Abstract: 617,382. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control systems. JENNINGS, H. W. K. (Petersen, K. N. M.). Sept. 27, 1946, No. 28976. [Class 135] [Also in Groups X and XXXV] A fluid-pressure servomotor controls the air flow in a ventilation channel 1 (see-Group X) in accordance with both the pressure in the channel and the outdoor temperature. A pressureresponsive feeler 5 acts on bollows 7 to open a throttle 6 mounted on a pivoted arm 13 at the end of a pressure line 14. This causes fluid to escape from a regulator 10, thus moving a valve 11 in the channel, through levers 23, 24, to alter the air flow and thus restore the pressure balance. Bellows 8 connected to a temperature sensitive member 9 also moves the arm 13 to open the throttle 6, the balance being restored as before. The regulator 10 may vary the speed of the blower 3 or adjust the blades thereof instead of moving a valve. Additional temperature-sensitive members may be provided.

Abstract: 657,138. Electro-therapeutic apparatus. NEMEC, H. Nov. 13, 1948, No. 29533. Convention date, Dec. 8, 1947. [Class 81(ii)] An electro-medical apparatus for producing a deeply placed stimulation without affecting the surface tissues employs two separate sources of current 3, 6 the outputs of which differ slightly in frequency and are applied to the patient by separate pairs of electrodes 8, 9 and 10, 11. The individual frequencies are too high (e.g. 3 Kc/s) to produce any effect on the patient but by suitable placing of the electrodes a resultant field may be produced at a point within the tissue comprising a beat frequency of comparatively low periodicity which produces the required stimulation. In the arrangement shown, a mains transformer 1 supplies the oscillator 3, 6 through power units 2, 5 and these feed the electrodes through output units 4, 7. The frequency of oscillator 6 is made variable by a condenser 14. Specification 651,951, is referred to.

IPC: G01T1/185
Filed: 1963-07-26
Abstract: 1,006,475. Ionisation chamber-electrometer system. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. July 26, 1963 [Aug. 8,1962], No. 29702/63. Headings G1A and G1Q. An electrometer comprises a stationary electrode, a movable electrode, a member connected thereto for variably masking a radiation source and means for reducing the potential difference between the stationary and movable electrodes when the radiation source is masked to a predetermined degree. Radiation falls on an ionisation chamber 7 to discharge it and build up a potential between the electrodes 9,10. Electrode 9 attracts electrode 10 to reduce the obstruction of the light from a source 13 falling on a photosensitive element 12. At a predetermined position of the vane 11, the current through relay coil 14 closes a contact 15 to short circuit electrodes 9 and 10 and a contact 16 to operate a metering or alarm device 18. The potential difference between electrodes 9,10 may be reduced to a value other than zero by connecting contact to the tapping of a potentiometer across the voltage supply 17, Fig. 3, (not shown). The sensitivity of the electrometer may be reduced by a connecting condenser across terminals 9,10, Fig. 4, (not shown). The light source and photosensitive element may be replaced by a radioactive source and detector sensitive thereto Fig. 5, (not shown). A resistor 24, Fig. 6 may be connected between electrodes 9,10 so that an ionisation current flows, the electrometer then measures the potential across the resistor and relay 14 pulls in at a predetermined ionisation current.
