Abstract: 780,804. Impedance networks. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. April 29,1955 [April 6, 1954], No. 10099/54. Class 40 (8) An input A and an output B are coupled by a pair of transmission units, e.g. waveguides 1, 2, which are interconnected at points spaced a whole number of wavelengths apart by similar 3 db. directional slot couplers 3, 4, Fig. 1A, and contain resonant structures 5, 6, e.g. diaphragms, situated midway between the couplers 3, 4. Energy at the resonant frequency of the structures 3, 4 is propagated from the input A to the output B, but energy which departs from this frequency is reflected by the structures and part of it is diverted from the output B to the output C. The structures 5, 6 may be ganged together to facilitate variation of the pass frequency. In a modification the slot couplers are replaced by " rat races " R1 R2, Fig. 2, which may be of the type described in Specification 673,957, [Group XL (c)]. The arrangement will function in the same manner as that of Fig. 1A if the diaphragms 5, 6 are positioned at distances along the guides 11, 2<SP>1</SP> from R1 which differ by an odd number of quarter wavelengths. In a modification of the arrangement of Fig. 2 the " rat races" are replaced by Magic Tee couplings. In the arrangement of Fig. 4 the parallel lines consist of coaxial cables 10, 11 and the couplings 12, 13 comprise pairs of water-wave stubs spaced by a quarter wavelength. The resonant structures consist of pairs of diaphragms 14, 15; 16, 17 spaced by a quarter wavelength. Specifification 619,521, [Group XL (c)], also is referred to.

Abstract: 419,064. Changing signs. GILL, S. C., and DALLAWAY, S., 102, Shoe Lane, London. April 6, 1933, No. 10298. [Class 3 (i).] In display apparatus comprising an inclined transparent sheet which allows an object at the rear to be seen directly or an object in front to be seen by reflection according to which is illuminated, the change of illumination being effected by a rotating shutter, the shutter has the effective form of a quarter of a sphere. The whole shutter member is in the form of a bowl 3 and if of transparent material has one half of its surface rendered opaque, and if of metal has an opening 5 cut out of one half, counterbalancing means being employed to enable it to ride evenly on its pivot 7. Vanes 10 are cut out of the top 4 of the bowl to enable it to rotate by air convection currents, and a ring 24 depends from a perforated plate 23 to prevent its oscillation. The pivot 7 is supported on wires 8 extending through an opening 11 in the base of the bowl 3 and attached to the top of the transparent sheet 1. One or more lamps 13 are mounted on the support 8, and reflectors 34, 35 are mounted above and in front of the lamp, and a baffle 18 is provided to shield the opening 11. A vertical plate 16, preferably blackened, and having an opening to accommodate the bowl 3, shields the object-containing compartments 19, 21 from stray light. A stationary display may be mounted in a window 22 to bo illuminated intermittently by the rotating bowl, or an inscription on the transparent portion of the bowl may be seen through a clear, or on a frosted, sheet at the window 22. Adjustable feet 25 serve to level the apparatus. In a modification, a cross-bar having a conical recess is fixed above the bowl, and elastic threads can be passed under the bowl to lift it off its pivot and to mate a cone on the top 4 into the recess for transport purposes.
