Filed: 1971-04-20
Abstract: 1333880 Bandwidth compression systems PHONPLEX CORP 20 April 1971 [21 May 1970] 10097/71 Heading H4R In a bandwidth compression system which allows a number of speech signals to be transmitted over one telephone channel the speech waveform of each speech signal is coded and a section of the coded waveform, e.g. one pitch period, is compared with succeeding sections and if the difference between successive sections is less than a predetermined amount the coded waveform of one section is transmitted together with a direction code controlling the number of repeats of the section. The signals of a number of channels may be transmitted sequentially or only when there is a change in the waveform of successive sections, in which case the direction code will indicate the channel to which the transmitted section belongs. The waveform may be coded by sampling the amplitude arid converting the samples to digital values or the positions of the points of zero slope in the speech waveform can be determined and the positions transmitted by specifying the magnitude and time of occurrence.

Title: One-way engaging devices, such as clutches
Inventor: WADE DANIEL M
IPC: F16D41/07
Filed: 1958-03-31
Abstract: 864,887. Ratchet clutches. BORG-WARNER CORPORATION. March 31, 1958, No. 10309/58. Class 80 (2). [Also in Group XXXIV] A one-way engaging device such as a ratchet clutch comprises relatively rotatable inner and outer races 1, 3 engaged by a plurality of sprags 12 positioned in inner and outer cages 6, 16, the outer race having an outwardly-directed peripheral flange 8 and the inner race an inwardlydirected peripheral flange 22, each of these flanges being cut as at 14, 23 so that a small portion 15, 24 of each flange together with its associated cage-bar 9<SP>1</SP>, 19<SP>1</SP> forms a T-piece which can be bent outwardly and inwardly, respectively, to engage frictionally with the outer and inner races. The sprags 12 are normally biased to engage the inner and outer races 1, 3 by a flexible sheet-metal cage 27 having spaces through which the sprags extend, the edge of each space having a spring tab engaging the associated sprag. On relative rotation between the inner and outer races 1, 3 in the overrunning direction, the friction between the outwardly-bent T-piece 15, 9<SP>1</SP> and the outer race, together with the friction between the inwardlybent T-piece 24, 19<SP>1</SP> and the inner race turns the two cages 6, 16 relatively to each other, so as to reduce the force with which the sprags 12 are biased to engage the two races. Wear of the surfaces of the races and of the sprags is thereby reduced. The spring rating of the T-pieces 15, 9<SP>1</SP>; 24, 19<SP>1</SP> can be varied by punching a hole at the base of the T-piece, cutting a slot therein, reducing the section of the cage bar 91 &c., connecting the T-piece to the unflanged ring of the cage, by reducing the axial width of the unflanged cage ring adjacent the T-piece or by reducing the thickness of the cage at this point. Raised portions on the flanges 8, 22 may be provided diametrically opposite to the T-shaped pieces 91, 191, Fig. 11 (not shown), to enable the spring-bias engaging the T-pieces with the associated races to be accurately adjusted. Specification 763,353 is referred to.

Filed: 1926-04-20
Abstract: 251,271. Kodak, Ltd., (Assignees of Sheppard, S. E., and Beal, C. L.). April 22, 1925, [Convention date]. Emulsions, making.-An emulsion for use as an electrolyte in the electrodeposition of rubber is prepared in the following way : 1000 c.c. of a 5 per cent solution of rubber in benzol is diluted with 100 c.c. of paraffin. To this is added 500 c.c. of sulphonated castor oil and the mixture is stirred into 3000 c.c. of an aqueous solution containing 150 gms. of castile soap. Pigments such as lamp black and vulcanizing agents may be added to the solution before emulsification. Aniline sulphate or other agents for accelerating vulcanization may also be added before emulsincation. Vulcanizing agents may also be added to the emulsion in collodial form. Accelerating agents may be deposited with the rubber in the absence of a vulcanizing agent, the coating in this case being subsequently vulcanized by treatment in a solution of sulphur in sulphur dichloride or otherwise. When a deposit of high electrical resistance containing little mineral matter is required, an ammonium soap is employed as emulsifying agent; the ammonia is driven off during vulcanization. Instead of a castile soap other emulsifying agents such as saturated or unsaturated compounds of fatty acids with alkali metals or ammonium, or sodium phenol or cresolate with or without excess of cresol or cresylic acid may be employed.

Title: Communication exchange systems
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1940-06-18
Abstract: 541,768. Automatic exchange systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. June 18, 1940, No. 10549. Convention date, July 24, 1939. [Class 40 (iv)] In a call-finder arrangement, each individual line circuit comprises three high resistances J, K, L connected as shown, and the existence of a calling condition is' marked by potentials applied by way of the loop to a common start wire k and to the individual c wire, thermionic valves being employed for detecting such potentials. The resistances K, L are substantially equal and may be of the order of 50,000 ohms, while the resistances J are of higher value. When a call is made, the negative potential applied over the three resistances in series to the grid of the valve V which is normally earthed through a high resistance G brings about the release of relay X and the operation of relay Y, thus completing the stepping circuit for the finder connected up by the allotter N. A common test circuit T which is similar to the start circuit S is associated with the finder through the allotter N, and when the calling line is reached the negative potential over K, L causes the release of X<SP>1</SP> and the operation of Y<SP>1</SP>, which stops the finder and connects up switching relay R. The latter grounds the c wire and thus restores the start and test circuits to their normal condition. When the finders serve a group of 100 or 200 lines, instead of all the lines being connected in multiple to the common start wire k, it is preferable to divide the group into sub-groups of 5 to 20 lines with a separate wire k<SP>1</SP> for each sub-group, the various wires k<SP>1</SP> being connected in succession to the start wire k by a constantly rotating commutator. In an extreme case, an individual wire k<SP>1</SP> may be provided for each line, and in such an arrangement the resistances J may be omitted. In a modification, the start and test circuits are combined in a single circuit ST, in which relay Z<SP>11</SP> which is operated to start the finder transfers the control valve V<SP>11</SP> to the test circuit and holds in series with slow-release relay Y<SP>11</SP>until the calling line is found, when it relapses followed by Y<SP>11</SP>. The starting arrangement may be used in a system in which testing is performed by a simple bridged test relay. Other arrangements of finders may be employed, for example, a number of finders may be started simultaneously, or a finder having nearest access to the calling line may be started. Moreover the finder switches may be replaced by finders of relay or cross-bar type.

Abstract: 252,339. Redlich, V. May 19, 1925, [Convention date]. Strainer separators; discharging.- In a strainer separator the liquids pass through the perforated drum while the solids are carried round in cells in a second drum and are discharged through special openings in the perforated drum. A non-perforated wall 2 surrounds'the perforated drum 1 and collects the separated liquid which then passes to the discharge pipe 14. An inner drum 3 is formed of grids and comprises a number of cells in which the solids collect. This drum 3 is rotated in the same direction as the drum 1 but at a different speed. As the cells reach the vertical or inclined slots 5 in the drum 1 and liquidcollector 2, the solids are discharged by centrifugal force and pass through the chamber 4 to the discharge pipe 12. The material is constantly fed through the pipes 27, 16 and channels 19 which extend through the depth of the drum 3; the feeding means 16, 19 rotate at the same speed as the drum 1. The ends of the walls of the channels 19 may act as scrapers or they may have separate scrapers 19<1>. If it is desired to supply constantly a second liquid, for instance fine liquor in the manufacture of sugar, the second liquid is fed in through the pipe 28 and sleeve 20, and channels 22 displaced from the channels 19 conveying the main mixture. The second liquid may be collected in a separate part of the casing. The cells on the drum 3 may be of the desired size for moulding the solid products and these may be discharged through horizontal channels 23<1>, Fig. 5, or through channels 24 which begin horizontally but curve into a vertical direction leading to the outlet 35..
