Filed: 1928-03-22
Abstract: 289,425. Dupuy, H. April 27, 1927, [Convention date]. Addition to 198,661. Coking processes. -Apparatus for the distillation of solid materials of the kind described in the parent Specification, and in which the material is distilled in a closed circuit of superheated steam and gas includes the use of a steam injector, the suction chamber of which is directly connected with the distillation chamber, and, by a bye-pass to a heat economiser and con denser for the dis tillates. The materia in the chamber ( is distilled by steam from a superheater e, and a steam injector c<1> is connected to the chamber a and to a chamber d in which the hot residue (in the case of solids) from the chamber a delivers its heat to the steam on the way to the superheater. A bye-pass k leads a mixture of steam and distillates to a heat economiser t and condenser m, which generates enough steam for supplying the injector through a passage v. The uncondensed gases escape by an outlet o. Fig. 2 shows two superposed skips e, a<1> containing respectively incandescent coal and the material to be distilled. The injector c<1> causes circulation through the skips of the steam from pipe v, which is superheated in skip e before passing through the charge in skip a<1>.

Title: Automatic condensate-removal valve
Inventor: KAUER GEORGE CHARLES
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1964-03-02
Abstract: An automatic condensate removal device Fig. 1 (not shown) for location at the bottom of an air receiver or air filter in a compressed air system has a restricted fluid inlet 16 connected to the system and a condensate removal outlet 28 controlled by a main valve 22 biased to its closed position by a spring 26 and movable to an open position by air pressure in a chamber 38 acting on a diaphragm 34 when the pressure in the system communicated to a chamber 32 on the other side of the diaphragm decreases.  When the air pressure in the system is increasing, the pressure in the chamber 38 also increases, since air passes thereto from the inlet 16 via a chamber 14, a filter 31, the chamber 32, a slot 73 in a valve stem 60 associated with the valve 22, a passage 40 and through an opening 46 controlled by a valve 48 urged to the closed position by a spring 50. Upon a decrease in the pressure in the system the pressure in chambers 14, 32 also decreases whereupon pressurized air trapped in the chamber 38 moves the diaphragm 34 and the valve stem 60 which opens the main valve 22 and allows condensate and air to pass to the outlet 28.  The opening of the valve 22 further lowers the pressure in chambers 14, 32 resulting in continued opening of the valve 22 until the valve 48 movable with the diaphragm 34 is opened by abutment with a pin 74 on which the stem 60 is slidable, thereby releasing pressure from the chamber 38 whereby the main valve 22 closes.  In a further embodiment, Fig. 4 (not shown) the valves are of different construction but they perform the same function as those described.

Title: Reading device for cryptographic machine
IPC: G09C1/10
Filed: 1963-03-05
Abstract: 1,118,671. Ciphering. PHILIPS USFA N.V. 5 March, 1963 [6 March, 1962], No. 8826/63. Heading G5X. [Also in Division H4] A ciphering device comprises a group of key elements which can be stepped and which provide a " zero " or a " one " output, and means for adding the sum of the key element outputs to the signal input to provide an output signal. In Fig. 1 four key elements 1-4 are stepped irregularly and each occupies one of a prime number of states which indicate a " zero " or a " one ", the states being read by reading devices 9-12. A signal source 44 supplies a signal, which is either zero or one, through switch 81 to a bi-stable device 41 which adds the signal to the output of element 1, the addition law being that like signals produce zero output and unlike signals a " one " output. Similarly the output of device 41 is added in unit 42 to the output of element 2, and so on to produce a ciphered output at 82. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the outputs of elements 2 and 3 are added together and then added to the output of device 41. In a further modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), the outputs of pairs of elements 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 are added together and the two sums are then added together, the total being added to the input signal. In another modification, Fig. 5 (not shown), each of the elements 1-4 is provided with five separate reading devices feeding five bi-stable devices so that five input signals in parallel can be ciphered simultaneously. Reversing switches can be used instead of bi-stable devices, Fig. 6 (not shown). In another arrangement, Fig. 7, the outputs of elements 1-4 are applied to " and " gates 65-68, to each of which the signal from source 44 is applied in turn through a distributer 70. The outputs of the gates are added by a counter 69 which changes its state on receipt of a " one " input and is unaffected by a " zero " input. At the end of a cycle a pulse is applied at C to allow the output of counter 69 to pass through unit 110 to the output 82. The ciphered text or the plain text may be applied at 81 to " and " gate 83; then if the text and the source 44 are both " one " the gate 83 will supply a " one " to counter 69.

Title: Improvements in or relating to speed regulating devices
IPC: G05D13/10
Filed: 1938-03-24
Abstract: 514,044. Centrifugal governors. PRECISION MECANIQUE. March 24, 1938, No. 9102. Convention date, March 21, 1938. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Sept. 26, 1938.] [Class 57] A fuel regulating device for an internal combustion engine of the kind including centrifugal masses which are adapted to work in opposition to resilient or spring means, the flexibility of these resilient means being greater at low engine speeds and decreasing with the engine speed, comprises a main spring 2 and an auxiliary spring 13', said main spring being so arranged that over a part of the movement of the throttle pedal or lever corresponding, to a supercharge of fuel, the centrifugal masses M will be acted upon by the auxiliary spring only, and said auxiliary spring is rendered' inoperative during the normal movement of the throttle pedal and during at least a part of the compression of the main spring corresponding to low engine speeds. The masses M are carried by a plate 6 keyed on a shaft 7 connected to the engine .shaft, and the main spring 2 bears against a ring 3 and a plate 4 which is guided on a support 15 and is provided with lateral surfaces acted upon by an arm 5. The throttle pedal may transmit its movement to a shaft 22 carrying an eccentric 23 coacting with a collar 24 integral with the arm 5, the latter having a shoulder 25 to bear against an adjustable abutment 26. The arm 5 is divided into two branches between which operates a lever 1 which is connected by an articulated joint or by a spring to a part B connected to the fuel injection control member or rack. An abutment 8, which may'be adjustable from outside, has feet 8<1> applied against the plate 6 at starting speeds. A sleeve 9, slidable on a flange 10 integral with the plate 6, has an annular shoulder 12 against which the masses M bear. The auxiliary spring 13<1> is interposed between the sleeve 9 and the plate 4, the movement of the sleeve 9 being imparted to lever 1 by means of a spring 17<1> acting on a sliding member 32 connected to lever 1 by means of aspindle 33. When the speed increases, centrifugal force moves the sleeve 9 the distance s between the shoulder 12 and-the abutment 8, the lever 1 displaces the rack and cuts out the starting supercharge, and the. abutment 8 is subjected to the action of the spring 2. When this is overcome, the sleeve 9 and lever 1 move to the right and the fuel delivery diminishes. The lever 1 may be acted upon by a spring- controlled pivoted lever operated by a Bowdenwire for stopping the engine. Fig. 3 (not shown) discloses means for putting the device for eliminating the supercharge into and out of action at will. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 states also that use may be made of a single spring only, and discloses a modification in which the auxiliary spring is coupled to the lever 1 and continues to coact with the main spring for all speeds above that at which the supercharge is eliminated. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
