Title: Improvements in or relating to valve units for use with dispensing systems for liquids
IPC: B67D1/08
Filed: 1959-12-06
Abstract: 925,295. Dispensing liquids under pressure. R. J. BUTCHER. March 3, 1961 [Dec. 6, 1959], No. 37804/59. Class 102(2). A valve unit, for a vessel dispensing a liquid such as beer, comprises a normally closed valve member displaced to allow gaseous pressure fluid into the vessel and pass the discharge therefrom, the unit also incorporating a safety valve. A tube 10 extends substantially to the bottom of the vessel and a CO 2  dispensing system is coupled to the valve unit. The valve body 15 is depressed until an element 16 abuts a rubber ring 34 and the gas flows through an annular space 53 and apertures 12 into the vessel. Beer is forced up the tube 10, through recesses 14 into the interior of the valve body 15 and through the aperture in the latter into a discharge pipe 50. When the valve body 15 is closed, excessive pressure in the vessel will force beer up the pipe 10 and force the safety valve 19 off its seat, the excess pressure being discharged to atmosphere. Alternatively the valve unit may be mounted at the bottom of the vessel, in which case the gaseous pressure fluid is admitted to the tube 10, which extends towards the top of the container, and beer is dispensed via the apertures 12 and passage 35. In an alternative embodiment, see Fig. 3, a valve member 36 is moved downwardly and the gas flows through apertures 12 into the vessel. The member 36 is of rubber or the like and projects beyond metal sleeves 39, 40 to abut the cup like part 11 and seal off the pressure gas from the discharge.

Title: Process for producing 5'-inosinic acid
IPC: C12P19/32
Filed: 1966-08-24
Abstract: 51-Inosinic acid is prepared by fermenting a mixed culture of an adenine requiring mutant strain of a micro-organism which is capable of producing 51-inosinic acid and the parent strain thereof in an aqueous nutrient medium under aerobic conditions at a pH of from about 6.0 to 8.5 and recovering the product.  The microorganisms may be mutated morphologically or physiologically during storage, e.g. by means of U.V. light or such mutants may be isolated from natural soils.  Synthetic or natural culture media may be used.  The two strains may be cultured in advance separately or in admixture and may be injected into the fermentation medium at different times or simultaneously. The weight of mutant strain in the fermentation liquor is preferably greater than that of the parent strain.  The pH may be maintained within the range 6.0 to 8.5 by adding aqueous ammonia.  The product may be recovered from the liquor by ion exchange treatment, solvent extraction, metal salt formation or chromatography. Specific micro-organisms referred to are Brevibacterium ammoniagenes and Corynbacterium glutamicum. Hypoxanthine and 51-inosinic acid are also prepared from the mutant strains alone for comparative purposes.

Title: Improved wide band data recording and reproducing system

Abstract: 924,399. Automatic speed control systems. AMPEX CORPORATION. Nov. 8, 1960 [Dec. 21, 1959], No. 38397/60. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XXXVIII] A television signal recorder, of the type generally described in Specifications 798,927-30, records timing pulses 71, 74 with a fixed time separation in the regions outside the lines 68, 69 wherein the video information is recorded in duplicate during the passage of adjacent heads on the head-drum. Pulses are generated by photo-electric means associated with the drum (Fig. 1, not shown) and each pulse is fed to delay means (Fig. 2, not shown) to generate a pair of the pulses 71, 74. On playback, the time interval between the pulses, if other than standard, may be used to operate tape-guide means as described in Specification 883,637, which adjusts the lateral tape tension so as to maintain constant the transverse track lengths. Electronic head-switching means, such as described in Specification 858,145, is so timed in operation that the portions of duplicated video signal containing the timing pulses are avoided in reconstituting the input signal.

Title: Electric arc welding control systems
IPC: H05B7/11
Filed: 1957-12-10
Abstract: 855,817. Supply systems for welding arcs. AIR REDUCTION CO. Inc. Dec. 10, 1957 [Dec. 10, 1956], No. 38404/57. Class 38 (4). In an arc welding system the formation of a crater at the end of a weld is prevented by reducing the welding current, this reduction being effected by varying the impedance of a transistor in a circuit which controls the output of welding current from the supply source. A welding arc 18, 19 is supplied from a three-phase A.C. source over a saturable transformer 10 and a full-wave rectifier 13, the saturation of the transformer 10 being effected by the welding current flowing in a winding 17 and a control current flowing in a winding 16. During normal welding a switch 50 remains open whereby a relay 46 is not energized in which condition contacts 46a are closed. When these contacts are closed the base and collector electrodes of a driving transistor 34 are at the same potential under which condition the base current is a maximum and the collector-emitter impedance is a minimum which effectively'places the base of a further driving transistor 33 at the same potential as its collector and by similar reasoning the base 41 of transistor 27 will be at the same potential as its collector 43. Under this circumstance the impedance of the transistor 27 is a minimum and the current flowing in the control winding 16 will be at its greatest value (governed by the tapping point on a potentiometer 22 fed from an A.C. supply over a rectifying bridge 21). The transformer 10 will thus be in its most saturated state thereby supplying a large current to the weld 18, 19. At the end of the weld the switch 50 is closed to energize relay 46 to close contacts 46b. Capacitor 45 is now connected between the lines 25, 30 and begins to charge and as the charge proceeds the base of driving transistor 34 approaches the potential of its emitter which places the transistor in its high-impedance state causing transistors 33, 27 to take up their high-impedance states thereby reducing the current in the control winding 16 to reduce the saturation of the transformer 10 and hence reducing the current supplied to the weld. The switch 50 may form part of the weld sequence timing device.

Title: Electrical decoding apparatus and selecting device therefor

Filed: 1961-10-31
Abstract: 919,940. Decoding apparatus. AMP. Inc. Oct. 31, 1961 [Nov. 17, 1960], No. 38855/61. Class 40 (1). [Also in Group XXXIX] The invention provides an apparatus which, in response to a received code, selects a corresponding one of a number of output terminals for the application of a signal thereto. The apparatus uses multi-aperture magnetic cores. In a first embodiment a three unit binary code is set up on bi-stable triggers 134, 136, 138. Each trigger feeds two priming circuits, e.g. 122, 124, which energize priming windings, e.g. 110, 112, of the cores of the corresponding core stage. Clearing pulse circuits 90, 96 send pulses alternately to the odd and even core stages. If a code signal 110 is set up on the triggers the operation is as follows. Upon actuation of a pulse source 104 core 102 is set. The subsequent application of a clearing pulse from 96 sets core 30. Since the first digit is a " 1 " aperture 30T2 is in the primed state, so when a clearing pulse is received on line 92 core 38 is set. Similarly, the next digit being a " 1," core 54 is set when core 38 is cleared. Finally, aperture 54T1 being primed due to the last digit " 0," a pulse passes to utilization circuit 84 when core 54 is cleared, this circuit corresponding to the code signal 110. In a second embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), the code signal is fed to the apparatus in serial form.
