Filed: 1963-09-26
Abstract: 985,370. Boring earth etc.; wells. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. Sept. 26, 1963 [Sept. 28, 1962], No. 37993/63. Heading E1F. A pipe connection is formed between a vessel 11 at the surface of a body of water 12 overlying a formation 13 and a hole 26 in the formation by lowering a pipe string 27 from the vessel until its lower end is adjacent the formation, moving the string until its lower end is above the hole, and lowering the lower end into the hole. The lower end of the string is closed, has a jet aperture 29, and slidably carries a frame 31 supporting a remotelycontrolled television camera 33 having lights 34 and connected to a viewing screen 37 on the vessel. Drilling or other fluid pumped down the string issues from the aperture to deflect the lower part of the string from the vertical whilst the string is slowly rotated. When the hole is shown on the screen the string is lowered into the hole to form the connection, the camera is hauled up the string, and a conductor pipe (not shown) is lowered about the string into the hole. In a modification the lower end of the string 51 (Fig. 4) is formed by a conductor pipe 54 having a jet aperture 57 and carrying the camera 33 and lights 34 which are attached by electro-magnets 58. After the hole appears on the screen the conductor pipe is entered into the hole, the camera and lights are removed, and the pipe is lowered into the hole to complete the connection. The pipe is cemented into the hole by pumping cement down the string and through the aperture, the string being disconnected when the cement sets. The hole is continued by drilling through the bottom of the conductor pipe with a bit 25a (Fig. 8) mounted on a string 21 which may be positioned in the hole by the method according to the insertion, the bit having its lower end closed by a plug 64 during positioning so that fluid is discharged through a jet aperture 60. During drilling the plug is removed, the aperture is closed by a spring pressed sleeve 61, and fluid is discharged through ports in the bit. Instead of locating the hole by means of the television camera, the hole may be located by trial and error the motion of the waves providing the up and down movement of the string as the lower end is deflected from the vertical. Specification 873,479 is referred to.

[Also in Division H1] A fire alarm comprises a detector element responsive to a phenomenon consequent upon combustion to yield an electrical signal, a fieldeffect transistor arranged to amplify the signal and a cover normally preventing external contact with the gate electrode of the transistor together with a switch operable in response to displacement of the cover to short circuit the gate electrode to another electrode of said transistor and so prevent breakdown of the field effect transistor due to spurious charge introduced on to its gate. As shown in Fig. 1, the detector comprises a measuring ionization chamber 10 having access to ambient air via perforations 22 in a cover 21 and a reference ionization chamber 11 sealed from the atmosphere by housing 20. The gate 14 of an insulated gate field effect transistor 12 is connected to the common electrode 17 of the two ionization chambers. Spring-biased contacts 15 are normally maintained open by a pin 22 operated by a flange 26 on the cover 21, but closed when the cover is removed so as to short circuit the gate/drain electrodes of transistor 12 and so protect it against spurious charges. In Fig. 2a, contacts 15 are replaced by a reed switch 31 which is closed by a magnet 32 when the cover 21 is removed but become opened by the interposition of a ferro-magnetic screen 34 when the cover 21 is in place. In Fig. 3 (not shown) the ferro-magnetic screen 34 is replaced by a bucking permanent magnet (32). The ionization chambers may be replaced by a photo-cell or temperature-dependent resistor.

Abstract: 878,449. Fluid-pressure servometer-control systems. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. Nov. 12, 1959 [Nov. 21, 1958], No. 38357/59. Class 135. [Also in Group XXXII] A power shock absorber and levelling system for a vehicle comprises an hydraulic piston and cylinder device 7 connected between the sprung and unsprung masses of the vehicle, inertia con. trolled valve means for determining the pressure in one chamber of the device 7 and valve means actuated by a change in the relative distance between the masses to determine the pressure in the other chamber of the device 7. If the vehicle passes over a bump an inertia member 15 turns in a clockwise direction about its pivot on a leaf-spring 16, thus opening a needle valve 19 controlling a pipe 56 fed with fluid from an accumulator 3 via a pipe 6 and a restricted passage 55. Pressure in the pipe 56 then decreases so that an exhaust valve 38 opens and fluid is discharged from the chamber 41 of the piston and cylinder device 7. The corresponding decrease in pressure in the other chamber 71 of the device 7 opens a damper valve 73 to provide fluid from the accumulator 3 via a supply pipe 5. If the pressure drop within the chamber is greater than a predetermined value, an additional valve 79 opens. If the vehicle passes over a depression the sensing member 15 turns anti-clockwise direction and pressure in the pipe 56 is increased opening an inlet valve 37 which in turn causes a pressure increase in chamber 41 and the piston 43 moves down. Pressure in the chamber 71 is therefore increased and a second damper valve 74 is opened to allow fluid escape to the supply pipe 5. An inlet valve 86 arranged to allow fluid flow from a fluid return pipe 11 to the chamber 71 is also provided in case of pump failure. A levelling device for adjusting changes in body height due to changing static loads is provided by a unit 100 (see Group XXXII). The inertia member 15 is provided with pistons 25, 31, 34 and 104 whose combined torques result in a complete balance under normal static conditions and which provide damping means. Specification 833,110 is referred to.

Abstract: 1337920 Regulating I. C. engines GENERAL MOTORS CORP 17 Aug 1972 [1 Sept 1971] 38405/72 Heading F1B Motor vehicle drive mechanism comprises an I. C. engine coupled to an automatic transmission, an engine governor arranged to control the carburetter to limit the engine speed to a predetermined value; and a governor by-pass  device controlled by said transmission and operable to by-pass the governor when the transmission is in a low gear drive, and permit engine speeds in excess of the governed speed so as to enable the transmission to shift from said low gear drive to another gear drive at an engine speed in excess of said governed speed. The engine 10 drives an automatic transmission 12 and is fed with a fuel air mixture by a four barrel carburettor 16, having two primary throttle valves 30, and two secondary throttle valves 34 (only one of each being shown). The primary throttle valve shaft 31 is biased by a spring 61 to the open position and is moved towards the closed position by a vacuum motor 18, consisting of a diaphragm 44 which defines one side of a vacuum chamber 48, and a rod 51 pivotally attached to a lever 54 mounted on the shaft 31. The vacuum chamber 48 is connected by passage 76 to passages 65 and 66 which open into the intake pipe. Vacuum in the chamber 48 pulls the diaphragm downwards and moves the primary throttle valves in the closing direction. The governor 20 is inserted in a duct 98, 119 leading from the air intake 24 to the passage 76 and allows atmospheric air to enter the chamber 48 at a rate dependent of engine speed, the governor being mechanically driven by the engine. The governor thus limits engine speed and hence vehicle speed. In order to allow the engine speed to increase above the engine speed corresponding to that required to drive the vehicle at the maximum permitted speed in high gear, a governor by-pass is provided and consists of a conduit 124 in parallel with the governor and which contains a solenoid-operated valve 122. The solenoid 125 is connected to a battery through a switch 130 which is closed when the transmission 12 is in low or intermediate gear, thus opening the valve 122 and allowing atmospheric air to enter the chamber 48. The engine speed required to change from a lower gear to a higher gear does not exceed a speed that would produce a vehicle speed in excess of the maximum permitted speed.

Dec. 22, 1930, No. 38554. Convention date, Dec. 21, 1929. [Class 51 (i).] In furnaces heated by gases rich in hydrocarbons decomposable by heat in which the gases follow a path of substantial length in highly heated flues or passages within the masonry of the furnace and are liable to crack therein, a material such as steam, water, or carbon dioxide is introduced into the flues or passages at a point where cracking occurs and before the point of ignition or into the gas before it is admitted to the furnace to react with the carbon to form combustible matter. The steam or water used may be heated in regenerators with the gases. The pressure of the water or steam introduced into the gas may be used for increasing the pressure of the mixture and such pressure water or steam may be introduced so as to ensure an intimate mixture, for example by arranging the steam jets tangentially. The gas employed may be coke oven gas from which hydrogen has been removed or gas produced by cracking heavy oils. The water may be introduced in a pulverized condition and the quantity of material employed to mix with the gas may be adjusted to obtain the desired degree of reaction.

Abstract: 1,057,038. Finishing fabrics. M. NEBEL and E. NEBEL. Oct. 1, 1963 No. 38708/63. Heading D1S. In a method of setting a tubular knitted stocking of thermoplastic yarn on a contractible former, the unset stocking is put on the expanded former and shrunk by the setting treatment to leg shape while simultaneously the former is gradually contracted to that shape. As shown the former is flat and comprises a leg shaped portion 1 having an additional portion 2 pivotable about a bolt 4 into or out of a slot in the portion 1. The portion 2 is normally urged away from the portion 1 by a spring 8 but it is moveable into the slot either by pneumatic, hydraulic or mechanical means engaging a hook 6 on the end of the portion 2 or by the action of a pneumatic piston-cylinder arrangement 9, 10 which engages an arm 2a attached to the portion 2. In operation the tubular partially tapered stocking which may have larger and smaller stitches in its wales, is placed over the similarly shaped expanded former which is then placed in a treatment chamber the temperature and pressure of which are gradually raised to shrink the yarn. By suitable means e.g. by exposing the top of piston 9 to the pressure in the treatment chamber while the other side is opened to the atmosphere, the additional portion 2 is gradually moved into the slot in the portion 1 so that during shrinkage a slight tension is maintained across the width of the stocking at all points along its length. A further moveable portion may be provided e.g. at the front of the portion 1 to take up the initial slack in the vicinity of the instep. The movement of the portion 2 may be adjusted either by changing the area of the piston 9 or by changing the strength of the piston biasing spring 11.
