Title: Improvements in or relating to Film-Type Electrically Conductive Elements

IPC: H01B1/00
Filed: 1966-08-11
Abstract: 1,190,195. Heat films. PLESSEY CO. Ltd. 4 Aug., 1967 [11 Aug., 1966], No. 35970/66. Heading H5H. An electric heating element comprises a resistive film of an oxide or oxides of a metal, or metals, of one of the elements ruthenium, osmium palladium, iridium and rhodium adhered to a heat-insulating substrate. The element is made by applying to the substrate a solution or suspension of one or more of the above elements or compounds, together with a binder or thickener, drying the layer or allowing it to dry and heat treating the coated substrate in an oxidizing atmosphere to oxidize the metal layer. The heating temperature is in the region of 600- 900‹ C. Such a temperature is sufficient in the cases of iridium and platinum only when the metal is applied as a suitable compound. In one specific example a resin thinned with benzyl alcohol and containing ruthenium is applied to a glass or alumina substrate by painting, dipping, spraying or screen printing. After drying the substrate is heated in air at 800‹ C. to produce a film of ruthenium oxide. Several layers of the solution may be applied prior to heating. Other of the metals, e.g. rhodium and/or iridium may be added. After electrodes are added the element is encapsulated in a glaze of boro-silicate glass or a frit glaze. The film may also be made by applying ruthenium trichloride or ruthenium nitrosyl nitrate to the substrate before heating and oxidizing. The element may be used in hotplates and heating panels.

Abstract: 1459605 Seat adjustments NISSAN MOTOR CO Ltd 23 Aug 1974 [31 Aug 1973] 37089/74 Heading A4J In a seat slide mechanism an auxiliary sliding member obscures the latching recesses of the slide rail for all except one position of the seat slide, the seat slide latch being releasable by forward folding of the backrest so that on return of the backrest to the normal position the seat slide mechanism can only be re-secured in its original position. Adjustment of the fore and aft position of the seat is achieved by simultaneous adjustment of both seat slide and the auxiliary member. The auxiliary member 19 Fig. 6 is provided with a flange 19b having a first aperture 23 for allowing passage of the seat slide latch (8), Fig. 2B and a second aperture 24 to allow passage of an auxiliary member latch (20), Fig. 2B. The latch 8 is operable by a lever 11 which may be operated in isolation by the wire 14 Fig. 1 or in conjunction with latch 20 by rod 10. To this end rod 10 has a projection 22 which simultaneously releases latch 20 and engages the member 19 with slide 5 for conjoint sliding motion. The tie wire 14 (Fig. 1) is connected to the backrest 25b by linkage 13, 15, 27. Operation. When the seat is in the normally locked position latch 8 engages a slot 3 in rail 1 via aperture 23 of auxiliary member 19.

Title: Travelling-wave tube
IPC: H01J23/26
Filed: 1954-12-24
Abstract: 776,952. Travelling wave tubes. HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO. Dec. 24, 1954 [Dec. 30, 1953]. No. 37416/54. Class 39(1). A travelling wave tube has a N filar conductive helix where N7, 1, whose circumference per turn is greater than 0À2N#Fsp an elongated dielectric member adjacent the helix and having a plurality of relatively small isolated areas of conductive material to provide reflectors to reflect the wave at spaced points and so to attenuate the wave; the attenuation being within a predetermined frequency band including the frequency of oscillations on the low frequency backward wave mode. In one form, Fig. 1, the desired stop bands are provided by a helical dielectric rod 36 provided with conductive bands or other shaped conductive areas, Figs. 2, 3 (not shown). This member is made by plating rod 36 with metal and etching away the metal at the transverse gaps or by attaching aluminium flakes to rod 36 by a binder. The helix is a tape having a circumference per turn of <#>/2 and is carried by hollow glass tube 34 ; the beam is annular and coaxial feeder lines are used. It is shown that member 36 gives stop bands at ka1-ka2 and at 2ka1- 2kaz, Fig. 4, so as to suppress the low frequency and high frequency backward wave mode respectively. The device operates on a forward wave mode shown by portion 61 of line 60. The stop bands can be broadened by extending the discontinuities in the peripheral direction. The pitch of rod 36 is slightly greater than the helix pitch, and they are wound in the same direction. The device is operated in a non- dispersive region. The invention can also be applied to backward wave oscillators, Fig. 6 (not shown), backward wave oscillation taking place along part of the high frequency backward wave mode a stop band attenuating the low frequency backward wave mode. The invention can also be applied to travelling wave tubes with multifilar helices, e.g., to a bifilar helix 100, Fig. 8. The bifilar helix is held in a glass tube 102 and supported from the tube envelope by two dielectric rods 104, 105 and kidney sectioned member 106, which also provides the stop band. Member 106 comprises dielectric rod 107, Fig. 9, having metal bands 108 and the stop band can be made wider by increasing the circumferential extent of member 106. The helices are fed in parallel by coaxial lines from a common input source and the output is extracted in a similar manner. The circumference per turn of the bifilar helix is twice that of the unifilar helix. The device can operate as an amplifier or as a backward wave oscillator. The circumference/turn of the unifilar helix can be 0À6 #Fsp for an annular electron beam.
