Title: Systems for testing electrical devices
IPC: G01R31/319
Filed: 1971-12-01
Abstract: 1379588 Circuit testing system INTERNATIONAL COMPUTERS Ltd 28 Nov 1972 [1 Dec 1971] 55734/71 Heading G1U A test system is characterized in that multi-bit characters from a controlling computer 11, Fig. 2, are successively entered into adjacent character blocks of a main store 14 under the control of a block counter 25, the block into which the first character of the sequence is entered being determined by data also from the computer, which, via a block index store 24 causes the block counter 25 to be preset to the appropriate number. As described the first character from the computer 11  is routed, under the control of logic 27, via gate 52 to a decoder so that a mode selector 28 can energize either a "write to typewriter" lead W/TW or a "write to test store" lead W/TS. Subsequent data is then appropriately routed by a switch 29. When the "write to test store" mode is selected. the subsequent characters will each be either a "data identifier" signified by a one-bit in the 2<SP>5</SP> position-or "data"-signified by a zero-bit in the 2<SP>5</SP> position. "Data identifiers" are then routed via a gate 54 to an identifier decoder 22, and "data" is routed, via a gate 33 direct to the test store 14. For the present invention only one "data identifier" is relevant, and that is the one which produces a "set C" signal from the identifier decoder. The effect of this signal is to cause the next character, which must be coded as data from the computer 11 to be entered first into the block index store 24 and then into the block counter 25 so that subsequent data characters from the computer are put into the test register 14 starting at the block corresponding to the block number just entered into the counter 25. Thus, by this arrangement, the data in the test register 14 can be modified in a piecemeal manner without the need to re-enter characters that are to remain unaltered.

Title: Protein compositions

Filed: 1972-12-05
Abstract: 1470047 Protein fibres BROOKE BOND LIEBIG Ltd 1 March 1974 [5 Dec 1972] 56164/72 Heading B5B [Also in Divisions A2 and C3] Protein fibres are obtained by wet-spinning a solution of protein and winding up the fibres so produced whilst they are moist. Between coagulation and winding up the fibres are stretched by any amount up to 400% of its original length, neutralized to a final pH of 4À0 to 7À0, rewashed to remove any excess neutralizing fluid and to leave at least 5% expressible water and optionally treated with flavours or fats. Preferably the fibres are stretched in warm NaCl solution. The fibres may be wound up in a fashion that gives the bundle the appearance of a particular cut of meat. In Example 1 soya protein fibres are made, stretched and wound up, ending with the appearance of chicken breast.  In Example 2, safflower protein fibres are made, stretched treated with lard and a mixture of sodium caseinate, hydrolysed vegetable protein, monosodium glutamate, glucose, inosine monophosphate and water, wound up and heated. Again the product resembled chicken breast.

Abstract: 1457874 Imitation solid-fuel fires; lamps PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 5 Dec 1973 56320/73 Headings F4W and F4R A rotary flicker device for use in an imitation solid-fuel fire comprises a bearing 14, a first part 12 carrying a first set of blades tending to cause rotation in one direction and a separately formed second part 13 carrying a second set of blades of opposite pitch to the blades of part 12 to cause aerodynamic resistance to said rotation. The device is particularly for use with a low-friction bearing 14, e.g. one having a jewelled insert, to keep the rotational speed of the device within a predetermined range. The blades of part 12 are formed by cutting and bending to define apertures which extend radially or spirally from the bearing 14 or are of S-shape. The part 13 is cut and bent from sheet metal and includes two or more blades. Both parts 12, 13 have central openings fitted over and frictionally engaging the bearing 14.

Title: Improvements in dashpot control apparatus
Inventor: LEIBOWITZ ALEC
IPC: B24B9/16
Filed: 1966-12-20
Abstract: 1,209,147. Grinding. SPECTRUM DIAMONDS (Pty.) Ltd. 11 Dec., 1967 [20 Dec., 1966], No. 56977/66. Heading B3D. [Also in Division F2] A dashpot 6 for controlling the gravitational movement of, for example, an arm 1 in a gem polishing machine is connected by a flexible tube 7 to an upstanding tube 8 which is movable vertically to adjust the position of balance of the dashpot plunger 5. The tube 8 is raised or lowered by a motor 9 controlled by movements of the arm. When the arm is lowered, a follower 4 on the arm engages the plunger 5 before the gem held by a dop or chuck 2 engages a polishing wheel 3. The weight of the arm gradually depresses the plunger as the gem is polished. If the arm is light or counter-weighted, its pressure on the plunger may be insufficient to move it sufficiently from its initial balanced position; this difficulty is overcome by the automatic lowering of the tube 8 so that liquid (e.g. mercury) flows out of the dashpot. After polishing, the arm is lifted off the wheel and dashpot, the tube being quickly restored to its original position causing liquid to flow back into the dashpot. A restriction valve 12 in the tube permits the liquid to flow more rapidly into, than out of, the dashpot.

Abstract: 1414326 Structural elements J M WILSON (J C White) 21 Dec 1972 59075/72 Heading E1K. [Also in Division H2] A building construction comprises a string of structural members assembled by conjoining partly overlapped members in nesting relationship to form an elongate support, and at least one strand-like member extending along the support. Each member has adjacent leg portions defined between inner and outer plane surfaces, the faces of one leg intersecting those of the other at first and second lines. Each member has in at least one leg two sets of holes on centre-lines spaced apart so that holes in a first member can be aligned with holes in a second member irrespective of whether the first member overlies or underlies the second. An iron angle-section member 10 has at least one leg 16 provided with setsof holes 24, 30 on respective parallel centre-lines 61, 63. A channel-section member 12 similarly has a leg 22 provided with sets of holes 38, 42 on centre-lines 67, 75. Pairs of members such as two members 10 or one each of 10 and 12 can be fastened together with either member of the pair overlying the other as, e.g. in Fig. I or 2, since the centre-line spacing in each member is half the lateral displacement which that member would undergo relative to the other member if their positions were interchanged. Modifications (Figs. 3-12, not shown) include: a member (10', 10", Figs. 3, 4) having pairs of sets of holes in both legs; a Z- section (90, Fig. 6); an L-section (210, Figs. 10, 11) having holes in both legs but at different pitches, or on centre-lines (261, 263, 278, 282) differently spaced from the intersection lines; and a member (310, Fig. 12) having two or more patterns of holes (X, Y) distributed along the same leg and providing additional holes for attaching the strand-like members to the support.

The deforming operation may be performed in a die (not shown). Alternatively, the guide member may be slipped on to the closure member to grip the latter at a region of reduced diameter, e.g. a groove, Fig. la (not shown), or a neck, Fig. 3a (not shown). The member 42 may be formed by moulding or machining operations and is preferably cylindrical and formed of resilient material, e.g. rubber or plastics. The guide member 41 may be formed of ductile or resilient material, e.g. spring stainless steel or plastics material, and is preferably in the form of a split ring (62), Fig. 6 (not shown), provided with projections (61) which serve as the second region.
