Title: Method and apparatus for producing a therapeutically useful radiation
IPC: H01J35/00
Filed: 1963-05-23
Abstract: 1,057,561. Therapeutic radiation, producing. A. PRIORE. May 23, 1963 [June 1, 1962], No. 20545/63. Heading H5R. [Also in Division H1] A therapeutically useful radiation is stated to be produced by mixing, in a cavity 8, Fig. 3, a stream of charged particles (electrons or positive ions) and a radiation of centimetric wavelength (preferably 3-80 cm.) and subjecting the mixed radiation to an electric field oscillating at a frequency corresponding to a metric wavelength (preferably 1-50 m.). The centimetric and metric wavelengths are selected to suit the tissue being treated and the supply circuits (which are described in detail) are pulsed at low frequencies related to the patient's pulse rate. The cavity contains a gas such as argon at 2 torr. and a discharge is maintained in this gas by cathode 17 and anode 22, or by twin cathodes 17, 40, Fig. 6 (not shown). The mixed radiation is introduced through tubes 8 from a D.C. accelerator followed by a cyclotron (for the particles) and a magnetron generator (for the centimetric radiation), Figs. 1, 5 (not shown); and impinges upon a magnetically rotated deflector 19a made up of inclined graphite plates. The oscillating electric field is produced by three symmetrically arranged electrodes 25. Magnetic coils 23 which may carry a modulated current, are disposed about cavity 8 and parts of the particle accelerating system. The generated radiation emerges from the end 9a.

IPC: G07F5/02
Filed: 1918-12-12
Abstract: 134,101. Glover, T. Dec. 12, 1918. Coin action, mechanical-connexion and multiplecoin.-In coin-carriers for coin-freed mechanism, of the kind comprising two slotted cups, one fixed to the shaft carrying the operating-handle, and the other loose and connected to the operating- mechanism, the cups are so constructed that two different-sized coins, such as a penny and a halfpenny, or a shilling and a sixpence, may be used, the mechanism being operated according to the value of the coin. The two cups A, B are made of different diameters, the larget A being fixed to the shaft I and having two slots C, D at 90 degrees apart, with the corner F of the slot D bent inwards to about the outer diameter of the cup B, which is provided with four equidistant slots E. When the larger coin, say a penny, is inserted, it engages in the slot C and one slot E, and both cups are conveyed round one-half revolution by turning the shaft I, the coin being then discharged. When a halfpenny is used, it fully enters the cup A, which turns one-quarter revolution without operating the cup B until the lip F contacts with the coin to connect the cups together, the cup B thus making only one-quarter of a revolution before the coin is discharged. Instead of bending the corner F, a pin or stop may be fixed to the edge of the slot D.

A device for treating wire while being continuously fed and supported in the form of a rotating helix with a horizontal axis along a horizontal supporting means has means for collecting the wire as it reaches the end of the horizontal supporting means, comprising a positioned collecting device having core means around which the wire is wound, below the level of the horizontal axis of said helix, means for supporting the collecting device from above so that it is free to rotate on a vertical axis, additional support positioned between the end of the horizontal supporting means and the axis of the collecting device for movably supporting at least one turn of the wire helix at a lower level than the horizontal supporting means, said additional support means including at least one arm carrying rotatable elements adapted to position a top portion of the said helical coil in a position intermediate the horizontal supporting means and the collecting device whereby the wire itself rotates the freelyrotatable collecting device. A helix 11 of wire, tube or strip, is supported during its rotation by parallel horizontal rolls 20, 21 and dips in a treating bath 22. As the coil leaves the bath 22 it passes under a vertically adjustable pulley 31 positioned between the rolls 20, 21 to press on the coil to increase its radius of curvature. The pulley 31 may be applied at any point along the helix. After passing the ends of the rolls 20, 21 the coils 11-2 of the enlarged helix are supported by extensions 23, 24 and guided, in an inclined position, by rollers 25, 26 and 27, 28 on these extensions. The coils then pass around uprights 52, 53, 54 of a collecting device 50, suspended for free rotation about a vertical axis by a hook 57, and collect on a platform 51 of the device 50, the rotational energy of the coils rotating the platform 51.
