Title: Device for locking two concentrically positioned and axially displaceable members
IPC: A47B9/00
Filed: 1973-11-02
Abstract: 1454552 Clamps SKILLINGARYDS MEKANISKA AB 2 Nov 1973 [3 Nov 1972] 50975/73 Heading E2B The rod 6 supporting a platform 8 is gripped to prevent downward movement by balls 16 in a conical recess 11 in an outer tube 2. The grip is released by raising the rod to its maximum extent so that a sleeve 22, secured to the lower end of the rod, strikes a tube 18 frictionally held in the outer tube. This lifts the balls clear to allow free movement of the rod. By completely lowering the rod, a sleeve 20 is caused to depress the balls and also the tube 18 to allow one-way gripping again.

Abstract: 1382367 Transfer elements COLUMBIA RIBBON & CARBON MFG CO INC 7 Nov 1972 [29 Dec 1971] 51304/72 Heading D2B A process for producing a liquid ink-releasing transfer element comprises (a) preparing a composition comprising a synthetic thermoplastic resin, a solid pore forming material, and a volatile liquid vehicle, (b) coating a thin layer of the composition onto a flexible foundation and evaporating the vehicle to form a solidified layer of the resin containing the solid pore-forming material thereon, (c) removing the solid pore-forming material from the layer to form a porous, resin layer, and (d) impregnating the porous layer with a liquid non-drying ink. In a modification, a thin intermediate bonding layer of a synthetic thermoplastic resin may be formed on the flexible foundation prior to the application of the composition referred to in (a) above. Such a bonding layer may be porous. A liquid poreforming material may also be included in the composition referred to in (a) above. In Example 1, the pore-forming coating composition comprises an ethanolic polyamide solution containing salicylic acid as the pore-forming agent. The coating composition is applied to a polyethylene terephthalate film and the ethanol is evaporated off. The coated film is then heated to 90‹C to sublime the salicylic acid, thereby forming a porous nylon-coated film. The porous coating is then impregnated with a conventional duplicating ink comprising carbon black, mineral oil, butyl stearate, and mineral spirits. In Example 2, a pore-forming coating composition comprising a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer solution containing sodium chloride, heptane, and methyl ethyl ketone is applied to a polyethylene terephthalate film carrying a porous nylon bonding layer. The methyl ethyl ketone and heptane are evaporated off sequentially and the sodium chloride is leached out with water to produce a coating having the desired porosity. The coating is then inked as previously. In Example 3, the pore-coating composition comprises an aqueous emulsion of a polyurethane resin containing N, N'-dimethyl-N, N'-dinitroso terephthalamide as a pore-forming agent.

Title: Improvements relating to nuclear reactor fuel elements

Abstract: 1,216,468. Fuel elements. UNITED KING- DOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. 6 Feb., 1968 [16 Dec., 1966], No. 56382/66. Addition to 948,479. Heading G6C. A fuel element, for operation in a fast nuclear reactor, employs ceramic fuel comprising a depleted or low enrichment region surrounded by a high enrichment region, with a sheath enclosing both regions, the high enrichment region having up to 40% voidage, including distributed voidage. Suitable fuel material is Pu/U oxide or carbide, or U-233/Th oxide or carbide. One fabrication procedure is to stack cylindrical or annular pellets of depleted or low enrichment material within a sheath and load highly enriched material in the annulus between the stack and the sheath by a vibrocompaction procedure. As the highly enriched outer region will be required to undergo a high fractional burn-up, its relative density should be kept low, possibly 60 to 70% of the theoretical density. The inner region can have a higher theoretical density but local voidage must be provided to accommodate fuel swelling there also. A central hole in the pellets is desirable and may provide part of the total voidage of the inner region. In addition to the internal voidage -distributed throughout the outer region of high enrichment a gap may be left between the outer region and the sheath. This gap would be gas-filled, e.g. initially with He. An alternative method of manufacture is to apply a ceramic Pu or U-233 compound as a coating on pellets forming the inner region. For compatibility reasons, the inner and outer regions are desirably the same type of chemical compound, i.e. oxide or carbide.
