Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of fine mesh screens
IPC: H01J9/14
Filed: 1946-04-01
Abstract: 610,228. Making fine-mesh screen electrodes. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. April 1, 1946, No. 10107. Convention date, March 31, 1945. [Class 83 (ii)] [Also in Group XL (a)] A method of mounting a fine-mesh screen such as are used as electrodes in cathoderay tubes comprises placing the screen 1 on a ring or frame 2, Fig. 1, securing it by means of a ring 3 which may be line or spot welded to the ring 2 and then heating the assembly for five or ten minutes in a vacuum or inert atmosphere at between 800‹-900‹ C. This heat treatment causes the screen to shrink so that on cooling it is in a flat, tightly-stretched condition. In a modification, the screen is stretched taut by bending the inner edges of the frame inwardly towards the plane of the ring 3. The screen is preferably of copper and the rings of nickel. In another method, the edges of the screen are secured between inner and outer rings 5 and 7, which are then mounted on a bush 6 having a higher coefficient of expansion than the rings. The rings may consist of an alloy of 50 per cent nickel and 50 per cent iron and the bush may be of aluminium or aluminium alloy, while the screen is of copper. On heating the assembly to about 530‹ C. in a vacuum or inert atmosphere, the expansion of the bush stretches the rings 5 and 7 to beyond their elastic limit with the result that on cooling, the screen remains in taut planar condition, due to its greater coefficient of expansion and the permanent change in diameter of the rings.

[Also in Division G4] A bi-stable circuit, for use in a digital data storage matrix, comprises a reciprocally-coupled pair of transistors 11, 12 and further transistors 13, 14 directly coupled to the collectors of transistors 11, 12 and arranged so that the circuit can be set into one state (writing) by simultaneous applications of signals to the base and emitter of transistor 13 whilst non-destructive read-out is provided by signals applied to the base and emitter of transistor 14. Writing and reading use a common terminal By. Integrated circuit construction is preferably used. Transistor bi-stable circuits.-As described, a binary 1 is written into the circuit by simultaneous application of positive pulses at LW and By, saturating transistors 13, 94, so as to turn off transistor 12 and saturate transistor 11. Non-destructive read-out is available at CR by saturating transistor 14 by pulsing LR. The circuit is reset by a positive pulse at LW whilst By remains at ground potential. In Fig. 1 (not shown) transistors 22, 24, 94 are omitted, the circuit being reset by a positive pulse fed to the emitter of transistor 11. Matrix stores.-Fig. 2 shows an 8 x 4 matrix comprising 32 bi-stable stages C11 . . . C84 of the type shown in Fig. 1, 7 or 8 of integrated circuits construction with inter-connections carried out by welding the output terminals to column and row conductors engraved on double-face or multi-layer printed circuits. Row selection is achieved by binary numbers supplied to terminals S1 . . . S3 which, after inversion, where necessary, are fed to 8 decoders (Fig. 4, not shown) each comprising three parallel-connected transistors feeding a fourth transistor. Word selection is achieved by circuits ML1 . . . ML8 each comprising three pairs of parallel-connected transistor AND gates supplied with operation signals #W, R, Z and with the output from the appropriate decoder in block MD. Fig. 6 shows one of the digit selectors BL1 . . . BL4 to which a writing signal is developed by feeding a positive pulse to Wy and to R, thus blocking transistor 90 and saturating transistor 96 so that transistors 91, 94 become saturated and 95 blocked. This provides a substantially zero potential signal at CWy. Read-out is signalled by feeding zero potential to Wy and R so that transistor 9 is saturated and 96 blocked hence transistors 91 and 94 are also blocked so that the emitter follower 95 passes a signal from CRy to the output terminal By and P depending on the state of the appropriate memory cell. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,024,015.

Patent GB-712906-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the production of gases containing sulphur dioxide
IPC: C22B1/10
Filed: 1951-05-03
Abstract: In the roasting of sulphidic materials, especially iron pyrites in a bed consisting predominantly of substantially roasted particles of a grain size up to 10 mm. fluidized by the upward passage of a free-oxygen containing gas (see Specification 712,899) the hourly loading per square metre of bed area corresponds to more than 250 kilograms of sulphur content of the material to be roasted.  The roasting temperature is kept below the softening point of the roasted materials by some or all of the following measures: employing excess oxygen containing gas (which must in any case be sufficient to complete the roasting to form oxidic roasted material), returning cooled roaster gas or cooled roaster material to the bed, carrying out heat consuming processes simultaneously in the bed, e.g. by spraying in water or dilute sulphuric acid (see Specification 712,907), the inclusion of heat withdrawing members.  The oxygen containing gas, particularly when the solid materials have a high content of fine grained constituents, may be blown in part, tangentially or radially into the upper part of the bed to ensure complete condensation.  An example relates to the roasting of iron pyrites (sulphur content 48 per cent.) of which 1,350 kilograms (corresponding to 650 kilograms of sulphur) are introduced per hour per square metre of bed cross sectional area into a fluidized bed 50 centimetres deep. 2,900 cubic metres of air are passed upwardly and the temperature is maintained at 850 DEG  C. by spraying in water. Entrainment is avoided by providing above the bed a quiescent zone preferably widening conically in the direction of gas flow.  An overflow pipe maintains the bed level constant and the sulphur content of the roasted material and the flue dust is reduced to below 1.5 per cent.  A gas containing 15 per cent. sulphur dioxide is produced. Reference is also made to roasting copper pyrites, zinc blende, bismuth glance and lead glance alone or in association with iron pyrites.  Specification 688,983 also is referred to.
