Title: An Improved Method for the Continuous Determination of the Hydrogen Contents of Gaseous Mixtures and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1904-07-14
Granted: 1904-09-01
Abstract: 15,706. Thompson, W. P., [Vereinigte Maschinenfabrik Augsburg und Maschinenbau Ges.]. July 14. Combustible gases, testing.-The hydrogen contained in a gaseous mixture, e.g. for use in motors, is continuously determined. use being made of the fact that the conductivity of hydrogen for h e a t and electricity is greater than that of other gases. A current of gas, vapour, or liquid at a constant temperature may be passed through a worm in a vessel through which circulates a constant current of the gaseous mixture. Measurement of the temperature at the exit of the worm determines the hydrogen contained in the mixture. Or condensible vapours may be passed through the worm, and the resulting condensate per unit of time measured. With the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the temperature of the warm column of air ascend - ing from the steadily-burning flame g is taken at the top of the pipe.f. The gaseous mixture flows through the insulated sleeve h. In another apparatus, a metal rod projects into a vessel through which the gaseous mixture flows, and its outer fixed end is kept at a constant temperature, e.g. by an electric resistance coil. The proportion of hydrogen is indicated by a pointer moved by the expanding or contracting rod ; or the rod may be made of two strips of differently expansible metals, and so indicate by bending. In another apparatus, a constant current of the gaseous mixture is passed over a wire helix heated by the passage of a constant electric current ; variations due to temperature changes in the resistance of which are indicated by measurement, or by the fluctuations of an incandescent lamp in series with the resistance. Or two electrodes s, t, Fig. 5, are charged to a different potential. The gaseous mixture flows through the insulated tube r, and the potential of the charge remaining on the electrode t determines the richness of the mixture in hydrogen.

Title: Improvements in Alternating Current Electric Motors.
Filed: 1904-07-20
Granted: 1905-06-01
Abstract: 16,108. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 20. Armatures motors, controlling. - Relates to means for compensating in alternating - current commutator motors for the magnetizing-current, and consists in providing an auxiliary winding revolving with the rotor and connected to it electrically, and in inducing in this winding a suitable electromotive force. Fig. 1 gives a partly sectional view of the motor, S being the stator, and R the rotor with the commutator C and short-circuiting brushes b, b. On the same shaft is an auxiliary rotor r, with an auxiliary stator s. Fig. 2 shows the development on a plane surface of the series windings of the rotors R, r for a four-polo machine, each coil of the rotor r being connected to an opposite coil on the main rotor R. Fig. 3 shows the two stators S, s connected in series across the mains a, a, the points of connection of the two stators being displaced 90 electrical degrees from each other. When the motor is running, therefore, an electromotive force is induced in the rotor r, displaced 90 electrical degrees from the line of short-circuited brushes and impressed upon the rotor R in the same manner as if auxiliary brushes were used. This electromotive force varies in phase and magnitude with the motor current, and with a given strength of field in the stator s its magnitude is inversely proportional to the speed of the main motor, thus enabling the motor to be properly compensated. The brushes may be shifted to an angle with the line of primary magnetization, as in the ordinary repulsion motor. In a modification, the stator S is connected across the mains, and the stator s is connected in series with the rotor R. In another modification, the auxiliary rotor is excited by a polyphase stator.
