Abstract: 1,007,610. Printing apparatus. W. RITZERFELD, and G. RITZERFELD. Oct. 30, 1962 [Nov. 9, 1961], No. 40922/62. Heading B6C. In a rotary offset printing machine in which a cylinder 1 mounts both the master sheet 21 and, temporarily, a copy sheet 27, selected portions of the image on the sheet 21 may be printed on the sheet 27 by offset rollers 8 and 9 which are sequentially moved towards and away from the cylinder to effect the transfer to each copy of that particular part of the image they have received from the sheet 21. The offset roller 8, which may be used to print a heading on each sheet 27, which is fed into grippers 58 on the cylinder by a suction device 22 operating on a stack 18 of copy sheets, is actuated by cams and levers associated with the cylinder 1 whilst the offset roller 9, which may be used to print selected portions of the image on each sheet 27 below the already printed heading, is actuated by cams, levers and an electromagnet associated with a camshaft 24. This latter offset roller has an arrangement by which it is rotated step-by-step such that each succeeding sheet 27 receives a different portion of the image. When setting up the machine initially the control means are so actuated that the master sheet 21, carried by grippers 44, is moved from the mounting platform 20 over the stack 18, past the " heldoff " rollers 8 and 9 to the moistening devices 13 and 14 and the inking apparatus 15 . . . 17. During subsequent revolutions of the cylinder 1 the rollers 8 and 9 are automatically tripped " in " and " out " as required for the printing of any particular set of copy sheets. The blanket coverings of the offset rollers are washed simultaneously when required through the actuation of a washing device 26. Through appropriate actuation of the machine controls either roller 8 or 9 may be used to transfer both the heading and the text from the master to the copy sheet.

Filed: 1974-09-19
Abstract: 1481541 Boring earth &c CONTINENTAL OIL CO 19 Sept 1974 [26 Nov 1973] 40972/74 Heading E1F Apparatus for controlling the direction of a down-the-hole drill, particularly for horizontal drilling, includes deflection means for applying a force against the wall of the borehole to deflect the axis of the drill and roll control means for rotating the deflection means to a desired orientation.  In a first embodiment (Fig. 1) the drilling apparatus includes a hydraulic drive mechanism 10 for advancing the drill along the borehole, a roll control unit and instrument package 17, an electric drill motor 18, a deflection unit 20 and a drill bit 11. The drive mechanism 10 includes a unit 14 having pressure feet 15 which can be urged outwardly into contact with the wall of the borehole, and a cylinder 12 having pressure feet 13 and which is movable on a piston rod 16 extending between units 14 and 17. The drill is advanced by alternately extending pressure feet 13 and 15 and supplying pressure fluid to the opposite ends of cylinder 12. The roll control unit 17 includes a hydraulic torque motor and ratchet mechanism (not shown) which rotates the casing of unit 17 and motor 18 through a small angle (e.g. 4) each time hydraulic pressure is applied to the torque motor. The deflection unit 20 (Fig. 10) is connected to the casing 89 of drill motor 18  and can thus be rotated to the desired orientation by the roll control unit. The deflection unit 20 includes a pair of cylinders 152, 154 connected together, cylinder 152 being mounted on a fixed piston 151 and cylinder 154 housing a spring 150. By controlling the pressure of fluid supplied to cylinder 152, the cylinders 152, 154 can be moved normal to the drill axis to exert a pressure on the borehole wall and thus deflect the axis of drill bit 11. A launch tube (not shown) may be used to guide the drilling apparatus when starting a horizontal borehole. In a modification (Fig. 14) the deflection unit 20 is mounted with the roll control unit and is connected to the drill motor 18 by a flexible joint 137. The drill motor 18 is provided with stabilisers 138 so that operation of the deflection unit 20 causes the drill motor 18 to pivot about one of the stabilisers 138 and thus alter the drill direction as shown in Fig. 14.  In a second embodiment the deflection unit 20 is positioned between the drill motor and drill bit, the drill motor being advanced by a set of drill rods 165 (Fig. 16). The drill rods 165 are advanced by piston 186 and cylinder 170 and can be rotated by motor 172 via gearing 176, 177 to control the orientation of the deflection unit 20. The motor 172 can also be used in conjunction with a gripping device 183 to make or break the joints 187 between successive sections of drill rod 165.

Title: Steam power plant having a forced through-flow boiler
IPC: F01K3/22
Filed: 1962-10-31
Abstract: 988,915. Steam raising in boilers. HITACHI SEISAKUSHO KABUSHIKI KAISHA. Oct. 31, 1962 [Nov. 8, 1961], No. 41229/62. Heading F4A. During start-up of a once-through forced flow steam boiler and associated turbine 4 the working medium bypasses both the superheater 2 and turbine 4 and flows by means of lines 8, 9, valve 10, flash tank 7, line 14 and valve 15 to the turbine condenser 5. At a later stage in the start up procedure the working medium flows through the superheater 2 into the main steam line 3 but by-passes the turbine 4 by means of lines 11, 12, valve 13 and, as in the previous ease, flash tank 7, line 14 and valve 15, these being common to both by-pass routes. Lines 8, 9, 11, 12, valves 10, 13 and flash tank 7 are disposed above the main steam line 3 and the invention consists in the provision of pressure balancing lines a, b containing valves as shown which allow any water which may accumulate in the closed end sections of the by-pass lines not in use, e.g. in pipes 11, 12 when pipes 8, 9 are in use, to be drained away. By this means shock and consequent damage to the piping system which might otherwise be caused by the sudden shifting of the trapped mass of water when, for example, valve 13 is opened, is avoided. A similar drain line c with trap 16 is provided for the pipe line 14 leading from the flash tank to the condenser.

Title: Earth station for use in a time division satellite communication system
IPC: H04B7/212
Filed: 1971-09-07
Abstract: 1349658 Satellite repeaters SOC ITALIANA TELECOMUNICAZIONI SIEMENS SpA 7 Sept 1971 [17 Dec 1970] 41630/71 Heading H4L One earth station in a t.d.m.a. satellite system sends a reference subframe r, Fig. 1 for synchronizing purposes, and if it should go out of action, the next earth station to transmit data, automatically acts as a new reference station. The reference subframe includes signals for modem sync S m , carrier recovery Rp, frame sync St, and a reference station address Ir. The data subframes 1 to n for respective earth stations each contain signals for modem sync Sm, carrier recovery Rp, subframe sync Sst and data d. Any particular earth station includes a control unit (Fig. 2, not shown) in which the address of the current reference station is identified (Re) and a corresponding number entered in a register (Rg) from which it is compared (at Co) with the output i of a counter, which counts successive data subframes until it recognizes the one corresponding to the reference address, whereupon signal Ic is produced. A programme network (Rpr), see Fig. 3, responds to Ic in that a bi-stable F 1  is set. The subframe sync pulse Ist of the next data subframe resets F 1 , and the system continues to operate in an unchanged fashion, unless a signal Si occurs, indicating that the said particular earth station is itself transmitting this data subframe. In this case the set output of F 1  is passed through a gate A 1  to set a second bi-stable F 2 , whose output C indicates that the said particular earth station is now reserved act as the new reference station. This signal C passes through an AND gate R 2  only if a signal If, indicating that the current reference station has ceased to operate, is produced by means not shown in response to loss of three successive reference sync pulses. An OR gate O 1  then sets a bi-stable F 3  whose Q output initiates operation of the particular station as the new reference. Each earth station then enters the address of the new reference station in its register (Rg). If the bi-stable F 2  has not been set to indicate that its earth station is to be the new reference, then gate A 3  is enabled by the If signal to ensure that F 3  gives a reset output Q to ensure continued working as a data station. If the pulse If is not received, F 3  is not affected, and F 2  is reset by the next sync pulse It. It or Ist will also set a bi-stable F 4  which triggers a monostable M 2 , the output of which acts through OR gate O 2  to reset F 3  to Q to return the particular station to normal data handling, conversely absence of It or Ist confirms operation as a reference station, because this means that the particular station is the first connected to the system. A manual reset at A 2  causes a monostable M 1  to generate a pulse, resetting F 4  and, through O 1 , F 3 ; the station then changes back from reference to normal data handling operation.
