Title: Cathode ray amplifying tube
IPC: H01J31/18
Filed: 1936-07-28
Abstract: 484,186. Cathode-ray tubes. FARNSWORTH TELEVISION, lnc. July 28, 1936, No. 20906. Void. Convention date, Aug. 10, 1935. [Class 39 (i)] In a cathode-ray tube used for television a grid 16 placed directly in front of the luminescent screen 21 is scanned by a high velocity beam supplied by a gun mounted at the end of the envelope ; the gun consists of the indirectly heated cathode 5 control electrode 4 and anode 2. The grid is formed of nickel wire insulated by magnesium oxide. Two sources 34 of low-velocity electrons, each consisting of an indirectly heated cathode 26 and grid anode 34, are mounted within the enlarged part of the envelope and flood the grid with electrons to charge its surface negatively ; the scanning beam will cause secondary emission from elementary areas of the grid 16, changing the space charge around this area and allowing low velocity electrons to pass through the grid, possibly with some of the high velocity beam, to bombard and light up the screen 21. This screen is of refractory material and may be in sheet form or made of knitted fabric. Leakage of electrons will take place through the insulating coating of the grid to the nickel underneath ; the modulating effect of the signal current will cause variation in the secondary emission and in the space charge effect. When the scanning beam leaves an elementary area, the leakage will gradually bring the area to a datum level during which period a varying amount of electrons will be able to pass through the mesh of that area. The modulating control may be applied to the grid 16 in which case the high velocity beam from the cathode 5 is not modulated.

Title: Steering control arrangement for a self-propelled combine harvester
IPC: B62D33/06
Filed: 1969-04-24
Abstract: 1,262,543. Controlling vehicles. DEERE & CO. 24 April, 1969 [25 April, 1968], No. 20969/69. Heading B7H. A steering control column 17 is mounted in the driver's platform 8 of a combine harvester by means of a ball-joint 18 and is spring-loaded into a central neutral position from which it is pivotally movable transversely of the machine for controlling steerable wheels 3<SP>1</SP> and longitudinally of the machine for controlling the ratio of transmission means connected to driving wheels 3. A handgrip 24 on the column carries a button 25 for controlling a clutch through which the cutting unit 5 of the machine is driven. A link 119 transmits longitudinal movements of the column 17 to a control valve 118 connected to an hydraulic actuating cylinder 132 for a continuously-variable expanding-pulley belt drive 133 through which the wheels 3 are driven. A link 28 arranged at right angles to the link 119 transmits transverse movements of the column 17 to a steering valve 36 which controls operation of a steering cylinder 41 linked to the steerable wheels 3<SP>1</SP>. The steering valve 36, Fig. 7, includes a control piston 38 which slides in a casing 56 and has a bore 58 containing another slidable control piston 57 urged into a central neutral position by springs 60, 60<SP>1</SP>. Pipes 39, 40 connect the valve 36 to the steering cylinder 41, and pipes 63, 64 connect the valve to a reservoir 68 and to either a main supply pump 67 or an emergency supply pump 80 according to the position of a valve 70 which can be actuated by a handle 86 if the main pump fails. A rod 34 connected to the link 28 acts on the control piston 38 through a flange 88. When the control piston 57 occupies its central neutral position, a by-pass 114 returns fluid delivered by the operative pump 67 or 80 to the reservoir 68, and passages 99, 105 connected to the pipes 39, 40 are closed. When the control piston 38 is displaced in the casing 56 by the rod 34, e.g. to the left, the control piston 57 is moved to the right as shown by the pressure differential created in chambers 89, 89<SP>1</SP> at the ends of the casing 56. In this position, pressure fluid from the pump 67 or 80 is delivered to the chamber 89<SP>1</SP> through passages 92, 110, 112 so that the control piston 38 is moved to the left to force fluid from the chamber 89 through passages 113, 108, 105 to the steering ram 41. When the wheels 3<SP>1</SP> reach the position corresponding to the movement of the column 17 the control piston 57 is restored to the neutral position by the appropriate one of the springs 60, 60<SP>1</SP>. In another embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), the steering control member includes a handle-bar which is turned to steer the wheels and the control member is pivoted to control the transmission ratio or the drive to an inclined conveyer. Twist-grips on the handlebar control the transmission ratio and the conveyer speed respectively, and levers on the handle-bar control the height of a cutting reel and of the cutting unit.

Abstract: 1,012,839. Bearings. E. H. SCHWARTZMAN. May 22, 1964 [May 29, 1963], No. 21167/64. Heading F2A. In a gas lubricated bearing a shaft rotates in a bearing member which is suspended from a housing body by means allowing damped motion of the bearing member within the body. In the hydrostatic bearing shown in Fig. 1 gas is supplied through inlets 60, 74 annular chambers 66, 80 and ports 68, 82 and removed from outlet 98. Oscillation of the journal 22 causes oscillation of the bearing member 32 which is damped by friction between the bearing member and both the cups 44 and pistonrings 54, and between the bearing shoulders 52 and the housing body 12, thus damping the oscillation of the journal 22. Rotation of bearing 32 is prevented by pin 56. At journal 24 gas is supplied by inlet 84 to reservoir 88 the pressure in which may cause axial movement of the bearing 70, and thus bearing 32, so that the amount of friction damping oscillation may be adjusted. Stop 96 prevents excessive movement of bearing 70. The cups 44 may be omitted and the springs 40 replaced by either hollow springs or bellows, each with one end extending into the bearing to introduce the gas and to prevent rotation. In the hydrodynamic case described where the pressure in the films is self-generated, the amount of friction damping oscillation is controlled by the pressure of adjustable axially directed springs engaging one of the bearings, and a cylindrical sleeve extending between two bearing members has shoulders in contact with the body. The conical bearings may be arranged with either their apecal ends facing (as shown in Fig. 1) or their base ends facing.
