Title: Detection arrangement in mass spectrometers
Inventor: FREEDMAN PHILIP ANTONY
IPC: H01J49/02
Filed: 2009-02-04
Abstract: An approach to extending the dynamic range of the detector of a mass spectrometer is described. In one embodiment, in the case of high intensity beams, means are provided to deflect the ion beam, after the collector slit 1, on to an attenuator 4, which may be a grid or an array of small holes, through which only a small fraction of the ion beam reaches the ion detector 6. Use of an array of holes ensures that the recorded signal is insensitive to the distribution of ions within the beam. The beam passes directly to a detector if the signal is of low intensity.

Abstract: 696,314. Automatic pilots. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. April 30, 1951 [May 16, 1950], No. 10109/51. Class 38 (iv). A monitor for a conventional electric automatic pilot comprises a gyro vertical 56 with roll and pitch inductive pick-offs 59, 68 feeding two stage R.C. amplifiers having relays 86, 92 in the output anode circuits. The relays are normally " held on " by the static current of the valves but with a large A.C. signal applied to the valves due to abnormal pitch or roll, the impedance of the relay reduces the current and the relays open to de-energize the fixed phase 36, 44 of the aileron and/or elevator servomotor, or de-energize the servo amplifiers. (The latter arrangement is not shown.). The limits at which the automatic pilot is cut out may be adjusted by the amplifier input potentiometers 66, 75. Specification 662,832 is referred to.

Filed: 1961-03-21
Abstract: 930,917. Washing and chilling curd. BORDEN CO. March 21, 1961, No. 10331/61. Class 49. [Also in Group I] In the production of cottage cheese curd, whey is washed from the curd and the curd is quickly chilled and firmed by moving it, in the form of a layer on a draining support, alternately down and up, into and above a bath of refrigerated water; if desired, the curd may be repeatedly sprayed with refrigerated water at positions above the bath until the whey is washed from the curd and the washed curd is chilled to firm condition. Curds and whey mix 10 delivered on to a woven wire belt conveyer 14 having two-inch shoulders 16, is repeatedly shaken and washed in a tank 32 of refrigerated water at a temperature of from 1‹ to 10‹ C. through the rotation, e.g. at about 20 to 30 r.p.m. of eccentrically mounted rollers 21 and 22, and is rinsed by water sprays 24, 25, 27 and 29. The washed and chilled curd falls through a shoot 38 to a second woven wire belt 40 for passage between this belt as a draining conveyer and an overriding belt 42; the belts are forced together against the wet curd by a series of coacting rollers 44 and 46 providing an adjustable pressure of about 0.5-3 pounds per square inch. Knives 48 and 50 direct the pressed and drained curd into a collecting hopper 52, in which it may be mixed with fresh cream or other usual components, to make the finished cottage cheese. Wet fines collected in a vessel 64 are filtered on a rotary filter 66 and received in a tank 70. A flapper 75 dislodges adhering curd from the belt 14 after the major part of the curd has been removed.

Title: Improvements in spring clockwork mechanism with motor winding gear
IPC: G04C1/06
Filed: 1944-06-02
Abstract: 571,621. Spring clockworks. LANDIS & GYR SOC. ANON. June 2, 1944, No. 10647. Convention date, June 11, 1943. [Class 139] In a spring clockwork mechanism which is wound by a motor through a reducing train, a freewheel coupling, operative in reverse motion, is fitted in the train whereby when the winding motion is completed and the drum moves backwards till suddenly stopped by the retaining pawl, the shock of the sudden stop is not transmitted to the train and motor. As shown, the motor 6 winds the drlun 5 through a train including a spindle 9 on which a gear 15 is loosely mounted, being fitted with a pin 19 engaging a shoulder on a disc 17 fixed to the shaft. By these means the sudden stoppage of the slight backward motion of the drum 5 at the end of the winding operation, caused by the engagement of the pawl 13 with the ratchet 12 does not transmit shock to the train 7, 8 and motor 6.
