Abstract: 795,189. Electric tests. SIMMONDS AEROCESSORIES, Ltd. Sept. 5, 1955 [Sept. 6, 1954], No. 25853/54. Class 37. A liquid contents gauge capacitor comprises a support of dielectric sheet material and a plurality of thin narrow ribbons of conducting material pro viding the plates of the capacitor. The ribbons run all in the same direction and are secured to the support along their length. The thickness of each ribbon is of the order of a few thousandth of an inch or less. In Fig. 1, thin narrow conductive ribbons 5 run the length of an insulating strip 2 bonded to an insulating strip 3. The ribbons 5 are connected to a coaxial cable connector 6 and tabs 4 on strip 3 secure the assembly on to a wall of a flexible fuel tank for an aircraft. Screening wire may be wound around the strip, Figs. 2 and 3 (not shown), or strip 2 may be threaded into a metal cage comprising transverse strips alternately above and below strip 2, Fig. 4 (not shown). Fig. 5 shows a capacitor strip 20 (e.g. as in Fig. 1), wound around a flexible insulating tube 21 which surrounds a second tube 22. After assembly in a fuel tank a setting resin may be introduced between the tubes 21, 22 to rigidify the assembly. In a modification of Fig. 5 the capacitor strip 20 is wound on the inside surface of the inner tube 22, Fig. 6 (not shown). A further example, Fig. 7, utilizes a capacitor strip 31 mounted taut within a metal screening tube 32 by spacer clips 33. The top of the tube 32 carries a cap moulding 34 with a coaxial cable connector 35. In Fig. 8 a capacitor strip 40 is wound on the outside of a paper-base tube 41 having longitudinal spring ribs 42 which space the strip 40 slightly from the tube 41. In an alternative form of this unit the capacitor strip 40 is wound inside a paper-base tube. The embodiment illustrated in Fig. 9 comprises a capacitor strip 50 wrapped about a paper base tube 51 so that the conductive ribbons 52 run parallel to the tube axis. A collector ring 54 is provided at the upper end of the tube 51. The capacitor strip could alternatively be wrapped within the tube. A second tube may be arranged within tube 51 and the assembly rigidified by a setting resin. The relation between capacitance and volume may be made linear by varying the pitch in the case of wound units (e.g. as in Fig. 8) or by varying the width of the capacitor strip (e.g. as shown in Fig. 9).

Abstract: 1,007,734. Burning waste sludge. DORROLIVER Inc. July 6, 1962 [July 10, 1961], No. 25974/62. Heading F4B. Waste sludge from sewage or industrial plants is burnt in a fluidized bed of particulate inert material at a temperature above 650 C. but below the fusion temperature of the bed, and the rate of supply of sludge and combustion air are controlled to ensure complete oxidation of the organic solid content of the sludge. The sludge is fed by a pump 20 to a centrifuge 21 where it is thickened, and fed by pipe 22 below the surface of a fluidized bed 12. The combustion gases pass through a heat exchanger 23 to a scrubber 26 to remove dust. Air from a blower 15 is fed to the wind box 14 below the bed support 11 at a rate controlled in accordance with the supply of sludge and the oxygen content of the flue gases. Part of the air is preheated in the exchanger 23, the proportion of preheated air being regulated to maintain the bed temperature between 650 and 870 C. The plant is started by burning liquid fuel in the wind box 14, and additional fuel may be burned in the bed to maintain the temperature during operation. Combustible gas from sewage plant may be burned above the bed to prevent the temperature falling excessively, and part of the combustion air may be supplied to the sludge supply pipe 22 to help in maintaining an even flow of sludge. A high pressure purge air line 42 is connected to the pipe 22 to clear blockages. The sludge fed to the fluidized bed has an organic solids content of 23-40% by weight, and the waste heat remaining in the flue gases from the scrubber may be used in the sewage plant or to preheat the sludge from the centrifuge.
