Patent GB-1262479-A (GB)
Title: Methanol production
Inventor: CONNELL ANTHONY JOHN
IPC: C07C29/151
Filed: 1968-12-30
Abstract: 1,262,479. Methanol. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. 3 Dec., 1969 [30 Dec., 1968], No. 61663/68. Heading C2C. In a methanol synthesis process fed with a synthesis gas derived from steam reforming a gaseous hydrocarbon feedstock and containing more than the stoichiometric ratio of H to carbon oxides, the gas is incompletely reacted to methanol which is removed from the gas and unreacted gas is treated to remove CO and/or CO 2  which is/are recycled to the methanol synthesis. All the unreacted gas may be treated to remove carbon oxides or only a part thereof, in which case the remainder is recycled to the synthesis. Cuprammonium solutions may be used to remove both CO and CO 2  or alkali carbonate or amine solutions to remove CO only. A steam shift reaction may be applied to convert CO to CO 2  either in the unreacted or the fresh synthesis gas. Where the feed contains only a small excess of hydrogen, part of the residue gas after removal of carbon oxides may be recycled to the synthesis step.
Patent GB-1261898-A (GB)
Title: System for detecting and diagnosing computer error conditions
IPC: G06F11/22
Filed: 1968-12-31
Abstract: 1,261,898. Testing data processors. BURROUGHS CORP. 31 Dec., 1968 [2 Jan., 1968], No. 61863/68. Heading G4A. A system and method for determining error conditions in a unit of a digital data processing system uses a programmed test routine comprising a plurality of test cases grouped into a plurality of test strings, each string including more than one test case, the cases of the routine being serially executed, there being means for detecting the failure of all the cases within any string. Preferably, the strings having larger numbers of cases precede the strings having smaller numbers of cases. In a prior art system, Fig. 3A, the error detecting system was a branching system in which the success S or failure F of a test T causes further respective tests until an appropriate error condition F1 to F16 is diagnosed. This required a random access memory. In the present system, Fig. 3B, the respective tests which result in an appropriate error condition F are performed in series for all the error conditions, e.g. if the tests T1, T2, T4, T8 which make up a string are all failures, this indicates that the error condition F1 is present. The strings are preferably executed in the series shown, larger strings first since otherwise the results of the smaller strings would be invalid, thus allowing the use of a serial memory e.g. magnetic tape. Separate routines may be provided for each unit to be tested and it is stated that routines may be sufficiently complex to diagnose errors down to the last integrated circuit chip. Operation (Fig. 1, not shown).-A magnetic tape unit holds a test routine generally for one unit e.g. a processor or a peripheral unit though one tape may be used for two identical units. Each routine comprises blocks of test cases arranged in strings (a string may extend over several blocks), each case comprising a group of 16 bit command words. The routine is transmitted a block (with parity checks) at a time to a magnetic core or thin film memory and serially executed in between receipt of blocks at the memory by a circuit connected to the unit being tested. If the system is being used for diagnosing errors, execution continues until all the test cases in a string have failed whereas if it is merely used to detect errors a halt is called after one failure. Each test case contains command words which set up pre-determined initial conditions in the unit under test, send one or more clock pulses to the unit, determine the outputs of the unit, and compare these with pre-determined correct outputs for the unit. Execution of a first test case in a string sets a flip-flop in case of failure and this is only reset if any succeeding cases in the string are successful. To detect intermittent errors the final case in a string may include a command to repeat the whole string a number of times.

Abstract: 740,926. Perpetual calendars. GILSON, R. J. Aug. 18, 1954 [May 18, 1953], No. 13788/53. Class 106 (4). A perpetual calendar comprises two relatively movable members one bearing daynames and month names and the other day-date numbers and two or more scales of year numbers arranged automatically to provide for leap years. In Fig. 1, a number-dial 12 is rotatable behind a name-disc 13 to display the calendar for any month with whose name the required year is registered. The day-date table is built up of spiral rows of the numerals 1 to 31, the columns being angularly spaced by x degrees. The month names March to December are mutually spaced at multiples of x degrees from one another and are spaced from the names of January and February by a multiple of x degrees plus x/2 degrees and the year numbers occupy spaces of x/2 degrees, each being repeated and a space of x/2 degrees being left after each leap year. In a second embodiment the two series of year numbers are arranged on different circles. In Fig. 6, the calendar comprises three coaxial cylinders, one bearing the day-date numbers 49 and three year-number scales 51, 52, 53, another bearing names 55, 59 along windows for exposing the number scales and the third having windows 56 with parts 58 of contrasting colour to the month-names 59, the general colour of the cylinder being the same as that of the month-names. In another embodiment the number scales may be carried by a flexible band passing over rollers and behind a panel with windows and name scales. The calendar may be combined with a compass, clock, or powder compact. In the first two embodiments rear windows may be provided to facilitate adjustment or for an extended yearscale.

Title: Operating barrier gates
IPC: E05F15/04
Filed: 1979-04-17
Abstract: A barrier gate comprising barrier gates 1 and 2 and reciprocatable means for urging the barrier gate between open and closed positions in response to an external control signal. The barrier gates also comprise a biassing means for resisting movement of the barrier gates away from the closed position. The biassing means is so arranged that the applied bias is relaxed whenever the reciprocatable means urges the barrier gates towards the open position or whenever a turning moment, exceeding a predetermined turning moment, is applied directly to the barrier gates. This arrangement allows the barrier gates to open in a situation of panic. The gates are normally opened by a pneumatic cylinder and linkage mechanism in responce to the insertion of a valid ticket. <IMAGE>

Title: Supporting glass filaments in fabricating glass fibers
IPC: C03B37/06
Filed: 1979-07-26
Abstract: A member 2 for supporting glass filaments 1 in an apparatus for fabricating glass fibers (primary filaments being formed from molten glass and then further attenuated to fibres by hot gaseous blasts 5) comprises a pair of glass filament bearing surfaces 11, 15 of the same structure symmetrically formed at both sides of the member 2 and is so rotatably supported in the apparatus as to selectively bear the glass filaments on either bearing surface 11 or 15, and further includes at least three lateral angular edges (16, 17 & 18 and 19, 20 & 21) formed on each of the surfaces (11 and 15 respectively) for simultaneously making contact with each of the glass filaments 1. Since the filaments can be supported by a new but identical glass filament bearing surface merely by rotating the member through 180 DEG without stopping the overall apparatus, when the present glass filament bearing surface is worn, thereby to double the operating time of the member, this apparatus can eliminate the decrease of the productivity by the stoppage of the apparatus and wasteful loss of the glass stock to thus improve the production of the glass fiber as much. <IMAGE>
