Title: A method of submerging and positioning constructions on the bed of deep waters and a pontoon for executing the method
IPC: E02D15/08
Filed: 1963-12-02
Abstract: 980,575. Subaqueous foundations. M. LASSEN-NIELSEN. Dec. 2, 1963 [Nov. 30, 1962], No. 47504/63. Heading E1H. [Also in Division B7] A method of positioning a construction unit 7 on the bed of deep water includes the use of a pontoon (see Division B7) having sufficient buoyancy to carry the construction unit 7 suspended therefrom, wherein the pontoon is moored to anchors 8 on the bed by chains 9 co-operating with winches 11 such that when the chains are hauled in, the pontoon and construction unit are submerged. As shown for loading, the cross-boom 14 is raised by gantry cranes 13. At one end the suspension of the boom 14 is from a nut 15 engaging a screw shaft 16 and at the opposite end by a chain 18 passing over a fixed pulley 19. The construction unit 7 is attached to the boom 14 by hooks 21. When the construction unit thus hooked on is ready to be lowered, the buoyancy of the pontoon is regulated by means of ballast tanks 2 and 3. to ensure that anchor chains 9 remain vertical and permit the hauling down of the pontoon by hauling in the chains 9. The cranes are then set to lower the boom 14 so that construction unit 7 will hit the bed before the pontoon. When the unit is in position on the bed hooks 21 are opened e.g. by pulling cords 22 and the pontoon is then refloated by slacking the anchor chains. The pontoon may be fitted with wheels and driving mechanism in order to more exactly position the anchors on the bed prior to loading the unit 7.

A similar apertured disc 14 is rotated by a gear 10 turning at a speed proportional to the vehicle speed to produce a pulse signal at terminal 64. This signal is used to drive the motor 40, and the two pulse signals are compared to produce a correction input to the motor if their frequencies differ.

Abstract: 1365368 Cryostats KERNFORSCHUNG mbH GES FUER 14 Oct 1971 [14 Oct 1970] 47903/71 Heading F4H A cryostat for use in cooling superconducting magnetic coils to very low temperatures for ionoptical devices, comprises a double-walled tube 2 having thermal insulation 3 and a doublewalled tube 4 having an evacuated interior space 5; the surfaces 6 of the tubes 4 being coated with a metallized plastics material foil which prevents the escape of gas. The space between the double-walled tubes 2 and 4 is cooled with liquid nitrogen 7 over which a nitrogen atmosphere 8 is formed. A closure member 13, which is formed so as to be capable of acting as an interconnecting member between two cryostats when connected in series or between a cryostat and an end piece when located at the end of an arrangement, is secured to the double-walled tubes by screws 17. The body to be cooled, shown as consisting of a hollow winding support 18 and a coil arrangement 19, is surrounded by liquid helium 20 over which a helium atmosphere 21 is located. A vacuum chamber 22, supported on the winding support 18 is located adjacent the closure member 13. When the member 13 is located at the end of an arrangement, on additional thermal insulating space in the form of an end-piece 37 is provided. The closure member 13 consists of three discs 24, 25, 26 connected with one another by adhesive. Bores and passages are provided in the discs to supply and exhaust liquid helium and liquid nitrogen to the spaces 20, 7 respectively. Electrical current is supplied to coil via energy supply conduits which extend in the plane of the closure member 13 in a similar manner to the bores and passages. Since the closure member is of a highly insulating material and the conduits do not pass through the jacket of the cryostat, then the formation of heat bridges is avoided.

Abstract: 1,117,988. Making multi-layer cylindrical anodes; jointing. SIEMENS A.G. 7 Nov., 1966 [6 Nov., 1965], No. 49856/66. Headings B3A and B3V. A process for making a multi-layer composite cylindrical member includes the steps of spraying a metallic cylindrical member with insulating material to form a tube therearound and shrinking into the tube a metallic tube by means of localized progressive heating and tensile stressing. The anode of a thermionic diode is formed by a tube 1 on which is sprayed a layer of aluminium dioxide 3 in a plasma spraying process, which layer is subsequently ground to size. The coated tube is positioned in an outer tube 2 which is locally heated by a highfrequency inductor 4 and stressed in tension by a load P. The tube 2 is plastically deformed in the hot zone and is fitted closely on to the tube 1, 3. The tube 2 may be of niobium in the case of thermionic converters and the insulating material may alternatively comprise ZrO 2  or BeO. The ceramic layers are sealed at the ends of the tubes by, for example, vitrifying or enamelling. The tube may be built up of any number of layers and the tube 1 may be replaced by a rod of solid material. It may be desirable to degasify the sprayed on ceramic layers in a vacuum and to apply the subsequent metal layer in a vacuum or protective atmosphere.

At relatively low flow rates the blades 36 close the openings 34 except for groove type orifices 42. When the pressure drop across the turbine 32 exceeds a predetermined value the blades move to progressively permit increased flow through the openings 34. Initially the blades 36 simultaneously function as valves and variable angle turbine blades. After they have moved so that the angle is e.g., 45 degrees or greater they function only as variable angle turbine blades. By varying the orifice sizes, the springs 40 and their points of attachment, a variety of turbine speed versus flow-rate curves can be produced.
