Abstract: 1506294 Gaseous filters for optical gas analysers FORD AEROSPACE & COMMUNICATIONS CORP 4 June 1975 [5 June 1974] 24174/75 Heading G1A A gaseous filter cell for use as a rotatable chopper in a non dispersive gas analyzer comprises a cylindrical body 24, Fig. 2, which can be fitted to a shaft by a collar 28 and which has gas chambers 25, 26 defined by end windows 31, 32 and a partition between the chambers; the chambers can be filled with appropriate gas through apertures 29, 30 which are normally closed by screws and O ring seals. The assembly is secured with epoxy cement, and the windows may each be in two parts to aid cementing to the partition between the chambers. If the gas pressures are above atmosphere, a design using end caps bearing on the windows may be used, Fig. 10, (not shown). A chopper 33 may be included on or between the windows. To fill the chambers, an attachment as in Fig. 6 is bolted to a flat machined on the assembly, or is held on by a strap, Fig. 7, (not shown). Knob 56 allows screw 35 to be released so that gas may be passed into the chamber via a supply line (not shown) connected to the attachment at 57. One of the chambers may be evacuated and covered with a neutral filter; in place of that filter, the chopper spacing may be altered to reduce the energy flow through the evacuated chamber. A design with four chambers is given, Fig. 9, for use with two light beams to permit two measurements to be made simultaneously in a gas analyzer.

Abstract: 1450330 Low-manganese steel production NIPPON STEEL CORP 31 May 1974 [31 May 1973] 24237/74 Heading C7D Molten pig iron is treated to reduce its Mn content to not more than 0À35% after which it is blown with oxygen in a converter to produce steel containing not more than 0À065% Mn, not less than 0À03% C and not more than 1000 p.p.m. of oxygen. Preferably the carbon content does not exceed 0À06% and the nitrogen 35 p.p.m. Manganese removal is effected by injection of chlorine or carbon tetrachloride, or by stirring with iron oxide having a bulk density of 0À3 to 1 gm/cm<SP>3</SP> possibly in conjunction with fluxes such as limestone silica or fluorite. The carbon content may be reduced by vacuum degassing, or at a later stage by decarburization annealing to 0À005-0À06% while prior to casting Si may be added e.g. 2À5-4%, and also one or more of Mn, S, Al, Se, N, Sb, V, Cu, P, Ti or Cr to provide a dispersed phase facilitating production of the desired phase on secondary recrystallization.

Title: Improvements relating to apparatus for delivering liquids in quantities measured by volume
IPC: B67D7/10
Filed: 1923-09-29
Abstract: 220,490. Sekinger, O. Sept. 29, 1923. Fixed - chamber apparatus; w i t h counting and registering apparatus; with printing apparatus. - A multipleway cock controlling- the inlet and discharge pipes of a measuring vessel is operated by a hand-lever which is locked by a mechanism adapted to be operated by detachable. keys on the use of any one of which to unlock the apparatus the valve may be operated and the quantity of liquid withdrawn, registered, and recorded. Liquid is pumped from a storage receptacle through a three-way cock into the measuring vessel. A pipe passing centrally upward through the vessel nearly to the top returns excess liquid back to the storage receptacle. The spindle 5 of the three-way cock 3 carries a toothed wheel 16 con. nected to a similar wheel on a shaft 21 by a perforated endless metal band 18. On the end of the shaft 21 is keyed the operating handle 23 which is normally locked by a spring pawl 27 engaging a notch 26 in a stop disc 25 fast on the shaft 21. The pawl 27 is keyed on a shaft 29 carrying spaced feelers 30 the free ends of which underlie catches 31 on vertically guided lock rods 32 normally preyed upward by springs 35. The upper part of the rods 32 are formed with locking bodies 36 each having a diagonal slot 37 engaging a stud 38 mounted on a rotary part 39. The parts 39 carry guide bolts 41 for the keys 44. The nipples 43 on the keys 44 are pushed down into a vertical groove, and the key turned, whereupon the nipples take into horizontal slots in fixed sleeves 42 preventing withdrawal of the key. When a key is inserted and turned, the locking rod 32 moves down and releases the catch 27. The rods 32 end in projections 46, 47 of which one carries a figure type corresponding to the volume of the measuring vessel, the inking ribbon 50 being pressed against a paper strip 54 guided over the printing bar 49. A forked lever 58 carrying a stud 59 is pivoted to the projection 47 and feeds the wind-up spool 56 by engagement with a toothed wheel 57 on the spindle of the spool. The rods 32 also carry lugs 65 which operate the feed levers 66 of counters 67. In the middle of the rod 32 is a pin 71 which normally stands over the inclined slots 72 of a rail 73 and bar 75. As the rod 32 moves down, the bars 73, 75 are moved to the right, the bar 75 spring ing back so that the barbed back 77 takes over the pin 71 retaining the rod 32 and the key against removal. The movement of the bar 73 brings the slit away from under the pins 71 and the remaining keys cannot be depressed. To release the key the lever 23 is returned to normal position, the valve being thus opened to supply. This movement of the lever 23 acting through the inclined lug 24, and a one-way spring catch 82 causes the shaft 81 to slide against the spring 80 to release the pins 71.
