Title: Method and equipment for forming a single cloud of radar reflecting chaff within the atmosphere
IPC: F42B12/70
Filed: 1972-07-11
Abstract: 1434034 Projectiles: ejecting bundles of radar-reflecting chaff F BENDER Ltd 11 July 1973 [11 July 1972] 32388/72 Headings F3A and F3C A cloud of radar-reflecting chaff is formed by ejecting bundles of radar-reflecting chaff from a projectile in flight. The projectile 10, Fig. 1, comprises a casing 11 and a nose 13 and has an aft portion 12 which houses propelling means (not shown). The casing 11 houses an explosive charge 15, a thrust disc 18 and a fuse assembly 16. The latter carries axially-spaced groups of explosive charges and supports an equal number of axially spaced groups of bundles 19 of radar reflecting chaff 20. Each bundle 19 is provided with a band 21 of stiff paper, for example, and with a fuse 22, Fig. 2. The fuse assembly 16 comprises a number of tubular elements secured together end to end. The end 17 is defined by an end tubular element 23 having a counterbore 24, a bore 26 and a screw-threaded boss 25 which is screwably attached to a tubular element 27. Each of the latter has a bore 29, a frusto-conical bore 31 and a bore 30. The bores 29 and 30 contain explosive material. Each element 27 has four circumferentially-spaced radial apertures 33 which communicate with its bore 29, the apetures 33 of alternate elements 27 being displaced angularly. Each band 21 has a metal inner arcuate portion with a projection 34 spigotted into the respective aperture 33 and each fuse 22 extends from the bore 29 into a stepped bore 35 which contains explosive material therein. In use the projectile 10 is launched and when it reaches the required position the explosive charge 15 is fired. This separates the nose 13 from the casing 11, ignites the explosive material in the bore 24 and forces the bundles 19 and the fuse assembly 16 out of the casing as shown in Fig. 1. The explosive material in the elements 23, 27 is ignited progressively and the respective bundle 19 disintegrates and the chaff is scattered within the atmosphere, the resultant cloud of chaff is substantially spherical.

Abstract: 1479937 Gasifying carbonaceous material FOSTER WHEELER CORP 24 July 1974 [30 July 1973] 32647/74 Heading C5E A process for gasifying a carbonaceous material comprises the steps of (a) gasifying a liquid hydrocarbon fuel by partial oxidation with an oxygen-containing gas in a generator 11, to produce a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, (b) mixing this gaseous mixture with a relatively cool, finely divided carbonaceous solid material delivered through a standpipe 12 (c) passing the gas/solid mixture, together with a carbonaceous feed material into a high velocity transfer line reactor 13 where the contact time of the feed and gas/solid mixture is 0À05-5 seconds to gasify the carbonaceous feed, the ratio of solid material to feed being at least 5 : 1, and (d) separating the solid material from the mixture obtained in the reactor to provide a high B.T.U. (greater than 400) gaseous product. The solid material separated from the gas/solid mixture is cooled in the solids cooler 14 and recycled to the solids standpipe 12. The gaseous mixture from the partial oxidation generator 11 has a temperature of 2000-3000‹ F and is cooled by contact with the solid carbonaceous material to 1500-2000‹ F., the temperature of the carbonaceous material being adjusted in the cooler 14 to give this temperature drop on mixing. The gaseous products obtained after separation of the solids are quenched, before leaving the solids cooler 14, to a temperature of 1000-1200‹ F. by the injection of cold quench liquor, and pass from cooler 14 to a separator 16 for the removal of high-boiling materials, through heat exchangers 18, 19 for further cooling (to # 300‹ F.) and to a quench tower 17 where final cooling to 100‹ F. occurs. Gas from the quench tower is passed to a conventional gas purification stage to remove acid gases, and may be methanated. The carbonaceous feed may be oil residues, natural gas, or waste oils.

Abstract: 756,530. Automatic tension-control systems. ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA AKTIEBOLAGET. Nov. 16, 1954 [Nov. 20, 1953], No. 33128/54. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XVI] A drive for a textile web dyeing jig in which the web to be treated is unwound from a driven beam 3 and is wound on another driven beam 4, the web being advanced by guide rollers driven by a motor and in which both beams 3, 4 are driven by separate electric motors, is characterized in that control means 21, 22 provided for each beam driving-motor, are sensitive to the web tension between the guide rollers and beams to ensure that the web is continuously unwound from one beam and rewound at substantially the same speed as the speed of advance of the web in the dyeing jig. As shown, a web 2 unwound from the beam 3 is, before being rewound on the beam 4, passed around rollers 9, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10, the rollers 9 and 10 being detector rollers which control the speed of rotation of the driven beams 3 and 4. The rollers 9 and 10 are journalled within links of chains 15 driven by sprockets 16 on stationary shafts 17, 18 and carrying counterweights 19 which tend to prevent movement of the rollers 9 and 10 in the direction of the arrows. The shafts 18 drive chains 20 which actuate the speed-control means 21, 22 associated with motors 13, 14. The speed-control means 21, 22 may be a rheostat in the excitation circuits of the motors 13, 14 or may effect brush displacement of the motors 13, 14. Should the motor 13 rotate too slowly, the roller 9 is forced down by the web 2, such that the control means 21, through the chain 20, causes the motor 13 to speed up. The speed of the motor 14 is similarly controlled. The direction of rotation of the motors 13, 14 is reversed by a timing or webmeasuring device. The rollers 5 and 8, coupled by a belt 11, are driven by a motor 12 which may also drive the rollers 6 and 7. In a modification, the roller 9 and 10 may be carried by levers on shafts which actuate the control means 21, 22.
