Patent GB-860657-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to mass flow meters
IPC: G01F1/82
Filed: 1959-06-12
Abstract: 860,657. Electric fluid-flow meters. POTTER, D. M. June 12, 1959, No. 20231/59. Class 40 (1). [Also in Group XXVI] A mass fluid-flow meter comprises two rotors linked together by a spring, each rotated by the flowing fluid to produce pulse trains by magnetic transducers, the phase difference between the pulse trains being indicative of the mass fluid-flow rate. As shown (Fig. 1), two vaned rotors 18, 20 are mounted coaxially in a conduit 10, the bearings 22, 24, 26 being located in fixed spiders 12 14, 16, and one vane of each rotor carries a magnetic tip 40 which, on rotation, produces a pulse in a coil 42, 44 located externally of the conduit 10 on a permanent magnet core 46, 48. The vanes on each rotor are bent differently so that for a given rate of flow they tend to turn at slightly different rates, but the rotors are interconnected by a spring 34 located within the centre bearing 24, so that they move at the same rate but out of phase by an amount which is shown to be proportional to the momentum, and the time taken to move through this phase difference is proportional to the mass flow rate. The leading pulse from, say, coil 42 opens a gate 56 (Fig. 2) to allow pulses from a constant-frequency timing oscillator 59 to pass to a counter 61, until the gate is closed by the trailing pulse from coil 44. Counter 61 is calibrated to indicate the mass flow rate, and is reset by the next leading pulse. The total mass flow is determined by a further counter 76 which is conditioned by a 1 c.p.s. oscillator 72 to read only one batch of pulses from oscillator 59 between the leading and trailing pulses from coils 42, 44 in each second, and adds the count continuously.

IPC: C08F240/00
Filed: 1930-07-04
Abstract: 338,845. Weiss, J. M. July 10, 1929, [Covention date]. Coumarone and indene resins.-The production of resins by the polymerizations of coumarone, indene and their homolgues is effected by using as the polymerizing agent a mixture of an absorbent earth and an acid sulphate of a trivalent metal. The acid sulphate may be acid ferric sulphate and may be formed by the use of a mixture of fuller's earth or similar absorbent porous material, ferric oxide and sulphuric acid in excess of that needed to form ferric sulphate. The iron oxide may be substituted wholly or in part by other oxides such as aluminium oxide. According to, the example, a dry mixture containing fuller's earth, ferric oxide and sulphuric acid is added to crude solvent naphtha fractionated between 160-190‹ C. The reagents are stirred and the mass then filtered. The filtrate containing the polymerized products in solution is washed with dilute alkali to remove acid and finally with water to remove residual alkali. On subjecting the washed filtrate to steam distillation, preferably using superheated steam, resin is left behind as a liquid which solidifies in cooling. The solvent naphtha may be washed with sulphuric acid prior to the treatment with the acid sulphate mixture.

A match having an inflammable ignition mass in the form of a head on a splint of combustible material is characterized by having the splint consisting at least partly of a mass of finelydivided vegetable and synthetic material. The vegetable material may, for example, be paper pulp, wood pulp, wood fibres or powder, sawdust, flax waste, straw, rapeseed stems, leaves, and stems of plants; the synthetic material is suitably cellulose acetate. The splint mass may contain glue and starch as agglutinants, and zinc oxide, glass powder, chalk, gypsum, asbestos powder, and charcoal as fillers. In addition the combustible mass may include resins, e.g. colophony and shellac, paraffin wax, tobacco, fats, strontium nitrate, potassium chlorate, pyrolusite, borax, phosphoric acid, and ammonium phosphate. The splints may be produced as sticks, or as tubes, shells, or pipes in which case they are preferably closed at the end remote from the head, and may be produced in a porous or sponge-like form. The splints may have a round, triangular, square, rectangular, polygonal, or oval cross-section and may consist of more than one portion. For example, the portion remote from the head may be rendered non-combustible by inclusion of asbestos or glass powder, while the portion near the head is rendered highly combustible with potassium chlorate, shellac, and/or colophony, and cannot be blown out once lit. Such separate portions of the splint may also be coloured differently.
