Patent GB-428542-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to compositions adapted to be used as insecticides and fungicides
Filed: 1933-11-15
Abstract: Insecticidal and fungicidal compositions contain phenolic compounds and/or organic sulphur compounds, e.g. mercaptans, derived from alkaline wash liquors employed in refining oils such as petroleum, peat, shale, lignite, and particularly cracked petroleum oils, together with alkali metal polysulphides and agents promoting the emulsification in water.  Such agents include salts of naphthenic acid or of aromatic sulphonic acids, fatty or resin acid soaps, and salts of sulphonated oils or fats or sulphonated fatty acids.  The alkaline wash liquors obtained by treating the oils with aqueous alkali such as caustic soda, alone or containing litharge, are acidified, the oily layer separated, alkali added if necessary, and sulphur dissolved therein.  When strong acids are employed for the acidification, the separated oil will contain naphthenic acids and, after washing with water, may be neutralized with a weak alkali, e.g. Na2CO3, to form salts thereof.  With weak acids such as CO2 or H2S, alkali carbonates or sulphides are obtained which, by addition of sulphur, form polysulphides.  The salts of the naphthenic acids will not, however, be decomposed.  Solution of the sulphur is facilitated by heating up to 50 or 60 DEG  C.  The tendency of the products to deposit an aqueous layer may be prevented by adding further emulsifying agent.  Additional quantities of the phenolic and organic sulphur compounds obtained from alkaline wash liquors, for instance in the manner described in Specification 386,977, may be incorporated.  The compounds obtained by this same prior process may also be used as starting materials in the present process.  Phenolic bodies derived from coal tar may be included in the compositions. According to examples, each gallon of the oil derived from spent wash liquors in the treatment of cracked petroleum has 0,4-0,5 lb. sulphur, and 1,2-1,3 lb. soap, made from coconut oil fatty acids and containing 36 per cent water, incorporated therewith.

Abstract: 375,682. Making rings for ball races &c. SCHLAA, F. I., 12A, Gerlingserweg, Iserlohn, Westphalia, Germany. Nov. 18, 1931, No. 32004. Convention date, Nov. 29, 1930. [Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv).] Rings for ball races or the like are made so as to ensure the fibres of the metal being axial and transverse to the ball groove and to form working surfaces free from decarburization. A disc a cut from a rod is first subjected to a pressing process to give the section shown in Fig. 3, this is said to force the fibres in the thick portion to lie in an axial direction ; the web d is then punched out and the remaining ring formed into an inner and outer race also by punching, the working surfaces being thus free from decarburization ; the desired diameter of these parts is subsequently obtained by rolling.

Title: Improvements in or relating to information storage devices
Inventor: PARKER ANTHONY HUGH
IPC: H03M1/00
Filed: 1959-09-22
Abstract: 973,208. Counters; electric selective signalling. DE HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT CO. Ltd. Nov.17, 1960 [Sept. 22, 1959], No. 32288/59. Headings G4A and G4H. The elements of a ring counter are associated with elements in a second ring which can be made to complete a cycle, so indicating the state of the first ring. The first ring comprises magnetic core 10-13 each with input winding 14, 15 and output windings 16, 17. According to whether the counter is to shift left or right so line 22 or 24 is earthed. Input impulses are applied alternately to leads 18, 19. Suppose that the counter is set to shift right and that element 11 in the first ring and the associated element 31 in the second ring are set to 1. Then an impulse on lead 19 turns 11 to 0 inducing an impulse in winding 17 which is amplified by the associated transistor 21 to energize winding 15 of element 12 which therefore turns to 1. The pulse through winding 14 also passes through winding 34 of element 31 so that the second ring also advances in like manner. The pulse also turns a bi-stable element 27 associated with element 12 to "on". The elements 27 are so arranged that the current flow through resistor 28 is proportional to the value of the digit represented. In reverse counting transistors 20 are effective instead of transistors 21. In read-out line 41 is earthed to render transistors 40 responsive to pulses from output windings 38. The second ring is driven through a complete cycle by an appropriate number of pulses on line 44, the time taken for the "1" condition to reach the end of the ring indicating the condition of the first ring. Measuring voltage. The voltage to be measured is applied at 50 to a null detector 51 together with the voltage applied across resistor 28. According to whether the voltage across 28 is greater or less than the test voltage so a tristable circuit 52 marks line 59 or 57 to cause left or right shift of units counter B. The units counter can transfer positively or negatively to tens counter A through gate 66 or 67, one or other of which is disabled by line 57 or 59. When equality between 28 and 50 is established line 58 is marked to inhibit gate 63, so stopping stepping of the counters. Read-out is effected from the C registers. If the test voltage is outside the limits of the measuring device, when counters A and B together reach their upper or lower limits they energize gate 68 or 69 to stop further operation. Specification 973,207 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,123,351. Grounded aircraft trainers. GENERAL PRECISION SYSTEMS Ltd. 9 Aug., 1965 [7 Aug., 1964], No. 32293/64. Heading B7W. An aircraft flight simulator has a television camera G arranged to move in relation to a model landing runway C in response to the handling by a trainee pilot of the simulated aircraft A, the relative motion being controlled by signals representing the changing Cartesian co-ordinates N, E of the aircraft's plan position, and these signals are applied through a resolver L adjustable to turn its resolution axes through a predetermined angle #, this angle also being added to the heading angle of the aircraft to give the heading angle H of the camera relative to the model. Thus a single model runway can be used for a training programme in which a landing approach is broken off and a further approach is made to an alternative runway on a different heading. The runway is moved in the Y-direction by a motor M(Y), the camera is moved in the X-direction by a motor M(X), and is rotated to simulate heading variations by a motor M(H).

To increase grid-cathode impedance at the harmonic frequency and thus also increase the output voltage, a coil 26 which is self-resonant at the harmonic frequency, is included in the gridcathode path ; the coil has negligible effect at the fundamental frequency. In addition, coil 27, which is self-resonant at the fundamental frequency, is included in the cathode circuit to provide a high cathode impedance at the fundamental frequency and a low impedance at the harmonic frequency. A modification (Fig. 3, not shown), is described showing a similar circuit arrangement as applied to a Hartley type of oscillator circuit.
