Title: Electrical indicating instrument

Filed: 1965-03-10
Abstract: 1,069,012. Electric meters; indicating apparatus. DOWTY ELECTRICS Ltd. March 9, 1966 [March 10, 1965], No.10100/65. Headings G1J and G1Q. Rectilinear displacement of the armature of a plunger-and-solenoid type electric meter is converted into angular displacement of an indicator, different portions of the indicator surface being observable through a viewing aperture in different positions of the armature. In Fig. 1 two solenoids 9 and 18, whose respective iron cores 6 and 12 serve as limit stops, act in opposite directions on the armature 21, which is guided in non-magnetic tubular inserts 7, 16. A rod 22 connects the armature to a lever 54, pivoted at 53; and steps 71, 72 Fig 3 (not shown) on this lever extend perpendicular to the plane of Fig. 1 and are engaged by a pair of oppositely acting springs 66, 67 Fig. 3 (not shown). These springs bias the lever and the armature to the central position shown in Fig. 1, but are overcome by the solenoids when energized. The armature thus has two definite end positions, on either side of the central position shown. In Fig. 9 (not shown) the solenoid 18 of Fig. 1 is omitted to provide a one-way instrument. Indicating. The lower end of the lever 54 acts on a rack member 59 which is meshed with drive pinions (not shown) on the shafts of a pair of indicators 44 and 45, Fig. 4. The indicators are triangular section prisms and their shafts extend perpendicular to the plane of Fig. 4 and in the plane of Fig. 1 to define pivot axes parallel to the rectangular faces of these prisms. The two prisms are rotated in the same sense and at the same rate when the rack member 59 is moved by the lever 54. It is arranged that prism faces 81, 82 are parallel to the viewing window 36 when the armature is in the Fig. 1 position and that faces 83, 84 and 85, 86 respectively take this parallel position in the end positions of the armature. The three faces of each prism may be distinctively coloured. The transparent window 36 has transparent legs 35 and lamps (not shown) in recesses 34 at the bases of these legs illuminate the indicator. Casing and mounting. The window 36 fits in a tube 2 secured by screws 88 to the main tubular casing 1 of the instrument. The instrument base is an insulator 27 supporting terminals 28 and 29 for the indicator lamps and for the solenoid energizing leads. The casing may be mounted on a suitably apertured panel 92 in which it is retained by a helical spring 93.

Title: Improvements in or relating to character recognition systems
Inventor: SARAGA PETER
IPC: G06V30/168
Filed: 1968-03-01
Abstract: 1,255,653. Character recognition. MULLARD Ltd. 3 Feb., 1989 [1 March; 1968], No. 10106/68. Heading G4R.  Character processing apparatus for use in character recognition applies an operator, consisting of a matrix of differently weighted points, to each point of a character digitized as a matrix of points (each having one of two values), in a scanning motion in which the operator points register with character points, parts of the character being removed. For line thinning, the operator points may have the weights:- the character point registering with the central operator point being changed from black (character) to white if the sum of the weights for the black points registering with operator points is greater than or equal to zero, the operator being scanned in a raster over the character matrix with operator orientations of 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees, in turn, repetitively until no further change occurs. For reducing the character to its outline (internal and external), the operator points have weights :- the scan occurring only once, with one orientation. The operator, or each orientation of it, is implemented as weighted resistors connected to stages of a shift register through which the digitized character, after noise reduction, is passed and feeding a threshold device via a summing junction. The operator circuits are inhibited at the character matrix boundaries by patterns of zeros (whites) in the shift register between successive character matrix rows, or by similar sequences of ones in a separate shift register, or by a shift counter. The weights may be chosen adaptively by presenting 3 Î 3 matrices of blacks and whites and specifying whether the central point should be changed from black to white. The weighted resistors may be adjustable to permit conversion between a thinning function and an outlining function.

Title: Process for the conversion of carbon monoxide to dioxide
IPC: C01B3/16
Filed: 1955-04-07
Abstract: In the catalytic conversion of a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and steam to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen, in which carbon monoxide-containing gas is humidified by spraying with hot water in excess which is thereby cooled, and the converted gas is cooled and dehumidified by spraying with the cooled water which is thereby reheated and thereafter returned to the humidifying stage, the excess cooled water from the humidifying stage is further cooled before being passed to the dehumidifying stage by being passed to the humidifying stage of one or more additional conversion processes. The excess water may be circulated from a high-pressure complete carbon monoxide conversion process first to a complete carbon monoxide conversion process operating at a lower or atmospheric pressure and secondly to a partial carbon monoxide conversion process operating at atmospheric pressure and then returned to the original high pressure complete carbon monoxide conversion process. Additional carbon monoxide conversion processes specified are the conversion of carbon monoxide in coal gas for ammonia and high-pressure benzene synthesis (complete conversion) and for alcohol and Fischer-Tropsch benzene synthesis (partial conversion).

Abstract: 1,055,806. Photographic cameras; exposure control systems. PENTACON DRESDEN, KAMERA-UND KINOWERKE VEB. March 13, 1964, No. 10680/64. Heading G2A. A camera lens diaphragm may be set manually or automatically. For automatic operation, the shutter drive ring 2 is rotated anticlockwise by means of lever. 3 until nose 4 is engaged by shutter release arm 5. Lug 6 on ring 2 engages lug 7 on diaphragm setting ring 1 which is thereby carried with ring 2 against spring-loaded sensing slider 11 to which it is linked by spring 12. When arm 5 is released, ring 1 and slider 11 follow the run-down of ring 2 due to spring 13, until cam 14 strikes pointer 15 of the galvanometer of a light meter. The diaphragm is then set. For manual operation independently of the light meter, mark 26 is set against aperture scale 25, so that cam 22 leaves catch lever 20 which is then spring- rotated until it abuts pin 18 on ring 1. When the shutter is released, pin 18 enters fork 19 whereby ring 1 is rotated by spring 21 until lever 20 touches control cam 22. If slider 11 is already against pointer 15, ring 1 is lifted away from the slider against the weaker spring 12. In a modification, lever 20 has a pin which enters a camming slot in member 24.
