Title: A method of testing hollow cylindrical bodies such as shells, pipes, cylinders, barrels and the like for the presence of inhomogeneities by means of ultrasonic waves
IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 1955-03-02
Abstract: 765,906. Testing materials by ultrasonic vibrations. SCHMETZ, B. March 2, 1955, No. 6139/55. Class 118 (2). A method of testing hollow cylindrical bodies such as shells, pipes, barrels and the like for the presence of inhomogeneities comprises transmitting transverse ultrasonic waves into the body at an angle of inclination # to cause internal reflections, as shown in Fig. 1A, and also at an oblique angle α to the longitudinal axis of the body tested, as shown in Fig. 1B. This results in a spiral path of the waves as indicated at Sh in Fig. 2 for through-transmission testing. By adjustment of the angle α or by moving the transducer a short distance from the end surface the waves may be reflected at the far end to travel back to their starting place along a spiral path Sr for pulse-reflection testing. In either case the quartz crystal transducer is moved around the end surface, or the workpiece is rotated, to carry out the test. By turning the transducer (or a coupling wedge) through 180 degrees the spiral path is given an opposite rotation and this enables location of flaws extending purely in the direction of one of the spiral paths.

Title: Improvements in or relating to gas-filled thermionic valves
IPC: H01J17/26
Filed: 1949-03-10
Abstract: 663,290. Thermionic valves. M-O VALVE CO., Ltd., BELL, J., and WRIGHT, D. A. March 8, 1950 [March 10, 1949; April 20, 1949], Nos. 6641/49 and 10534/49. Class 39 (i). A thermionic valve provided with a gaseous filling at least partly of hydrogen comprises at least a cathode 8 and anode 2 and includes a sealed container which is permeable to hydrogen only over a predetermined range of temperatures, the container being mounted within the envelope so that its temperature varies in accordance with that of the anode and is normally below said range of temperatures; the container is preferably evacuated and includes a hydrogen compound which is decomposable on heating with consequent evolution of hydrogen over at least the lower part of said range of temperatures. The container may be at least partly of nickel, copper, iron, or palladium, and the compound may be the hydride of zirconium, titanium, tantalum, vanadium or thorium. In Fig. 1 the anode is attached to a nickel cup 3, and the grid comprises two staggered perforated metal plates 5, 6 supported by a second cup 7. The cathode is surrounded by a heat shield 11. The container is a nickel tube 16 supported in good thermal contact with the anode by a member 15 attached to the nickel cup 3. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 2 (not shown), the nickel cup 3 forms one wall of the container, and in a further alternative, Fig. 4 (not shown), the container is attached to the heat shield 11. The anode of the valve may form part of the container. The container need not be connected to any part of the electrode structure but may be so disposed as to be heated by radiation. With these arrangements, if the pressure of the filling falls owing to " clean-up," the temperature of the valve rises from its normal operating temperature of, say, 250‹ C. to, say, 350‹ C., thus heating the container; the heat renders the container permeable to hydrogen and releases hydrogen from the hydride which restores the pressure of the fitting. The invention is applicable to diodes as well as triodes. According to the first Provisional Specification if the anode is in the form of a disc another disc may be secured to the periphery of the anode with a metallic hydride contained in the space between the two discs, provision being made for a small pumping tube at one part of the periphery.

Title: Improvements in or relating to radio altimeters, and other radio distance measuring systems
IPC: G01S13/34
Filed: 1947-03-10
Abstract: 649,025. Radiolocation. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. March 10, 1947, No. 6695. Convention date, March 9, 1946. [Class 40 (vii)] A radio altimeter or other radio distance measuring system radiates from an antenna 11 a frequency-modulated wave generated by a 1650 Mc. oscillator 10 whose frequency is subjected to a cyclic deviation of 25 Mc. under the control of a modulator 12 driven by 120 cycles per second source 13. The reflected signal is picked up by antenna 18 and passes through a filter 17 to a first detector 16 where it is mixed with a locally-generated signal of 1410 Mc. to produce a first intermediate frequency signal of 240 Mc/s. The 1410 Mc. signal is obtained by combining a portion of the transmitter oscillator output with a 240 Mc. signal from an oscillator 20 in a mixer 19 and then selecting with a filter 21 the lower sideband of 1410 Me. This 1410 Mc. signal will carry the 25 Me. deviation, thus the deviation will not be present in the 240 Mc. first intermediate frequency signal which carries only the frequency deviation corresponding to the time required for the transmitted signal to travel to the reflecting object and return. The 240 Mc. signal is amplified in amplifier 24 and is further reduced in frequency to a second intermediate frequency of 5 Mc. by combination with 235 Me. in a second detector 26. The 235 Mc. signal is derived 'by combining the 240 Mc. signal from oscillator 20 with a 5 Mc. signal from a further oscillator 29 in a mixer 28 from which the lower side-band of 235 Mc. is extracted by filter 31. The second intermediate frequency is supplied through an amplifier 27 to an amplitude limiter 32 and thereon to a demodulator 33 where it is demodulated with 5 Mc. oscillations to produce an audio signal whose frequency is a measure of the distance of the reflecting object. The audio signal is amplified in amplifier 34 and applied to frequency counter 35 or other frequency indicator.

IPC: H01H77/04
Filed: 1959-02-26
Abstract: 870,768. Two-part couplings combined with switches. SOC. ETABLISSEMENTS GERARD MANG. Feb. 26, 1959, No. 6754/59. Class 38 (1). The case of a wiring outlet comprises a base 1 with a cover 2 and contains a disc-shaped bimetallic cut-out element 10 through which the current is caused to flow. The element carries a movable contact 8 coacting with a fixed contact 9 connected to a socket contact 5b by a metal strip 4b. The centre portion of the element 10 is connected to a terminal 3b, and a second terminal 3a is connected to a socket contact 5a. When an overload current flows through the element 10, the contact 8 is moved clear of the fixed contact 9. As the element is of the non-thermostatic type it does not resume its initial position on cooling. To reset the element, a forked plate 12 pivoted at 13 is pressed against it by means of a slide 15, and the curvature of the disc reversed; it is necessary to remove the plug from the outlet to enable the slide to be moved to its "reset" position. A screw 22 permits adjustment of the position of the contact 9.
