Title: Improvements in or relating to coffee-making machines
IPC: A47J31/40
Filed: 1960-10-14
Abstract: 934,152. Making coffee beverage. E. VALENTE. Oct. 14, 1960 [Oct. 14, 1959], No. 35257/60. Class 129. A disc 10, Fig. 2, is rotatable about a vertical axis through 90 degrees steps by a pawl 17 engaging ratchet teeth on the disc and mounted on a sleeve 18 connected to a link 19 actuated by a differential piston-and-cylinder 3, the disc 10 carrying axially movable sleeves 25 receiving at a station 21 powdered coffee from a dispenser 9 and at a station 22 infusion water from a distributer shown in elevational view at 13, Fig. 3, and which is also under the control of the cylinder 3 whose smaller chamber 3<SP>1</SP> is continuously under pressure from a water supply 41 and whose larger chamber 3<SP>11</SP> communicates with the supply 41 via a manually controlled valve 42 and a non-return valve 8. A sector plate 15 attached to the distributer 13 acts as a base for the filled sleeves 25 and has at the position 22 a chamber 7<SP>1</SP> containing a piston 29 acting as a beverage-dispensing nozzle and which presses the coacting sleeve 25 against a gasket 26 during infusion, when a valve 30 feeds water from a boiler 29 simultaneously via a duct 39 to the distributer outlet 34 and via a duct 32 to the chamber 7<SP>1</SP> to warm the piston 29<SP>1</SP> and lift it against a spring 28. Strainers 35, 30<SP>1</SP> are provided. Any used coffee not dropping from the sleeves 25 as soon as they clear the plate 15 is ejected at a station 23, Fig. 2, by depression of a spring-loaded piston 59, Fig. 3, which also locks the disc between its movement periods. Operation.-Depression of a handle 44, Fig. 3, against a spring 45 opens the valve 42, the handle being retained depressed by a spring latch 45<SP>1</SP>. Water pressure is consequently applied (a) to a cylinder 2 to move a spring- loaded piston 47, which opens an outlet valve of the dispenser 9 and fills a sleeve 25 at station 21, (b) to a cylinder 53 to lift the piston 59 and (c) via the non-return valve 8 to the chamber 3<SP>11</SP> to operatively move the piston 40 to the left, causing a lug 38 thereon firstly to temporarily close contacts 56 and energize a solenoid 55 to depress a coffee-consolidating presser 54 at station 21 and secondly, when the sleeve 25 has arrived at station 22, to open a valve 4 connecting the supply 41 to a cylinder 6<SP>1</SP> to lift a spring-loaded piston 6 which both opens the valve 30 to effect infusion and releases the latch 45<SP>1</SP> via a lug 58, thus allowing the handle 44 to close the valve 42 and open a vent valve 43. Subsequent leakage of water pressure from the chamber 3<SP>1</SP> via an adjustable by-pass 57 of the valve 8 allows return of the piston 40, whereupon a lug 50 thereon opens a vent valve 5 to allow the piston 6 to drop so as to close the valve 30 and open a distributer vent valve 37.

Title: Method for concentration and purification of beryllium values
Inventor: SURLS JOSEPH PLEAS
IPC: C22B35/00
Filed: 1963-09-11
Abstract: Beryllium is recovered from an aqueous acid solution at pH 0.4-2 by contacting the solution with a mono- or a dialkyl substituted orthophosphoric acid to form a separate organic phase containing a major proportion of the beryllium, which phase is separated off and contacted with a 4-9 molar mineral acid to effect removal of beryllium from the organic phase.  The organic phase may be contacted with a pH 4-8 solution of a chelating agent prior to the acid treatment to extract metals other than beryllium.  Beryllium salts obtained may be calcined to obtain the oxide.  The original acid solution may be an ore leachate and may be treated to reduce any Fe+ + + to Fe+ + prior to the organic extraction.

Patent GB-749796-A (GB)
Title: Intermediate magnetic core storage
IPC: G11C11/06
Filed: 1953-12-30
Abstract: 749,796. Circuits employing bi-stable magnetic elements. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Dec. 30, 1953 [Jan. 2, 1953], No. 36171/53. Class 40 (4). [Also in Group XIX] In a storage device comprising a magnetic core matrix having sets of row and column windings, read-in is effected by successively energizing the row windings and selectively energizing the column windings and read-out by successively energizing the row windings in a direction contrary to that for read-in, arrangements being provided for detecting the changing of state of a core in response to the contrary energization of said row windings and for enabling information to be repeatedly readout. The wiring of a column of the matrix is shown in Fig. 5, each column winding 12 consisting of several turns common to all the cores 10 in the column, and each row winding 11 consisting of single turns, one per core of the row. Before reading in " each core is set to a " zero " state by passing a large current through each of the row windings. Information is then transferred from a punched card to the matrix by successively energizing the rows of the matrix via a commutator 32, Figs. 1, 2, in synchronism with the sensing of rows of the card, and energizing columns of the matrix by the sensing of holes in the card, each sensing brush being in series with one column winding of the matrix. For " read-out " a commutator 48, by successively firing a set of 12 thyratrons 53, causes successive pulsing of the rows of the matrix. These pulses are sufficiently large to cause any core storing information to return to its " zero " state and to induce a pulse in its column winding which fires one of a set of 80 thyratrons 69, thus energizing one of a set of 80 electromagnets 40, whose differentially timed energizations therefore represent the content of the store. The current flow through the earthed winding 11, wire 64, resistor 63, tube 53, anode load 61 to a positive H.T. supply 500, caused by the firing of a thyratron 53, in addition to pulsing the row winding 11 also sends a pulse through a condenser 84 to fire a thyratron 87. Current then flows from a negative source 56 through resistor 92, tube 87, resistor 90, wire 64 to the earthed winding 11 until the tube 87 is extinguished by the voltage dropped across its cathode resistor 92. Each step of the commutator 48 therefore causes two successive oppositely directed pulses to flow in each row of the matrix, the first of which is employed for " read-out " while the second is used for immediately re-entering the information read out. For this latter purpose a condenser 81 and resistor 80 are connected between the grid and anode of the tube 69, so that when that tubo fires, as a result of an induced voltage in the column winding 12, the condenser 81 discharges and supplies a " readin pulse to the winding 12. This pulse together with that from tube 87 effects the reentry of the information read out.

IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1961-10-09
Abstract: 989,337. Automatic exchange systems. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Sept. 27, 1962 [Oct. 9, 1961], No. 36201/61. Heading H4K. In an exchange system having cross-bar switches arranged in ranks A, B, C, each rank containing a plurality of switches, the connection is established by operating, in each rank, corresponding select magnets of all switches of that rank and operating the hold magnet of the last switch to extend over the operated cross-point an operating circuit for the hold magnet of the previous switch and so on. The circuit shown relates to a system in which the switches of ranks B and C have both horizontal and vertical multiples, but the switches of rank A have only vertical multiples, the individual 10 x 10 contacts being connected respectively to 100 subscribers. The verticals of each switch are connected to horizontals of the succeeding switches and the horizontals of rank C switches are connected to feed-bridge circuits. The verticals are associated with hold magnets and the horizontals with select magnets. To effect a connection over switches A2, B2, C6 to a feed-bridge circuit, in each rank corresponding select magnets for all switches are operated. Thus select magnets A1/S1 (not shown), A2/S1 ..., B1/S10 (not shown), B2/S10 ... and C1/S9 (not shown ... C6/S9 are all operated. Earth applied to lead C6/V1/W energizes H1 to operate the crosspoint CP1/9 which reverts earth from the hold magnet contact to operate hold magnet B2/H6 of the preceding switch and so on. All the select magnets are then released. The arrangements is suitable for a sectionalized exchange of the type described in Specification 989,336.
