Title: Process for preparation of filamentary articles from polymer latexes
IPC: D01F6/10
Filed: 1957-09-13
Abstract: Continuous filamentary articles are made from latexes of synthetic organic, film-forming, normally crystalline high polymers capable of being obtained in a super-cooled amorphous state and of being oriented, said latexes being coagulable by aqueous solutions of electrolytes, by forming a continuous, coherent, self-supporting strip of coagulated latex by continuously wetting a travelling solid surface such as the peripheral surface of a rotating roll, or the upper surface of a travelling endless belt, with an aqueous solution of an electrolyte coagulant and then depositing thereon a thin narrow stream of latex, continuously stripping the strip of latex from the travelling solid surface, washing the strip free from coagulant, drying the strip under such conditions that its porous structure is not altered, forwarding the strip without applied tension through a radiantly heated zone maintained at a temperature sufficient to sinter and curl the strip and for a time sufficient to form a continuous filamentary article curled about its longitudinal axis, super-cooling the article, and finally orienting it by stretching. The latex should preferably contain about 30-50 per cent by weight of the polymer and the majority of the latex particles should preferably have diameters in the range of about 700-2000 Angstrom units.  In the example, a continuous coherent coagulum is prepared by metering a polymer latex containing 33 per cent by weight of a dispersed 97/3 w./w. vinylidene chloride/acrylonitrile copolymer on to a ceramic roll wetted with a 20 per cent aqueous calcium chloride solution. The coagulum is stripped continuously from the roll, washed with water to remove from it all the calcium chloride and dried by passage over a heated drum.  The coagulum is then fed at a uniform rate of 20 feet per minute through a zone heated by two 100-watt per inch radiant heaters placed 0.75 inch from either side of the coagulum. The resulting filamentary article curled about its long axis is then passed around a chilled roll and finally between two pairs of snubbing rolls so as to impart a 4 : 1 stretch to the article.

Title: Interlaced readout of a charge coupled array
IPC: H04N5/353
Filed: 1975-07-09
Abstract: 1503820 Television RCA CORPORATION 9 July 1975 [25 July 1974] 28883/75 Heading H4F In a charge coupled image pick-up device including a photosensing array, a temporary storage array and an output register, vertical and/or horizontal interlacing of the resulting charge patterns is achieved by controlling the operation of each column of charge coupled stages in the photosensing array, or the row of charge coupled stages in the output register, wherein each of these stages have more than one region, e.g. two regions, at which charge can be stored and the charge is accumulated at each region of each stage during two periods (i.e. field periods for vertical interlacing in the columns of stages in the photosensing array, and line periods for horizontal interlacing in the row of stages comprising the output register) and after the first period charge accumulated at one region of each stage is combined with the charge accumulated at an adjacent region of the same stage and then the combined charge shifted out of the columns or row, and after the second period charge accumulated at one region of each stage is combined with the charge accumulated at an adjacent region of an adjacent stage and then the combined charge shifted out of the columns or row. The tendency for blooming to occur is lessened by holding the voltage of the aluminium electrodes of each region of each stage at such a value that majority carriers accumulate in the substrate, so that if intense radiation occurs then some of the minority carriers which would otherwise tend to overflow to an adjacent potential well will start recombining with the majority carriers in the accumulation regions beneath the aluminium gates (Fig. 10, not shown).

Abstract: 394,207. Sliver-balling apparatus. ROSE, G. F., 8, Clive Row, Calcutta, and PATERSON, H., Cheviot Jute Mills, Budge Budge, Bengal, both in India. Oct. 20, 1932, No. 29386. [Class 120 (i).] In sliver-balling apparatus comprising arms B<1> carrying disc plates A<1> between which the ball is wound on two axially retractable bosses A, Figs. 2 and 4, projecting inwardly through the plates, and a brake drum F<1> operatively connected with the arms B<1> so as to be rotated by upward movement thereof as the ball is wound, a tripping mechanism is provided to release automatically the action of the brake band when the ball is completed for a period until the ball has been ejected and the arms have almost reached their lowest position when the brake is re-applied to check the downward movement. The bosses A rotate in bearings on subsidiary levers B independently of the disc plates A<1>, and are drawn apart by outward movement of the levers B when the ball is to be discharged. As the ball is being wound, it raises the arms B<1> and turns the brake pulley F<1> through the quadrant P<1> and pinion P<11>. A cam F on the brake pulley F<1> is set to release the brake through the lever E, E<11>, Fig. 12, and thus allow the arms B<1> to drop when the ball is ejected on withdrawal of the bosses A. A pad H on the brake pulley F<1> re-engages the brake band F<11> on the pulley F<1> when the arms B<1> are nearly at their lowest position so as tc damp their fall. Another cam L on the pulley F<1> pushes back the spring K, Fig. 11, and allows the spring O to rotate the shaft N to bring the ends of the levers C into the path of cams or swells D on the driving pulley D<1> whereby they are pushed apart, thus operating the levers B and withdrawing the bosses A. The ball drops out as the arms B<1> fall, and when the arms B<1> drop a pin P on a quadrant P<1> pushes the levers C back to the off position. When the arms B<1> are nearly at their lowest position the levers B are engaged by brackets or horns R and pushed inwards to carry the bosses A back to the working position.

Abstract: 654,559. Electric tests and measurements. FILTRATORS, Ltd., and STREATFIELD, E. L. Nov. 15, 1948, No. 29578. [Class 37] [Also in Group I] Apparatus for treating water by causing it to flow through a bed in which its chemical condition is changed, includes means for withdrawing samples of water from a point in the bed past which the water flows appreciably before it leaves the bed, means for withdrawing further samples of water from a second point at which the water has passed a further distance through or completely through the bed, and apparatus arranged to be acted upon by the samples and responsive to variations in their relative chemical condition due to partial exhaustion of the bed resulting in incomplete treatment of the sample taken from the point past which the water flows first. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a chamber A contains abed B of cation-exchanging material such as a carbonaceous zeolite, supported on an inactive bed C of gravel or the like. Porous sampling pots E are arranged within the bed B above the outlet end, and similar pots F are arranged within the bed C. Water from the pots E flows through a pipe E<SP>2</SP> to a conductivity cell G, and water from the pots F flows through a pipe F<SP>2</SP> to a conductivity cell H. The cells G, H are arranged in a Wheatstone bridge circuit supplied from a source A<SP>3</SP> of alternating current and including resistances K, K<SP>1</SP> and an ammeter L. While the water flowing through the two cells is of the same conductivity the ammeter L gives a zero reading, but when the bed A is nearing exhaustion the cells will have a difference in conductivity and the ammeter reading will indicate a need for regeneration. Means may be provided so that the water reaching the cell H at any moment came from substantially the same portion of the water flowing through the chamber A as the water flowing at the same moment through the cell G. The apparatus may include a relay operated automatically, when the Wheatstone bridge circuit becomes unbalanced to a predetermined degree, to bring into operation apparatus for regenerating the bed B. The relay may be of a delayed-action type, inoperative on the occurrence of a mere transient unbalancing of the bridge circuit. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the pipes E<SP>2</SP>, F2 deliver water, respectively, through two cells M and N for pH measurement. The cells are of the type containing a calomel reference electrode and a " glass " electrode. The electrodes are connected to apparatus O which may include thermionic amplifying apparatus, an indicator O<SP>1</SP> positioned in accordance with the relative values of the E.M.F. generated by the cells, and a relay switch or the like controlling a circuit through conductors P, whereby regenerating apparatus is brought into operation on a predetermined difference occurring in the values of the E.M.F. generated by the cells.
