Title: Process and apparatus for preparing oxide gel microspheres from sols
IPC: C01G56/00
Filed: 1965-05-31
Abstract: Thorium oxide, uranium oxide and plutonium oxide are formed into gel microspheres from a sol containing at least one of these oxides which has a pH of 2.0 to 4.5 and contains nitrate ions in a nitrate to actinide metal oxide ratio of 0.05 to 0.15 by concurrently introducing a stream of the sol and a surrounding stream of organic liquid containing a surface active agent into a mass of the organic liquid whereby gel droplets are formed and allowed to congeal, they are then recovered.  The organic liquid has an interfacial tension with water of >2 dynes/cm., a solubility of water therein of 0.3 to 10 vol. per cent and a solubility in water of less than 1 vol. per cent.  The gel microspheres may have a diameter of 50-1000 m , a density of 1.5 to above 4 g./c.c. and may be made by drying the recovered congealed droplets, e.g. at \sO 140 DEG  C., and firing, e.g. 1150 DEG  C. If thorium oxide is used its concentration in the sol may be 2-5 molar.  The thorium oxide sol may contain up to 10 mol per cent uranium oxide or 5 mol per cent plutonium oxide, these materials being added as uranyl or plutonyl nitrate.  The hydrous sol may contain carbon of a mean particle size <400 <\>rA in which case the actinide metal oxide concentration is preferably 2 molar, and the microspheres thus produced may be heated, e.g. to 1450-1750 DEG  C. to form actinide metal carbide or dicarbide microspheres.  In carbon - containing sols uranium may comprise 20 mol per cent of total metal content.  The surface active agent may be used in the amount 0.1-10 vol. per cent.  The organic liquid may be a primary alcohol having 6-8 carbon atoms or an ester. The droplet size, e.g. 50-1000 m , is controlled by the sol jet orifice diameter and organic liquid agitation rate.  The sol/organic liquid stream is introduced into a congealing zone through which organic liquid flows countercurrently. A side stream of this liquid, e.g. 5 vol. per cent, is regenerated by extracting the water.  The thorium oxide may be prepared from the nitrate by contact with steam at 475 DEG  C.

Abstract: 1488079 Weighing H PITTET 27 May 1975 [25 May 1974] 23133/75 Heading G1W A recording scale for waste paper comprises a closed casing containing a weighing means and an associated weight recording means, and means operable from the outside for transferring material from the weighing means to a storage container, the recording means being operable only when the means for transferring is operated. The weighing means 2 comprises a basket 18 mounted on a platform 1 and a pointer 4 moving over a dial 3. The basket is pivoted to the platform at 15 and rests on the platform via springs 19. The means for transferring the waste paper from the basket 18 to the storage chamber 14 comprises a rack 23, a cable 31 connected to the basket at 29 and wound onto a drum 32, and gears 34 driving the drum 32 from the rack via an elastic coupling 33, whereby downward movement of the rack winds the cable on to the drum and tilts the basket 18 into discharge position 18b. A latch 26 engages the rack and prevents movement thereof until a minimum weight has been added to the basket 18, when the basket deforms springs 19 sufficiently for the cable 31 to withdraw the latch. The weight recording characters are carried by a drum 5 rotating with the pointer 4. Recording is carried out on a ticket strip 7 which issues through the front of the casing and on a check strip 16 which is wound on to a bobbin 35, strips 7 and 16 being stored on a bobbin 8. Bobbins 8, 35 are coupled to the rack 23 via suitable drive mechanisms to maintain tension in the strips. The strips are also driven by rollers 48 which have a spring drive mechanism which is arranged to be wound up by operation of rack 23 and which is actuated to drive the rollers 48 when a control 49 is actuated. A cutter 47 is arranged to cut the ticket strip 7 and the central portion only of check strip 16, strip 16 being wider than strip 7. In one, movement of rack 23 raises a hammer 44 and allows it to fall under the action of a spring 45 and coupling rod 46 to print the strips and to cut off a ticket 7. Downward movement of rod 46 also actuates control 49 to cause operation of the drive rollers 48. The waste paper is contained in a container Fig. 4 introduced into the casing via aperture 17 normally closed by a locked panel 61. The container has three side bars 72 which engage detectors 73 in corresponding slots in the mouth of the aperture to cause the panel 61 to be unlocked. The bars 72 contain recesses 82 which are detected by spring fingers of pickups (83), and a container identification number is printed on the strips 7, 16. When the container is fully inserted, an abutment member 76 of the casing, operates a latch 71 of the container to allow the pivoted container bottom to open.

Abstract: 1,033,227. Automatic control of tension. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. June 5, 1964 [June 28, 1963], No. 23399/64. Heading G3R. In a control system for a reversible rolling mill, wherein a strip 16 is passed between reels 22R, 22L, through rolls 12, 14, the tension in the strip is controlled in dependence on tension error, the integral of tension error, the acceleration and rate of change of acceleration of the strip. The rolls are driven by a motor 18 and the reels are driven or braked by motors 24L, 24R having their armatures supplied from Ward-Leonard generators 38L, 38R. The reel drives have similar control arrangement and for the left hand generator 38L a field winding 50L is energized from a bi-directional magnetic amplifier 54L having main control windings 66L, 70L and rate feedback windings 64L, 68L energized through a differentiating circuit 26L from the generator output. The main control windings are energized from a proportional integrator 80L, comprising a summing circuit 86L at the input to a high-gain D.C. amplifier 84L, having a rate negative feedback circuit 87L, the output of which is proportional to the input plus the time integral of the input. The summing circuit 86L is differentially responsive to a D.C. signal from a tensiometer 94L coupled to a deflector roll 98L and a reference signal from a source 90L to derive a signal proportional to the tension error, and to a D.C. signal representative of the rate of change of acceleration of the strip derived through cascaded differentiating circuits 102, 100L from the output of a tachogene rator 104 driven by the roll 14. The output of the tachogenerator is applied through series resistors 110, 112 to similar circuits 100L, 100R in order to derive opposite sign rate signals for application to the separate reel drive motors one of which acts as a brake on a feeder reel while the other drives the take-up reel. The tension error and acceleration rate input signals produce at the output of the amplifier 84L a signal representative of the tension error, the integrated tension error, acceleration of the strip and the acceleration rate of the strip which is applied to the control windings 56L, 70L.

Title: Electronic device for monitoring excess flowing medium demand or consumption
IPC: G01R21/133
Filed: 1977-06-02
Abstract: The device exhibits an electronic up/down counter (1). This is supplied with the pulse repetition rate (I1) corresponding to the consumption and output by the electricity meter (2), on the one hand, and with a reference pulse repetition rate (I2) output by a reference pulse frequency source (4), on the other hand. The up/down counter (1) is incremented by the pulses (I1) coming from the electricity meter (2) and decremented by the pulses (I2) coming from the reference pulse frequency source (4). As soon as one counting capacity is filled up, it is reset to the count zero; at the same time, a following overconsumption counting mechanism (7, 8) is incremented by one step. Exceeding of the overconsumption threshold for a short time does not necessarily lead to a recording process. As a result, an electromechanical overconsumption counting mechanism can be used, the count of which does not get lost even when its supply voltage is lost. <IMAGE>
