Abstract: 1,204,890. Settling tanks. K. CAHN. 2 Nov., 1967, No. 49847/67. Heading B1D. A settling tank 4 is interposed between a fuel storage tank 1 and a pump supplying the fuel to the burner of a heating installation, to separate water and solids from the fuel. Tube 3 may open to the lowest part of the sloping floor of tank 1 or may have spaced openings along a flat floor (Fig. 2, not shown), to ensure that water and solids settling in tank 1 are carried into tank 4 with fuel. In Fig. 1, tank 4 has a drain outlet 6, 7 into a filter 14, and inspection window 8 has a mark 9 representing highest desirable water level. Outlet valve 10, leading by pipe 11 to the pump, opens near the sloping floor 5, above mark 9, and a normally closed air outlet 12 is included. In Fig. 3 (not shown), valve 10 is half way up tank 4, which has a flat bottom, and water and solids are periodically removed by an auxilliary, mobile pump and filter connected to a pipe which is inserted through air outlet 12. In Figs. 4, 5 (not shown), tank 4 is of oval cross-section, and valve 10 is located at the highest point on the tank, which may slope, so that air cannot accumulate therein. The tank 4 is made of polyethylene, in one piece, and has a manometer (22), which is removable to enable water and solids to be withdrawn as in Fig. 3. Tank 4 would be mounted on a wall upstream of the burner.

The latter is anodized to form a porous oxide film 6 (Fig. 1c) using electrolytic chromic acid, and a photoresist 12 is applied to mask areas other than those upon which separate electrodes are to be formed. Further anodization of the unmasked film 6 by electrolysis in ethylene glycol and ammonium borate forms a composite oxide film 7. After removal of the photoresist 12 (Fig. ld) using film 7 as a mask, the remaining part of the aluminium film 5 covered with porous film 6 is converted by electrolysis in dilute H 2 SO 4  into porous oxide film 8 through its entire thickness to divide the aluminium film 5 into separate regions. Using film 5 covered with oxide 7 as a mask, the unmasked portions of Ta film 4 and Al film 3 underlying are anodically oxidized by electrolysis in aqueous ammonium citrate into tantalum oxide 9 and aluminium oxide 10 (Fig. 1f) Thereafter the device is heat treated to stabilize the oxides, establish good conduct between the laminated electrodes and the semi-conductor, and openings for electrodes leads are formed at 11 in film 7.

The pen 3 forms an electrode for use with a discharge destruction or electrolytic type of recording paper. The paper is moved steadily under the recording station. The pen is moved directly from one plotting position to the next, and may record intermittently, Fig. 1, or continuously, Fig. 2.  In Fig. 1, when a record spot is plotted, the signal from a coincidence circuit 6 also resets a counter 4 and turns the Q sides of flip-flops 14, 15 to HIGH to close gates 11, 12, stopping the motor 2. The reversible counter 41 continues to provide an output corresponding to the position of the pen 3. A trigger pulse 43 from a trigger pulse generator 43 causes the subtraction circuit 42 to compare the measurement input with the reversible counter output signal to provide a difference signal to the coincidence circuit 6 and an UP or DOWN signal to flip-flop 14 or 15 respectively, opening gate 11 or 12 to energize the motor 2 to move the pen towards its new plotting position. The motor drive pulses are counted by the counter 4, and when the count output of the latter equals the difference signal from the subtraction circuit 42, the coincidence circuit emits a signal to cause the pen 3 to mark a spot on the paper, and to reset the counter 4, &c.  In Fig. 2, the pen position, as indicated by the count output of the reversible counter 41, is continuously compared with the measurement input and the motor 2 driven accordingly. The pen 3 is energized continuously to give a continuous record.
