Title: Improvements relating to fluorescent electric lighting systems
IPC: H05B41/18
Filed: 1947-04-10
Abstract: 622,799. Supply systems for discharge apparatus; transformers; inductance. MANDL, A., and METROPOLITAN-VICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. April 10, 1947, No. 9589. [Classes 38 (ii) and 38 (iv)] In a lighting system with one terminal of each filamentary discharge electrode connected together through a condenser while the others are connected to the supply, a transformer has its primary in shunt to the condenser and the secondary open or short-circuited by a switch whereby the primary reactance of the transformer is low enough for heating current to pass with the secondary short-circuited and high enough to raise the condenser voltage for initiating the discharge when the secondary is open-circuited. As shown, short-circuiting of secondary of transformer 8 by switch 10 permits preheating of electrodes 1, 2 and open-circuiting enables voltage across condenser 4 to rise and initiate the discharge. Chokes 7, 9 may be connected as shown and may be on a common core with the transformer windings (primary coils 16, secondary coils 17) as shown in Fig. 2. Specification 601,809 is referred to.

Abstract: 491,979. Vehicle spring-suspensions. AUTO UNION AKT.-GES. April 6, 1937, No. 9705. Convention date, April 6, 1936. [Class 108 (ii)] In a vehicle spring-suspension of the kind in which the front wheels are independently sprung so as to partake of a parallel movement, while the rear wheels are mounted on half-axles or the equivalent so as to receive a tilting movement, with the result that the longitudinal axis of roll inclines upwardly from the front to the rear of the vehicle, the effective length of the tilting arm of the rear wheels is positively diminished when the vehicle traverses a curve, so raising the point of rotation of the rear suspension and bringing into play a restoring force acting in the opposite sense to the centrifugal force about the front point of rotation. In the arrangement shown the front wheel carriers, are pivotally mounted on the ends of transverse leaf springs 4, 5, and the suspension provides a low point of rotation P. The rear wheels 21 are carried upon halfaxles 20 which are pivoted at M upon short links 22 pivoted to the central frame member 2 and fitted with stops 23 normally adapted to abut against the frame member. Long and short transverse springs 14, 15 acting in conjunction with links 18, 19 support the load on the axles. Normally the stops 23 are in contact with the frame member 2, and the half-axles 20 swing about the points M, thus providing a point of rotation QI of the suspension which is approximately at the height of the centre of gravity S. When the vehicle traverses a curve and the load on one wheel 21 is increased, the springs 14, 15 yield, the abutment 23 is displaced and the half-axle 20 swings about an instantaneous centre MII, Fig. 3, nearer to the wheel, thus providing a new centre of rotation QII for the system at a greater height than the point QI. In this way, a counterbalancing couple due to centrifugal force is called into action acting in opposition to the effect due to the front wheel suspension.

Filed: 1968-02-29
Abstract: 1,210,127. Fuel elements. ATOMENERGI A.B. 29 Feb., 1968, No. 9933/68. Heading G6C. A fuel element comprises a tubular metal casing 31 containing a plurality of cylindrical fuel bodies 32 which each contain at least one gas-filled opening 33 extending in the axial direction of the fuel element, the channel(s) defined by the openings 33 being divided into a plurality of shorter sections separated by partitions 34. The channel is divided into at least 10, preferably at least 20, shorter sections. This arrangement prevents small fragments of fuel from the walls of the channel'or drops of molten fuel from collecting at the bottom of the channel and resulting in an undesired temperature increase. In alternative embodiments, the partitions comprise circular plates disposed intermediate the ends of the fuel bodies with their peripheral portions extending into the fuel material (Fig. 5, not shown), or the partitions comprise comparatively thick plates having on their upper surface a circular recessed portion of slightly larger diameter than the channel to avoid fuel from collecting in the corners between the partitions and the channel wall (Fig. 6, not shown). The casing 31, closure plugs 35, 36, and partitions 34, may consist of zirconium. Other suitable materials for the partitions 34 are beryllium, molybdenum, tantalum, steel, graphite, a metal-graphite composition, a sintered ceramic material such as silicon dioxide, aluminium oxide or silicon carbide, a metal having a ceramic coating or a ceramic material having a metal coating. In a further embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown), a central axial opening extends through a part of the height of the fuel body only, thus leaving a thin wall which serves as a partition in a fuel element consisting of a plurality of such fuel bodies. In a still further embodiment (Figs. 7 and 8, not shown), the openings of two adjacent fuel bodies are displaced relative to each other so as not to communicate, the upper surface of a fuel body being the bottom of a channel section. Fuel cartridges are formed from a cluster of the above-described fuel elements, the upper ends of the fuel elements being fastened to a head having a flange member by means of which the fuel cartridge can be seized by a refuelling machine. The use of these fuel cartridges in both the boiler tubes and the superheater tubes of a water-cooled nuclear reactor is described.

Title: Sponge for coating
Inventor: HARADA HIROBUMI
IPC: A47L1/06
Filed: 1996-01-08
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To lessen scratches on the surface of a face to be coated at the time of coating and lower the unevenness of a coating by using a coating face and the peripheral face of the coating face as a coating part and forming at least one curved face in the coating part in a sponge column body. SOLUTION: A sponge 13 has an approximately semicylindrical shape as a whole and as for the surface of the sponge, that is a coating part 13a, the coating face 13b has an approximately arc-like shape as a whole. In the case a face to be coated, for example the glass surface, is coated with a coating material using the sponge 13, a lower part of a side face in the front side in proceeding direction of the sponge and the coating part 13a are deformed into the crushed state. At that time, since the ridgeline in the longer side of the coating part 13a has a curved face, the sponge 13 can move smoothly on the face to be coated without scratching the face to be coated with the coating part 13a. Moreover, even if the sponge 13 inclines against the face to be coated, a wide coating surface area can be retained.
