Filed: 1971-05-10
Abstract: 1393527 Radiometer NEWCASTLE REGIONAL HOSPITAL BOARD F T FARMER and P O BYRNE 25 May 1972 [10 May 1971] 14062/71 Heading G1A A radiometer comprises a thermistor T coupled to a sheet of heat conducting material (copper) the other side of which is blackened and the thermistor T is connected in one arm of a bridge circuit, as shown. In operation the bridge is fed from a variable voltage source controlled by a Resistor R 1  and with no radiation falling on the radiometer resistance R is adjusted until the bridge is balanced, and the voltage across the thermistor is measured (the thermistor also serves as a heat source. After this preliminary adjustment the resistor R is not touched. Then the disc is exposed to radiation (to be measured) thereby altering the thermal conditions of the disc, and the resistance R 1  is adjusted until the bridge is rebalanced (and the thermistor achieves the initial resistance again). The voltage across the thermistor is again measured and the difference between the electrical power consumption of the thermistor under the two conditions is as determined from the two voltage measurements therefore a measure of the intensity of the incident radiation. The thermistor may be included in a tube with a quartz window.

Abstract: 1193583 Coating with Nb 3 Sn SIEMENS AG 25 March 1968 [30 March 1967] 14351/68 Headings H1A AS and A4D The super-conductor properties of a layer of Nb 3 Sn formed on a metal or ceramic support by hydrogen reduction of the gaseous halides of Nb and Sn, are improved by cooling the layer in a protective atmosphere of helium, argon, nitrogen or hydrogen from a temperature in the range of 600-1000C in a time of not less than one  minute. The hydrogen content of the layer is reduced to at least 0À5% atom and the Nb 3 Sn layer is preferably formed at 900-1000C. Instead of the slow cooling, an initially rapidly cooled layer may be heated for at least 30 seconds at 600-800C and then cooled to 300C in a time of not less than one minute. As shown in Fig. 4, a wire or tape 16 of (Registered Trade Mark) "Hastelloy B" is coated in chamber 3 by hydrogen reduction of chlorides of Nb and Sn formed in chlorinators 8 and 10. Heat-treatment is effected in chamber 4 the speed of the tape 16 being adjusted to produce the required coating rate.

An anti-vibration insert for insertion between flanges 13 of a high-pressure pipe-line comprises a rubber or stainless steel bellows 1 mounting coupling flanges 2 at each end for connection to the pipe-line flanges, a plurality of tie-rods 4 acting between the coupling flanges to counteract the high pressure forces in the bellows tending to separate the coupling flanges, and a resiliently deformable element 3 acting between at least one end of each rod and the adjacent coupling flange to damp out any vibrations which tend to be transmitted from one coupling flange to the other flange through the tie-rods. As shown, the elements comprise rubber pads inserted between nuts at the ends of the rods and the flanges 2. The pipe flanges are bolted to the respective coupling flanges with an asbestos or rubber sealing ring 12 interposed the flange faces, the coupling bolts being provided with rubber sleeves and washers 10 to provide further vibration damping. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the deformable elements comprise coiled compression springs 103 acting between one of the coupling flanges and nuts 108 at the tie-rod ends through interposed rubber washers and spring cups. Each tie-rod is rubber-sleeved and provided with a tubular spacer 113 acting between the coupling flanges so that the springs may be preloaded to equal the expected axial fluid pressure loads exerted on the bellows in service.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of phthalic anhydride
IPC: C07C51/31
Filed: 1930-05-12
Abstract: In the production of phthalic anhydride by the catalytic oxidation of naphthalene, the catalytic chamber is constructed of metals which do not readily oxidize under the reaction conditions such as nickel, or metals whose oxides are too weakly basic to form phthalates under the reaction conditions, such as aluminium; and it is desirable to have the catalyst free from the oxides of heavy metals.  Other suitable metals for the catalytic chamber are chromium, silver, nickel-chromium-iron alloys, chromium-iron alloys, silicon-iron alloys, and chromium-tungsten-cobalt alloys and also calorized iron. In an example, a nickel tube containing quarter-inch lumps of vanadium pentoxide is immersed in a lead bath at 450 DEG  C., and a mixture of naphthalene vapour and air in the ratio of 1 : 20 is passed through.  The phthalic anhydride produced contains no maleic acid, whereas if an iron tube were employed, the product would contain 5 per cent of maleic acid.

Abstract: 580,951. Spinning-mules. CLARKE, T. A. Aug. 3, 1944, No. 14804. [Class 120 (iii)] A wiping-down motion for the carriage and roller beam of a spinning-mule comprises an endless rope &c. D to which two separate wipers F, G, one for the the carriage and one for the roller beam, are attached, the endless rope &c. running from the freely-mounted pulley e of the control device E, about the pulleys a', a<2> between which it passes through a slotted tube a, hence about the pulley a', also on the carriage, then about pulleys b<1>, b<2> on the roller beam, between which it passes through a slotted tube b and then back to the control device. Attached to the pulley e is a toothed wheel e<2> with which a pawl h, pivoted to a lever h', co-operates. As the carriage is running in, the wire D will move along b moving the wiper G, the wire in a remaining unmoved. As the carriage runs outwardly, the wire in b remains stationary while the wire in a moves to operate the wiper F. When the wiper G has reached an endstop b<4>, the inward run of the carriage can no longer move it in the same direction as previously and the pawl h is forced over to allow opposite rotation of the wheel e. The motions of G and F are thus reversed until the other stop b<4> is reached when they are reversed again.
