Title: Tidal power device uses long pipeline to produce airflow
Inventor: NEWTON ALAN
IPC: F03B13/26
Filed: 2009-03-24
Abstract: A tidal power system consists of a long pipeline 1 made up of a series of pipes 2 arranged parallel to the tide line and shore line and connected at their ends with 180 degree bends 3. The pipeline 1 extends from a low tide to high tide positions, so that the water fills and empties the pipe as the tide changes. An airflow is therefore produced which powers a multi blade wind turbine 9. The pipeline is connected to the turbine via a diffuser 7 which may draw in additional air (see figure 6). The increased length of the pipeline 1 increases airflow velocity compared with a similar pipe which runs straight between low and high tide positions.

Title: Improvements in or relating to signal re-coding apparatus
Inventor: DUKE KEITH ALBERT
IPC: G06F3/08
Filed: 1961-03-20
Abstract: 925,382. Statistical apparatus recorders. INTERNATIONAL COMPUTERS & TABULATORS Ltd. Feb. 21, 1962 [March 20, 1961], No. 10037/61. Class 106 (1). Data derived from a record card or tape by a reader 1 as one or two differentially-timed pulses on each column sensing lead 2, is receded by entering a code group representing a first pulse in the corresponding stage of register 14 and by entering a " numeric " indicator group in the corresponding stage of register 15, the " numeric " indicator group being replaced by an " alphabetic " indicator group if a second pulse occurs on the associated lead 2. Each column of a card is punched in one row to represent numerical data, or in two rows to represent alphabetic data. On sensing, row " 9," a pulse is obtained from the sensing brushes of reader 1 which detect a perforation, and the corresponding stages, e.g. bi-stable circuits or magnetic cores, of shift register 3 are set. At the same time, binary coded signals representing " 9 " are supplied to register 5 by cam-operated switches 7. The contents of register 3 are then shifted out, and for each shift, the contents of register 5 are recirculated and applied to gate 16. Under control of comparator 19, each " 1 " from register 3 causes the code group " 9 " to be entered in shift register 14, and concurrently a "numeric " indicator group is entered in shift register 15 from a generator 35. A similar process occurs when each of rows 8-0 are sensed, except that a different code group is entered in register 14 from register 5, and any code and numeric indicator groups already stored in registers 14, 15 are re-circulated and re-entered via gates 22, 28 under control of comparator 19 and the output of register 3. When a second hole is sensed in a column, the corresponding stage of register 3 is set for the second time, and on shifting out register 3, comparator 19 detects the coincidence of the " 1 " from that stage of register 3 and the numeric " indicator group from the corresponding stage of register 15. Gates 22, 24 are then opened by comparator 19, so that the code group shifted out from register 14 is reentered, but the " numeric " indicator group from register 15 is replaced by a " zone " or " alphabetic " indicator group from register 11, the latter being set by cam-operated switches 12. Specification 425,838 is referred to.

Abstract: 987,076. Gas blast switches. ETABLISSEMENTS MERLIN & GERIN S.A. March 15, 1963 [March 19, 1962], No. 10304/63. Heading H2B. A circuit braker having a tubular arc passage 17 with gas evolving walls is provided close to the fixed contact 12 with a de-ionizing device 19, comprising closely spaced laminae, disposed at the entry to a gas accumulator 18. The arc releases gas in the passage 17 which is still closed by the moving contact 11 and it therefore flows through the cooler 19 to the accumulator 18. As soon as the moving contact 11 clears the end of passage 17 the gas escapes from the accumulator, again passing through the cooler, and extinguishes the arc. To prevent excessive pressures the passage 17 is apertured at 21. An electrode ring 22 connected by a resistor 23 to the fixed contact limits the restriking voltage. In the modification of Fig. 3 the aperture 21 is closed by a pressure sensitive valve 24 which carries an armature 28 attracted by a magnetic core 29 energized by the arc current and thus prevented from opening under gas pressure until a zero of the A.C. In an alternative form (Fig. 4, not shown) the moving contact is hollow and passage 17 contains a rod of gas envolving material, such as polyoxymethylene. The whole switch may be immersed in SF 6  the gas evolving surfaces being of P.T.F.E.

Abstract: 1338146 Fuel elements NUKEMNUKLEARCHEMIE UND-METALLURGIE GmbH 21 April 1971 [22 April 1970] 10346/71 Heading G6C A nuclear fuel body comprises fuel particles, e.g. UO 2 , UC 2 , (Th, U)O 2  or (Th 1 U)C 2  cores coated with pyrolytic carbon and SiC embedded in a graphite or carbon matrix, the matrix consisting of ultra-fine graphite with a grain size of less than 20Á. Optionally, up to 50% by weight of the matrix may consist of carbon powder, e.g. carbon black, with a particle size of less than 1Á in admixture with the graphite. The graphite and carbon powder are quasi-structureless (i.e. without any preferential orientation) in the internal structure of the individual grains and are processed into the fuel body without any preferential orientation. The result is to avoid the pronounced anisotropic dimensional changes which occur in anisotropic graphites, also the anisotropic dimensional changes and damage which occur in so-called isotropic but microscopically still anisotropic graphite bodies, because the graphite or carbon powder used in this invention shows, in the grain itself, hardly any preferential orientation.

Abstract: 380,744. Worm-gearing. SCHOENING, H., 23, Franziskanerweg, Frohnau, Berlin.-(Assignee of Roboma Maschinenfabrik H. Schoening; 51, Spandauerstrasse, Borsigwalde, Berlin.) April 12, 1932, No. 10487. Convention date, Nov. 14, 1931. [Class 80 (iv).] In worm-gearing, the worm a is relieved from axial thrust due to overload by the disengagement of a clutch r, o, normally coupling the driving shaft s and the worm shaft n, on the shearing of pins i, k which normally prevent the telescopic movement of elements g, h due to the axial pressure in the gearing. A screw cap m which maintains these elements in the lower bearing e can be removed for the insertions of fresh pins. A ball thrust bearing f is interposed between the shaft n and the element g. If after the insertion of fresh pins, the teeth of the clutch r, o do not engage, the member r yields and re-engagement is brought about by the operation of a hand-wheel v connected to the shaft n by spur gearing.
Patent GB-105430-A (GB)
IPC: G05D13/08
Abstract: 105,430. Clayton & Shuttleworth, and Bretherton, F. J. May 4, 1916. Cam gears. - In a steam-engine of the kind in which poppet valves are actuated by cams on a shaft capable of being moved longitudinally to vary the cut-off, the adjustment of the cam shaft c is affected by a governor mounted on the shaft. One pair of governor arms l is connected to the shaft and the other pair k to the sleeve h driven by the crank-shaft d through screw gearing. The shaft c passes through the sleeve, and its movement is resisted by an adjustable spring n. The inlet cams are so formed that, in all positions of the shaft, they open the inlet valves at the same moment in the cycle of the engine; but their cutoff faces are arranged so that, the farther they are moved towards the crank-shaft, the earlier the cut-off takes place.
