Abstract: 1, 248, 169. Particle analyzing apparatus. COULTER ELECTRONICS Ltd. March 14, 1969 [March 18, 1968], No. 13468/69. Heading G1N. In particle analyzing apparatus working on the Coulter principle, two different current sources 9, 10 are employed giving rise to two "companion" pulses per particle which are compared with each other and counted if one exceeds the other by a predetermined factor. One source may be D. C. or low frequency, the corresponding pulses having amplitudes proportional to the volumes of the particles, and the other source may be r.f., the corresponding pulses having amplitudes related to some physical character of the particles, the comparison being arranged so that all the particles of one type are counted while those of a different type are not. In Fig. 1, the two companion pulses from each particle are produced simultaneously, detected in separate channels of a detector 11, and fed to a collator 20. Alternatively Fig. 2 (not shown) the companion pulses may be produced one after the other as a particle passes through a constricted passage having respective electrode pairs arranged on mutually perpendicular, spaced, axes, a delay (18) being included in the channel for the upstream electrode pair. Collators. If the detected pulses are of opposite polarity, a simple weighted summing circuit Figs. 5 and 6 (not shown) may be used, a particle being counted if the summed signals are of a given polarity. In Fig. 7, pulses from one channel A are clipped to reduce noise interference and applied to threshold circuits 40, 140 via variable attenuators 36, 136. Logic circuit 102 produces an output pulse to be counted only when the amplitude of a pulse in channel B lies within a range determined by the amplitude of the companion pulse in channel A and the setting of attenuators 36, 136. The collator may use pulse-stretching instead of clipping Figs. 9 and 10, (not shown). Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1, 185, 898.

Abstract: 419,125. Coking processes; coke ovens. CONCORDIA BERGBAU AKT.-GES., 32, Schliessfach, Oberhausen, Germany. May 7, 1934, Nos. 13744, 13745, 13746, 13747, and 13748. Convention dates, May 6, 1933, May 17, 1933, Jan. 16, 1934, Nov. 24, 1933, and March 6, 1934. [Classes 51 (ii) and 55 (i).] To increase the benzol content in the distillates from coke ovens, the temperature of the distillates is controlled by rapid withdrawal during the earlier period of carbonizing through channels which may be cooled, and the distillates are further heated during the later period of distillation. The heating or cooling may take place in a passage above the oven, or the heating may be effected by increased heat supply to the upper part of the carbonizing chamber. As applied to a twin flue oven with a free space above the charge, up-and-down draught flues 20, 21 communicate through an opening 22 and through byepasses 24 controlled by dampers 25, and openings may be provided, which can be closed by plugs, to admit gas from the free space in the fuel chamber to the heating flues 24. The distillation gases may alternatively be heated in passages 33 traversed by heating pipes 34, upcast pipes with valves 35, 36 leading from each upper gas collecting space, and superheating passage 33 respectively. On the side remote from the upcast pipe each passage 33 is connected by a duct 37 with the upper gas space of an adjacent oven. Fuel gas is supplied by burners 45 or 45<1> to the heating pipes 34 through vertical pipes 38, preheated oil from the regenerators being admitted through passage 40 closed at its end by a damper 41. If the distillates are to be cooled in the passages 33, the damper 41 is reversed, placing pipes 40 in communication with passages 42 in the sole of the regenerator, and, by drawing dampers 44, other connections 43 between the upper gas collecting spaces in the ovens and the passages 33 are opened to allow a short path for the distillates. In a modification, a separately heated passage is arranged adjacent the upper gas collecting space. A valve 10, Fig. 2, operated by a chain 12 may be provided to admit the gases from the upper collecting space 4 either direct to the ascension pipe 6 or, as shown, through a heated passage 5 communicating with the space 4 through a number of openings.

Abstract: 830,265. Measuring and signalling physical variables. FUNKWERK KOPENICK VEB. May 7, 1956, No. 14123/56. Class 40 (1). Physical values are signalled from e.g. a radiosonde with the aid of a number of tuned circuits 6, 15, 21, 27, 33 which are shockexcited by pulses from relaxation or blocking oscillators of which the frequencies are determined by the values. The variables may be temperature, humidity, radiation intensity, pressure, visibility, the wind speed voltage of the sonde battery &c. As shown, discharge tubes 5, 14, 26 and 32 and a spark gap 20 are associated with resistance/capacitance circuits connected to a common voltage source. The values of the resistors, which may be photo-cells or ionization chambers, or capacitors are varied by the values to be measured except in the case of the battery voltage when they are accurately constant. The damped oscillations on the tuned circuits modulate the output of an oscillator 10 operated in class A or class B fashion. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), blocking oscillators or multivibrators are substituted for the gas discharge tubes. The intensity of sunlight can be measured by providing temperature-dependent resistors in the grid and cathode circuits of a blocking oscillator, both being sensitive to ambient temperature and only one to radiation.
