Title: Improvements relating to mountings for rod aerials
IPC: H01Q1/08
Filed: 1949-01-04
Abstract: 670,704. Aerials. MOULTON, E. W., and SHARDLOW ELECTRIC WIRES, Ltd. Feb. 3, 1950 [Jan. 4, 1949], No. 167/49. Class .40 (vii). [Also in Group XXV] A mounting for a rod aerial A on the roof 11 of a vehicle, so that the aerial may be rotated at will from inside the vehicle and may be safely depressed should it encounter an obstruction, comprises a lower disc-like member 10 of insulating material, fixed to the forward curving part of the roof by means of bolts 13, plate 14 and rubber washers 12 and 15, and a rotatable dome-like member 17 which may also be insulating material. A diametric slot in the top of the dome member 17 carries a metal block 20 slidable therein and pivotally attached by a pin 24 to a spindle 23 which passes through holes in the roof and fixed members. The spindle 23 is pressed downwardly by a concentric coil spring 28 which thereby retains the block 20 and dome member 17 in position but able to rotate. The spring 28 acts between the fixed member 10, by means of the washer 23a retained therein, and the spindle sleeve 27 pinned to the spindle 23 and carrying a knob 26 located within the vehicle. The aerial rod A is secured in the metal block 20 at an angle of about 45 degrees to the spindle axis, thus being rotatable by means of the knob 26 to an approximately horizontal forward position. It may also be depressed on encountering an obstruction when in the raised position, the block 20 then pivoting within the dome member 17 and lifting spindle 23 against the action of spring 28. Two spring-loaded ball catches 31, 31 are provided between the disc 10 and dome 17 so that the aerial can be located in either of two positions 180 degrees apart. Connection to the aerial is made by means of a washer 34, pressed against the washer 23a by spring 28, having a tongue 35 parallel to the spindle axes and extending inside the roof 11 where the core 32 of coaxial cable 33 is attached. The hole within the disc member 10 is provided with a keyway to receive the tongue 35.

Title: Improvements in or relating to steam engines
IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1932-01-05
Abstract: 394,993. Steam-engine cylinders. MELDAHL, K. A., Ennetbaden, Argau, Switzerland. Jan. 5, 1932, No. 302. [Class 122 (i).] The safety valve of a steam engine is separated from the cylinder, slide box, steam channel, &c. by means of an intermediate chamber which communicates with the cylinder &c. through one or more non-returr valves opening into the intermediate space Steam which has already expanded in a preceding cylinder may be ad mitted into hollow cham. bers in the cover or bottom or in the wall of the cylinder wherein it is confined and gives out heat to the working-steam in the cylinder. A short pipe or jacket may be used instead of the hollow chambers. The working-steam in the cylinder may be initially supplied to the chambers. When the steam is taken from the preceding cylinder, it is released through control valves at the end of the expansion period. Non-return valves are arranged in series with the control valves which close when the cylinder pressure drops at the opening of the slide valve. When the steam is taken from the same cylinder the chambers 4, 5 are provided with lightlyloaded non-return inlet valves 6, 9 or valves in the wall of the steam pipe or the steam channel of the cylinder communicating therewith. The safety valve may be arranged on a pipe leading to the feed-water heater, or on the feed water-heater, or may form an admission valve to the heater. The safety valve 7 is shown acting as a guide to the valve 6.

Jan. 6, 1934, No. 579. [Class 38 (iv)] In a supply to a load from a D.C. circuit through a rotary transformer, the voltage is maintained constant by means of a series or parallel resonant circuit connected in series in the A.C. circuit. A series resonant circuit is arranged to be resonant at a frequency corresponding to the lowest D.C. voltage so that as the frequency rises due to increase of the D.C. voltage the impedance of the circuit increases. A parallel resonant circuit is arranged to be resonant at a frequency corresponding to the highest D.C. voltage, so that the voltage drop across it increases as the frequency increases. When a parallel resonant circuit is used the condenser may be supplied by a step-up transformer to enable a smaller condenser to be used. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 405,043.

Title: Improvements in the propagation of fungi
IPC: C12N3/00
Filed: 1958-01-07
Abstract: Organisms of the class of predacious Moniliaceae are cultivated in a fermentation medium containing nutrients essential to the growth of the organism, the concentration of available nitrogen in the medium being low.  If necessary the concentration of electrolyte in the medium may be high, but it should be below the level at which the electroylte is toxic to the organism.  A suitable electroylte is calcium chloride, at a concentration of the order of 4%. Fermentation may be carried out in either deep or surface culture. Any organic source of nitrogen may be used, whey being particularly useful.  Carbohydrates (lactosa, corn steep liquor) may also be present.  The initial pH of the medium should be between 6,8 and 7,0. After culturing, the fermentation liquor may be freeze-dried to give a free flowing powder containing viable spores.  This powder may be suspended in water and used as a spray for soil infested with eelworm. Specifications 800,730 and 800,736 are referred to.

A rope-hauled vehicle (or lift-cage) carries a rope grip which, in the event of breaking of the haulage rope, grips a stationary rope anchored resiliently parallel to the track of the vehicle. The jaw is held in the open position by a trigger which is tripped to close the jaw by the release of the armature of an electromagnet effected by breaking an electric circuit. The circuit flows via a slip-ring on the winding drum through an insulating core in the haulage rope to the magnet and returns either via the tail haulage rope or via the vehicle wheels. The rope may operate a signal to stop the winch motor.

Title: Electron emitting element, and manufacture thereof
Inventor: HIRAO TAKASHI
IPC: H01J9/02
Filed: 1998-01-05
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electron emitting element capable of emitting electrons stably at favorable yield. SOLUTION: After a first electrode 2 is formed on a substrate 1, a diamond layer 3 is formed on the first electrode 2, and negative electronegativity is provided on the surface of the diamond layer 3. A second electrode 5 is then formed apart from the diamond layer 3 above it, and an insulating film is formed on the side surfaces of the second electrode 5. Using the second electrode 5 and the insulating film as the masks, carbon is introduced between plural second electrodes 5 to form a current passage zone 7 from the first electrode 2 to reach the surface of the diamond layer 3, and the insulating film is eliminated finally. In this constitution, electrons moving in the current passage zone 7 have a motion vector directing to the external of the element, thereby the electrons can be easily and efficiently emitted.
