Title: Improvements in phase controlling systems using electron beam discharge tubes
IPC: H01J31/04
Filed: 1940-08-21
Abstract: 541,704. Cathode-ray tubes. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. Aug. 21, 1940, No. 13285. Convention date, Nov. 18, 1939. [Classes 39 (i) and 40 (v)] Phase modulation of a carrier wave is effected by applying a signal between a rod 19 and a cylinder 18 within a cathode ray tube ; the carrier wave is applied through a transformer 22 to deflecting coils 16 and plates 17 to cause a beam from the gun 12 to sweep inside a cylinder 20 divided along a helix into two parts a, b. The beam passes between the rod 19 and cylinder 18, the signal variations causing displacement of the point of impact of the beam along the cylinder 20. A condenser 23 is connected in series or parallel with the coils 16. A magnet 15 is adjustable along the tube for focusing. In a modification the inside of the cylinder is made to emit secondaries an output electrode being placed within the cylinder and surrounding the rod 19. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes an arrangement of impact electrodes consisting of a plate divided along a spiral line. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to eddy current track braking apparatus
IPC: B61K7/12
Filed: 1931-05-05
Abstract: 378,047. Track brakes for vehicles. GES. FœR OBERBAUFORSCHUNG UND RANGIERTECHNIK (formerly GES. FœR OBERBAUFORSCHUNG), Europahaus am Anhalter Bahnhof, Berlin. May 5, 1931, No. 13291. Convention date, May 13, 1930. Addition to 358,767. [Class 103 (i).] In eddy current track brakes for vehicles, as described in the parent Specification, the energizing winding is constituted by a number of coils 4 each surrounding a core 3 connecting the upper and lower parts 1, 2 of the brake bar. The bar is mounted on inks 5 so that it may engage the side of the vehicle wheel 10. To reduce leakage of the magnetic flux on the side of the bar remote from the wheel, it may be cut away as indicated by the line 11. This leakage may also be reduced by increasing the distance between the parts 1, 2 of the bar as shown in Fig. 3 and to further increase the braking action the bar is provided with polepieces 12, 13 to enable contact with the wheel to be effected along a longer chord than would otherwise be the case. The polepiece 13 is carried by plates 18 secured to the part 2 and is separated from the polepiece 12 by a piece 14 of non- magnetizable material.

Class 100(1) In apparatus for feeding sheets, flat bags &c. in a packing or paper processing machine wherein the sheets &c. are separated sequentially from a pile and each placed between a pair of grippers mounted on conveyer chains, each gripper comprises a sleeve body 2 in which is a slidable and rotatable rod 4 carrying a gripper foot 5 which is in the shape of a sector of a circle in plan, and when the rod is allowed to retract within the sleeve, it rotates to swing the sector behind the side edge of the sheet and grip it against the base 21 of the sleeve body. The rod 4 is urged inwardly of the sleeve 2 by a spring 9, and is rotated by the engagement of fixed balls or pins 8 with helical grooves 7 in the rod or a sleeve 11 secured thereto. The two opposed grippers 1 are of the same construction, except that the gripper feet 5 are arranged to rotate in opposite directions to engage behind the side edges of the sheet.

Title: Method of and apparatus for removing scales from fish
IPC: A22C25/02
Filed: 1943-08-17
Abstract: 570,809. Descaling fish. CLARKE, M. D. A. (Gorton-Pew Fisheries Co., Ltd.). Aug. 17, 1943. No. 13345. [Class 28 (ii)] Scales are removed from fish by an inclined rotating circular cage made of sharp edges, e.g., expanded metal. The fish are picked up by an elevator 68 and deposited in a trough whereby a stream of water 71 conveys them to the cage. The sharp edges 35 of the expanded metal penetrate underneath the scales and the force of the fish coming against them detaches the scales. The cage is supported on rollers 17, 18 one of which is driven by a motor and driving chain. The expanded metal cage is fitted into a stronger supporting screen of woven wire provided with rings 5 &c., at each section. A perforated internal pipe 65 sprays water on the fish while going through the cage and helps to impel them against the sharp edges of the expanded metal so that the scales are removed. The cage is preferably made of stainless steel.

IPC: H03C1/22
Abstract: 134,725. Ehret, C. D. Feb. 20, 1919. Thermionic relays and repeaters.-In an electric signalling system employing a three-electrode thermionic device, the operation of the signalling element varies the heating current of the filament and the potential of the grid. When a reaction system is not employed, a source of fluctuating current and a battery are placed in the grid circuit, and the frequency of this current is above the limit of audition when the system is employed for telephony. The filament may be divided into two parts, one of which is supplied with the variable current. The heating circuit of the filament f, Fig. 1, contains a microphone or other signalling element m, and this circuit is inductively connected to the circuit of the grid g by a transformer p<1>, s<1>. The grid circuit contains a source S of fluctuating current, and a battery b which maintains the potential of the grid g negative, relative to that of the filament f. In a modification, the microphone m and transformer winding p' are connected in shunt with the filament f across the battery c. In a further modification, the circuit of the battery C, the winding p' and microphone m is inductively coupled to the grid circuit and also to the heating circuit of the filament, which circuit contains a battery. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the filament is divided into two parts f, f<1>, one of which f is supplied with current from a battery k, while the other, f, is connected in circuit with a battery U and a microphone m. The microphone circuit is inductively coupled to the grid circuit by a transformer p<1>, s<1> to the terminals of the secondary winding S' of which is connected the source S of fluctuating current. In the modification shown in Fig. 6 a second microphone m<1> is placed in the circuit of the filament f<1>. In a further modification, the circuit of the microphone m is inductively coupled to the grid circuit and to the heating circuit of the filament f<1>. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the output circuit of the oscilation generator A is coupled to filament-grid circuit by a transformer p<1>, s<2> and the filament f is connected in parallel with the microphone m. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, a known form of thermonic device having two grids g, g' and two plates w, w<1>, is provided, with two filaments f, f<1> one of which, f<1>, is placed in circuit with the m and battery C. A source S of fluctuating current and a battery or condenser b may be placed in the filament grid circuit of the device.

Title: Fuel supply system for a gas turbine engine power plant
Inventor: KING CHARLES SPENCER
IPC: F02C9/16
Filed: 1954-05-11
Abstract: 765,107. Gas turbine plant. ROVER CO., Ltd. May 5, 1955 [May 11, 1954], No. 13681/54. Class 110 (3). In a gas turbine engine fuel system comprising an engine-driven pump having a constant output characteristic delivering fuel to a burner having means for varying its nozzle area in accordance with its rate of fuel supply, a by-pass leading from between the pump outlet and burner inlet has means for diverting from the burner, a proportion of the pump output which is varied by maximum and minimum engine speed control means and an accelerator. A constant output pump 10, which is of the swash-plate type and is driven from the turbine-compressor shaft 13 through reduction gearing 11, 12, draws fuel from the reservoir 16 and delivers it to the burner 17. The burner 17 is of a known type in which a piston 18 is movable against a bias by the fuel pressure in a cylinder 19 to position a valve member which varies the effective area of the nozzle. The area of the nozzle increases with increase of fuel supply and vice versa. A bypass 20 extends between the pump outlet and inlet and the flow through it is controlled by three valves 23, 24, 25. Valves 24, 25 are actuated by speed-responsive governors 26, 27 driven from the shaft 13. The governor 26 is the minimum speed and the governor 27 the maximum speed governor. The valve 23 is the manually-operated accelerator valve. Under idling conditions, the valves 23 are fully open. If the valve 23 is moved in the closing direction the fuel supply to the burners is increased and the engine accelerates. If this causes the engine to overspeed, the valve 25 opens to by-pass fuel around the valve 23.
