Abstract: 1,201,902. Electrophoretic coating. PRESSED STEEL FISHER Ltd. Oct.17, 1967 [Aug. 17, 1966] No.36838/66. Heading C7B. One or more coats are applied to a metal article by immersing the article to be coated in an aqueous coating medium which includes a film forming material and particles of an additive encapsulated in a water impervious substance inert to the medium and capable of dissipation and deposition, electro-depositing the film forming material with the encapsulated additive, and then dissipating the substance e.g. by heating or chemical action. The substance is preferably a further film-forming material such as polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride or acetate. The additive may comprise particles of an electrically conductive material e.g. Zn, a pigment or corrosion inhibitor e.g. ZnCrO4 or SrCrO4. Dissipating the substance by heat to release the additive may also effect stoving of the film-forming material in the coating medium.

Title: Improvements in signal gating circuit arrangements

IPC: G11B15/14
Filed: 1959-11-03
Abstract: 902,771. Switching magnetic playback heads; television. BUSH & RANK CINTEL Ltd. Nov. 3, 1960 [Nov. 3, 1959], No. 37247/59. Class 40 (2). [Also in Groups XL (b) and XL (c)] Playback heads, scanning a signal recorded as successive transverse tracks on a magnetic tape, have their outputs switched successively into a common channel by a gating circuit in which a control signal is prevented from opening head gates in the absence of outputs from the respective heads. In Fig. 2, the heads 21-24 are connected to individual gates 29-32, the outputs of which are connected to a common terminal 33. When the first head 21 encounters a signal, the signal is rectified by rectifier 34 to provide a control signal which opens gate 29 to connect the first channel to the output. When the second head 22 encounters a signal a control signal is developed by rectifier 35 which closes gate 29 and opens gate 30, connecting the second channel to the output. In a modification of the arrangement of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 (not shown), in which the recorded signals are television signals, the rectifiers open further gates which allow a pulse generator to switch the signal gates during pulse blanking intervals. The rectifier circuits are arranged to respond to the carrier upon which the recorded signals are frequency modulated.
