Title: Anaesthetic metering device
Inventor: GIPPERT KARL-LUDWIG
IPC: B01F23/10
Filed: 2007-08-29
Abstract: The metering element of an anaesthetic metering device is intended to be improved in such a way that it can easily be manufactured and enables the metering of anaesthetic over a large adjustment range. The solution takes place by the fact that the metering element (11) comprises two, longitudinally extended metering channels (14, 15), which are interconnected in flow terms by means of a connecting channel (16), whereby the gas flow takes place from one of the metering channels (14) via the connecting channel (16) into the other metering channel (15).
Patent GB-2442848-A (GB)
Title: A MOS antenna transmit-receive switch with substrate switching for improved isolation
Inventor: LEE CHANG HO
IPC: H03K17/693
Filed: 2007-10-03
Abstract: The body (substrate) of the last cascaded MOS transistor 212 in the receiver switch branch 200 of a transmit-receive switch is earthed by an MOS switch 205 during transmission in order to improve isolation. Shorting the body to earth reduces source to drain coupling. Further, the negative excursion of the source of MOSFET 212 is limited to the source-body junction diode voltage, which prevents channel formation in 212. During reception the body is allowed to float, which reduces insertion loss. The T-R switch may be dual band (e.g. 900MHz and 1.8 GHz) and may be integrated into a CMOS IC. The receiver circuit may be protected by a clamp 206. The insertion loss of the transmit switches is reduced by allowing the substrates of the cascaded transmit switch transistors to float (figure 6).

Title: Fractional sampling of electrical energy
Inventor: HOLDSCLAW SCOTT T
IPC: G01R13/34
Filed: 2008-11-07
Abstract: A novel method and device for measuring electrical parameters in an energy meter in an electrical system is described. The novel method samples an electrical energy signal and determines a relevant portion of the sampled electrical energy signal. The relevant portion of the electrical energy signal is then separately multiplied by a first and second reference waveform. The relevant portion may be reflective of a particular line cycle at a particular frequency of interest. In addition, other samples in the line cycle may be accumulated. The samples whose portions may be determined may be the first and/or last signal, while other sampled signals may be evaluated in whole.

Title: Explosives
IPC: C06B21/00
Filed: 1944-06-25
Abstract: 593,793. Explosives. WILLIAMS, W. P. (Western Cartridge Co.). May 25, 1944, No, 10171. [Class 9 (ii)] Spherical grains of smokeless propellent powder are produced by (a) agitating and working up a mixture comprising a smokeless propellent powder base, a liquid which is not a solvent for the base, and a solvent for the base, the solvent being substantially immiscible with the non-solvent, at a temperature of at least 65‹ C., without removal of solvent, to produce a suspension of fluid globules of base solution or lacquer, (b) setting the resultant suspended globules without increasing the temperature of the suspension, and (c) distilling solvent from the mixture. The amount of solvent used is insufficient to produce, at a temperature substantially below 65‹ C., a base solution or lacquer workable to the extent necessary. Preferably the agitation and working up are effected in a sealed vessel under superatmospheric pressure and at a temperature above the boiling-point of the mixture, in which case the globules are set by reducing the pressure on the mixture. This may be done by venting the sealed vessel while maintaining the heat (which results in evaporation of solvent from the formed globules) and/or by cooling the mixture (which results in freezing the formed globules). Remaining solvent is finally removed by distillation. The smokeless powder base may be incompletely purified and unstable starting material or stabilized material, e.g. fibrous nitrocellulose, colloided nitrocellulose or colloided nitrocellulose-nitroglycerine powder. The solvent may be acetates, ketones or ethyl formate, and the non-solvent may be water, solvent naphtha or carbon tetrachloride. The average grain size may be decreased as described in Specification 473,057. Two detailed examples are given.

Title: An electrical system including a ceramic body
IPC: H03H5/00
Filed: 1949-04-14
Abstract: 661,056. Impedance networks. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. April 14th, 1949 [April 29, 1948], No. 10196/49. Class 40 (viii) A network comprises one or more inductances and a body coupled thereto which consists entirely of ceramic material having a very high dielectric constant, the body being insulated from the ground and adjacent conductors, and shaped to have an electrical resonant frequency at an operating frequency of the system. As shown, a block 23 of the ceramic material may be mounted between two inductances 13 and 19 which are to be coupled. The block behaves as if it were a resonant circuit coupled to the two inductances. If its diameter and length are different its resonance frequency will vary according to which dimension lies along the line connecting the two inductances, and the block can be used to couple two pairs of inductances at different frequencies, the pairs being disposed along axes at right-angles. Further, the single block may be replaced by a chain of ceramic blocks. Also a movable conductive plate 89 may be placed close to one face of the block to adjust its resonant frequency. The block may be composed of barium and strontium titanates.

Title: Improvements in or relating to compression type refrigerating systems
IPC: F25B39/04
Filed: 1943-06-25
Abstract: 566,131. Refrigerating. PRESSED STEEL CO., Ltd., ROWLEDGE, E. G., and NOLCKEN, W. G. June 25, 1943, No. 10262. [Class 29] Compression systems.-A divided condenser is employed, the parts 15, 16 in series being at slightly different temperatures so that the bulk of the lubricating oil is separated in the receiver 17 and led with the condensate to an expansion valve 21 of a higher temperature evaporator 19, whereas the remaining refrigerant, substantially oil free, passes from the last part 16 of the condenser to the expansion valve 23 of the low temperature evaporator 25. By this arrangement the tendency for wax to be deposited from the oil at the low temperature expansion valve is avoided. The invention is applicable especially to the systems of Specifications 534,452 and 552,487. The higher temperature evaporator is shown as a precooler for condensate from the last condenser part ; it may, however, be used for other purposes such as cooling a storage space separate from that of 'the lower temperature evaporator or for cooling the insulation of a storage chamber. The system may comprise low and high stage compressors 11, 12 and an oil separator 13, and the vapour from the higher temperature evaporator may be led to the conduit 32 connecting the compressors. Air and foreign gases are vented at a manual or other valve 101 from the precooler vessel 20 or other part of the system between the last condenser stage and the expansion valve 23..The condenser stages may be cooled by air or water, the last stage being contacted first by the air or water which then passes over the next stage.
