Abstract: 30,152. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. Dec. 24. Range-finders. - Comprises improvements in range-finders of the coincidence type whereby two lines of separation so adjacent to one another that both lines fall within the angle of distinct simultaneous vision are produced in the field of view. Two arrangements are described, being examples of reflective and refractive methods. A reflective method is shown in Fig. 3, in which a separating-prism is used, reflection taking place from the silvered surface M N. A narrow strip Q is cut in the silvered surface M N, permitting a ray G<6> from one object to pass through after reflection at the surface P<2>. The rays C<5>, C<6> from the other objective are reflected from the surface M N into the eyepiece, giving an appearance to the image as shown in Fig. 3<A>, in which A<1>, A<2> show the field formed by the beams through one objective and B', B<2> the field formed by the beams through the other objective. The modification in which the refractive method is employed comprises a refracting-prism formed by the edge of a very thin plate of glass having a refractive index different from that of the adjacent parts of the prism. Specifications 3172/01 and 9906/08 are referred to.

Abstract: 30,374. Jones, A. O. Dec. 31. [Cognate Application, 948/11.] Discharging.-Relates to apparatus of the kind described in Specification 19,812/09 for discharging vertical coke ovens. The weight of the descending charge is utilized by forcing the water from beneath the sole-plate carrying plunger 5 into an accumulator 15, the water so stored being used to lift the plunger and soleplate for the next charge and for other purposes if desired. The sole-plate 7 is received on a truck 10, running on the truck 3 which carries the plunger 5, and the truck 10 can be traversed on the truck 3 by means of an hydraulic ram 12 mounted thereon and preferably supplied by the accumulator 15. After the charge has been lowered, the coke-truck 8 is brought up to the sole-plate 7 and thus becomes automatically engaged by means of a catch, with the truck 10, so that on the ram 12 being operated the trucks 8, 10 move together, and the charge, being brought up against the abutment 13, secured to the truck 3, is pushed on to the truck 8; at the same time the coupling between the trucks 8, 10 is automatically released. In order to store enough water to operate the ram 12, two additional plungers are coupled to the plunger 5, to displace water for the inward and outward strokes respectively of the ram 12.

Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 15,875. Peacock, E. L. July 8. Submarine vessels are provided with one or more adjustable sections capable of being adjusted vertically, so that they set at an angle to the deck and present inclined surfaces to the water, to cause the boat to rise or sink, thus dispensing with horizontal rudders &c. At the stern of the vessel a section 9 is fitted, pivoted to the deck 4 of the hinge 4<1> Side and end portions 10, 12 are formed on the section 9 to preserve continuity of contour. Adjustment is effected by the hand-wheel 16 and screw 15 operating the rod 14. A similar section is fitted at the bow. A section 19 encircles the conning - tower 6, being pivoted to the deck and of triangular shape in plan. The hand-wheel 29 effects adjustment in a similar manner to the wheel 16. In a modified form of the sections, they are pivoted near their centres instead of at one end. Independent variation of the inclination of the various sections enables the vessel to rise, to sink, or to remain at a constant depth as desired.

Title: Improvements in Voltage Regulators for Electric Generators.
Inventor: OLMSTED ALEXANDER HOLLY
IPC: H02P9/24
Filed: 1910-12-23
Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 28,747. Olmsted, A. H. Dec. 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for. - In a voltage-regulator of the vibrating type, the rate of oscillation of the vibrating arm varies automatically in accordance with variations in the voltage to be regulated, the vibrating arm controlling a relay governing the regulating - resistance. In the arrangement shown, the field winding of an alternator 1 is connected to an exciter 5 having a resistance 7 in series with its shunt field winding 6. One terminal of the resistance 7 is connected to a resiliently-mounted contact 16 by a lead 32, while its other terminal is connected to a contact 15 mounted on the armature 13 of an electro-magnetic relay by a lead 31. The armature 13 also carries a contact 40 adapted to engage a resiliently-mounted contact 41. One terminal of the winding 11 of the relay 8 is connected to a contact 29 on a vibrating arm 20 by leads 33, 34, while its other terminal is connected to a resiliently-mounted contact 30 by a lead 35. The arm 20 is resiliently attached at one end to a pivoted arm 23 by a spring 25, while its other end carries the armature 21 of an electro-magnet 18. The position of the arm 23 is controlled by means of a spring or weight 26 and solenoid 28, the winding of which is connected to the secondary winding of a potential transformer 36 the circuit of which contains a resistance 37, across which the winding 19 of the magnet 18 is connected when the contacts on the arms 20, 23 are in engagement. The operation of the apparatus is as follows. When the potential of the alternator 1 is such that the arm 23 occupies the position shown, the engagement of the contacts on the arms 20, 23 causes the energization of the winding 19 and, consequently, the engagement of the contacts 29, 30 and the separation of the previously engaging contacts by the movement of the arm 20. The separation of these contacts deenergizes the winding 19, and the contacts 29, 30 are separated, removing the short-circuit about the coil 11 of the relay 8 and thereby causing the contacts 15, 16 to be separated to introduce the resistance 7 into the exciter field circuit, and the engagement of the contacts 40, 41 to shortcircuit a resistance in the circuit of the magnet 28. The de - energization of the winding 19 causes the contacts on the arms 20, 23 to engage by means of the spring 25, when the abovedescribed operation is repeated.
