Title: Improvements in or relating to the automatic control of fuel admission in internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M7/20
Filed: 1932-05-07
Abstract: 401,280. Regulating. ARMSTRONG, WHITWORTH, & CO. (ENGINEERS), Ltd., SIR W. G., Thames House, Millbank, London, and BECKETT, C. M., 55, Wordsworth Drive, Cheam, Surrey. May 7, 1932, No. 13262. [Class 7 (vi).] In engines having the fuel admission controlled automatically by thermostatic and barometric means in accordance with atmospheric conditions, each control is connected, either directly or through a relay, to a lever having an intermediate point permanently connected to the fuel-admission mechanism. A thermostat 1 is connected by a rod 4 to one end of a lever 3, the other end of which is connected by a rod 8, lever 7, and sector gearing 5 to an aneroid 2, an intermediate point 9 of the lever being connected by a rod 10 to the fuel-admission means. The point 9 may be adjustable along the lever. The arrangement of the controls is such that an increase in temperature has the same effect on the fuel admission as a decrease in pressure, whereas if both increase or decrease together, their effects on the fuel admission counteract each other.

A pressurized water reactor is mounted within a containment vessel together with a reservoir of liquid having a specific gravity lower than water. Steam, leaking from a ruptured reactor pressure vessel, makes contact with the liquid free surface and is condensed to form water which sinks to the reservoir base. Continuous steam condensation occurs at the liquid surface and the leakage steam pressure within the containment vessel is reduced. The condensing liquid may be a water-based solution of a organic material, an emulsion or a colloidal suspension.

Abstract: A composition comprises a finely-divided mixture of (A) a polymer of a poly-unsaturated non-conjugated thermosetting monomer converted to a gel which is insoluble in acetone and contains residual unsaturation and (B) a filler, the ration of filler to polymer being at least equal to the ratio at which the oil absorption of the filler is just satisfied by the monomer from which the polymer is derived. Specified monomers are diallyl and dimethallyl, ortho, iso and tere-phthalates, maleates, hexahydrophthalates and chlorendates, and the diallyl and dimethallyl esters of succinic and fumaric acids. There may also be present in the composition a linear polyester derived from difunctional alcohol and dibasic acid, at least 40% of which acid is unsaturated, may also be present as may a polyunsaturated unconjugated thermosetting monomer which may be the same as or different from the monomer used to make the polymer.  A catalyst in amount sufficient to convert the composition to an insoluble state at moulding temperature is preferably present, e.g. a peroxide stable up to at least 120 DEG  C.

Filed: 1918-08-24
Abstract: 131,462. Stott, N. Aug. 24, ln18. Addition to 14167/13. Wire and cores, covering by winding. - The machine described in the parent Specification for covering wire and other cores with yarn and the like is modified in the arrangement of the runner and delivery wires, in order to facilitate insertion and removal of the cheese. The runner and delivery wires are carried by, or form parts of, a cage-like flyer having an open-topped upper ring, the arrangement being such that the yarn passes over one or more runner members and is then reversed and passes to the delivery member attached to the upper ring, and thence in a reversed direction to the covering-die. The flyer shown in Fig. 1 consists of a base a connected by bars e to an upper ring d. A bent wire g serves as the delivery wire. Two spring wires f serve as the runner member and also to tension the yarn. The wires f may be attached to the base a by screws, the upper ends being free and bent to embrace the ring d; or the wires may be attached to the ring and the free ends capable of limited movement in holes or notches in the base a. Fig. 3 shows a variation, in which one of the bars e is inclined to serve as the runner member, the spring wires f serving only for tensioning the yarn. In the case of an inverted covering-head, the base of the flyer may be provided with an opening for the passage of the yarn from the delivery wire to the die. According to the Provisional Specification, the yarn may be tensioned by means of a presser spring bearing against the cheese, or a grooved or other surface on a sleeve in the cage.

An automatic adjustment mechanism for a disc brake includes a flexible sealing ring 21 arranged to contact a shoulder 24 on the internal cylindrical surface of the piston 9 when, due to deflection of the C-shaped brake caliper member under load, relative movement between the piston 9 and housing 2 takes place after the normal clearance between the spacer sleeve 16 and adjustment pin head 20, as shown in Fig. 2, has been taken up. On release of the brake pressure, the sealing member 21 will straighten before the piston 9 is moved back and away from the head 20 by spring 23. To prevent fluid being trapped indefinitely on the right of the pin head 20 in Fig. 3, slow leakage is possible past the threads of set or filler screw 26 in the head 20. Specification 583,596 is referred to.
