Title: Vehicle skid control module having a warning system
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 1974-09-13
Abstract: 1481621 Checking of anti-skid circuits KELSEY-HAYES CO 13 Sept 1974 [19 Oct 1973] 40082/74 Heading F2F A skid control circuit 20 for a vehicle axle has a power potential difference 25 and an associated checking circuit 22 which accepts a signal at an input terminal 22c and detects the potential to supply a signal at an output terminal 22d, the absence of such a signal providing for a warning of a malfunction. A multi-axled vehicle (e.g. tractor-trailer) has a series of such anti-skid circuits 20 fed by the power potential 25, each corresponding checking circuit 22 being mutually serially connected so that the output of one circuit is connected to the input of the succeeding circuit; if the potential at any circuit 20 fails, or any checking circuit 22 itself fails, the absence of an output at the last circuit 22 causes a warning device 18 to indicate a malfunction. Fig. 3 shows one embodiment of a checking circuit 22, the power potential being supplied across terminals 22a, 22b (the latter earthed) and the input at 22c. Here a transistor Q1 is rendered conductive to render a transistor Q2 conductive to supply at the output terminal 22d a signal a fraction of the power potential produced by a voltage dividing resistor combination R5, R6. Transistors Q3, Q4 are non-conductive under these circumstances but under malfunction conditions conduct to actuate the warning device 18, e.g. a lamp. Transistors Q3, Q4 may be in each circuit 22 or just in the last circuit. A transistor Q5 and a Zener diode Z1 shunt excessive current from transistors Q3, Q4 or voltage from a resistor R10 and a diode D2 if necessary. Alternatively, three series diodes may be coupled between the resistor R6 and the potential at 22b.

Apparatus for drafting staple fibres at high speed, comprises at least two pairs of rollers, at least one of the exit pair having surface apertures interconnected by an internal passage, and means for maintaining, in the fluid surrounding the material, a pressure that is lower on the exit side of the nip of the said pair than that on the inlet side, so that there is a flow of fluid from one side of the nip to the other through the apertures in the same direction as the material moves. In Fig. 4, the drafting apparatus comprises three pairs of rollers 32, 33, 38, 39 and 30, 31 with control aprons 34, 35, 45, 46 between consecutive pairs. After the final pair, there is an aspirator 41. The lower roller of the final pair has apertures through which air is drawn from one side of the nip to the other by the aspirator. In this way, fibres are prevented from being separated from the material by static or air-turbulence resulting from the high speed at which the rollers rotate. A guide twister may be positioned after the aspirator. The apertures may be provided, (a) by a series of grooves cut in the surface of the roller and arranged in rows, the grooves in adjacent rows being staggered, and each groove extending over part of the circumference but being long enough to bridge the nip, (b) a series of slots arranged laterally of the roller surface intercommunicating by a circumferential groove below them, the slots being cut or formed by spaced transverse bars.

Title: Radiating coaxial cable
IPC: H01Q13/20
Filed: 1974-09-20
Abstract: 1452017 Aerials TIMES WIRE & CABLE CO 20 Sept 1974 [25 Sept 1973] 41086/74 Heading H4A A radiating high frequency transmitting cable comprises at least one centre conductor; a solid dielectric material layer enclosing the conductor or conductors; at least one field perturbing element with electrical properties different from those of the dielectric layer embedded a predetermined amount in the surface of the dielectric layer so that a major portion of its length is angularly oriented with respect to the centre conductor or conductors, and an outer apertured conductor and radiation shield element enclosing the dielectric layer and field perturbing element for at least a portion of the length of the cable and being in contact with the field perturbing element, the aperture of the shield element leaving at least a portion of the field perturbing element and adjacent dielectric layer unshielded in an area of the cable covered by the shield element. As described, a single centre conductor 1 is provided with an insulating surround 2 of polythene or other suitable dielectric material. The field perturbing element 3 comprises one or more strands of aluminium wire coiled about, and embedded in, the surface of the insulation 2. In one embodiment an outer shield 7, Fig. 3, of thin aluminium foil is tightly wrapped around the cable, and provides a longitudinally extending radiating slot 8, which is crossed by successive turns of the element 3. An overall insulating sheathing may be provided. It is stated that the effect of the field perturbing element is to enhance radiation from the slot. In order to level up the intensity of radiation along the cable, the winding pitch of the perturbing element and/or its degree of embedment in the insulation may be systematically varied. Instead of a continuous radiating slot, an array of slots may be provided, each slot being crossed by the field perturbing element. In one embodiment, the outer shield is continuous save for an array of longitudinally disposed, spaced apart, rectangular slots (Fig. 7, not shown). In another embodiment, slots are formed at intervals in a conductive tape, which is then close wrapped over the perturbing element on the surface of the cable insulation. An array of angularly disposed slots is thus produced (Fig. 8, not shown). In another embodiment, the cable of Fig. 3, is further provided with a spirally wound conductive tape 10, Fig. 6, over the shield 7, whereby an array of slots is formed from the continuous slot 8. As is shown in Fig. 9, a loosely braided or discontinuous outer shield 15, can provide openings 16 which act as an array of slots.

Title: Electric stepping switch
IPC: H01H43/10
Filed: 1961-11-16
Abstract: 1,010,853. Time switches. W. HOLZER. Nov. 16, 1961 [Nov. 22, 1960], No. 41098/61. Heading H2B. A time-operated stepping programme control switch, for washing machines, for example, is arranged to render programme control contacts ineffective while unwanted portions of the programme are being stepped over. A synchronous motor (not shown) slowly drives a gear 61 via pinion 13 and steps 68 on cam 67 integral with gear 61 lift a lever 58 to permit a spring 133 to snap a cam 17<SP>1</SP> in anticlockwise increments. Steps 17a thus successively close contacts 45, 46, 26, 27. When a contact 26 or 27 (selected by programme contacts 36, 37) becomes energized from main supply line 40 via contact 46, a motor 29 starts running, since its winding 38 is connected to the other supply line 39. This motor 29 drives a programme control cam disc 3 operating contacts such as 10, 11, 12, 36, 37 and also drives a cam 30 relatively quickly. Lobe 30b on cam 30 pivots a bell-crank lever 32 to lift pinion 13 out of mesh with gear 61 whereupon spring 33 rapidly restores gear 61 clockwise until a projection 51 thereon abuts the arm 67 of a lever 48 and a pin 74 moves cam 17<SP>1</SP> back to a first zero position (as shown in Fig. 2). This do-energizes contacts 26 and 27, but motor 29 continues to run due to contacts 41, 42 being closed until cam 30 has performed one revolution, whereupon the programme disc 3 has been moved one step, and motor 29 stops. The process is then repeated, the time between programme steps being determined by selection of the contacts 26, 27 by contacts 36, 37 which are operated by the programme disc 3. During this normal operation contacts 45 and 46 are always closed and thus contacts 10, 11, 12 are effective in controlling devices such as valve 7 and relays 8, 9. However, when it is desired to pass over certain steps in the programme a contact 73 is closed, bridging contacts 41, 42, and motor 29 is continuously energized to perform as many steps of disc 3 and revolutions of cam 30 as desired. During this multi-stepping sequence the pinion 13 is oscillated but owing to its relatively slow drive cam 17<SP>1</SP> is effectively not driven; also a further lobe 60 acts on arm 56 of lever 48 to move the arm 57 clear of projection 51 and the lever 48 moves in the direction of arrow 55 under action of spring 54 (which is not strong enough to overcome spring 33). Projection 51 is now urged against a fixed stop 52 and gear 61 moves somewhat further clockwise than in a normal single step operation. This pushes cam 17<SP>1</SP> further clockwise to a second zero position (Fig. 3, not shown) and allows contacts 45, 46 to open, thereby rendering programme contacts 10, 11, 12 ineffective as regards the devices 7, 8, 9. Contact 73 is opened when the desired position of programme disc 3 is attained and motor 29 stops itself by opening contacts 41, 42; drive by pinion 13 then proceeds and arm 57 is urged down as soon as projection 51 clears it and when the gear 61 is next released the projection 51 pushes lever 48 back into the position shown in Fig. 2.
