Abstract: 1,167,385. Valves. J. L. GRATZMULLER. 21 April, 1967 [27 April, 1966], No. 18535/67. Heading F2V. [Also in Division F4] Excess pressure, in the gas phase 8 of a combustible liquefied gas 6 contained in a storage chamber 2, is relieved by way of a valve 10 mounted on top of the chamber and comprising a valve closure member 32 connected to a diaphragm 14 and loaded on to its seat 34 by a spring 26. Upon the closure member being lifted from its seat by the excess pressure, pressurized gas enters line 38 which has an opening 40 spaced from the chamber and located adjacent a gas igniting device 42. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown), automatic ignition is effected by means including a monostat (50), there being a valve (52), similar to valve 10, disposed downstream of the monostat for regulating the flow to the line outlet 40. In Fig. 3 (not shown), there is depicted an arrangement whereby the excess pressure from one or more of three gas storage chambers can be relieved, there being only one monostat and igniting means.

Torpedoes, locomotive. - Consists mainly in special arrangements of turbines and screw propellers intended to produce high speeds and long ranges. Two turbine wheels 20, 21, Fig. 2, of the single-stage impulse type, are mounted on spindles at right-angles to the axis of the torpedo and are connected to axial propeller shafts by reducing gearing situated between the turbine wheels and comprising spur-gearing 71, 73 and 72, 74 and bevel-gear 75, 77, 78. Two screw propellers may be provided at the rear, namely 45, 46, or at the nose, namely 63, 65, Fig. 1, or at both the rear and the nose of the torpedo, the concentric propeller shafts of each pair of propellers being geared together by bevel-gears 47<1>, 67 respectively in order to rotate in opposite directions. The front propellers are protected by a frame 87 comprising two plates at right-angles to each other and formed with teeth 90 for cutting nets. The hull of the torpedo is made in sections 6, 3, 10, 17, and the propeller shafts are made in corresponding sections which become coupled together by the longitudinal movement of assembling the several sections of hull. The front propeller shafts pass through tubular sleeves in the air-reservoir 3 and in the war-head 6. The motive fluid is led out of the reservoir 3 by a port 80 connected to the nozzles 79 of the turbine wheels 20, 21, which are situated in an annular chamber 14; and the exhaust is led from this chamber by pipes 80' to another chamber 19 whence they pass into a shaft coupling 37 and through the central hollow propeller shaft out into the sea. Each pipe 80<1> has a non-return valve 81 at its rear end, and is surrounded by a jacket 82 through which water is made to circulate by hoods 84, 86 at its inlet 83 and outlet 85 respectively. The transmission gear, situated between the turbine wheels is isolated from the hot motive fluids. The several bearings of the turbine wheels and transmission gearing are connected together, so as to be fed with lubricant from the same source.

[Class 80 (ii)] [Also in Group XIV] A seat, table or other support is provided with means for raising and lowering it and means for adjusting it horizontally, the two means being adapted to be selectively operated by means of a single handle or common actuating part. For example, a seat is carried in a frame which is adjusted vertically on guides by means of screw-and-nut mechanism operated by a shaft 16, Fig. 5, while the seat is slidably adjusted on the frame by means of a screwed sleeve 13 and a nut. The shaft 16 and the sleeve 13 are selectively operated by means of a single handle 28, and for this purpose are provided with fixed collars 25, 24 respectively, housed within a casing 26 which carries the handle 28, and plungers 30, 31 actuated by a rocking member 32 engage in recesses in one or other of the collars 24, 25. The rocking member 32 is operated by a lever 34 which is forked to straddle the casing 26, to which it is pivoted at 35, and which engages trunnions 30a, 31a on the plungers 30, 31. The member 32 is held up against the plungers by a spring 33 within the handle, and the lever 34 is held in either of its two positions by a plunger 35 engaging depressions in the casing 26. In a modification, the shaft 16, Fig. 8, carries a toothed wheel 45 at its end, and the end of the sleeve 13 is formed with teeth 46, and the teeth on the wheel 45 or on the sleeve 13 are engaged selectively by corresponding teeth 49, 48 on a member 47 which for this purpose is moved transversely of the shaft by means of a quick thread screw 50. The member 47 is housed in a casing 26, and the screw 50 carries oppositely directed handles 52 at its ends. As one or other of the handles is turned into operative position, the member 47, and consequently the casing 26, is locked either to the sleeve 13 or to the shaft 16.

Abstract: 652,925. Power-generating systems; steam turbines. FIELD, J. F. Jan. 13, 1948, No. 994. [Classes 110(iii) and 122(iii)] A steam power plant includes one or more externally fired superheaters 5, 6 each followed by a steam turbine 16, 17, a surface steam to steam heat exchanger 26, a steam bleed-off pipe 36 leading either to a steam heating system for process or to a further turbine 19 arranged for condensing and feed heating, a direct water injection desuperheater 22 and a single or multistage compressor 15, the turbine and compressor elements being mechanically coupled. Outlet steam from the compressor 15 in an approximately dry saturated condition is heated in the high pressure side of the heat exchanger 26, further heated in the superheater 5, expanded in the turbine 16, reheated in the second superheater 6, expanded in the second turbine 17 and passed through and deprived of heat in the low pressure side of the heat exchanger 26; a quantity of the steam is then bled off either to the further turbine 19 which drives a generator 20 or to process and the main stream is further cooled in a feed water heater 38 and then made sufficiently wet by the direct injection therein in the desuperheater 22 of a fine spray of preheated feed water, from the condenser 35 of the turbine 19 or other source, substantially equal in weight to the amount of bled steam, so that it may be finally compressed in the compressor 15 to its original dry saturated high pressure condition. Alternatively, the quantity of water beyond that required to render the inlet steam to the compressor 15 dry saturated may be injected into the compressor stage by stage or injected at the compressor outlet. Combustion air for the superheater furnace 1 is supplied by a fan 10, preheated in an air preheater 7 and exhausted by an induction fan 11.

IPC: H04N5/91
Filed: 1991-10-10
Abstract: An extended play videodisc and a method and apparatus for playing it. The disc carries every m th segment of a video program and the segments are repeated m times to approximate the original program. Prior art extended play discs have contained every other frame or every third frame of video, but the repeating of an entire frame results in poor motion reproduction and flickering scene transitions. The present invention preferably includes the repeating of a field of video an odd number of times. The fields are preferably arranged in order on the disc with n fields per revolution, the disc being rotated such that a new field is read every one and 1/n th revolution of the disc. The new segment is preferably read during the final repeating of the previous segment.
