Title: Improvements in or relating to road traffic detecting arrangements
Inventor: PARKER ERIC
IPC: G01P11/02
Filed: 1964-06-08
Abstract: 1,066,475. Road traffic detectors. DECCA Ltd. Sept. 8, 1965 [June 8, 1964], No. 23572/64. Heading G4Q. In a vehicle detecting system employing a plurality of inductive loops in close proximity each fed with alternating current, improper operation due to coupling of two loops through a vehicle is prevented by energizing the loops in succession. In Fig. 2 (not shown) two loops (L1 and L2) may be energized from the same oscillator (O) via a drive circuit (LD) and a transformer (T) coupled to the loops through respective blocking diodes. The presence of a vehicle in a loop alters the impedance and thereby alters the phase of the current in the drive circuit (LD); this phase change is detected by a phase discriminator (PD) feeding a signal amplifier (SA) coupled to output terminals (O1 and 02) through blocking diodes. A square wave is fed to diodes (D1 and D2) to couple one loop (L1) to the transformer (T) and at the same time to open further diodes (D5 and D6) thereby connecting one output terminal (O1 to an amplifier (SA), and a similar anti-phase square wave couples the other loop (L2) and the other output terminal (02). Storage capacitors (C6 and C7) retain the outputs (at terminals O1 and 02) between connection periods. The system is applicable to measuring the speed of a vehicle with two spaced detector loops.

Abstract: 675,112. Mixing appliances; roller mills. BRITISH RESIN PRODUCTS, Ltd., GLENDINNING, A. Y., REID, L. M., and SULLIVAN, R. Aug. 15, 1950 [Sept. 14, 1949], No. 23706/49. Classes 59 and 86 In a process for milling a plastic composition upon a pair of milling rolls whereon the composition moves laterally from a feeding zone or zones to a stripping zone or zones, partition means fitted into and across the nip and associated with plough knife means, constrain the whole of the composition to pass at least once around the front roll. In Fig. 1, two portions C and D which fit into the nip and which along the nip. The width of the strip fed contour of the rolls, are placed between the feeding zone H and stripping knife G. Plough knives E and F are provided which contact the upper surface of the roll A to fed material from one side to the other side of each partition in the direction of flow of the material whilst the partitions prevent the flow of' untreated material along the rip. The width of. the strip fed across the partition corresponds to the distance K and may be adjusted by altering the relative position of the partition C and plough E which thus affords a means for regulating the rate of flow of materials along the rolls. The knives E and F, Fig. 1, are relatively narrow blades engaging along their length with the surface of the roll but an alternative form of knife is described with reference to Fig. 2, (not shown), comprising a broad blade contacting the roll at one end and lifted away from the roll at the other end to permit the partition C to lie beneath it. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, the partition S is fitted into and across the nip between the rolls Q and R in a skew position so that the leading edge T functions as a plough knife. Additional plough knives may be provided to assist and regulate movement of the composition along the front roll.

Title: Improvements in the stabilizing, or measuring, of the frequency of microwave oscillations
IPC: H03L7/26
Filed: 1948-09-09
Abstract: 640,848. Frequency measurements. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Sept. 9, 1948, No. 23750. Convention date, Jan. 8. [Class 37] [Also in Groups XL (b) and XL (c)] The molecular resonance of certain gases such as ammonia, carbonyl sulphide and methyl halides is utilized for measuring or stabilizing the frequency of micro-wave oscillations. In the micro-wave generator system shown in Fig. 5, the sharply resonant characteristic of a resonant cavity tuned to a desired operating frequency and containing a gas exhibiting molecular resonance at that frequency is utilized to stabilize the frequency of a multicavity magnetron 10. The gas 12 is contained in a cavity 11 which is coupled to the magnetron so as to appear thereto as a highly reactive load capable of pulling the frequency of the generated oscillations to the desired value. This is effected by adjustment of the distance a, from the wave-guide 9 to the window 17 of the cavity 11 and the distance b from the cavity 11 to the magnetron 10. Two cavities 13, 14, Fig. 6, may be provided, the cavity 13 being filled with gas and the cavity 14 being identical therewith but not filled with gas. The cavities 13, 14 are spaced apart by a distance c such that the reflection at the junction of the cavity 14 with the wave-guide 9 cancels out the reflected wave at the junction of the cavity 13 and the waveguide 9 so that only the impedance component due to gas resonance remains. A screw 15 is provided for fine adjustment of the electrical distance c. The chambers 11, 13 for containing the gas are each provided with a window 17 of thin mica, which is transparent to the microwave energy from the generator. The gas pressure may be less than one-tenth of a millimeter of mercury. The frequency-stabilizing element may be a length of gas-tight concentric line 18, Fig. 8, filled with gas and connected to a valve 19 so as to form a tuned grid circuit. A resonant cavity 20, Fig. 9, or a length of wave-guide 21, Fig. 10, filled with a gas exhibiting molecular resonance at the fundamental or higher modes of the cavity or guide may be used as an absorption wavemeter for adjusting an oscillator to operate at a molecular resonance frequency of the gas or to check whether the frequency of generated oscillations corresponds with that of the precision wavemeter. A set of precision wavemeters or frequency standards for a large number of discrete frequencies may be made by suitable choice of the gas, and of the dimensions of the associated cavities. Each wavemeter unit, Figs. 9 and 10, may be provided with a crystal rectifier for connection with a sensitive meter 22.

Filed: 1965-06-04
Abstract: 1,100,290. Photographic copying apparatus. GENERAL ANILINE & FILM CORPORATION June 4, 1965 [June 5, 1964], No. 23913/65. Heading G2A. As an original 29 is fed into a photo-copying apparatus, first its leading edge and then its trailing edge operate switches which control the feeding forward of a web 22 of sensitive material and then the cutting-off of an appropriate length. The web 22 comes from a spool 16 in a separate section 14 of the main housing, and is conveyed so as to meet the original and pass in contact therewith between rollers 7, 8. From here the sheets pass into the copying section proper of the apparatus. As the original moves towards rollers 7, 8, its leading edge trips first a finger 43 and then a finger 42. These operate switches which first close a clutch circuit, and then energize it. This initiates movement of the web 22 by means of an appropriate drive. As the trailing edge of the original leaves finger 43, the clutch is de-energized, so that movement of web 22 stops. At the same time a solenoid is energized which rotates a guillotine blade 37, so cutting-off a length of web 22 equal to the length of the original. As the trailing edge leaves finger 42, the solenoid is de-energized, and the blade 37 returns to its original position. As the leading and trailing edges of the original pass a further switch 44, an indicator light is first switched on, and then off. The separate housing section 14 containing the spool of sensitive material can tilt about a pivot 15, and the balance is so arranged that when most of the spool has been unwound, the section 14 falls open Fig. 3 (not shown), thus providing a visual reminder that a further spool is required.
