Title: Method and apparatus for random dyeing of textile yarns
Inventor: ANDREW MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: D06B11/00
Filed: 1968-06-04
Abstract: 1,240,338. Dyeing yarns. ANDREW ENG. (NOTTINGHAM) Ltd. 2 Sept., 1969 [4 June, 1968], No. 26414/68. Heading D1C. Yarn is dyed in a random manner by the passage of the yarn in the form of a temporarily knitted fabric in taut condition past a spraying device comprising reciprocating nozzles on one or both sides of the fabric. The fabric may be in the form of a knitted tube which is flattened before spraying. Sprayed areas may overlap. More than one coloured dye may be employed. The nozzles 25 are mounted in a yoke 14 attached to a slideable shaft 15 having a dependent pin 8 engaged in a peripheral track of a wheel 19 inclined to its shaft 20, rotation of the wheel 19 causing the pin and hence the nozzles 25 to reciprocate in a horizontal direction. The dye liquor is forced out of containers 35 by compressed air from tubes 36 and is mixed with compressed air from tube 27 at the nozzles 25 to form a spray.

Abstract: Nitrocellulose compositions comprise 5-15 parts of nitrocellulose, 2-15 parts of castor oil, 2-10 parts of methyl cellusolve, and a mixture of ethanol and ethyl ether in such proportions as to bring the total amount of the composition up to 106 parts by weight.  An exemplified composition contains 10 parts of nitrocellulose, 5 parts of castor oil, 5 parts of methyl cellosolve and 86 parts of a mixture of ethanol and ethyl ether. This mixture consists of 47 parts of 95 per cent ethanol, 42 parts of ether and 11 parts of the vehicle or carrier with which the nitrocellulose was originally mixed, said vehicle consisting of ethanol or a 75/25 v/v ethanol-ether ether mixture.  The number of parts of castor oil in 106 parts of the composition is preferably 3-10, and up to 80 per cent of the castor oil may be replaced by camphor.  The compositions may also contain butyl, pentyl or hexyl acetate, ketones or the acetic acid ester of 2 methoxy ethanol. The compositions are for use as cosmetics for applying to the face to form a contractile film which alters the contour of the portion of the face to which the film has been applied.ALSO:Liquid cosmetic preparations, for forming a transparent colourless film for holding the skin in moulded contour, comprise 5-15 parts of nitrocellulose, 2-15 parts of castor oil, 2-10 parts of methyl cellosolve and a mixture of ethanol and ethyl ether in such proportions as to bring the total amount of the composition up to 106 parts by weight.

Patent GB-646278-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of germanium rectifier crystals
IPC: H01L21/00
Filed: 1948-10-14
Abstract: A crystal detector is composed of highly pure germanium into the surface of which silica has been introduced so that fracturing or etching the germanium is unnecessary.  The germanium may be melted and held molten at about 1100 DEG C in a silica receptacle in an oxygen-free atmosphere for about 20 hours, then gradually cooled down to 800 DEG C below the solidifying temperature so that parallel crystal formation is obtained and silica absorbed into the surface. Alternatively, a thin film of silica may be volatilized on to the germanium before melting and cooling.  Alternatively, a flat disc of silica may be placed in a recess in a carbon crucible with a layer of germanium and a weighted silica rod over it, and the germanium heat treated under pressure as above to form a wafer, the contacting surfaces of the silica disc and rod preferably being etched and roughened. Alternatively, lower and upper platens of a heated press of etched silica may be used, and one or other formed with recesses receiving portions of germanium so that wafers may be mass produced.

Title: Improvements in or relating to television and like systems
IPC: H04N5/10
Filed: 1937-10-07
Abstract: 503,529. Television. BAIRD TELEVISION, Ltd., and GILBERT, A. H. Oct. 7, 1937, No. 27182. [Class 40 (iii)] The waveform of a framing impulse, which occurs shortly after a line-synchronizing im- .pulse, is so distorted as to compensate the tendency of the framing generator to operate at incorrect times on that frame of an interlaced scanning system. Impulses from a line-scanning oscillator 14 during the fly-back period are injected in the circuit of a valve 1, which separates the synchronizing signals and passes them to the scanning oscillators 13, 14 of the type described in Specification 456,640. When a negative impulse is applied to the anode of a diode 5 from the oscillator 14, a condenser 3 is effectively disconnected from the cathode of the valve 1, because a resistance 4 has a high value. Thus the condenser 3 is effective only during the intervals between the line impulses. When a framing impulse occurs in this period, the diode is conductive and the potential across an output resistance 9 does not reach its maximum until the condenser has been partially discharged. This delay compensates the tendency of the framing oscillator to be triggered by the line impulses.

Title: Rotational direction indicators
Inventor: PAYNE ANTHONY KENNETH LESLIE
IPC: F02B1/04
Filed: 1968-06-10
Abstract: 1,271,938. Magnetic switches; direction responsive switches. A. K. L. PAYNE, and K. PAYNE. 24 July, 1969 [10 June, 1968], No. 27568/68. Heading H1N. [Also in Division G1]  A device for detecting or indicating the direction of rotation of a shaft 2 (24) comprises a switch 3 (20) having its switch actuating mechanism 5 (22) surrounding the shaft 2 (24) and mounted thereon by means of a bearing for rotational movement relative to the shaft so that during rotation of the shaft in one direction the mechanism 5 (22) assumes an inoperative position and so that during the initial part of rotation of the shaft in the opposite direction the mechanism 5 (22) is moved by the shaft 2 (24) due solely to the friction forces in the bearing to an operative position in which the switch 3 (20) is actuated to enable detection or indication of the rotation of the shaft in the opposite direction. In the embodiment of Fig. 1, a reed contact unit 3 is operated by a magnet 7 on an insulating disc 5 of resin bonded fibre when the disc is rotated from the inoperative position shown to the operative position defined by a stop 8 engaging the other stop face 9b of a stop 9 on the casing 1. The friction in the bearing is between bronze bearing parts 4a, 4b push fitted on the shaft 2 and secured to the disc 5 respectively. A ball race may be substituted for the plain bearing. In another embodiment, both reed contact unit and magnet are mounted on the casing in mutually facing relationship on opposite sides of a magnetizable disc frictionally coupled to the shaft and having a cut-out which in the operative position of the disc is aligned with the magnet and switch.  In a further embodiment, Fig. 4, a microswitch 20 is actuated by a spring arm 30 extending radially from a rotary spindle 32, as the arm 30 is moved against a stop 28 by a lug 26 towards the end of the clockwise movement of a steel sleeve 22 away from its inoperative position with the lug 26 abutting the other side of the stop 28. The sleeve 22 is rotated by frictional contact between the shaft 24 and a bearing bush 34 (of oil filled sintered material) secured to the sleeve 22 and a running fit on the shaft 24. The microswitch 20 controls an indicator or alarm or a circuit for stopping a prime mover when it starts turning in the wrong direction.

Abstract: 226,329. Bender, W. A., and Parkinson, Ltd., F. & A. Nov. 2, 1923. Alternating-current induction machines; motors, controlling.-The stator winding of a single-phase induction motor comprises four sections, Fig. 1, arranged so that at starting the pair of sections AB, AD together produce a number of poles and the sections BC, BD produce a similar field angularly displaced from the field due to the first set; in the running condition, the current through one section of each pair is reversed without changing the connections of the sections with one another so that the combined sections produce a different number of poles. The necessary phase displacement at starting may be obtained by the use of condensers, choking coils, or a resistance EGF. At starting the lines are connected to the points E, C, and the point F is connected to the points B, D. In the running condition, the lines are connected to the points B, D. Fig. 2 shows a winding adapted to give 6 poles for starting and 4 poles for running. Winding ends 1, 5 correspond to point A, ends 2, 3 to point B, ends 7, 6 to point D, and ends 4, 8 to point C. When operating on the lower number of poles there are two slots at the centre of each pole in which the currents oppose each other. This arrangement is stated to produce a field form approaching a true sine wave.
