Abstract: 419,779. Ribbon or tape. COHN, A. H., 138, West 27th Street, New York, U.S.A. Jan. 3, 1934, No. 227. Convention date, Jan. 19, 1933. [Class 141.] The invention is concerned with the production of ribbon or tape, the nature of which is such that it can be tied into a knot and can conventently be used for binding or tying up packages. The invention consists in a substantially imperforate ribbon or tape 10 of non-fibrous, flexible, and preferably transparent material, e.g. cellulosic or albuminoid material, the marginal portions of which are reinforced by flexible material 11, 12 folded round the edges thereof and secured adhesively. The material forming the ribbon may be regenerated cellulose, such as that known under the Registered Trade Mark " Cellophane." The edge binding strips may be of a different colour to the body of the ribbon. The tape may comprise a pair of strips similarly bound at the edges, and metal dust or similar light reflecting or refracting material may be placed between the layers.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of carbon material
IPC: C04B35/532
Filed: 1954-01-05
Abstract: A composition for the production of carbon electrodes (including prebake and Soderberg electrodes) and carbon brushes is produced by coking a bituminous coking coal having an ash content of not more than 2.5 per cent at a temperature in excess of 700 DEG C. and at a rate of temperature rise through the plastic range of at least 100 DEG C. per hour, calcining the resulting coke at 1200 DEG -1500 DEG C., e.g. 1400 DEG C., crushing and milling the coke before or after calcining to decrease particle size and increase bulk density, preparing an aggregate of the coke of suitable size distribution and forming a uniform composition of the aggregate and a carbonaceous binder in an amount sufficient to secure the particles together on carbonization.  An electrode having a specific resisitivity not greater than 0.0030 ohms/in/ins and an apparent density of at least 1.39 gm./c.c. may be produced by moulding the composition and heating to a temperature of at least 900 DEG C., optionally to graphitizing temperature.  Crushed calcined petroleum coke may be substituted for a portion of the calcined coke in the large particle size range of the aggregate. Aggregates of various size distributions are specified.  Suitable binders are bitumen, asphalt, coal tar pitch, oil tar pitch, tar, resin and gilsonite, and preferably have a m.p. of 40 DEG -175 DEG C.  A Soderberg mix may contain 20-35 per cent binder, and a prebake mix 15-25 per cent.  0.1-5 per cent of a lubricant, e.g. heavy lubricating oils and black oils, may be added to compositions to be extruded.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electronic adders
IPC: G06F7/38
Filed: 1961-01-06
Abstract: 964,976. Full adders employing cryotrons. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Jan. 6, 1961 [Jan. 19, 1960], No. 695/61. Heading G4A. A full binary adder employs cryotron gates to control currents through an array of conductors and thus to mark output lines representing sum and carry digits. Cryotron flip-flops of a conventional kind (Fig. 4, not shown) cause currents to flow in one out of each pair of lines 100a, 100b, 102a, 102b ... 111a, 110b, the left-hand line of each pair if marked representing a binary one. The left-hand pairs of lines represent a three order binary number X and the remainder a three order number Y. A commutator 130 operates by opening momentarily and successively the switches R 1  to R 4 . With R 1 , for example, closed, current is flowing between terminals 132 and 142 through the coils of cryotron gates 154,156 and 360 sending them resistive and preventing current flow in lines 112,118 and 300. When R 1  is opened current flows in lines 112,118 and the values of the first orders of X and Y are entered in an adder array 18 (Fig. 6). Depending on whether current flows in line 100a or 100b, line 106a or 106b, gates 150 or 162,or 152 or 164 are sent resistive and the appropriate X and Y digit lines 166 or 158, 168 or 160 receive the current in lines 112,118 respectively. This causes inhibition of certain gates in groups of conductors 204a to d 206a to d, 208a to c and 210a to c,and together with the state of input lines 200, 202 representing the in-carry, marks one of a pair of sum lines 204 and 206, and one of the carry lines 208 and 210 with current from terminal 218. For example if all the input digits are one,gates prevent current flow in lines 204b to 204a, all the lines 206 and 210, and lines 208b, 208c,with the result that sum line 204 and carry line 208 is marked. The sum digit is entered in a register 22 under the control of the commutator 132 which has opened the gates on line 134 (Fig. 7,) and thus made it possible for the sum lines to steer current into either line 330a or 330b to set the lowest order flip-flop 340. Carry storage is effected by means of successive P and Q pulses, the first of which sets flip-flop B according to the marking of lines 208,210. With no P pulse present current flows in line 304. A P pulse enables current to be steered to either of lines 306, 308 depending on the state of line 208, 210. A later Q pulse transfers the setting of flip-flop B to flip-flop A and makes available an in-carry digit. The fourth line of commutator 130 causes zeros to be entered into the adder array as X and Y digits to allow for carry from highest order.

Apparatus for filling boxes, or trays with a predetermined number of articles, e.g. filter plugs for cigarettes, comprises a fluted drum 3 which receives articles from a conveyer 1 and carries them past a photo-electric device 17, in circuit with an electronic counter, to a delivery opening 9 bounled on the right by flange 10 of a closure plate 11. The drum 3 is provided with suction means 5, 6, 7 to hold the articles on the flutes over an arc between the conveyer 1 and an article-retaining plate 8. When a predetermined number of articles has been counted, a signal from the counter causes a temporary stoppage in the rotation of drum 3, movement of plate 11 to the left to close opening 9 and retraction of a guide member 16, described in Specification 1,071,741, to above the level of the boxes. The rotation of drum 3 may be restarted as soon as plate 11 has moved sufficiently to the left to prevent articles passing below it. Boxes 13, 14 are moved continuously from left to right and plate 11 is moved to the right at the speed of the boxes when the leading edge of a subsequent box arrives beneath flange 10. A bar 19 carrying rods 18 is horizontally reciprocable to assist the distribution of articles and to break up localized piles thereof. Various drive means for the plate 11 and types of counter are described.'

Title: A system of electrical remote control and supervision
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1940-01-16
Abstract: 536,075. Remote control and supervision. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and SMART N. C. Jan. 16, 1940, No. 929. [Class 40 (i)] In a system for controlling and supervising a circuit breaker CB, uni-directional currents of different values flow in both directions over the control circuit from centre-tapped sources 'at both stations. With the control switch 8 in its mid position a weak current flows in the control wire 7 via resistance R from rectifier system MRA, MRB according to the condition of the circuit-breaker and energizes one of two polarized relays CI, OI, to light the corresponding lamp CL, OL, but not the correspondingly polarized relay OR, CR at the other end. When the contactor changes over, the momentary break in the control wire releases a relay which shunts itself and sounds an alarm. To change the condition of the contactor, the switch 8 is operated to replace resistance R by one of the rectifier systems MRF, MRE whereupon CR or OR pulls up energizing contactor CTA or CTB which operates the appropriate coil of the circuit breaker. Both ends of the control wire are thus brought to the same potential, AL falls giving an alarm, and OI or CI falls and makes a new circuit via resistance R for operating CI or OI to light the other lamps, this circuit being maintained when the operator restores the control switch to normal. The alarm relay is re-operated by means of key RK.
