Title: Slow wave circuits for high frequency electric discharge tubes
IPC: H01J23/22
Filed: 1965-03-09
Abstract: 1,063,923. Travelling wave tubes. SFD LABORATORIES Inc. March 9, 1965 [March 9, 1964], No. 10010/65. Heading H1D. A travelling-wave tube has a slow-wave circuit whose electrical characteristics, Fig. 18, are equivalent to those of a two-wire transmission line, the slow-wave circuit having a series of iterative sections comprising shunt and series impedances which provide shunt and series voltages respectively, the sections being so disposed that the beam interacts alternately with both voltages in the direction of the circuit. The slow-wave circuit may be an interdigitated line with the fingers bifurcated, either with each finger apertured to allow passage of the beam (Fig. 13) or with ring-shaped fingers to enhance interaction between the wave and a cylindrical beam (Fig. 24b). Alternatively, the circuit is formed of an array of spaced-apart resonators, adjacent resonators having different resonant frequencies. The resonators comprise a number of conductive bars defining a series of resonant slots (Fig. 31) or they comprise a number of resonant slots in a conductive wall (Fig. 34), the resonators forming a series of alternate short and long slots interconnected by two conductors one set of like slots being connected in series and the other set in parallel with the conductors, with the short slots connected in series the slow wave structure has a fundamental forward wave space harmonic mode, whilst with the long slots connected in series a backward wave mode results. The travelling wave tube may be " O " type with the axes of the slots substantially at right angles with tube axis, or " M " type with the slots substantially in alignment with the tube axis. The slow-wave structure is cooled by providing a good heat conduction path between the elements of the structure and a heat sink or by passage of coolant through the rods forming the structure.

Title: Improvements in counting apparatus
IPC: G08C13/02
Filed: 1952-04-21
Abstract: 713,129. Counting-apparatus. LANDIS & GYR AKT.-GES. April 21, 1952 [April 25, 1951], No. 10020/52. Class 106 (1) An apparatus for receiving impulses from a number of sources comprises a plurality of receiving stations each adapted to receive impu'ses from a meter or like measuring device, a summator, and a common source of power which acts to drive said summator proportionately on receipt of such impulses at any one of said stations, the impulses received at one of the stations being subtracted from the sum of the impulses received at the remaining stations. As shown, six receiving stations are employed, each comprising a receiving relay 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 which responds to the arriving impulses by means of an armature 7. Each armature 7 normally serves to prevent rotation of a mechanism 9 coupled to a clockwork source of power 16 intermittently rewound by a motor 18 controlled by a wandering nut 17. The drives between the clockwork motor 18 and each mechanism 9 comprises a number of differential gears 20, 26, 31, 36 and 41 arranged, as shown, such that no matter which solenoid receives an impulse, the resulting rotation of the corresponding mechanism 9 that is permitted when the associated armature 7 makes its to and fro motion, is transmitted by the motor 16 to a common summator 23 independently of any impulses received by any of the other receiving stations. Impulses received simultaneously or otherwise in the various receiving relays 1 to 6 are similarly and immediately transmitted by the resulting motion of the motor 16 to the summator 23. Each mechanism 9 may also be connected to an individual counter 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. The impulses received at one or more of the receiving stations are, however, subtracted from, instead of being added to, the summator 23. This is performed in the case of receiving station 6 by including an additional differential gear 60 between the summator 23 and the said receiving station such that whereas the impulses from the relay 6 are, in effect, transmitted positively to the summator 23 through the differential gears 20 and 31, they are also subtracted by double that number from the summator 23 through the gears 60, 49 and 64. To prevent the summator 23 from being driven in the reverse direction if the negative impulses predominate for a short time, a lost motion coupling 65-67 and 69 is provided, this coupling allowing a certain negative rotation of the shaft 59 to take place without effecting the summator 23, such negative rotation being neutralized by any positive incoming pulses. If the negative storing capacity of the clutch is exhausted the coupling is adapted to slip in a manner not influencing the summator 23. An emitting device 70-81 retransmitting the valve on the summator 23 is also provided.

Filed: 1941-08-11
Abstract: 551,889. Films &c. LUMB, C. F. Aug. 11, 1941, No. 10203. [Class 2 (ii)] [Also in Group V] Synthetic rubber or other thermoplastic film-forming material is sprayed in powder form from a spraying pistol or apparatus and through or in close proximity to a source of heat of a temperature sufficient to melt or render the particles plastic and adherent, in the form of a layer on to a smooth supporting surface or backing, and the sheet so formed is stripped from the surface or backing when the sprayed substance is sufficiently set. The supporting surface may be a polished glass, marble, or metal surface. A chromium or nickel plated surface may be used. The sprayed layer may be air cured until its tackiness has disappeared. The process is applicable to the production of sheets from substances which are insoluble in ordinary solvents but which can be prepared in powdered or finely divided form, e.g. the rubber-like substance known as " Thiokol " (prepared by interaction of ethylene dichloride and sodium polysulphide). Other thermoplastic rubber-like substances which may be used are those known as " Polythene " and " Buna " (Registered Trade Marks). The thermoplastic substance may be obtained in powder form and then sprayed through the oxy-hydrogen or town-gas flame or other suitable flame of a spraying pistol or gun on to a glass or other smooth surface. By continuing to play the flame of the pistol over the sprayed layer the-synthetic rubber material may be vulcanized. Specification 432,831, [Group XXIX], is referred to.
