Title: An arrangement for the photo-electric observation of surfaces
IPC: H04N1/029
Filed: 1960-09-21
Abstract: 960,596. Photo-electric plan detectors. LICENTIA PATENT - VERWALTUNGS - G. m. b. H. Sept. 21,1960 [Sept. 28,1959], No. 32448/60. Heading G1A. An apparatus for detecting imperfections in a surface comprises an illuminted slit, an optical system for forming from this a spot on the surface, an oscillating or rotating mirror to cause the spot to traverse the surface, and a photo-electric device to produce a signal proportional to the light in a beam reflected on to it from the surface, in which the beam forming the spot and the reflected beam pass through different halves of a cylindrical lens, the beam forming the spot being incident on the surface at an angle of less than 90 degrees. As shown a slit 3 lies on the upper side of a horizontal plane through the optical axis of an optical system 4 and the beam emerging from the system illuminates the surface of a web of material 1 (which is moving in the direction of the arrow 13) after reflection by a mirror 2 and transmission through one half of a cylindrical lens 5. After reflection from the web the light is transmitted through the other half of the lens 5, and reflected by the mirror 2 and a second mirror 8 on to a photo-electric device 7, such as a photo-multiplier, the mirror 8 occupying the lower half of the field of view of the optical system. The mirror 2 oscillates or rotates to cause the light spot to scan the moving web in a direction transverse to that of the movement of the web so that an imperfection such as a crease within the width scanned will be detected by the fall in photo-multipier output occasioned by the shadow of the imperfection. To equalise the path length of the light throughout the scanning motion a parabolic strip reflector 21 and a plane strip reflector 22 are interposed in the path of the beam between the mirror 2 and the cylindrical lens 5 as shown in Fig. 4.

Title: High load hydrostatic bearing
IPC: F16C32/06
Filed: 1961-09-11
Abstract: 956,402. Bearings, lubricating &c. BOEING CO. Sept. 11, 1961 [Sept. 12, 1960], No. 32548/61. Heading F2A. In a fluid bearing comprising a housing 12a wherein a shaft 10a is rotatably mounted, a conduit 14 in the central portion of the housing permits the passage of fluid under pressure to an annulus 15a and thence to annular spaces 16a, 17a formed by adjacent first and second bearing surfaces 18a, 20a in stepped relationship in the housing and co-operating with surfaces 19a, 21a of the shaft respectively. A semicircular ridge is formed in the upper half of the housing 12a adjacent the annulus 15a, which ridge creates a pressure drop in the upper half of the housing by reducing the clearance between the housing and shaft and permits a higher pressure to be produced in the lower half of the housing to support the shaft load. This pressure differential is maintained by the stepped bearing surfaces 18a, and 20a due to the smaller radial clearance existing at the surface 20a of the housing and its co-operating surface 21a on the shaft. The latter also provides a means for maintaining concentricity between shaft and housing under all load conditions. Alternative means for promoting higher pressure in the lower half of the housing include widening the annulus in this portion of the housing, creating turbulence by roughening the surface of the lower portion of the housing, and forming this surface with eccentric portions to increase the clearance in the lower half of the housing. Either the shaft or the housing may have stepped bearing surfaces.

Title: Strand-tension controlling device
IPC: B65H59/16
Filed: 1962-08-27
Abstract: 955,028. Yarn-tensioning devices. RONSON HYDRAULIC UNITS CORPORATION. Aug. 27, 1962 [Sept. 5, 1961], No. 32806/62. Heading D1D. A device for keeping the tension constant in a running yarn, comprises a pulley rotated by the strand, means for sensing the tension in the strand as it leaves the pulley, a disc having at least a part formed of electrically conducting non-magnetic material and connected to rotate with the pulley, and magnets connected to the sensing-means and arranged one on each side of the disc to exert a drag opposing its rotation, the arrangement being such that the sensing-means moves the magnets towards and away from the centre about which the disc rotates upon a detected increase or decrease respectively in tension to decrease or increase the drag and rectify the tension. As shown, the incoming strand 20 passes several times around a pulley 44 above a housing 12 secured to a shaft 34 carrying a disc 50. The sensing-means comprises an arm 80 with an eye 82 to deflect the strand through a right angle, secured to a shaft 68 carrying arms 106,107 to which magnets are adjustably secured at 132. The shaft 68 is biased oppositely to the direction in which the strand tends to rotate it by a spring 84 of low power one end of which is attached to the shaft and the other to a cap 58 prevented from rotation with the shaft by a circlip 60. It can however be rotated manually to change the tension in the spring and thus adjust the working tension in the yarn, the top of the cup being calibrated. Alternatively, the shaft 68 may be biased by an adjustably-weighted cord passing over a pulley on an arm fixed to the housing. Stop pins, e.g.112, limit movement of the arms 106107 so that the range of the arm 80 is. 22¢ degrees and the magnets do not pass beyond the edge of the disc. The disc is of copper or aluminium or of paper or fibreglass with an outer annulus of these metals. When the tension is a minimum, the bias of the shaft causes the magnets to move to the outer area of the disc so that the drag is a maximum; as the tension rises, the magnets move towards the centre of the disc to reduce the drag. The strand passes through a slot in the upper end of shaft 68 so that the pull it exerts on arm 80 always acts along the length of the arm. The device may also carry a double-disc tensioner in advance of pulley 44. Specification 589,529 and U.S.A. Specification 2,688,789 are referred to.

Abstract: 1473710 Program control K F HEINE 26 July 1974 [31 July 1973] 33117/74 Heading G4A A predetermined program stored in store P-Sp (Fig. 8) of a programmable computer permits jump instructions up to a predetermined amount (as described a conditional jump of six instructions is permitted), jumps greater than this being effected by a jump to the next stored instruction which holds the address to which the program is to jump. In the arrangement as described the condition for a jump is the switching state H or L of an element. The first four bits in each column of the store represent either the jump (i.e. 010 means two instructions are to be omitted) and a bit indicating whether the condition is high or low for the accessed element or an unconditional jump (0001) in which case the program count is increased by one and the next column is accessed, this column holding in its last nine bit positions the address to be accessed next. When the first three bits are 111 an output element represented by the address in the line address bit position of the column is set or reset in accordance with the value of bit 4. Initially column 0 is accessed to address element 1 and, if it is not set, under the control of mechanism B-St a jump of one (since bit 4 is one and bits 1, 2, 3 are 001) is made in the count in counter P-Reg so that column 2 of the store is accessed. If the element is set the counter is merely stepped to the next column, i.e. column 1. The address in column results in element 2 being accessed and if the element is not set the next column is accessed. Column 2 holds 0001 in bit positions 1-4 which is recognized by the system as an unconditional jump command and a jump is effected to the address held in the address part of the column 1. If however the element 2 is set, a jump is effected to column 3 where bits 1-4 are recognized as command bits (1111) to control the setting of an output element, the number of which is represented by the count in the address bits of column 3-in this case element 19.
