As shown each end member 6 or 7 is provided with saw-tooth profiled surfaces by which the individual plates 5 in adjacent elements are positioned and supported, the plates being formed with similar bevelled edges 5a so as to fit into the individual teeth of the members 6 and 7. The narrow gap or space between adjacent plates 5 permits expansion and slight bowing to take place. The plates 5 may be enclosed by the horizontal and vertical end members 6 and 7 to form a completely boxed in element 4. The furnace ceiling lining 3 may be built up in a siilar manner to the wall lining, the vertical end members 7a being formed with upward extensions in which holes 13 are bored so that a suspension arrangement may be fastened to it by which the lining 3 is secured to the furnace superstructure 1. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 7, not shown), toothed strips (14) are used instead of the rectangular planar end members to position and support the plates 5, said strips being received in cut-out slots (15) the bottoms of which are sawtooth to correspond to the strips. The plates 5 may be curved instead of planar and the elements 4 end members may be of wedgeshaped to provide arched or vaulted walls. The plates 5 may be coated with an appropriate binder, e.g. iron oxide sludge or hot tar, providing under heat firm bonding of the plate material thus preventing deterioration of said plate material.

Title: Improvements in electrical apparatus
IPC: G01L1/08
Filed: 1949-11-28
Abstract: 671,083. Electric measuring systems. DION, G. H. Nov. 28, 1949. [Dec. 10, 1948] No. 30496/49. Class 40 (i). A force, or a variable such as pressure or temperature that may be translated into a corresponding force, is measured by balancing it against a force produced electromagnetically, the two forces acting in opposite senses on a contact device in the electromagnet circuit so that the contact dithers and the mean average current flow through the electromagnet is a measure of the force. As shown, Fig. 1 the force to be measured is applied to a pot-magnet moving coil B in a sense to close a contact device G. Closure of the contact unblocks the valve T the resultant anode current flow through the moving coil B lifting the coil to break the contact. The contact therefore dithers and the mean anode current measured by an ammeter A indicates the force. The valve T may be dispensed with, the contact G being connected directly in series with the moving coil B the ammeter A and a battery. In this case, the contact G is preferably housed in a vacuum. The moving coil B may, alternatively, co-operate with an electromagnet which may be connected in series with the moving coil, the mean current flow in this case being proportional to #force. For measuring pressure, Fig. 3, the movable element comprises a magnetic armature 3 secured to an elastic diaphragm 4, the opposite sides of which are subjected to the two gas pressures supplied at 10, 11 whose pressure difference is to be measured. As in Fig. 1, the average of the intermittent current produced in the coil 6 by the dithering contact device 8, 9 measures the pressure difference. For measuring temperature a constant mass of a gas, e.g. Hydrogen, subjected to the temperature may produce a corresponding pressure, Fig. 4 (not shown) which is measured as in Fig. 3. A mechanical force to be measured, Fig. 5 (not shown), may be applied hydraulically to the upper side of the diaphragm and measured as in Fig. 3. Torque may be measured by arranging the armature to rotate instead of moving rectilinearly. In another embodiment, for current regulation or amplification, Fig. 6, the current in the coil 6 is regulated by adjusting the iron circuit (by the screwed arrangement shown) of a magnet 21 which produces the force on the armature 3 opposing that produced by the coil 6. The magnet 21 may be replaced by an electromagnet in which case by adjustment of the relative number of turns of the two electric magnets D.C. amplification may be obtained.

Abstract: 1,210,583. Colour signal demodulator. TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc. 26 June, 1968, No. 30546/68. Heading H4F. A colour signal demodulator for use in a colour television receiver, for demodulating a signal including a subcarrier whose phase represents hue and whose amplitude represents saturation and which includes a colour burst signal for each raster line and horizontal synchronizing pulses, comprises pulse controlled gates Q14-Q16 for repeatedly sampling the subcarrier at each of a plurality of different preselected phase angles determined with respect to a phase reference signal initiated by and phase synchronized with the colour burst signal to provide a respective colour signal for each of the phase angles. The circuit comprises a bi-stable circuit Q2, Q3, controlled by the colour burst signal from terminal 11 and the horizontal synchronizing pulses from terminal 17. The output from this bi-stable circuit is fed via gate circuit 18 together with a phase reference signal continuously applied to terminal 19 to transistor Q4 which produces a gated square wave, V, Fig. 3 (not shown), having the same frequency and substantially the same phase as the sine wave phase reference signal. This square waveform is applied to two delay circuits Q5 and Q6 so that three signals, V, VI and VIII, Fig. 3 (not shown), are obtained which are identical except in respect to phase. When these three signals are applied to the pulse forming circuits 24, 25 and 26 the switching elements therein produce short pulses, of period less than <SP>1</SP>/ 10  that of the phase reference signal, corresponding to the overlap between the signals V, VI and VIII. The pulses produced by circuits 24, 25 and 26 are used to switch transistors Q14, Q15 and Q16 which take amplitude samples of the colour subcarrier at the respective phase angles which correspond to predetermined hues to give colour signals.

Abstract: 1,241,713. Cameras. HATTORI TOKEITEN K.K. June 18, 1969 [June 19, 1968], No.30881/69. Heading G2A. Return of shutter release 2 by a spring 5 after an exposure retensions the shutter. Light incident on a photo-electric element 64 determines whether or not release 2 may be fully depressed to effect an exposure and also the duration of the exposure. Low illumination. Depression of release 2 closes contacts 9a and 51. If the resistance of photo-triode 64 is greater than resistor 67, transistors 61, 62 switch on an electromagnet 63 which holds a lever 30 and thus a cam 29 and a lever 40. End 40b of lever 40 blocks lever 8, thus preventing full depression of release 2. High illumination. If the resistance of 64 is less than 67, electromagnet 63 is not energized. Release 2 depresses lever 8 releasing cam 29 which pushes past lever 36 rotating the latter anticlockwise. Further depression of release 2 closes contacts 9c, 53, short circuiting resistor 62 and thus energizing electromagnet 63 to hold lever 36 and thus cam 29. Lever 40 has now moved out of the path of lever 8 allowing complete depression of release 2. Shutter operation. Projection 2b or release 2 depresses a pawl 7, releasing a lever 6 which rotates clockwise followed by a gear 12 whose movement is slowed by gears 23, 24 and anchor 25. Movement of gear 12 away from a pin 22 allows a lever 21 to rotate followed by a pin 28 which drives shutter ring 27 to open blades 26. Thus movement of lever 6 causes a pin 14 thereon to open contacts 54, 55 whereby a capacitor 65 is charged, through element 64, until it reaches a predetermined voltage. Then transistors 61, 62 switch off electromagnet 63, lever 36 is released and thus cam 29 may rotate so that a pin 30 thereon pushes end 21b of lever 21 to close the shutter through pin 28. Return of release 2 moves all the components back to their original positions.
