Abstract: 11,956. McCourt, C. D., and Bonecourt Surface Combustion, Ltd. May 22. Crucible and muffle furnaces; open-hearth furnaces; annealing, welding, and metallurgical furnaces.-Gaseous fuel and air in substantially the proportions necessary for full and complete combustion are introduced in separate continuous streams into a mixing-chamber wherein combustion begins. The gas and air issue from this chamber as a homogeneous mixture, and combustion is completed upon or near the surfaces of refractory bodies or materials in or forming the furnace or objects therein. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement comprising pipes 7, 8 supplying air or gas to a chamber 3, wherein combustion begins. It is completed on the refractory lining 1 of the furnace and on the walls 2 of the crucible or muffle. In other apparatus, the surface on which the combustion is completed may be a floor, wall, or slab, or granular &c. masses of refractory materials, or materials under treatment, in conduits, furnaces, or other receptacles, or on hearths &c. The invention may also be applied to annealing, welding, ore-treating furnaces, and to heating- apparatus in general. Granular or fragmentary material may be packed between the surfaces of the crucible or muffle and the surfaces of the furnace walls &c., which may be roughened to extend the surface on which combustion takes place. In the Provisional Specification, Specifications 25,808/09, [Class 51 (i), Furnaces &c., Combustion apparatus of], and 29,430/09 are referred to, and it is stated that injecting-agents such as steam may be used.

Abstract: 12,948. Denne, M. T. June 4. Sewing-machines ; stopping - gear, non- automatic; governing needle thread. - In a power-driven sewing- machine, the control is arranged so that the thread-tension must be put on before t h e machine can be started, and cannot be taken off until the machine has been stopped. The tension disks B, C are pressed together by a spring H placed between the bracket F and an adjustable nut J on a spindle G which carries the disk D. A bellcrank lever L is arranged between the end of the spindle G and a rod K connected with the starting-lever. The connexion between the starting-lever and the driving-clutch comprises a lost-motion device, and while this is being taken up, the rod K, in moving down against the spring A, allows the lever L to fall and put the tension on the thread. A light spring O may be arranged to prevent the lever from falling too far, and adjusting-screws P may be provided. The reverse action takes place on stopping the machine. Instead of providing lost-motion in the clutch-operating means, separate pedals for the clutch and tension, suitably interlocked, may be provided.

Abstract: 1405. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Jan. 31, 1913, [Convention date]. Addition to 1407/13. Dynamos, regulating; exciting.-Relates to a form of the regulating-arrangement described in the parent Specification, in which the fieldmagnet winding D of a generator is connected on the one hand to an auxiliary armature brush a<3>, and on the other hand to the sliding-contact E of a regulating-resistance connected to an outside source of voltage G. The invention consists iu connecting the regulating-resistance H across the main brushes a', a<2> of the generator, and in joining the positive lead of the source G to an intermediate point h<3> on the resistance H. As long as the contact E is situated between the points h<1>, h<3> of the resistance, the regulation of the generator is in accordance with the prior Specification. If the contact E is moved over the point h<3> towards the point h<2>, the generator behaves similarly to a self-exciting machine, and its armature voltage can be increased beyond the amount determined by the position h<3> of the contact. A cut-out depending upon the movement of the contact E may interrupt the positive conductor of the source G as soon as the contact has passed over the point h<3> towards the point h<2>. The brush a<3> may rest on a slipring connected to the armature winding.

Abstract: An analyte meter is configured to digitally test for the presence of a test strip in the meter and for the presence of a sample in the test strip prior to activating an analog current measurement circuit of the meter. A test strip port connector having a plurality of contacts receives an inserted test strip in which the contacts electrically connect to electrodes on the test strip for digitally detecting both the presence of a test strip and a sample added to the test strip. A control circuit monitoring the contacts maintains the analyte meter in a low power mode until detecting both the test strip and the sample, whereupon the control circuit activates the meter and enables an analog analyte measurement circuit.
