils of these contactors or of their operating valves being,controlled by the controller MC and the contacts 25 of switch L1. On failure of the supply the motors can be electrically braked by reversing the controller, but not all of resistance R2 can be cutout of the braking circuit, because contacts 25 will be open and the contactor or contactors 24 will not be operated. Switch L1 cannot be reclosed, on restoration of the supply, until the controller is brought to the " off " position to close contacts 22 and energize the no-volt relay 21, which maintains itself by its contacts 23.

Title: Improvements in production of unsaturated hydrocarbons from liquid hydrocarbons
Inventor: STEINHOFER ADOLF
IPC: C01B3/36
Filed: 1959-04-09
Abstract: <PICT:0878080/IV (b)/1> Unsaturated hydrocarbons, particularly ethylene, are produced by cracking liquid hydrocarbons by introducing the liquid hydrocarbon into a cylindrical reaction vessel close to the wall, introducing oxygen or an oxygencontaining gas tangentially close to the point of introduction of the hydrocarbon at a high speed sufficient to prevent a detachment from the inner wall of the vortex produced which is aided by passing the reaction gases through a conically-formed constriction and thence through either a cylindrical vessel or a vessel which first widens conically and is then preferably cylindrical.  A mixture of oxygen and steam, combustion gas and/or recycle gas from tubes 4 and 5 is introduced through channel 6 and slot 3 at 80-200 metres per second faster than a petroleum fraction which is introduced through tube 7 under a slight excess pressure of 500-1000 mm. water.  The gases pass from vessel 1 into vessel 2 through a conical constriction and the conical vessel 10 which preferably has a cone angle below 10 degrees.  The products are quenched at 11.  The reactor may be preheated by a combustion gas introduced at 9.
