Title: Method for continuous casting of metal
IPC: B22D23/00
Filed: 1965-08-23
Abstract: 1,074,648. Continuous-casting processes. DORTMUND - HORDER HUTTENUNION A.G. Aug. 23, 1965 [Sept. 22, 1964], No. 36062/65. Heading B3F. To obviate billet re-heating for rolling, molten metal such as steel is dispersed in a tower to fall as droplets for cooling by counterflowing gas before re-uniting to form a coherent mass (26) for compression by rolls (15, 16). The droplets may be formed by a sieve, a refractory spray, an annular nozzle in which the steel is divided up by gas, or a distribution plate, Figs. 2, 3 (not shown), of general conical shape and with sectors of different radial length, on to the apex of which a jet of metal drops to flow over the plate, as a film, to its irregular perimeter. The coolant gas maybe blast furnace gas, water gas, or partly oxidized natural gas, mixtures of these with each other or mixtures of them with hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide. The metal is fed to the tower from a ladle (12), Fig. 1 (not shown), which traverses a platform (2). An annular seal (13) may be provided between the latter and the ladle.

Title: Improvements in and relating to dynamo-electric machines
IPC: H02K23/00
Filed: 1933-12-22
Abstract: 430,910. Cores for dynamo-electric machines. ZETSCHE, J., 28, Carlton Road, Romford, Essex, and SUPRA ELECTRA MOTORS, Ltd., 48, Southwark Bridge Road, London. Dec. 22, 1933, No. 36098. [Class 35] In a drum-wound commutator machine in which either the armature or the armature and the field magnet is or are provided with a continuous closed iron ring facing the air gap, the number of armature slots between adjacent tips of adjacent poles does not exceed two point three, the tips in the case of bridged pole machines being regarded as the limits of the unsaturated part of the pole arc, this unsaturated portion being within the limits 0À8 to 0À9 of the pole pitch. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a large pole arc is used (pole arc alpha=À8) the number of slots is reduced so that there is approximately one slot only between adjacent tips. If the poles are bridged, the bridged portion is saturated and for purposes of determining the slot number, the tips of a pole are then regarded as being separated by À8 to À9 of the pole pitch. The poles and bridges may be in the form of stamping about which a separate ring is arranged to form the yoke, or if the yoke is integral with the poles, separate bridging members are used when it is required that the poles shall be bridged at the airgap. The armature may be formed of stampings with closed slots or by a ring k with inwardly opening slots l which is forced over an inner member m after the slots have been wound. The axial length of the armature preferably exceeds one and a half times the pole arc. The construction is applicable to alternating as well as continuous-current machines and the machine need not be provided with interpoles. Specifications 327,249 and 328,722, [both in Class 35], are referred to.

Abstract: 1,165,810. Radar. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. 7 April, 1967 [10 Aug., 1966], No. 36230/67. Heading H4D. A position sensor comprises a section of a coaxial line fed with high-frequency (H.F.) energy, the inner conductor of the line widening into a flat circular tablet whose outer surface is disposed in the output cross-sectional plane of the coaxial line, and a detector associated with the line to measure the standing-wave level at a given point in the coaxial line. Variable capacitors may be added to afford linear detector output with movement of position being sensed. In order to render the H.F. source relatively insensitive to impedance variations an adjustable attenuator is added. The invention is applied to measuring the position of a blade mechanically connected to a balance beam, a sensing arrangement being utilized on either side of the blade and a differential D.C. electric output obtained. Vibration of an object, and the internal friction of a vibrating blade, may also be measured.

Rain from a rain gauge 4, Fig. 1 (not shown) collected in a reservoir 8 is controlled in its flow through a # radiation gauge 12 by an electromagnetically driven pump 20 the operation of which is controlled in direct proportion to the level of water in the reservoir or to the maximum level achieved at any time since the reservoir was last emptied. The electromagnetic driving mechanism 22 is energized through a thyratron 46 in response to the actuation of a monostable multi-vibrator 44 by pulses from a voltage to frequency converter 42, the voltage being obtained from a store 40 the input of which is derived from a reservoir pressure transducer 26. The maximum pulse rate from converter 42 is such that the period between pulses exceeds the multi-vibrator operating time. The operation is initiated and terminated by a water presence detector in the reservoir, the terminating pulse resetting the store. A y radiation detector is included in a second reservoir through which the water is pumped and the detector outputs are taken to respective counters. The volume of water evacuated is measured to enable the specific total radioactivity to be determined. The level signal storage circuit may be omitted. A lead shield is provided around the # detector.

Abstract: 1,269,058. Drying yarn. COURTAULDS Ltd. 5 Aug., 1969 [6 Aug., 1968], No. 37382/68. Heading F4G. The residual solvent content of freshly dryspun cellulose acetate yarn is reduced by sidewinding the yarn to form a package and directing a stream of drying gas on to the circumferential surface of the package during winding. Preferably the gas comprises heated air tapped off from the supply to a cell in which the yarn was spun. The gas may be directed through a slot orifice towards the winding spindle over its axial length. The slot width may be reduced from both ends by sliding panels as winding proceeds, and the gas volume reduced as well, preferably automatically in response to increased package diameter. This takes into account uneven evaporation of solvent from the package surface.
