Title: Improvements relating to vehicle door fastenings
IPC: E05B65/20
Filed: 1938-12-07
Abstract: 522,380. Vehicle door fastenings. WILMOTBREEDEN, Ltd., and SMYE, A. Dec. 7, 1938, No. 35659. [Class 44] The fastening of a motor car door a is released by depression of a handle f pivoted at h and housed in a frame member m mounted in a recess in the lower horizontal edge of the window opening e so that handle and frame are substantially flush therewith. As shown, member f is of sheet metal bent to channel section, the depending side limbs g of which have extensions to receive the pivot h and a pivoted connection i of a link by which release movement is transmitted to the latch operating member c. Member f is held in the normal raised position by a spring which may be the spring of the latch. When member f is depressed, the inner wall of frame m provides a finger purchase by which the door may be opened, and this wall may be shaped to present a suitable surface to the finger ends. Alternatively, member may be slidably mounted.

Abstract: 621,976. Vulcanizing tyres. COHEN, L. H. Dec. 2, 1946, No. 35692. Convention date, Aug. 30. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Feb. 14, 1948.] [Class 87 (ii)] Tyres are vulcanized in an apparatus comprising an annular heating chamber 1 with tread forming elements 8 on the interior surface divided circumferentially into segments spaced apart to allow air to escape. The segments may have inwardly directed sides to prevent escape of the tread rubber being moulded or these sides 9 may be sloped outwardly and cooperate with coned rings 13. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes a clamping device in which a number of these apparatus may be clamped together and comprising two discs 15, 20, Fig. 7 (Cancelled), adapted to be drawn together by a screwed rod 17. The tread forming elements 26 are clamped in position by screws 29 in strips 27 clamped to the rings 15, 20. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 482,534. Protective cut-out arrangements. WESTAWAY, C. Dec. 30, 1936, No. 35733. [Class 38 (v)] A number of low-voltage load circuits as 4, tapped off a high-voltage line 2 having an instantaneous overload circuitbreaker 3, each supply a load 5, comprising, for example, incandescent lamps the " cold " resistance of which is relatively low, over a contactor 8 the coil 9 of which is in series with contacts 10 of a no-volt relay 11. On failure of the main supply, all the coils 11 open their contactors 8, but since, on restoration of the voltage and consequent simultaneous reclosure of contactors 8, the resulting current might again trip the breaker 3, the re-application of load is rendered gradual by causing the contacts 10 to reclose with different time-lags. The arrangement may be adapted to the cutting-out of currentlimiting impedances, as described in Specification 481,922.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the preparation of adrenocorticotrophin
IPC: A61K38/35
Filed: 1956-11-23
Abstract: A process for preparing adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) from a mammalian blood substance such as whole blood, plasma, serum, defibrinated blood and especially beef plasma or serum comprises treating it with an ACTH-activating agent such as pyridoxine preferably by incubating at a temperature from 15 DEG  to 150 DEG  C., the preferred range being 90 DEG  to 100 DEG  C., at a pH of 3.5 to 5.5, preferably 4.7 or 4.8, the pH being obtained by agents such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer.  An organic reducing agent containing at least one sulphydryl group such as cysteine, beta-mercapto-ethanol, thioglycollic acid may be added to stabilize the ACTH.  The ACTH activity may be generated in the blood substance by the treatment with the agent and the ACTH then extracted in the usual ways or a pro-ACTH substance may be extracted which is then treated with the agent.  Specification 739,024 is referred to.

Abstract: 1436303 Measuring angular displacements electrically BENDIX CORP 16 Aug 1974 [7 Sept 1973] 36209/74 Heading G1N The angular position of a shaft is measured by a synchro resolver whose sine and cosine output signals are formed as ratios with respect to the energizing voltage, thus eliminating errors due to voltage fluctuations, &c. As shown, Fig. 1, a heading sensor 2 is connected to a synchro resolver 3 to produce the sine component voltage V s  in winding 7 and the cosine component voltage V c  in orthogonal winding 9. These voltages are combined in a network 18 and rectified to produce a D.C. voltage V m , and each is also separately rectified and compared with V m  to produce a pulse train whose mark duration is proportional to the ratio V S /V M  or V C /V M  respectively and is measured by gating clockpulses.

Title: Hydraulic transmission
IPC: F16H61/44
Filed: 1955-12-19
Abstract: 802,824. Hydraulic transmission of power. NEW YORK AIR BRAKE CO. Dec. 19, 1955 [Dec. 24, 1954], No. 36302/55. Class 69 (2). An hydraulic transmission for a vehicle comprises pumps 11, 12 connected in parallel through an open-centre control valve 63 to a motor 17, and a valve 16 which automatically by-passes the output of the pump 12 if the pressure in the supply line rises above a predetermined value. The pumps 11, 12 draw liquid from a sump 13 and deliver to a valve unit 14. When the pumps are idling, plungers 19, 21 are spring- urged to the position shown and the pumps discharge past needle valves 28 to the sump. When the pumps are driven faster the pressure upstream of the needle valves moves the plungers 19, 21 towards each other so that pump 11 discharges through ports 29 in the plunger 19 and a groove 24 to an inlet chamber 57 of the control valve 63, and pump 12 supplies liquid through a groove 27 to the valve 16. If the load on the motor is not excessive, a plunger 39 is urged by a spring 54 to the position shown in which liquid passes through a bore in the plunger, past a check valve 45 and through ports 50 to the inlet chamber of the valve 63. Movement of the valve 63 to either side of the position shown closes a connection between the chamber 57 and the sump, and the motor 17 is driven in the appropriate direction. The pressure in chamber 57 acts on the plunger 39 and also on a plunger 41 of smaller cross section. If the load on the motor becomes excessive the increased pressure in chamber 57 moves the plungers to the right against the pressure of spring 54, thereby obstructing ports 50 and opening ports 49 to the sump to unload the pump 12. Pump 11 continues to operate the motor. The maximum pressure obtainable is limited by a relief valve 62. When valve 63 is in its central position both sides of the motor are connected to the sump, as well as the chamber 57. If the vehicle is coasting down-hill and the motor is driven faster than the pumps, liquid is drawn from the sump through a non-return valve 58 to prevent cavitation. The needle valves 28 may be adjusted so that pump 11 is loaded before pump 12. In a modification of the valve unit 14 the needle valves are dispensed with, and ports in plungers corresponding to the plungers 19, 21, co-operate with ports in the housing leading to the sump to throttle the liquid flow. Adjustable stops limit the positions of the plungers in their unloaded positions so that the throttling apertures may be adjusted.
