Title: Solid state glass electrode and method of making same
IPC: G01N27/36
Filed: 1970-09-18
Abstract: 1,260,065. Electro-chemical analysis. BECKMAN INSTRUMENTS Inc. Sept. 18, 1970 [Oct. 14, 1969], No.44615/70. Heading G1N. A solid-state ion-sensitive glass electrode comprises a metal conductor made of or coated with an electro-chemically active metal at one end, covered by a first layer of glass mixed with a salt of the metal and a second layer of ionsensitive glass. The active metal may be copper, silver, cobalt or cadmium; the salt a chloride, bromide or iodide, and the first layer glass insulating or ionsensitive. In a preferred arrangement, Fig. 2 (not shown), the conductor is a platinum wire (which is easily sealed in a glass insulating tube) and the tip is copper plated. Copper chloride is mixed with ionsensitive glass for the first layer. COMBINATION GLASS/REFERENCE ELECTRODE is formed by enclosing the glass insulated stem 52 of the solid-state glass electrode in a tube 59 containing an electrolyte and a silver/silverchloride wire 62. A leak structure is formed by an extension 66 at the bottom of tube 59 holding strands 70 of asbestos or glass fibre around the stem of the glass electrode.

Abstract: 1302684 Cadmium sulphide INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 21 Sept 1970 [1 Oct 1969] 44810/70 Heading C1A Crystals of, or containing cadmium sulphide are prepared by heating in an open or closed vessel material containing alkali metal sulphide or alkali metal polysulphide together with cadmium or a compound (e.g. carbonate, oxide sulphide or halide) or an alloy, e.g. Cd-Ph thereof to a temperature at which a fluid phase occurs, producing a supersaturation of the solution for precipitation of the crystals or crystallites and separating these from the solution. The supersaturation may be produced by cooling, or evaporating the solvent, by salting out or by establishing a temperature gradient within the solution. The crystals or crystallites may be separated from the molten solvent by decanting, filtering or by dissolving the alkali metal sulphides in water, alcohol or some other polar solvent, seed crystals, e.g. ZnS, CdS, GaAs, may be used in the solution to initiate epitaxial growth and particle sizes are given for the CdS produced by this method. Doping by sodium may be achieved by using Na 2 S as the solvent and by copper if it is dissolved in the solution. The preparation of mixed CdS-ZnS crystals from cadmium and zinc are given in the Specification.

Title: Cheque preparing apparatus
IPC: B41J3/36
Filed: 1974-10-16
Abstract: 1483112 Printers J ST CLAIR KILBY 16 Oct 1974 [19 Oct 1973] 44830/74 Heading G4H [Also in Division B6] The invention is cheque-printing apparatus. As disclosed, the apparatus is pocket-sized and consists of a cover hinged to a base, the base incorporating a replaceable cheque pack unit held in position by a tongue-and-groove coupling and a latch. The cheque pack unit includes a stub sheet (i.e. a sheet performing the functions of the stubs in a conventional cheque book), a pack of cheque forms and a camera battery to power the apparatus. The upper surface of the cheque pack unit includes three slots, one for printing on, viewing and advancing the stub sheet, one for printing on the top cheque form of the pack and one for contacting the top cheque form to eject it from the apparatus. The apparatus can be opened out along the hinge to expose (on the inside of the cover) keyboards and a display and (on the inside of the base) a window through which part of the stub sheet can be viewed and a manual slide for moving two fingers (93, 94, Fig. 4, not shown) to respectively advance the stub sheet vertically (using sprocket holes therein) and eject the top cheque form laterally (by friction). The cover of the apparatus incorporates a conventional calculator and two stores, one to hold information entered from the keyboards and the other to hold the account balance, a revised balance being calculated by the calculator. The base includes two thermal dot-matrix print heads (51, 52, Fig. 4, not shown) (to print on the stub sheet and cheque form respectively) each print head having a column of thermal elements (transistors, resistors or lossy diodes), the two print heads being mounted on respective U- shaped springs to a common closed-loop bead chain (50). The chain is driven in one direction by a first electromagnetically actuated pawl and sprocket arrangement (57) so that the first print head can print the keyboard information and revised balance on the stub sheet and to return the second print head, then if a "print cheque" key on one of the keyboards is actuated, the chain is driven in the opposite direction by a second electromagnetically actuated pawl and ratchet arrangement (58) so that the second print head can print on the cheque and to return the first print head. The manual slide can then be used to eject the cheque, &c. A new stored balance may be entered using the keyboards. Printing of a cheque which would overdraw the account may be prevented. Keyboard-entry of a new balance may be only possible by bank personnel.
