Title: Improvements in electrical condensers
IPC: H01G4/40
Filed: 1927-12-22
Abstract: 290,556. Dubilier Condenser Co. (1925), Ltd., (Assignees of Nyman, A.). May 14, 1927, [Convention date]. Condensers comprise a number of sections so arranged that adjacent sections carry currents in opposite or divergent directions, this arrangement having the advantage that the electromagnetic fields with their accompanying electrostatic fields are substantially neutralized and heating due to losses is reduced. The mica cover 2, Fig. 1, carries a terminal 4 connected to the lead 5 of the foils 6 of one section, the remaining foils of that section being connected by a ground lead 9 to the casing. The leads 5, 9 cross each other at 10 but do not contact with one another. Similarly, a lead 12 from a terminal 11 contacts with the foils 13 of an adjacent section or sections, the remaining foils of which are connected by a ground lead 16 to the casing. Dielectric separators 18 separate the sections from one another and insulating end blocks for the stack, and the latter is secured by clamp plates 19 and rods 21. The current directions are shown by arrows 23, 24 which pass through the condenser in substantially opposite directions. Fig. 6 shows another form wherein down leads 105, 112 are connected to actuate sections, the corresponding ground leads being 109, 116 and the current directions those of arrows 123, 124. A wax filling is provided. In both forms, the leads are connected to the outsides of the terminals, an arrangement which is stated to reduce heating, and a metal bridge, as 125, with a terminal may be provided. In condensers using a set of series-connected elements with a number of such sets arranged in parallel, the external leads are so connected that in the whole stack adjacent sections carry currents in opposite directions (Fig. 8, not shown). Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 247,881 and 248,385.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electric cables
IPC: H01B9/06
Filed: 1931-12-16
Abstract: Compositions of a rubber-like nature for making parts of electric cables are made by reacting halogen additive compounds of olefines, such as ethylene and propylene dichlorides and dibromides, with soluble polysulphides, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and ammonium polysulphide.  In an example aqueous sodium polysulphide is heated under reflux with ethylene dichloride at about 70 DEG  C. After about an hour the temperature is raised to cause refluxing of ethylene dichloride and steam, after which the yellow plastic withdrawn from the cooled liquid is boiled several times in water.

Abstract: 846,954. Deflecting flaps on aircraft. BRISTOL SIDDELEY ENGINES Ltd. Nov. 3, 1958 [Nov. 8, 1957], No. 34941/57. Class 4. [Also in Group XXVI] A jet propulsion engine fitted in an aircraft has a jet pipe 10 and nozzle through which the exhaust gases normally pass to atmosphere and means associated with the jet pipe whereby the exhaust gases may be deflected into one or more noise suppression nozzles 15. The nozzles 15 are located in the aircraft wing and each comprises five elongated exhaust gas discharge passages 16 extending spanwise of the wing and spaced apart one above the other. The passages 16 are arranged in an oblong section air flow duct 18 which communicates through a passage 32 with an inlet opening 30 in the upper surface of the wing. The opening 30 is normally closed by an air scoop 19 which may be opened when the nozzles 15 are in operation so that they are cooled by a flow of ram air. The portion of the wing downstream of each nozzle comprises a pair of flaps 21, 22 which in their normal closed position form part of the wing profile. When the nozzles 15 are in use, the flaps are opened to the dotted line position by actuators 40. One or both flaps may be operated to control the direction of discharge from the noise suppresion nozzles. In a further alternative the flap 21 or flap 22 or both may be pivoted outwards so as to form air brakes. The ram air intake 19 may be located in the leading edge of the wing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to apparatus for regulating angles of relative rotation between a plurality of rotatable elements or units in a machine
IPC: H02P5/485
Filed: 1934-12-05
Abstract: 445,958. Automatic control of speed and synchronism. SIEMENS-SCHUCKERTWERKE AKT.-GES., Siemensstadt, Berlin. Dec. 5, 1934, No. 34964. Convention date, Dec. 16, 1933. [Class 38 (iv)] The speed of ar electric motor driving a shaft in synchron ism with anothershaf is controlled so thai the relative angula; positions of the shaft are maintained. A device responsive to variations in the rela tive angular positior actuates an astatic electric regulator, i.e. one in which the internal forces are balanced against the same for a determined value of the regulating force in all its positions of adjustment. As shown a resistance controller 5 is connected in in parallel with the actuating coil 6 of an astatic regulator 17 comprising a carbon pile 9 in series with the field 8 of the controlled motor 1. The arm of the controller 5 occupies a position dependent upon the angular relationship between the shaft of the motor and a pilot shaft 4, since a differential gear connects the shaft 14 to the controller with shafts coupled to the motor 1 and the shaft 4 respectively. Any change in the position of the controller arm is followed by a change in the position of the regulator 17, which causes a correction of the speed of motor 1 such as will restore the controller arm to its original position, since the regulator 17 is not in equilibrium until this position is again reached. A spring-mounted dashpot 10 checks hunting.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for Generating Position-Control Signals
Inventor: WILEY FRANKLYN LOUIS
IPC: G06K15/22
Filed: 1967-07-31
Abstract: 1,187,622. Position control systems. CALIFORNIA COMPUTER PRODUCTS Inc. 31 July, 1967 [8 Aug., 1966], No. 35149/67. Heading G4H. Apparatus for generating .position control signals, which in the embodiment described control plotters 18 (Fig. 1), includes a store 30 for storing a multi-digit data character, one group of the digits representing a number and a further group of digits representing a direction, incremental position control signals being derived from the number and supplied one -on -or more output terminals 35-38 in accordance with the stored direction. As shown eight bit control signals from a data processor, e.g. a digital computer, are serially fed into an input shift register 15. Several plotter function control signals, which have all "ones" in the first five bit positions, precede the position control signals, the last three bits of these signals determining which plotter is enabled, the size of the step and whether the pen is tracing ("pen down") or not ("pen up"). Three bits of the position control signals determine whether the chosen plotter moves in the positive or negative X direction and/or the positive or negative Y direction, the remaining five bits giving, in binary code, the number of steps the plotter is to move through. When the register 15 is loaded, mode control logic 20 examines bit positions 1-5 of its contents to determine whether a function or position control signal is stored, decoder 21 being enabled to decode the former and give a control signal on output leads 22-27. If a position control signal is stored, register 30 is enabled to receive the contents of register 15 in parallel. Decoder 21 detects the directional information encoded in bit positions 6-8 to enable one or more of leads 35-38 whilst mode control logic 20 counts down the first five bit positions of register 30 to zero, a control signal being transmitted over the enabled leads either once (for half step plot) or twice (for full step plot) for each count down pulse applied to register 30.

Abstract: 1,111,932. Group traffic control. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE & ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. 15 Aug., 1966 [18 Aug., 1965], No. 35450/65. Heading G4Q. A number of identical master controllers each controlling a number of local traffic controllers are interconnected to form a single group operating with a common cycle time under the control of a selected one of the master controllers. This " super master controller is selected by a signal from an allocator stepping switch which is connected to all the master controllers, the switch being driven manually, by time control or by a fault signal received from the selected " super " master controller. Each master controller may be arranged to operate on the same signalling plan, in which case all the other masters act as standby for the selected super master controller, or they may be arranged to have different signalling plans and be selected to operate at different times of the day or preferably each pair of master controllers are arranged with the same signalling plan, different from the other pairs, and one master then acts as a standby for the other master controller of its pair. During introduction of super master control or when the signalling plan is changed, the local controllers are disconnected from their masters during that part of the signalling cycle when the adjustment of the master timing takes place. Where the adjustment is large this is spread over a number of signalling cycles.

Abstract: 1284313 Combination locks K G C MAROTTE 22 July 1970 [28 July 1969] 35480/70 Heading E2A A combination lock comprises a casing 14 having a rotor 15 mounted therein, the casing 14 or rotor 15 carrying a plurality of slidable locking elements 36, a preselected number of which in the lock "locked" condition precluding rotation of the rotor 15 relative to the casing 14. The remainder of the locking elements 36 in the lock "locked" condition do not prevent the relative rotation. An actuating means is provided for moving the preselected number of locking elements into a position(s) in which the relative rotation is allowed. The actuating means comprises a knob structure 110 which is mounted on the casing 14 for relative longitudinal and rotational movement therewith, the knob structure carrying a pin 156 which on longitudinal movement of the knob structure towards the locking elements 36 passes through an aperture 106 of a series of apertures 106 in the casing each aperture being aligned with a different one of the locking elements 36 to move the locking element co-operating therewith. The knob structure 110 in a forward position is coupled to the rotor 15 for rotating the rotor after it has been released. The locking elements 36 are housed in slots in the rotor and are provided with cut outs 37 which when the cut outs register with an abutment 91, 92 do not prevent rotation of the rotor. If one of said remainder of the locking elements is actuated the lock cannot be unlocked until all of the elements 36 have been reset. This is achieved through a lever operated setting member 46 mounted within the rotor 15, the lever 53 being actuated by the pin 156 of the knob structure 110. When the rotor 15 is unlocked rotation thereof drives a latch actuating member 76. In one position of the knob structure 110 the casing 14 and rotor 15 are locked together by a locking member 111 which co-operates with aligned slots 109, 32 in the casing 14 and rotor 15 respectively. In said one position the re-setting of the locking elements 36 is effected.
