Title: Improvements in and relating to the heat treatment of austenitic nickel-chromium steels
Filed: 1936-04-06
Abstract: To render austenitic steel alloys containing 6-50 per cent of nickel, 10-40 of chromium and not more than 0,25 of carbon resistant to corrosion at temperatures of in the range 800-1500 DEG  F., and at below 800 DEG  F. after heating at that range, slip bands are formed in the alloys by cold working below the temperature of carbide precipitation and the precipitation of carbides in the slip bands is produced by heating the alloys within the carbide precipitation range, but below 1500 DEG  F. and below the recrystallization range, whichever is the lower, for a time at least sufficient to effect a precipitation of substantially all the carbon in excess of the solubility limit at the temperature of heating and at least sufficient to effect substantially uniform redistribution of the chromium throughout the said alloy but not sufficient to cause substantial recrystallization.  The cold working may be carried out at atmospheric temperature or such as result from cold working without heating the alloy.  Reduction of cross-section of the alloys up to 60 per cent is referred to.  In an example, wire stock made of an alloy steel containing 18 per cent of chromium, 8 of nickel, and 0,05 of carbon is heated for 16 hours at 1200 DEG  F., after being subjected to cold working to produce a 50 per cent reduction in cross-section.

Abstract: 1507093 Telegraphy SOC ITALIANA TELECOMMUNICAZIONI SIEMENS SpA 12 March 1975 [11 April 1974] 10215/75 Heading H4P An arrangement for correcting a slip error in a pulse-code transmission system, using error-correcting codes, comprises a timing unit UT receiving an input signal and extracting therefrom a lining- up signal a consisting of a sequence of pulses having a period equal to the duration of each block of bits from the line, error-detecting circuits RE1-RE3 receiving the input signal and controlled by period sequences of pulses b-d from UT so as respectively to anticipate by h bits, to coincide with and be delayed by h bits with respect to, the lining-up signal, RE1-RE3 providing at their outputs signals u1-u3 indicative of when no errors have been detected in the block being checked, and a logic network RL operative in response to signals u1-u3 to control UT so as to synchronize the lining-up signal with the periodic sequence of pulses of the error-detecting circuit currently indicating that no errors have been detected, so as to subsequently resynchronize the periodic sequence of pulses supplies to the second errordetecting circuit by such an amount that it coincides with the lining-up signal, and so as to resynchronize the other periodic sequences of pulses by the same amount. Each block of bits is entered in a shift register SR and is only passed to a further register SR' when the output of a gate N, indicates that one of RE1-RE3 has detected an error-free block (i.e. sync. has been restored). Figs. 2b, 2c show an input signal whose second block m 2  has respectively lost and gained h bits. In each case, after adjustment of the lining-up signal a (and hence signals b-d), RE2 will indicate a correctlyreceived block.

Title: Improvements in or relating to winches and the like hoisting apparatus
IPC: B66D1/14
Filed: 1921-04-09
Abstract: 181,180. Peters & Co., Ltd., G. D., and MacFarlane, G. T. April 9, 1921. Driving-gear for winding and paying-out apparatus; brakes. - The pawl and ratchet braking- mechanism described in Specification 114,650 is fitted to one end of the coil of a coil clutch mounted on the driving-shaft of a winch or the like, so that if the load under gravity lowering exceeds a predetermined speed, the pawl mechanism is actuated automatically to cause the coil to connect the drum to the driving-shaft for a positive downward drive. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the driving-shaft 2 rotates constantly in the same direction and drives the drum 1 through epicyclic gearing (not shown). The brake coil 5 is secured at one end 6 to the drum and surrounds a disc 4 fixed on the driving- shaft and having a ratchet-wheel 12 fixed to its outer face. The free end of the coil carries pawls 11 connected by links to blocks 15, which slide in a circular recess in the face of the ratchet-wheel into which they are pressed by plate springs 17 on the links. During hoisting, the drum, coil, and pawls turn clockwise as seen in Fig. 2, while the driving-shaft turns counterclockwise. The effect of this is to tend to bring the links into a radial position, thus lifting the pawls clear of the ratchet-wheel to prevent clattering. During gravity lowering the drum, pawls, and driving- shaft turn counterclockwise. When the drum overruns the driving-shaft, the pawls overrun the ratchet-wheel and cause the inner ends of the links 17 to lag sufficiently to: bring the pawls into engagement with the wheel and thus tighten the coil to connect the drum positively to the driving- shaft. To provide for a positive downward drive of the unloaded rope or of a light load insufficient to run down by gravity, a second coil may be used operated independently by lever-mechanism to grip the driving-shaft at will. In some instances one or two convolutions of the main coil may be utilized as the subsidiary coil.
