Abstract: 1466333 Laminates WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 8 March 1974 [8 March 1973] 10411/74 Heading B5N Two bodies are joined together by means of an adhesive layer by contacting the adhesive layer or a region of a surface of at least one of the bodies with a stable aqueous colloidal dispersion of an insoluble hydrous oxide formed by a hydrolysis reaction of a salt of an element selected from Be, Mg, Ti, Zr, V, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Hg, Al, In, Tl, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Bi, La, Ce, Th, U and mixtures thereof, the dispersion containing particles having a size from 10 to 10,000  and the formation of the dispersion comprising forming a dissolved salt of the element in an aqueous solvent and hydrolysing the salt, the pH value of the aqueous solvent preventing the initial formation of a precipitate or flocculate upon the addition of the salt, and bringing together the bodies with the adhesive layer therebetween so as to join them together. The insoluble hydrous oxide is an insoluble oxide, hydroxide, oxide-hydroxide or mixture of oxides and hydroxides. The colloidal dispersion may be applied to the body or adhesive by brushing, spraying or dipping. After the bodies have been brought into contact the adhesive bond may be strengthened, e.g. by cooling a hot melt adhesive, evaporating an organic cement, applying pressure to a pressure-sensitive adhesive or polymerizing in situ a thermosetting adhesive by heating or exposure to ultraviolet light. In the production of printed circuit boards the adherends may be a non-conductive organic polymer board and a conductive metal film. In the examples polyimide or polyethylene terephthalate films are bonded to aluminium plates using an epoxy adhesive, and polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate or hexafluoropropylene / tetrafluoroethylene copolymer films are bonded to synthetic rubber adhesive on a polyester backing. The films may be pretreated with aqueous NaOH.

Abstract: 491,260. Cooling dynamo - electric machines. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., ROBERTS, L., and BALL, R. D. April 13, 1937, No. 10493. [Class 35] A machine is cooled by an external fan mounted within a cowl at one end of the machine and driven by a direct-coupled auxiliary motor mounted on the cowl or on an end plate between the bearing bracket and the cowl. In the case of enclosed motors, the auxiliary motor may also drive an internal fan. In the form shown in Fig. 4 the fan motor 1 is carried by a plate 11 between the bearing bracket and the cowl 2 enclosing the external fan 14 and also drives a fan 12 circulating internal air through the stator ducts 13. External air is passed over fins 10 on the stator or through ducts therein. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the motor 1 is mounted on the cowl 15 and drives the internal fan through gearing 19. In a modification, both fans are on a shaft direct-coupled to the fan motor shaft. Where a single fan is used, the fan motor is preferably mounted on the outside of the cowl. An external fan may be provided at each end of the machine . The cowl may also enclose tubes carrying cooling fluid. Interlocks may be provided to ensure that the fan motor is energized when the main circuit is closed and an indicator may be provided to give warning of failure of the fan motor.

Title: Means for controlling a piping system
IPC: F16L3/16
Filed: 1959-03-26
Abstract: 906,496. Automatic control systems. GRINNELL CORPORATION. March 26, 1959 [March 31, 1958], No. 10522/59. Class 38 (4). The orientation of a length of piping is maintained constant despite the effects of thermal expansion by automatically controlling an external force applied to the piping in dependence on change of orientation. In Fig. 1, a main steam pipe 10, leading from the superheater header 16 of a boiler 14, is branched and connected to a steam turbine 24 at points 26. To minimize the forces exerted at these connection points due to thermal expansion, any movement of a section 58 of one of the branches from a vertical position, corresponding to a zero force position when cold, causes operation of a two-way switch 56 to run a reversible electric motor 42 in the appropriate direction to restore the piping to a vertical position by adjustment of the force applied at point A. Cables attached at points 59, 60 move by different amounts when branch 58 leaves the vertical so that input shafts 74, 76, Fig. 6, of a differential gear are moved by or against the action of weights 98, 100 and contact 66 of the two-way switch 56 is operated relative to fixed contacts 62, 64. Suitable anchoring of pipe 10 by a pivoted hanger at 230 minimizes the effect of expansion vertically but a modification is described in which separate automatic control systems are employed to maintain constant the orientation of the pipe in each of three mutually perpendicular planes. Rigid links, pivoted levers, and segment gears may serve instead of cables to operate the twoway switch. Arrangements in which the pipe is so fitted that, without the automatic control system, it would be in the desired zero-force position at the working temperature or an intermediate temperature are described. Modifications in which, instead of comparing the movements at two points on the pipe, the movement of one point relative to a fixed point which may be on the turbine casing or on the end of a damped pendulum, are also described.
