Abstract: 1,213,754. Selective punching devices. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 14 July, 1969 [22 July, 1968], No. 35302/69. Heading B4B. [Also in Division H1] An electro-mechanical actuator for a record card punching machine comprises a punch 17 adapted to be engaged by the free end of a resilient interposer 39 when the latter is reciprocated by an eccentric 47, and electromagnetic means 52, 53 selectively operable to move the free end into and out of the engaging position. The punch 17 is provided with a member 20 slidable in a guide 18 and having a projection 22 for engagement with a restore bail 37 and a stop-and-guide member 30; as shown punches 17, in two rows, are each provided with an actuator. The interposer 39 is connected to a member 40 secured to a housing 45 which is actuated by the eccentric 47. The member 40 is attached to a bail plate 35 to which is pivoted a link 49 adapted to be engaged by a push-rod 52a connected to the armature 52 of the electromagnet 52, 53; the push-rod may be of plastics material and is formed with a flexible portion 52b in order to permit the oscillating motion of the armature to be converted to reciprocating motion of the push-rod. In operation a card 10, Fig. 1, is incrementally fed by rollers 11, 12, 13, 14 over a die 19 and upon energization of the electromagnet the interposer 39 is brought into alignment with the punch so that when the eccentric rotates, a hole is punched in the card. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the interposer is formed with a crook-shaped cam 41 for receiving a member 61 secured to the armature 52 of the electromagnet 50. The armature is normally held in a raised position by a holding coil 70 so that the member 61 abuts the lower end of the punch 17 thereby preventing its engagement by the end of the interposer. When a second release coil 53 is energized the armature drops so that member 61 is moved away from the end of the punch so allowing it to be engaged by the interposer (Fig. 5a, not shown). In further modifications (Figs. 7 and 8), the holding coil 70 is dispensed with and the punch may be inverted relative to the magnet.

Patent GB-811627-A (GB)
Title: Process and apparatus for the continuous separation of gas mixtures by means of gas chromatography
IPC: G01N30/58
Filed: 1957-11-13
Abstract: In the separation of gaseous mixtures by the chromatographic method there is used a series of vertical absorbent columns rotatably mounted on a circular base provided with two chambers with which the columns may be brought into communication in succession, and also provided with a receiving head comprising a number of chambers to draw off the carrier gas, and components separately.  One chamber at the base is supplied continuously with the carrier gas, and the other with the gas mixture to be separated.  The sizes of the receiving and base chambers are co-ordinated with the separating capacity of each column so that the cycle of operations in each column is completed at each revolution of the battery of columns.  For example, a circular tower of separating columns makes one complete revolution in 7 minutes, during which the inert gas and the slower moving component emerges at the top and is removed, followed by inert gas alone, and finally inert gas and the slower component.  These gas mixtures are separately collected in the receiving chambers as each column is brought into communication therewith in turn.  The initial charging and flow of first separated component may take up to several minutes, when only inert gas will appear at the exit to the column, for example, when CO2 is used as carrier gas. The process may be applied to multi-component mixtures by arranging a suitable number of receiving chambers for the separated components, each alternating with a receiving chamber for the carrier gas.  In the case of difficultly condensible gases, absorbents such as activated carbon, silica gel or aluminium oxide are used, otherwise kieselguhr, or glass powder impregnated with a low vapour pressure liquid, e.g. a hydrocarbon oil, alcohol or a silicone oil is used.
