Abstract: 628,578. Crown stoppering machines; capping heads. MAREK, A. J. Sept. 12, 1946, No. 27436. [Class 125(ii)] The capping head of a machine for applying to containers "crown" stoppers made in accordance with Specification 612,040, has a stopper receiving throat 12 in which a stopperengaging plunger 11 reciprocates, and is characterized in that the throat is corrugated completely around its circumference where it engages the bead on the stopper, the corrugations running in the general direction of the length of the throat. The throat comprises a detachable annulus 12 having corrugations 20, 21, Fig. 2 and is held in position upon the casing 10, Fig. 1, by a cap 13 carrying studs 14 which have lateral notches near their upper ends which are engaged by a securing ring 15, which is cut away as shown at 16, Fig. 2, so as to permit it to be brought down opposite the notches in the studs 14 and when turned to engage the latter. The ring 15 is cam shaped, Fig. 2, to provide a wedging action when turned. The sides of the corrugations may be parallel as shown in Fig. 2 or may be radial, and may have square or round corners. The widths of the troughs may be equal to or greater or narrower than the widths of the crests. The inner face of the annulus 12 may be cylindrical, conical or part cylindrical and part conical, and may have a rounded lower edge. The troughs of the corrugations extend the whole depth of the annulus and have extending into them ribs 110 provided upon the spring controlled plunger 11. Specifications 327,522, [Class 125(ii)], and 436,618 also are referred to.

Abstract: 899,764. Coating with metals; metals cleaning. AMERICAN RADIATOR & STANDARD SANITARY CORPORATION. Aug. 9, 1960, No. 27602/60. Class 82(2). [Also in Group XXXVI] The side edge portions of aluminium ribbon are rendered solderable, so that they may be soldered to other materials, e.g. copper tubes of heat transfer coils, by providing the ribbon in a roll 10 having a plurality of convolutions 12 (see Fig. 1), the roll having side surfaces formed by the edge portions of the ribbon, applying a zinc coating over the entire side surfaces of the roll such as by immersing the roll in a dilute solution of sodium zincate (zinc oxide and caustic soda), and thereafter applying a coating of solderable metallic material over the zinc coating, such as by electroplating copper, tin, bronze or silver, whereby when the roll is unwound only the side edges will be coated with the solderable material. As shown in Fig. 4, after the ribbon is washed and dried, it may be slit longitudinally to form two strips of ribbon having the solderable material coated on only one side edge. Preferably prior to applying the solderable coating the zinc coated roll is electroplated first with copper (copper strike in Fig. 3). Also prior to zinc coating the surface of the roll may be cleaned by immersing it in a solution of 3% sodium carbonate and 3% sodium phosphate; two coatings of zinc may also be applied, the first one being removed by nitric acid (see Fig. 3).

Title: Bleaching cellulose fibres
IPC: D06L4/70
Filed: 1951-11-27
Abstract: Cellulose, e.g., cotton fibres are bleached by exposing them to a solution of a per-compound which is rendered latent or inactive until the solution has penetrated the fibres, and thereafter activating the solution to bleach the fibres.  The solution may be rendered inactive by keeping its temperature below its decomposition temperature and activated by raising the temperature, or it may be rendered inactive by means of a buffering agent such as sodium silicate and activated by adding an activator such as an alkali.  Examples are given of the bleaching of light grey and grey cotton fibres by each of these methods. The process may be preceded by a preliminary bleaching with hypochlorite or a peroxide, and a scouring.

Title: Improvements in or relating to frequency modulated radar systems
IPC: G01S13/34
Filed: 1951-11-29
Abstract: 701,839. Frequency modulated radar. COM PAGNIE GENERALE DE TELEGRAPHII SANS FIL. Nov. 29, 1951 [Dec. 26, 1950], No 28048/51. Addition to 671,146. Class 40 (7) Relates to a frequency modulated radar system as disclosed in the parent Specification in which the transmitter frequency EM increases linearly from Fo to Fo + #F and the delayed echo signal E1 is heterodyned with a signal whose frequency Co increases linearly from (Fo + np) to (Fo + np + #F - A f), i.e. its rate of change of frequency is less than that of EM, so that the frequency of the beat note decreases during the modulation cycle, the time T at which it becomes equal to np, i.e. the difference between the initial frequencies of Co and EM, being dependent on the range of the reflecting object. The time T is given by the intersection of lines E1 and C<SP>1</SP>o, the latter being obtained by displacing line Co downwards by an amount np, and the time is measured by applying the beat note to a filter timed to frequency np and applying the filter output to the Y plates of a cathode-ray tube whose horizontal timebase is synchronized with the modulation cycle. As shown the lines E1 and C<SP>1</SP>o will only intersect if the echo time is less than t1 and according to the present invention the initial frequency of Co and its frequency deviation are adjustable so that a response is produced by a target having an echo time within the limits ta#tb where the internal (ta-tb) is determined by the frequency deviation of Co and the initial time ta is determined by its initial frequency. Thus if the heterodyne signal has a frequency variation C1, the indicator will be responsive to echo signals between the limits E1 and E2 corresponding to echo times t1 and t2 and for a frequency variation C2 the corresponding limits are E2-E3 and t2-t3. As in the parent Specification the heterodyne signal Co is produced, Fig. 3 (not shown), by heterodyning the transmitter signal EM with a signal No having a frequency variation np#(np- #f) which is produced by heterodyning the outputs from (a) an unmodulated oscillator, and (b) an oscillator which is frequency modulated synchronously with the transmitter, the required adjustment of Co being effected by adjusting the frequency of (a) and the frequency deviation of (b).
