Abstract: 520,333. Marking bars. LUKACS, E.. and STERN, S. Sept. 19, 1938, No. 27315. Convention date, Oct. 9, 1937. [Class 20 (iv)] [Also in Group XXII] In raising the yield point and tensile strength of rods for reinforced concrete by cold working by applied torsion, the strength is indicated by the pitch of small intermittent depression or colour on a line parallel to the axis of the bar which has been distorted to helical form by the applied torsion. In the Figure, gripping jaws 5 apply a straight pull to draw a rod g through a pair of skew rolls 6, 7 provided with a surface to make grooves on the rod such groove &c. emerging as a helical pattern &c., the pitch of which is proportional to the torsion applied by the rolls. In a modification, the roll pair may be parallel, the torsion being applied by rotating the roll pair round the axis of the bar or by turning the gripping jaws round in addition to their pull. An automatic disconnector may cut off the applied torsion when the required strength is attained as indicated by the helical pitch on the rod. The torsion may be varied along different lengths of a rod to vary the strength longitudinally.

Abstract: 975,590. Air-cooled heat exchangers. HAPPEL G.m.b.H., [trading as GEA LUFTKUEHLERGESELLSCHAFT HAPPEL G.m.b.H. & CO. KOMM. GES.]. July 11, 1963 [July 11, 1962], No. 27547/63. Heading F4S. In a method of .controlling the performance of an air-cooled surface heat exchanger for cooling a liquid, e.g. to provide discharged liquid at a substantially constant temperature, wherein the heat exchange passages are arranged as walls uniformly permeated by cooling air, the liquid level in the said walls is adjusted to vary the effective heat exchange area. In the form shown, the apparatus comprises superposed heat exchange elements 4 filling apertures 3 in the base of the tower wall 1, each element comprising a bank of horizontal or inclined externally-finned tubes extending between an input header 4a and a output header 4b. These tubes contain the liquid to be cooled and are vertically spaced for the passage of air over the tubes. The tubes of laterally adjacent walls are parallel or slope in opposite directions. In operation, the liquid to be cooled is supplied by a pump 5 through pipes 6, 6b, 6c to the element headers 4a. The liquid discharges . from the element headers 4b through pipes 7c, 76, 7a and 7. Pipes 8a, 8 also connect the vertical pipes 6b and 7b to the headers and the upper ends of pipes 6b and 7b join a gas line 8c so that the space above the liquid level may be supplied with a chemically inert gas from a reservoir 9 which is itself supplied by a gas pump, not shown. The level in the pipes 6b and thus in the walls of the elements is controlled by the pump 5 and the pressure of the gas, which pressure is in turn controlled by a valve 13 and an escape valve 14. The valve 12 in the discharge line 7 may also be used to :adjust the liquid level. Valves 12, 13 and 14 and the gas pump and liquid pump may be controlled by thermostats sensitive to outside air temperature or the entry or exit temperature of the cooled liquid. A by-pass pipe 10 with valve 11 may be used so that only part of the total flow of liquid is air-cooled, e.g. during winter. Specification 974,691 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to cup holders
Inventor: MAXWELL STEWART ALFRED
IPC: G07F13/10
Filed: 1962-07-19
Abstract: 970,093. Cup dispensing. FISHER & LUDLOW Ltd. July 17, 1963 [July 19, 1962], No. 27685/62. Heading B8S. Three stacks of cups are contained within cup holder 10 in a beverage dispensing machine. Cups are dispensed one by one from the bottom of the central stack 100 by dispensing unit 15 and when the stack reaches a predetermined minimum height the side stacks 12 and 13 are displaced in turn on to the central stack so that the three stacks are sequentially and automatically dispensed. The side stacks rest respectively on platforms 12 and 13 pivoted at 8 and prevented from falling by pins 9 which are carried by the platforms and are engaged and supported respectively by ledges 19 and 18 carried by bar 17 actuable by solenoid 24. Ledge 19 includes an upper ledge, an intermediate ledge and a lower ledge. The height of the central stack of cups (not shown) is detected by a pivoted striker 21. Operation.-Dispenser unit 15 discharges the bottom cup of the central stack till the stack reaches a lower predetermined level. At this level striker 21 moves about its pivot to actuate a switch to operate solenoid 24 to move bar 17 rightwards. This withdraws wedge 18 from underneath pin 9 of platform 13 to permit said platform 13 to pivot downwards about pin 8. This causes its stack of cups to slide down the platform into the position of the central stack to replenish the latter. This movement of bar 17 rightwards has also permitted the dropping of platform 12 so that its pin 9 is now supported on the intermediate ledge of ledge 19 and the subsequent leftward movement of bar 17 permits the platform 12 to fall one step lower till its pin 9 now rests on the lowermost ledge of ledge 19. Platform 12 is now ready for use. Thus, when the central stack of cups now replenished by the right-hand stack of cups falls to the predetermined minimum level striker 21 again pivots, operates its switch, and causes solenoid 24 to again move bar 17 to the right. This now releases platform 12 to permit its stack to slide downwards to the central position for discharge therefrom by unit 15. The apparatus is then reset by restoring both platforms 12 and 13 simultaneously to their horizontal position whilst engaging their pins 9 with the ledges 19 and 18 on bar 17. The apparatus is then ready for another cycle of discharge.

Abstract: 1,076,823. Radio communication. CSFCOMPAGNIE GENERALE DE TELEGRAPHIE SANS FIL. July 7, 1964 [July 26, 1963; Jan. 15, 1964], No. 28026/64. Heading H4L. The invention relates to a beyond the horizon, V.H.F. or U.H.F., communication system using the ionosphere as a non-linear mixing media, and making use of the concept that if two waves of frequencies w 1  and w 2  are represented by their   wave vectors #k 1  and #k 2 , which have lengths   /#k 1 / = n 1 w1/c and /#k 2 / = n 2  w 2 /c, where n 1  and n 2    are the complex refractive indices of the ionosphere at the two frequencies, and directions equal to the directions of propagation of the waves, then the mixing process in the ionosphere will produce a wave of frequency w 3  = w 1 - w 2  and direction given by that of the wave vector   #k 3  produced by vectorial subtraction of the   vectors #k 1  and #k 2  (see Fig. 2). In the simple system shown in Fig. 2 w 1  >> w 2  and w 1  and w 3  are such that the waves would normally pass straight through the ionosphere I. Wave w 1  is thus transmitted in a narrow beam from E 1  and wave w 2  is transmitted almost vertically from   P. In order that /#k 2 / should be comparable with   /#k 1 /, to produce a downwardly directed vector #k 3 , n 2  must be very large compared with n 1  and n 3  which are both approximately unity. This requires that w 2  should be near one of the resonance frequencies of the ionosphere, e.g. the cyclotron frequency. When this requirement is met, wave w 3  is received at R. Since w 2  is very near a resonance frequency of the ionosphere, it will be rapidly absorbed thereby, and to overcome excessive power requirements, w 2  may be produced in the ionosphere by secondary mixing between two none absorbed signals differing in frequency by w 2  (Fig. 4, not shown). Fig. 5 (not shown) shows the bending of a wave w 2  from an inclined direction at the surface of the Earth to a vertical direction at the point in the ionosphere where it is near the required resonance frequency.
