Title: Apparatus for sensing variations in a linear dimension of a moving web
IPC: B65H23/02
Filed: 1959-04-16
Abstract: 881,966. Voltage measurement. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. April 16, 1959 [April 17, 1958], No. 12971/59. Class 37. [Also in Groups XXXVIII and XL (c)] A comparator for determining if a voltage (of the order of 20 kc/s.) exceeds a predetermined level has means for rejecting transient peaks above the level and showing only a sustained increase in amplitude. The signal at 61 from a width-measuring transducer (see Group XXXVIII) is applied to the base of a commonemitter transistor 140 in conjunction with a fixed bias from 46 applied through a rectifier 134. Any negative peaks which exceed the bias are amplified and charge up a capacitor 152. After each peak the capacitor discharges through a common-base transistor 142 and charges an integrating capacitor 162 ; a succession of peaks will lift the collector potential above the bias level applied through rectifier 164 and give a voltage output via the NPN common-base transistor 144 and commonemitter output transistor 146. The control 154 can be set so that a single large pulse may or may not give an output, as desired, but an output will always be obtained for a succession of pulses from transistor 140 whatever their amplitude.

Title: Improvements in the cooking of drying oils and varnishes
Filed: 1936-05-08
Abstract: <PICT:0476563/III/1> For the cooking or polymerization of drying oils and varnishes which contain gums or resin dissolved therein, in closed kettles, a portion of the oil is withdrawn intermittently at frequent intervals, during the cooking and is subjected in a separate vessel while still hot to distillation in vacuo and then returns to the kettle.  Undesirable volatile substances such as free fatty or resin acids and hydrocarbons are thereby continuously removed during the process.  The whole body of the oil passes through the distillation several times during the polymerization process.  Oil is heated at 280--300 DEG  C. in a closed aluminium stand oil kettle A provided with stirring gear B and froth breaker C.  An upper dome is connected through an overflow pipe D to a vessel E vented to the atmosphere.  During heating, carbon dioxide is admitted through a pipe J.  A pipe N having a valve P passes from the lower part of the kettle to a distillation chamber R maintained at 1 to 10 mm. of mercury pressure, which is connected through a wide pipe V to a condenser W and vacuum pump Y.  Atmospheric pressure in the kettle forces the oil through the pipe N and flows in a thin film over a conical distributer S, and then returns through a pipe T and large capacity pump U to the kettle.  Vapours pass to condenser W and collect in a receiver X.  The pipe V is provided with an internal gutter Z to collect the reflux which flows into X.  Valve P and pump V are so adjusted that the whole oil circulates through R two or three times an hour.  The treated oil is finally drawn off through a pipe K and pump L.
