Title: An Improved Detector for Wireless Telegraphy.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1906-04-10
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 8659. Thompson, W. P., [Ges. f³r Drahtlose Telegraphie]. April 10. Telegraphs.-A wave-detector for wireless telegraphy consists of a sensitive contact between the elements of which a high pressure is maintained without the detector losing its sensitiveness to waves. The materials used for the contact are such as do not follow Ohm's law, and which contain moisture chemically or mechanically combined. The natural manganese compounds, psilomelan, pyrolusite, braunite, and manganite, are suitable materials. A block of psilomelan which is embedded in tin 2 held in a brass sheath 3 forms one contact-piece, while the other preferably consists of a good conducting - material which does not oxidize easily, such as platinum, gold, silver, or lead, a platinum point 5 being soldered to a screw 4. The sheath 3, which screws on to a vulcanite plug 6, forms one terminal, and a plate 7 connected by a wire 8 to the screw 4 forms the other. The elements 1, 5 or the elements 2, 8 may be so selected from the potential series that an electromotive force is set up, thus obviating the use of a separate source of potential for rendering the device sensitive.

Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 13,569. Fitzpatrick, H. D., [Leslie, H. M.]. June 12. Suction filters.-Filter-trays a are arranged in fixed positions around a rotating shaft e carrying a hopper q to which crushed ore or slime to be treated is supplied. From the hopper q, the material passes through a pipe y to a trough w divided into compartments which correspond to the several trays a. Shoots 3 deliver the material from the compartments on to the trays. Figs. 3 and 5 show the construction of the trays. A central part a<1> is provided with a web a<2> having rims a<3> projecting in both directions at the edges. In both sides of the tray are placed frames i, over which are stretched filtering-surfaces g, h, preferably of linen or cotton duck, which retain layers of fibre g' against the web a<2>. In each side of the part a' are formed two passages a<9> having a series of holes a<8>. The passages a<9> on either side and similar passages a<13> along the end of the filter frame communicate with ports in the surface of a boss a<5> attached to the tray. Each tray is fixed on an axle b mounted on bearings in the framework d<2>. As the shaft e revolves, the material is delivered successively to the several trays. The liquid is sucked from the upper passages a<9>, a<13> of a tray receiving the slime through the connected passage in the boss a<5>, which in this position is in communication with a port on a fixed boss a<6> leading by a branch to a circular vacuum pipe m. On further rotation of the shaft e, the tray receives wash liquor from a pipe u communicating by means of adjustable hollow rings or chambers s with the hollow spindle q<1>. On still further rotation, a tappet arm l adjustable on the shaft e contacts with the teeth of a wheel f on the axle b and turns the tray partially over a position in which the passage in the boss a<5> communicates with a second port on the boss a<6>, and air or water under pressure is admitted from the pipe p to remove the cake of solid material. This material is collected in the drain z. A second tappet completes the reversal of the tray.

Title: Novel or Improved Means for use in Automatically Regulating the Voltage in connection with a Dynamo Electric Machine or Machines.
Filed: 1907-06-14
Granted: 1908-06-15
Abstract: 13,761. Electric Construction Co., Buchanan, W., and McMillan, J. June 14. Dynamos, regulating.-The current in the field of a dynamo is varied electro-magnetically to keep the voltage of the machine constant. Between the mains B, B<1> of the dynamo A is placed a solenoid C, the core c of which is connected to a bar D pivoted at the point d. The bar D is also acted upon by a spring or weight, which under normal conditions balances the pull of the solenoid core c. If the voltage across the mains B, B' varies, the arm D is moved, causing one of the contacts b to complete the circuit of one of the electro-magnets E, E<1> by making contact with one of the contacts a<1>, Fig. 1. If the electro-magnet E is energized, its core E<2> is raised, causing the friction-pawl g to engage with the friction-ratchet F, which is rigidly attached to the bar N of the regulating-switch, thereby varying the resistance in the circuit of the field winding a of the dynamo A, In order to deenergize the solenoid E, after it has operated the bar N, a make-and-break device e<1> is placed in its circuit. To operate this device, arms M, M', Fig. 2, are attached to the solenoid cores by links K<2>, K<3>. The arms M, M<1> carry studs n which engage with levers K, K<1> rigidly attached to the device e', so that, when the arms M, M<1> are operated, the contacts e<2>, e<3> are disconnected from the spring fingers f<2>, f<3>, thereby breaking the circuit of the energized solenoid. If the arm N moves to its extreme position in either direction, it comes into contact with a spring arm p or p<1> of a switch P or P', Fig. 1, and opens the circuit of the corresponding solenoid. The friction-pawls g are preferably spring-pressed, and rest upon suitable stops f when in their normal position. When the tendency of the voltage is to fluctuate considerably, two or more pairs of circuits controlled by the relay E may be employed, each extra circuit being capable of independently operating a corresponding ratchet pawl and bringing in or cutting out a greater amount of resistance.
