Title: Treatment of surfaces to produce level electrodeposits
IPC: C25D5/34
Filed: 1964-12-23
Abstract: Smooth continuous electroplated metal (e.g. Ni, Cu or Cr) is produced on a basis metal (e.g. Fe, cast iron or steel) having surface cavities less than 0.15 mm in width by a) degassing the basis metal, e.g. by heating, b) grit blasting the surface to be plated thereby forming a saturated matte finish surface, the degassing step a) preceding or succeeding the grit blasting step b), c) applying a hardenable polyester resin, d) hardening the resin, e) grinding or otherwise abrading the hardened resin coating and the saturated matte finish surface to a smooth level surface in which substantially all of the remaining hardened polyester resin is present in cavities having a width of less than 0.15 mm, the remaining resin constituting less than 1% of the area of the smooth level surface, and f) electroplating a metal plate over the smooth level surface.  Prior to blasting, the basis metal may be electroplated with a deposit of Cr 0.02 to 0.1 mm thick using a bath containing chromic acid and sulphate ions.  A Cu-Ni undercoat beneath this Cr may be employed. After degassing, the metal may be degreased with CCl4, benzene, trichloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene.  The polyester resin may be saturated or unsaturated and in the latter case may contain monomers which form cross-links.  Many examples of resins are given. Typically the final electroplating may be of Cr from a bath containing 250 g/l chromic acid 2.5 g/l sulphate ion at 30-50 DEG C. and using a current density of 15-50 amps/sq.dm. for 3 hours to produce Cr 0.07 mm thick.  A specific example is of electroplating a cast iron roll with Cr.

Title: Electromagnetic wave control arrangement
Inventor: SMITH FREDERICK WARREN
IPC: H01P1/23
Filed: 1967-11-17
Abstract: 1,135,010. Modulators. MULLARD Ltd. 17 Nov., 1967, No. 52474/67. Heading H3R. [Also in Division H1] A modulator comprises a ferri-magnetic body disposed in a bias magnetic field such that a resonance frequency is near or equal to that of a carrier frequency propagated in a transmission line, the body being located so that it couples with the magnetic field of the carrier and an electric signal lead being disposed near the body so that current through the lead will introduce a control magnetic field in the direction of the bias field. In Fig. 4 an yttrium iron garnet sphere 2 is arranged a quarter of the way across a rectangular waveguide, where the magnetic field of the carrier is circularly polarized, and is subject to a bias field perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. The control field is supplied by current flowing in the wires 4 which at one end are connected to the inner conductor 6 of a coaxial cable (not shown) supplying the modulation and to the wall of the waveguide at 8, and at the other end are terminated by a matching impedance R which may be a distributed resistance card 9. The attenuation introduced by the sphere 2 to carrier waves travelling in one direction in the waveguide is a function of the control current. If the sphere is disposed in the centre of the waveguide where the carrier magnetic field is linearly polarized, it will attenuate carrier frequencies flowing in either direction in the guide but only half as much as in the arrangement shown. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the terminating resistance R is omitted, and in a further modification, Fig. 1 (not shown), a single control wire 4 is used. The modulation is generally amplitude modulation, but it may be non-linear yielding sidebands characteristic of phase or frequency modulation.

Title: An Extensible and Retractable Boom Construction
IPC: B66C13/18
Filed: 1968-11-11
Abstract: 1,192,879. Jib cranes. JEFFREY GALION Inc. 11 Nov., 1968 [5 Dec., 1967], No. 53415/68. Heading B8B. [Also in Divisions F1 and F2] Jib boom.-A crane boom 10, Fig. 1, with a counterweight 18 is supported on a turntable 12 and may be luffed by a lift cylinder 15. The boom 10 includes three telescopic sections 20, 30, 31, and double-acting hydraulic cylinders 32, 38 are respectively connected between the sections 20, 30 and the sections 30, 31. Hydraulic circuit.-Fig. 2 shows the hydraulic control system for the cylinders 32, 38. Fluid is supplied under pressure from a pump 50 to a manual valve 51 shown centred by return springs to return the fluid to tank 52. Operation of the valve 51 connects the fluid supply via a line 53 to a pressure compensated flow divider valve PC55 which proportionately divides the supply of fluid into two lines 56, 57. When the line 53 functions as a return line the flow divide valve 55 proportionately combines the return flow from lines 56, 57. The rates of extension and retraction of the second and third boom sections 30, 31 are commensurate with the predetermined proportional rates of flow of the pressure fluid thus supplied to, or received from, the cylinders 32, 38. The cylinders 32, 38 respectively have check valves 58, 61 and pilotoperated relief valves 65, 67. Relief valves 68, 69 allow both cylinders 32, 38 to complete their strokes should one or the other bottom first. Flow divider valve.-Fig. 3 shows the pressure compensated flow divider valve PC55, the left hand side being identical to the right hand side and comprising a spool 77 slidably received in a fixed sleeve 75 and loaded to the right by a spring 78. The spool 77 has orifices 79 communicating to valve port 72 to which line 53 is connected. Additionally the spool 77 has orifices 80 communicating with orifices 81 in the sleeve 75. The spools 77, 87 have claws 92, 93 engaged to link the spools mechanically. Spring 94 acts against the spools 77, 87 in opposite directions. As illustrated the flow divider valve 55 divides (or combines) the hydraulic fluid equally between (or from) the lines 56, 57. If the flow should, for example, tend to increase towards the line 56 the flow induced pressure drop across the spool 77 shifts it to the left, as shown restricting the flow through the orifices 80, 81 until equal rates of flow are again achieved. Similarly for the spool 87 and when the valve 55 is combining fluid from the lines 56, 57. As described the second and third boom sections 30, 31 are extended and retracted at the same time and at the same rates of movement. For boom sections of different lengths from each other the sections can be extended and retracted at the same time and at different rates proportional to their respective lengths.

A member 9 is fixed on the frame of a vehicle and has a latching edge 12 which is provided with a deflector-plate 10 having a rounded portion 11. Latching is effected when the bonnet 4 is moved from the full-line position shown in Fig. 1 to the chain-line position, the hook, having a curved edge 13, is guided into engagement with the latching edge 12. The bar 5 can now be manually operated to release the latching-portion 14 from the latching edge 12 and allow the bonnet to be fully opened. Re-latching is effected by closing the bonnet, a surface 15 of the hook engaging the portion 11 of the plate 10 and causing the portion 14 to engage the latching edge 12. Further movement of the bonnet effects locking thereof by means (not shown) and causes the hook and the bar 5 to return to the positions shown in full lines in Fig. 1. If the spring 2 fails, the projection 16, Fig. 3, facilitates re-latching of the bonnet 4 by striking the portion 11 of the plate 10 so as to guide the edge 13 of the hook into contact with the latching edge 12.
