Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         A method is described of intensifying a relatively slow speed natural substantially horizontal flow of a natural fluid, such as a tidal flow, as opposed to a tidal rise, or a river flow, the natural flow being used to turn about a substantially horizontal axis rotary means arranged to act directly on a working fluid, which may be the natural fluid, where the latter is a liquid, or a separate liquid, and force it through a pipe system to a flow intensifier in the form of a constriction. The working liquid is forced through the pipe system without the formation of an elevated head and can be used to drive means for generating electricity.  Flow intensifying apparatus is also described using seawater as the natural fluid and either fresh water or the seawater as the working fluid.  Several of the apparatus may be disposed to cause a vortex or maelstrom which then serves to drive the apparatus.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         A magnetizing apparatus for use in the static convergence of three in-line electron beams within a color television receiver cathode ray tube comprises two pluralities of windings.  Each plurality is suitably arranged for positioning about a neck portion of the cathode ray tube in proximity to a magnetic material located adjacent to the neck.  The windings are adapted to receive a magnetizing current for creating permanently magnetized regions within the magnetic material for producing a magnetic field within the cathode ray tube. The first plurality provides for like motion of the outer electron beams for which a first multiplicity of windings provides for like motion in a first direction and a second multiplicity provides for like motion in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction.  The second plurality of windings produces a magnetic field for providing opposite motion of the outer electron beams for which a third multiplicity of the second plurality provides for opposite motion in a second direction and a fourth multiplicity provides for opposite motion in a direction substantially orthogonal to the second direction.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      A control system for a helical scan video tape recorder having two scanning heads each of which employs a bismorph plate to dynamically control the tracking path of its respective head chip, produces separate dynamic control signals for each of its two heads by "wobbling" or "dithering" the heads with respect to their scanning paths and employing resulting amplitude variations in the reproduced signals to drive the mean paths of the head chips into coincidence with the recorded tracks being scanned.  A transfer circuit transfers a portion of an offset voltage, representing a final control signal existing at the end of scanning of a recorded track by one of the heads to the control system controlling the other head.  This tends to bias the second head in the same direction in which the first head is biased in order to avoid the two heads scanning different tracks during still or slow motion reproduction

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE -    .   This invention is concerned with carburetion of gasoline for the purpose of reducing the consumption of gasoline and preventing pollution. The procedure for carrying out this function is by evaporation and osmosis. In the lower chamber of the carburetor where the liquid gasoline is located are immersed a plurality of special tubes.  The tubes have in their lower portion on the inside surface an absorbent material, and wicks extending therefrom.  In the upper portion of the tubes where the wicks are located, there are a plurality of lateral openings.  The gasoline is located in a lower chamber where the tubes are immersed.  The upper portion of the tubes are not immersed in the gasoline.  When the motor is turned on, the intake valve opens and air is drawn through the air filter in the carburetor and down into the tubes.  The air contacts the wicks in the tubes, vapor is formed, and passes through theopenings thereof into a chamber which has a protective material located therein.  From this chamber, the vapors of gasoline pass into the intake tube and are metered by the butterfly valve for delivery to the manifold and distribution to the cylinders of the engine.  There is also provided a valve in proximity the intake arrangement to insure the release of any back pressure which develops during a backfire.  This valve is designed to open automatically and release the pressure so as to prevent damage within the carburetor.

Abstract: SCALE WITH WEIGHT-TO-PERIOD TRANSDUCER                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          A postage scale includes a directly loaded weight-to-period transducer which provides an oscillating output, the period of which varies as a function of the weight to be measured.  The transducer includes a disc of piezoelectrically active material bonded to an inactive substrate base which dishes at its center in response to the weight to be measured.          The transducer frequency output is processed to provide a digital period signal.  A reference oscillator having matched tempera-ture characteristics generates a high frequency count calibrated for scaling the transducer period to a weight count.  The high frequency signal and the period signal are gated to provide an input to a counter which generates a digital weight information signal.  The weight information signal is transmitted to a mailing system processor for use in determining the postage requisite for mailing the article.

Abstract: "DICTATION DISPLAY DEVICE"                     Abstract Disclosed is a dictation recording system in-cluding a dictate station which has means for generating an end signal and means for recording the end signal on a record medium to delimit the end of a segment of dictation and includes motion signal means for providing a motion signal in response to an increment of the record medium moving past a predetermined reference point.  A transport provides for selective-ly moving the record medium in a forward direction and a reverse direction and an end mark detector is provided for detecting a previously-recorded end signal and providing a detected end signal.  An improved display apparatus for the dictation station is provided for maintaining a visual representation of the location of the reference point within the present one of a plurality of segments of dictation on the record medium.  The apparatus includes direction detecting means for providing a forward signal when the record medium is moving in the forward direction and a reverse signal when the record medium is moving in the reverse direction. Up/down counting means is responsive to the motion signal, the forward signal, and the reverse signal, and is incremented upon each concurrence of the motion signal and the forward signal and decremented upon each concurrence o  the motion signal, and the reverse signal.  Display means is connected to the counting means for displaying the count maintained by the counting means as the visual representation of the location of the reference point within the present dictation segment.  Control means responsive to the detected end signal and the reverse signal render the counting means unresponsive to increment and decrement upon the exit from the present one of a plurality of segments of dictation when moving the record medium in the reverse direction.  The inhibit means is further responsive to the detected end signal and the forward signal for rendering the counting means responsive to increment and decrement upon the reentry of the present one of the plurality of segments of dictation when moving the record medium in the forward direction.  Thus, the display means is rendered inoperative to display the location of the reference point upon the exit in the reverse direction from the present segment of dictation and until the return in the forward direction to the present segment.

Abstract: PRESSURE PULSE DETECTION APPARATUS Abstract of the Disclosure A pressure pulse detection apparatus is disclosed which is adapted to receive small signals from downhole measuring while drilling apparatus which signals are propo-gated as pressure pulses traveling upstream in a column of drilling mud, which signals are obscured by mud pump pressure and velocity variations traveling downstream and which are significantly larger.  The preferred embodiment incorporates a transient pressure transducer and an ultra-sonic fluid velocity detector, the two forming output signals which are conditioned, amplified and offset against one another.  They cancel (when properly calibrated) so that pressure and velocity variations from the mud pump upstream are nulled to zero.  They reinforce so that pressure and velocity variations from the downhole signal generator are enhanced, thereby forming an output signal of downhole variations of interest.
