Title: Disposal treatment of waste liquids
IPC: C02F11/12
Filed: 1965-05-04
Abstract: 1,090,800. Sewage treatment. DORROLIVER Inc. May 4, 1965 [May 6, 1964], No. 18842/65. Heading BID. Grease accumulating on the surface of liquid sewage in a settling tank is collected therefrom and introduced into a bed B-1 of settled solids, either in the same tank or in another tank down-stream (Figure 2, not shown), the grease being dispersed in the solids and the solids/ grease mixture being withdrawn for subsequent destruction. In Figure 1 grease-free liquid is withdrawn over a weir 12 while grease retained behind baffle 13 is directed by skimmer 14 into scum pit 16a, skimmer 14 being mounted on a rotary shaft with sludge-kneading rake 15. In pit 16a grease floats on the top and non- grease liquid underneath, (Figure 4, not shown), and the latter is periodically withdrawn by pump 20, valves 24, 37 and returned to inlet 11a. Subsequently pump 25 pumps the grease slowly into tank 10 at a point displaced from sludge outlet 17 (Figure 3, not shown), while pump 20 resumes its normal, sludge withdrawing function. Pump 20 delivers sludge/ grease mixture to a centrifuge, vacuum filter or rotary drum filter 33, whose liquid effluent is returned to tank 10 by valve 33a while the moist cake is dried, then incinerated at 34. In Figure 2 (not shown) the grease is withdrawn from a primary clarifier tank (C-1) whose sludge effluent is subsequently treated in a smaller thickening tank (T-1) into whose sludge bed the grease is introduced. The sludge/grease mixture from tank (T-1) is delivered to an anaerobic digester (57). In Figure 2 the grease may enter the tank (T-1) at a separate inlet, as in Figure 1, or may be directed in via the sludge outlet while sludge withdrawal is temporarily suspended. Alternatively grease could be delivered down the hollow rake shaft to outlets in its lower end. Tank (T-1) could have its own grease collecting plant as in tank 10. Figure 3 (not shown) illustrates the lower grease inlet (44) the sludge inlet (45) in the central pier and the sludge withdrawal pipe (46) of tank (T-1).

Abstract: 1439444 Joining glass surfaces by metal members RCA CORPORATION 1 May 1974 [10 May 1973] 19058/74 Heading C1M In joining two glass members 21, 22, such as the core and faceplate of a cathode-ray tube, having matching closed surfaces 23, 24 to be joined, a metal sealing member 20 of similar configuration is positioned between the surfaces 23, 24 in substantially continuous surface contact therewith, the member 20 being resistance heated to above the softening temperature of the glass for a time necessary to melt only the adjacent surfaces and then allowed to coil and the metal member 20 having a coefficient of thermal expansion which exceeds those of each glass member 21, 22 by from 0À5 to 10 x 10<SP>-7</SP>/‹ C. to place the glass members in compression. Soft glass is preferably used, having a range of C.T.E. of 85 to 150 Î 10<SP>-7</SP>/‹ C. The member 20 may be of Fe-Ni-Co-Mn alloy of C.T.E. about 98 Î 10<SP>-7</SP>/‹ C. or of Fe-Cr alloy. As shown, a flat metal member 20 is used, but in an alternative embodiment a wire of round section is used. Projections 27a, 27b may be provided, for connection to electrical energy, at opposed corners to give current paths of substantially the same length, or contacts may be applied against the exposed edge of the member. The sealing surfaces of the faceplate 21 and core 22 may be stepped and the metal member (round or flat) positioned in the outside step to assist in prevention of arcing since the metal is blanked off from the inside of the cathode-ray tube. To permit salvage of faceplate or core from a scrap assembly, the metal member is merely reheated.
Patent GB-1581417-A (GB)
Title: Synchronising arrangements for tdm data transmission systems
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1978-05-12
Abstract: Time division multiplex signal transmission requires synchronisation information for the division at the receiving end of the channels combined at the transmitting end to form one pulse frame. A pulse pattern generated by a feedback n-stage shift register can be provided for this purpose. For recognition at the receiving end, an n-stage shift register (SR) corresponding to the transmitting end is provided at the receiving end in conjunction with a comparator (V). It is proposed to activate the n-stage shift register (SR) at the receiving end via a first changeover switch (U1) controlled by a level meter (Fü-Z) optionally for the reception of the transmitted pulse pattern or, by closing a feedback loop (S, MA), to generate an identical pulse pattern transmitted from the transmitting end. Furthermore, a second changeover switch (U2) is provided which, depending on the comparison result of a comparator (V) comparing the incoming pulse pattern with the pulse pattern generated at the receiving end, connects an inverter (I) into the feedback circuit of the shift register (SR) at the receiving end if the pulse patterns do not correspond. Lack of synchronisation at the receiving end is indicated in this way by return transmission of an inverted pulse pattern from the transmitting end. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrohydraulic actuators
IPC: F15C1/04
Filed: 1961-05-26
Abstract: 983,103. Reciprocating motors and pumps. LABORATOIR D'ELECTRONIQUE ET D'AUTOMATIQUE DAUPHINOIS. May 26, 1961 [May 27, 1960], No. 19154/61. Heading F1A. [Also in Divisions F2, G1, G3, G4 and H2] A distributer valve 14, Fig.. 1, controlling an hydraulic motor (not shown) is actuated by a pressure differential produced in an electrically conductive liquid, e.g. a metallic alloy that is liquid at room temperature, by the application to windings 19a, 19b on a stator 18 of alternating voltages derived from a common source U o , the voltage fed to the winding 19b being a reference and being phase-shifted 90 degrees by capacitors C 1 , C 2  whilst that fed to the winding 19a is varied in amplitude by a signal U s  fed through a transformer T s . In a modification, the conductive liquid is isolated from the valve by flexible diaphragms, and the valve may control differentially the leakage from opposite ends of the motor which are fed through restrictions with pressure fluid. In a further modification, the fluid controlled by the valve is the conductive liquid which is able to circulate through passages in the valve and to cause rotation of the valve to reduce friction. Fig. 8 shows a modification in which the conductive liquid in a conduit 87 acts on diaphragms 87a, 87b which cause the deflection of a flow of hydraulic medium to one end or the other of motor M. Auxiliary conduits 91, 92, which may be omitted, stabilize the flow. The arrangement may be modified so that the diaphragms are dispensed with and the conductive liquid acts directly on the motor which may produce a rotary instead of a rectilinear movement. The motor may be a double bellows or diaphragm arrangement operating a graphic recorder. A number of units utilizing diaphragms as in Fig. 8 may be combined to constitute a binary adding machine with electrical inputs and hydraulic outputs. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 13 the conductive liquid reciprocates diaphragms 151, 152 which pump a second medium from an inlet A to an outlet B, whilst in a modification of this arrangement the diaphragms, instead of acting as pumps, are linked to each other and to a punch for perforating a ribbon.

Abstract: 788,466. Potentiometric voltage measurement. ASKANIA-WERKE AKT.-GES. July 4, 1955 [July 3, 1954], No. 19267/55. Class 37. Apparatus for measuring a direct voltage comprises a current balance deviated from a datum position by an amount proportional to the rotation of a servomotor, means deriving an output current proportional to the deviation which is applied to exert a rebalancing force on the arm of the balance, means for deriving the difference voltage between the input and a voltage proportional to the deviation current which difference voltage controls the servomotor operation in magnitude and sense, and means for directly or indirectly indicating the angle of rotation of the motor as a measure of input voltage.  A small direct voltage produced, e.g., by a temperature - responsive thermocouple 1 is applied in series with resistor 2 to interrupteramplifier 3 whose alternating output drives servomotor 4 geared to threaded shaft 9 traversing nut 8 carrying temperature pointer 15 and the attachment of spiral spring 6 whose other end is attached to balance arm 7 pivoted on fulcrum 16. The arm at the side of the fulcrum remote from the spring attachment carries winding 10 movable between A.C. energized coils 18 to derive an alternating deflection volt. age, which after amplification and rectification at 11 develops a unidirectional voltage representing the deflection of the arm in magnitude and sense which is connected in series with a coil 17 carried by the arm adjacently to the attachment of spring 6 and a resistor 13 to develop a voltage, which after smoothing by filter 14 is opposed to the input voltage across resistor 2. The servomotor runs until the resultant voltage across the input to amplifier 3 is zero, at which the deflecting force applied to arm 7 by spring 6 is balanced by the opposed force developed by the energization of coil 17 in co-operation with a permanent magnet 12, and the pointer 15 indicates the input voltage on a scale which may be calibrated directly in temperatures. Alternatively the balance arm may be pivoted horizontally and the servomotor may mechanically traverse a jockey weight along such arm.

Filed: 1972-04-26
Abstract: 1391995 Watches SEIKO SHA KK 26 April 1972 [27 April 1971] 19399/72 Heading G3T An electronic chronograph comprises an oscillator 1, frequency dividers 2-4, counters 5- 11 which count the divider output, storage latching circuits 12-17 storing the counts of respective counters, and control circuits 46, 51 whereby a display of time of day or elapsed time can be selected. When the watch is indicating time of day, the output of divider 4 at 100 c/s is used, via the counters and latching circuits, to advance l.e.d. displays 29-34 of decimals of seconds, seconds, and minutes, and to light one of hour indicating lamps 35-45. Setting is possible by opening switch 62 in control circuit 56, so that the 100 c/s divider output is supplied to counter 9. For fine setting, switch 61 is opened so that a 10 c/s signal is supplied. The watch may be started at the instant of a time signal by operating start-stop switch 49 to open the input gate of divider 2. For use as a stop-watch, a latch control switch 52 is set to open the input gates of latch circuits 12-17 and the switch 49 is used to start the timing operation, elapsed times of up to sixty minutes being displayed by elements 29-34. The switch 52 may be used to display the time at the end of a stage or lap, the counters continuing to count and changing the displayed time when the switch 52 is actuated once more. The cumulative lap times of a race can thus be shown. The timing operation is finally terminated by actuation of switch 49. For resetting to zero, switch 64 is set to give a HIGH input to NAND gate 67 via gate 65. Since the other input of gate 67 receives a LOW signal via invertor 68, the output of 67 is changed to LOW and the dividers 3, 4 and counters 5-11 are reset. Resetting is inhibited, however, if the gate of divider 2 is open and counting is in progress.
