Title: Improvements in and relating to therapeutic compositions containing animal cells
IPC: A61K35/48
Filed: 1958-04-25
Abstract: Therapeutic preparations of living animal cells are prepared from the organs of foctal or sexually immature mammals by subjecting them to mechanical disintegration followed by digestion with ferments such as trypsin which removes connective tissue from the cells which remain living and unaltered.  The organ is disintegrated in contact with a liquid medium, for example, Hanks solution, trypsin (about 0.25%) is added and digestion allowed to continue at 37 DEG  C. until as much connective tissue as possible is digested whilst the cells remain living (about 5 to 10 minutes). Filtration gives a filtrate which is a suspension of cells in digestive fluid and a non-filterable portion which can be re-treated.  Further digestion in the filtrate is prevented by cooling in ice water and the filtrate is then centrifuged to give a deposit of cells which is washed free from digestive fluid and preferably also from necrotoxins.  The cells may then be introduced into ampoules, freeze dried until the moisture content is about 1 to 3% and stored or alternatively the cells may be suspended in physiological salt or Ringer's solution for injection. Differing species of cells from the same organ, having been freed from connective tissue may be separated for example by filtration or centrifugation.  Examples of organs from which preparations may be made according to the process include thyroid, pancreas, liver, spleen, hypophysis, ovary, the bulls' testicles. Specification 716,161 is referred to.

Title: Radar system
IPC: G01S13/58
Filed: 1963-04-05
Abstract: 1,042,829. Pulse radar. CANADIAN PATENTS & DEVELOPMENT Ltd. April 5, 1963 [Nov. 20, 1962], No. 13568/63. Heading H4D. [Also in Division G4] The radar system described in Specification 1,042,822 is modified to compute the muzzle velocity V and/or time-of-flight t F  of an "enemy" mortar shell. It is demonstrated that, for high - angle trajectories, V#C 3 t F #C 2 R 1 /#T where C 2 , C 3  are constants, R 1  (Fig. 13) is the range from the radar system of the point at which the shell crosses lower beam P2 and #T is the time the shell takes to pass from the lower beam to upper beam P1. A mechanism (Fig. 14) solves the above in the form log V = log C 3  + log t F  = log C 2  + log R 1  - log #T. A shaft H15 (see also Fig. 10) angularly, represents #T, and the radar operator sets measured range R 1 , on a logarithmic range scale RAS so that the shaft H40 rotation is a logarithmic function of range. A muzzle velocity scale MVS and a time-of-flight scale TFS are both mounted on a shaft H41; both scales are logarithmic and are read against fixed marks PM2, PM3 respectively. Output shaft H42 of a differential gear-box D14 drives a gear G1 meshing with a segment S1 and joined by a link L to a segment S2 meshing with a gear G2 turning coaxially with dial #TD but independently thereof; logarithmic motion at gear G1 is thereby transposed to linear motion as gear G2. The relative angular positions of scales MVS and TFS are set by calibration scale CS2 against mark PM6 in accordance with constant C 3 , and the angular position of calibration scale CS1 relative to range scale RAS is set against fixed mark PM7 in accordance with constant C 2 . To obtain the values of V and t F , after initial setting of range scale RAS to range R 1 , the operator turns the scales MVS, TFS to bring a mark PM4 into register with mark PM5.

Title: Improvements relating to gyroscopic compasses
IPC: G01C19/38
Filed: 1923-05-29
Abstract: 215,594. Sperry, E. A., and Thompson, H. H. May 29, 1923. Gyroscopic compasses. - In compasses of the kind described in Specification 15669/11 or 131,987, in which the rotor casing is substantially balanced gravitationally and is controlled by a pendulous element or its equivalent eccentrically connected to the casing, means are provided for changing or eliminating the eccentricity of the connections during changes in speed or course of the mounting, in order to avoid deviations due to such accelerations. Fig. 1 shows the application of the invention to a compass of the kind described in Specification 131,987, in which gravitational control is provided by two liquid-containing vessels 17 disposed one on each side of the casing 1 and connected by a tube 19, the vessels being carried by a frame 14 which is mounted on pivots 15, 16 on the follow-up element 5. The frame 14 is connected to the casing 1 by an arm 20 having at its lower end a pin engaging in a slot in the casing, the point of connection being normally displaced from the vertical axis of the casing in order to produce a damping effect on the oscillations of the compass. According to the, invention the arm 20 is mounted on a pivot 25 on the frame 14 and has an extension 29 carrying the armature 28 of an electromagnet 26 carried by the frame 14. The magnet is automatically energized when acceleration of the mounting occurs and the arm 20 is thereby displaced to eliminate the eccentricitv of the connection. In some cases the displacement may be such as to produce slight eccentricity on the opposite side of the vertical. In a modification the frame 14 is pivoted in a ring which is pivoted to the follow-up element, the electromagnet being arranged to tilt the ring when energized. In this form the arm 20 is fixed to the frame 14. Fig. 4 shows the application of the invention to a compass of the kind described in Specification 15669/11, having a pivoted bail 31 eccentrically connected to the casing. According to the invention the bail is slidably mounted on its pivots 15<1>, 16<1>, and is adapted to be moved thereon by an arm 33 operated by the electromagnet 26'. The circuit of the electromagnet is arranged to be completed by a switch having a pendulum member which is displaced when acceleration occurs. The circuit may include a delayed action device so that the acceleration may exist for a predetermined time before the magnet is energized. In order to render the compass substantially dead-beat the normal degree of eccentricity of the connection of the arm 20 may be considerably greater than heretofore.

Abstract: 109,510. Stirk, G., Stirk, E., Stirk, R., and Stirk, J. G. Oct. 9. 1916. Planing; slotting; lathes.-An intermittent feed motion for planing and slotting machines and lathes comprises a shaft C driven through a friction clutch from an electro motor and connected or geared to a sleeve H carrying a series of disks J having varying numbers of teeth K co-operating with a pawl L adjustable along a square bar M according to the amount of feed required. The bar is carried by a frame N rocked about an axis P to bring the pawl into and out of operation as controlled by a solenoid T in series with the electro motor. On reversal of the machine, an arm W frictionally mounted on the shaft carrying the reduced velocity reversing-dog disk Y closes the motor and solenoid circuit at 3, thus imparting the feed. On reversal at the other end of the stroke, the arm, whose movement is limited by opposed stops 7, breaks the circuit, thus resetting the parts ready for a further feed at the next reversal. According to the Provisional Specification, the invention is applicable for the spacing mechanism of gear-cutting machines. The apparatus may be applied to a largo face-plate lathe where a kicking feed is used actuated by a lever making a number of picks per revolution to operate pawl and ratchet mechanism.
