Filed: 1955-07-26
Abstract: 785,846. Hydrostatic torque converters. SOC. DE FABRICATION D'ARMEMENTS ET DE MOTEURS S.O.F.A.M. July 26, 1955 [July 31, 1954], No. 21566/55. Class 69 (2). An hydrostatic torque converter for a vehicle comprises a pump cylinder barrel 2 fast with an input shaft 19 and delivering to a stationary motor cylinder barrel 3 through a valve plate 15 fast with an output shaft 17, the pump and motor pistons being reciprocated by swashplates 8, 10 fast rotationally with a cage 16 fast with the output shaft. The inclinations of the swash-plates are varied automatically by a centrifugal governor 24, the swash-plates being formed with fingers 21 engaging a slideway 22 in a sleeve 23 which is formed at one end as a cylinder sliding on a piston 27 provided on the cage 16. A valve 28, under the control of the governor 24, admits liquid to either side of the piston 27. Means are provided for automatically adjusting the governor in response to variations of the position of the engine throttle, and a manual control is provided to render the governor inoperative. The axis about which a swash-plate tilts may be at a slight angle to the plane of the swash-plate. Idling and starting.-The high and low pressure sides of the converter are directly connected through a valve 29. A source of pressure R is in communication with a chamber 31 of the valve 29 through a manually operable valve 30. Centrifugal valves 32, 33 are provided in the shafts 19, 17 and serve to open chamber 31 to exhaust under idling conditions, under which conditions the valve 29 is open and the converter does not transmit torque. When either shaft 19 or 17 is rotating at a given speed the valve 32 or 33 closes and chamber 31 is under pressure. The valve 29 then closes, and torque is transmitted. Reverse drive is obtained by reversing the inclination of the swash-plate 8 by means of a supplementary piston 34 controlled by a manually-actuated valve 35.

Title: Improvements in method and apparatus for separating suspended solids from liquid
IPC: B01D21/00
Filed: 1934-07-24
Abstract: 437,544. Gravity-separation apparatus. TRIGGS, W. W., 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.-(General Zeolite Co. ; 333, West 25th Place, Chicago, U.S.A.) July 24, 1934, No. 21674. [Class 111] Solid matter which separates out of liquid flowing slowly in straight lines over superposed uninterrupted settling surfaces is removed and discharged into collecting chambers by scrapers moving transversely of the lines of flow. A tank 19, Figs. 2 and 3, is divided by a vertical partition 20 and horizontal partitions 21 into a feed compartment 22 and shallow settling compartments 23. Mixed solid and liquid supplied to the compartment 22 is kept of a uniform consistency therein by air or mechanical agitating apparatus and is distributed to the settling-compartments through slots 24. Clear liquid leaves the settling-compartments through perforated pipes 25 which extend the full width of each compartment. The settled matter is pushed laterally in each compartment by scrapers 33 extending through the slots 24 and attached to a vertical support 35, which is mounted on a carriage 37 moved from side to side of the tank on rails 39 by means of a threaded shaft 40 driven from a motor 41. The partitions 21 have their edges 21<a> turned downwardly so that zones 46 are formed at either side through which the solid matter pushed outwardly by the scrapers 33 can fall to extensions 46a for discharge by screw conveyers 47. Matter settling in the feed chamber 22 is swept by a scraper 35b on the end of the support 35 through openings 22x into the extensions 46a. A modified form of apparatus is described in which there is a feed compartment at either end of the tank and the clear liquid outlet pipes 25 are at the centre, the scrapers being connected at either end to a support in the corresponding feed compartment, which supports are mounted on a single carriage 37 reciprocated by a rack-and-pinion device. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 10, the feed compartment with the scraper support 70 is arranged centrally and the settling compartments 67 are in horizontal pairs at either side of the feed compartment.

Title: Improvements in or relating to cathode ray tube apparatus
Inventor: DAWSON LESLIE HOWARD
IPC: G01S7/12
Filed: 1968-05-08
Abstract: 1,260,310. Cathode-ray tube displays. MARCONI CO. Ltd. 11 April, 1969 [8 May, 1968], No. 21709/68. Heading H4T. In an electromagnetically deflected cathoderay tube system utilizing a tube with a circular screen the deflection currents are limited so that movement of the cathode-ray spot is confined within a polygonal area circumscribing the screen, the sides of the polygon, if of only four sides, being at 45 degrees to the X and Y coordinate directions. With this arrangement the total deflection power dissipated in the deflection coils is reduced in comparison with the power involved when the spot scans an "upright" square i.e. one having its sides parallel to the X and Y co-ordinates since deflection current is required in only one of the two deflection coils, X or Y, to deflect the beam to the corners of the square. The invention is primarily intended for and is of maximum advantage when applied to P.P.I. type displays. Fig. 1, shows an embodiment in which the X and Y deflection drive sources feed the deflection amplifiers (not shown) via respective differential amplifiers X4, Y4 and conductors X34, Y34. The outputs of the amplifiers and the inverted outputs derived via unity gain amplifiers X8, Y8 are fed to a polygon shape determining network S which, in the case of an octagon, comprises, as shown, four diodes X11, X12, Y11 and Y12, the outputs of which are combined via resistor X13, Y13 in a common resistor 1 connected via transistor 2, which provides a "virtual" earth, to the base electrodes of transistors X15, Y15, the emitters of which are reverse biased by the voltage of a reference source 6. This voltage is predetermined as a function of the maximum permissible deflection in the X or Y direction and when this deflection is exceeded the current flow through one of the diodes X11, X12 and/or one of the diodes Y11, Y12 produces a voltage drop across resistor 5 (and across diode 7 which compensates for the base-emitter voltages of X15, Y15) which exceeds the reference voltage so that X15 and Y15 conduct and the reference voltage is applied to the junctions X7, Y7 between the oppositely poled diodes X5, X6 and Y5, Y6. When such excess deflection occujs one of the diodes X6, X7 and/or one of the diodes Y6, Y7 conducts depending on the polarity of the deflections sources X, Y with respect to earth, and the current flow IX and/or IY results in the junction between the resistors X1, X2 or X<SP>1</SP>1, X<SP>1</SP>2 and/or Y1, Y2 or Y<SP>1</SP>1, Y<SP>1</SP>2 going negative so that the gain of amplifier X4 and/or Y4 is reduced. The. beam. is blanked adjacent the. desired limiting position by a blanking voltage derived from a transistor X17 via lead X16. The shape determining networks may be replaced by other networks (Figs. 2, 3 and 4, not shown) providing 4, 12 and 16 sided polygons respectively.

A method of bending a plate to a predetermined shape involving complex curvatures comprises plotting paths through points of equal incremental changes of direction along predetermined lines of concave curvature, and applying heat followed by immediate cooling along said paths. The paths may be plotted by a computer which may control induction heating means for heating the plate. An inductor and transformer may be mounted on a trolley traversable across the plate along said paths. Alternatively the plate may be moved under a stationary inductor. The method may be applied to the shell plating of a ship.

Filed: 1954-07-26
Abstract: 750,275. Purifying gases. BERGWERKSVERBAND ZUR VERWERTUNG VON SCHUTZRECHTEN DER KOHLENTECHNIK GES. July 26, 1954, No. 21781/54. Class 55(2). In a process of removing H 2 S from coal gas and like gases by scrubbing the gases in compressed condition with aqueous ammonia circulated between a gas scrubber and a dissociator, the compressed gas is first passed through a cooling and separating vessel to obtain an aqueous condensate of high ammonia content which is introduced continuously into the scrub - bing liquid leaving the scrubber to be treated in the dissociator ; the gas is then scrubbed in countercurrent to the aqueous ammonia, in two stages, the first stage providing a relatively long contact between gas and scrubbing liquid and the second stage to which aqueous ammonia from the dissociator is supplied providing a relatively short contact between gas and scrubbing-liquid ; the amount of scrubbing liquid in circulation being maintained constant by continuously withdrawing an amount equal to the condensate added. As shown in the Figure gas enters a cooling and separating vessel 3 and enters a two stage scrubber 7, the lower stage being provided with suitable packing. Aqueous ammonia is added through line 8 and the gas leaves the scrubber passing through an auxiliary scrubber at the top of the main scrubber and wherein it is washed with water. Scrubbing liquid is withdrawn from the base of the scrubber by line 9 and passes in part via line 10, heat exchanger 11 to a dissociator 14 and in part via line 16 to the top part 17 of the dissociator where it is sprayed over cooling coils 18. Liquid in the dissociator trickles down over packing and collects in the base 15 where it is heated by a steam-coil. H 2 S and CO 2  are driven off together with some ammonia and leave by line 19. The dissociator operates at a pressure of 5-7 atmospheres and the treated scrubbing liquid is withdrawn and expanded in a vessel 23, the ammonia gas obtained being passed via line 24 and inlets 26 into the gases ascending the second scrubbing stage. Aqueous ammonia is withdrawn from vessel 23 by line 27 passes by heat exchanger 11 lines 28 and 8 to the top of the second washing stage. Condensate from vessel 3 is added to the scrubbing liquid through line 20 and surplus scrubbing liquid is withdrawn through line 33. The scrubber is operated at pressures not exceeding 20 atmospheres.

[Classes 108 (ii) and 108 (iii)] In a resilient mounting particularly for the suspension of power-driven vehicles in which the wheels are carried by rocking levers or quadrilateral linkages, the movements of the supporting axles of which are resisted by rubber or like bodies of outwardly-increasing cross-section, each rubber &c. body 6 is fitted, e.g. vulcanized, between coaxially mounted curved rings 5, 7, one (5) of which is rigidly connected with a supporting axle 4 and the other (7) with a sleeve 2 carrying a bearing 10 for the axle. As shown, the sleeve 2 is secured to a tubular cross-member 3 of the vehicle frame. The radii of curvature of the rings are different so that when the rings are rotated relatively to one another, the rubber is stressed substantially uniformly throughout. To provide an adjustable friction damping device and in order to centre and guide the inner end of the member 4 a hemispherical member 8 is secured thereto and separated by a friction lining 9 from the fixed bearing 10. The ring 5 is rigidly connected to a socket 11 which is slotted so as to be slidable over but non-rotatable relatively to the rocking lever 1 under the action of an adjusting screw 12 screwed into the outer end of the member 4 and adapted to press a disc 13 against the socket 11, thus simultaneously compressing the rubber body 6 and tightening the friction damper.
