Title: Improvements relating to protective apparatus for poly-phase electricity distributing systems
IPC: H02H1/04
Filed: 1945-01-27
Abstract: 588,068. Protective cut-out arrangements. CHAMBERLAIN & HOOKHAM, Ltd., JAMES S., BRAINES, W. F., and SLINGSBY, S. Jan. 27, 1945, No. 2171. [Class 38 (v)] Apparatus for controlling a polyphase circuitbreaker, so that it opens in the event of a persistent earth fault but not in the case of transient earth currents, comprises two leakage-current carrying coils g, h, of which g has a pair of normally closed contacts i and is operable at a lower current than h, which has normally open contacts k, m, respectively in series with contacts i and shunted across coil g. On the occurrence of a fault, coils g, k, are energised, and first contacts i and then k, m, are operated, the closing of contacts m short-circuiting coil g, whereby contacts i reclose after a predetermined delay, and energise the trip circuit. Energisation of the latter by transient currents is prevented by the de-energisation of coil h before contacts i reclose. Operation of the apparatus by tranformer unbalance or through overload may be prevented by closure of contacts s of a third contactor r whereby the supply to coils g, h is shortcircuited.

Title: Process and apparatus for coding and testing an identification card
IPC: G07F7/08
Filed: 1978-01-23
Abstract: The identification card, here a credit card, bears information stored in two different ways. One type of information (IM) is recorded on a magnetic carrier (2) whilst the other type of information (IU) is formed by the position and orientation of reflex surfaces which are embedded in the card and are not accessible by mechanical sensing. The magnetically stored information (IM) is formed during the production of the card in accordance with cryptological methods from selected parts of the visually stored information (IU) and a secret code (IE1). At the same time, the magnetically stored information (IM) also contains further information, amounts of money or the like. During the testing of the card, the authenticity of the magnetically stored information is tested by means of the same secret information and the same selected parts of the visually stored information. <IMAGE>

A suitable coating for an ingot iron wire consists of 20 parts of basic slag, 10 parts of bauxite, 2 to 4 parts of freshly burnt lime, 20 parts of iron ore, mill or furnace scale, 4 to 2 parts of non-oxidizing oxide of manganese or like manganese bearing ore, such as hausmannite, 40 parts of silica of flour, ground and mixed with 45 to 50 parts of a solution of silicate of soda of a strength indicated by 60‹ (Twaddell). This composition may be varied within the limits of about plus and minus 5 per cent of each ingredient. A coating for high manganese steel rods may consist of the former mixture together with the addition of about 12 parts of a non-oxidizing oxide of manganese or like manganese bearing ore. An alternative coating may consist of 1 part basic slag, 2 parts silica, flour, 1/2 part freshly burnt lime, 1/2 part bauxite, 1 part of manganese bearing or manganiferous ore such as hausmannite, mixed with 2 to 2 1/2 parts of a solution of silicate of soda of density 60‹ (Twaddell). A further coating for high manganese steel rods consists of 1 part mill or furnace slag or scale, 1“ parts silica flour, “ part bauxite, ¢ part manganese bearing or manganiferous ore, such as hausmannite, 2¢ parts of silicate of soda.

Title: Improvements in or relating to metal-polymer compositions
IPC: C08K3/08
Filed: 1961-01-24
Abstract: Particles having a metal core partly or wholly encased in a shell of a polymer of an aliphatic 1-olefin monomer are made by treating a metal, a mixture of metals, or an alloy, except an alkali metal, with the components of a multicomponent catalyst system comprising a compound of a metal of Group IVb, Vb, VIb, VIIb, or VIII of the Periodic Table, and an organometallic compound of a metal of Group Ia, IIa, IIb, or IIIa of the Periodic Table and before the catalyst components have fully reacted, bringing the catalyst-treated particles into contact with the olefin until a shell of polymer has formed on the particles.  The Periodic Table referred to is the Periodic Chart of Elements from Fundamental Chemistry, 2nd edition, by H. G. Deming.  The treatment of the metal particles with the catalyst components is preferably effected in the presence of an inert organic diluent. The metal particles may be in the form of short filaments or fibres.  Exemplified metals are lead, boron, mercury, electrolytic copper powder, gold, magnesium, aluminium powder, finely divided sponge iron, nickel powder, iron-silicon alloy powder, stainless steel alloy powder, manganese powder, short copper filaments, and chromium powder. The 1-olefin may be ethylene, propylene, butene1, butadiene, or isoprene.  An extensive list of catalyst components is given in the Specification, and those exemplified are titanium tetrachloride and triethylaluminium, titanium tetrachloride and methyl magnesium bromide, and zirconium tetrachloride and methyl magnesium bromide. The coated particles may be moulded, cast or extruded into sheets or discs, used as paint additives, employed as magnetic compositions, or used, when the metal is lead, as a shielding material for gamma radiations or as a shielding material for beta radiation when the metal is aluminium. The coated particles may also be employed in powder metallurgy by igniting the polymer coating so that the metal sinters.

[Also in Group XXXII] A hydraulic pump supplying pressure liquid, e.g., to a ram in a road vehicle spring suspension system, comprises a pump body 10, Fig. 2, formed with a reservoir 12 and a bore 18 fitted with a screw-threaded sleeve 22 reciprocably mounting a pump plunger 24. The plunger 24 urged by a spring 28 into engagement with a cam 26 fixed on a spindle 14 oscillatable by a lever 16 is formed with a passage controlled by a ball valve 34 which opens on upward movement of the plunger. A ball valve 44 opens on downward movement of the plunger to deliver liquid into a conduit 50 connected to the ram cylinder. In another bore 20, a further screw-threaded sleeve 54 mounts a plunger 64 engaging a ball release valve 58 and urged by a spring 68 into engagement with a further cam 66 fixed to the spindle 14. The cams 26, 66 are arranged on the spindle 14 so that pressure liquid is -either supplied to or exhausted from the ram cylinder depending on the loading of the vehicle to maintain the vehicle in the same position relative to the ground. An overpressure valve fitted in a passage between the conduit 50 and the reservoir prevents the occurrence of hydraulic lock. In another embodiment, a pair of pump plungers 24, Fig. 4, are mounted side-by-side in bores 19 and co-operate with a single cam 27 fixed to the shaft 14. The valve 58 and its plunger 64 are replaced by a valve 82, Fig. 5, having a fluted stem 90 engaging a face cam 92 fixed to the spindle 14. Specification 867,514 is referred to.
