Abstract: 904,822. Programmed electric control systems. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Jan. 22, 1959 [Jan. 14, 1958], No. 1354/58. Class 38 (6). The screwdown of a rolling mill may be controlled either automatically in response to a punched tape or manually. The automatic signal may be manually modified, and the purely manual control may be continuously variable or incremental. In one embodiment, the screwdown main drive motors may be controlled manually by coarse and fine selsyns PR(C), PR(F) when a switch S is in the " Ao " position, or the fine selsyn may be replaced by signals from a selsyn NR, when switch S is in the " INc " position. Selsyn NR may be moved in selected increments by a ratchet device marked " Notching Unit " under push-button control so that the rolls are moved to their final position by a series of increments. A tape T said to carry 50 programmes specifies the final position of the rolls and also whether they are to move in one step or by increments. The one step, or " At Once " signals select the Ao position of switch S and a " Destination Sampler " is said to provide an appropriate signal to the coarse and fine selsyn controls. In the case of the increment signals, switch S is said to change over, and the tape signal controls the " Notching Unit " through a device marked " Increment Matrix." The pulse signal from the matrix to the " Notching Unit " may be manually switched to select a higher or lower value of increment. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the increments are individually specified on the tape as a binary number.

Title: Improvements in or relating to radio apparatus
IPC: H03D7/14
Filed: 1932-01-18
Abstract: 389,225. Wireless signalling ; valve amplifying and detecting circuits. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., Marconi House, Strand, London.- {Assignees of Haigis, C. D.; 204, Maple Avenue, Haddonfield, New Jersey, U.S.A.) Jan. 18, 1932, No. 1497. Convention date, Jan. 16, 1931. [Class 40 (v).] Relates to a symmetrically-arranged circuit for transmitting or receiving of wavelengths of the order of 10 metres or less. The arrangement is suitable for a portable or field-set, and also for combined transmission and reception. The two valves 1, 3 are arranged in push-pull so far as the high-frequency input is concerned, but they function also as two demodulators in parallel. The input circuit 11, 12 and the H.F. output circuit 27, 29 are both tuned to the signal carrier, and are arranged to be electrically symmetrical to earth. The whole system oscillates at the signal frequency, but by adjusting the variable grid-leak 20, 21 and condenser 15, the latter discharges periodically at any desired frequency, and the system exhibits high sensitivity. The signal voltages thus amplified are simultaneously rectified in parallel, and applied across the LF coil 35 and through a filter circuit 41 to the input of a low-frequency amplifier 39. The grid resistances 20, 21 may be inserted in shunt across the input coil 11. Chokes 43, 45, 47 isolate the LF parts of the circuit from HF currents. When used as a transmitter, the valve 39 supplies modulating current to the valves 1, 3 through the transformer 35, the grid-current flow being sufficient to energize the aerial 17. The apparatus can be used as a combined transmitter and receiver by fitting a sendreceive switch to change the connections of the valve 39. For portable use the whole system is housed in a metal box, to which one end of the coil 18 is attached, the other end of the coil being connected to a small external wire arranged in capacitive relation to the box so as to form a dipole antenna. Specification 285,169, [Class 40 (v), Wireless signalling &c.], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the preparation of titanium and iron compounds
IPC: C22B34/12
Filed: 1933-01-18
Abstract: Titaniferous-iron minerals such as ilmenite are treated with aqueous hydrochloric acid say at 50--60 DEG  C. to bring both the titanium and iron into solution, or at higher temperatures say at 85--100 DEG C. to bring the iron only into solution and leave the titanium in the residue.  Countercurrent working may be used in either case.  When using the lower temperature a considerable excess of mineral may initially be employed, and residual mineral be treated with successive charges of hydrochloric acid with successive additions of fresh mineral.  When using the higher temperature range a considerable excess of hydrochloric acid may be employed the acid solution obtained being used for preliminary extraction of a further charge of mineral.  In carrying out the process, the mineral may be ground and the reaction be effected with agitation ; or small grains or pieces of the mineral may be supported on a permeable false bottom and the acid be percolated through the mass; or the reaction may be effected in closed vessels under pressure.  Hydrochloric acid gas may be used to maintain or increase the acid concentration and a small amount of hydrofluoric or sulphuric acid may be added, and a titanous salt be present to reduce the iron to the ferrous state.  Iron chloride may be precipitated from the solutions obtained by cooling, refrigeration, or the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid or hydrochloric acid gas.  The mixed solution of iron and titanium chlorides obtained at lower temperatures may be heated to precipitate titanium oxide, whilst the titanium oxide in the residue obtained at higher temperatures may be separated by elutriation.  The separated titanium oxide may be further treated as by dissolution in concentrated sulphuric acid.  Specification 108,693, [Class 1 (iii)], is referred to.
