Abstract: 1516740 Radio signalling PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 14 Oct 1975 [17 Oct 1974] 42032/75 Heading H4L In a portable transmitter-receiver e.g. for locating a person buried by an avalanche, a receiver 8 has a changeover switch 9 arranged to select either an omnidirectional aerial 10 or a directional aerial 12 and further switching means ganged to the contacts 9 and arranged so that when used with the omnidirectional aerial, the receiver 8 is arranged to initiate operation on the same frequency as a transmitter 1 so that the device behaves as a transponder and, when the contacts 9 are in the other position, the device behaves as a direction finding receiver. As described, the receiver 8 comprises an aerial tuning circuit 11, frequency converter 13 with local oscillator 14, pre-selector 15, IF amplifier 16, filter 17 and detector 18. The transmitter 1, arranged to operated on the same frequency as the receiver 8, includes an RF oscillator 3, power amplifier 4, tuned filter 5...7 feeding an aerial 2. In the normal mode e.g. when the person carrying the equipment is likely to be buried by an avalanche, contacts 9, 27 and 24 are set into the positions shown so that the battery 20 supplies the receiver 8 via an electronic changeover switch 21. At the end of a received signal, an integrator 26 initiates operation of a 15 second timer 25 which enables electronic switch 21 to changeover the power supply to the transmitter I which thereupon radiates a 15 second signal. The device thus operates as a transponder. In the other positions of contacts 9, 24, 27, the transmitter 1 can be operated by depressing push button 23 which initiates a one second timer 22 so as to cause radiation during that period. During the following 15 seconds, receiver 8 is used as a direction finder with an alarm 28 and loudspeaker 29 so as to attempt to locate a person carrying a similar equipment. A switch 30 may be closed so that the transmitter repeats its operation at the end of each signal received by the detector 18.

Abstract: 1522498 Temperature control apparatus for dewpoint measurement COMPTEURS SCHLUMBERGER 21 Oct 1975 [23 Oct 1974] 43197/75 Heading G1A The temperature of a body 2 is maintained at a required value by the conjoint action of heating and cooling means operating in 'push-pull'. The described system is designed for application to a dew-point hydrometer. In Fig. 1, the presence or absence of dew on a surface 11 of the body is sensed by a lamp-and-photo-cell arrangement 12, 14 which provides an output 6 controlling, via a transistor 19, the current supply to a heater 15. As the heating current rises or falls, the output between the transistor's collector and emitter respectively falls or rises. This output in turn controls, via the circuitry shown, a Peltier effect cooler 21. The same apparatus may be operated the other way, viz the cooling be controlled directly and the heating effect made dependent on a measurement of the cooling power. Fig. 2 (not shown) is substantially the same as Fig. 1 but uses a fluid-circuit refrigerator in place of the Peltier effect cooler.

As shown the end 4' of the arm 4 abuts the edge of an aperture 14' in a frame plate 14 when the pendulum is at the mid-point of its swing. In this position the arm is above a cam disc 1 and is engaged by one of two cams 2 thereon as the disc is rotated. The disc is driven from seconds wheel 5 via a wheel 6 which is rotatably mounted on a rocker 12. The rocker is pivoted about the axis of the disc 1 and the moment of enlarged rocker end 12' tends to keep teeth 6" of the wheel 6 in mesh with the seconds wheel 5. However, while the arm 4 is held against the plate 14 by the pendulum's rotation, thus blocking the cam 2, the rocker can rise to allow slip between the two toothings. After the pendulum has reversed its motion and the disc 1 is free to rotate, the rocker drops once more to ensure meshing, and the cam 2 pushes the arm 4 on its way to maintain the pendulum.  Many of the parts may be of plastics. The balance 20 carries an indexing device 40 driving a wheel and pinion 43, 44 and thus the seconds wheel 5.
