Patent GB-569334-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the extraction of fibrous plant material
IPC: D01C1/02
Filed: 1938-09-19
Abstract: Textile fibres are extracted from fibrous plant material, particularly flax straw, by a method which includes treating first with an aqueous solution, e.g. an acid to remove mineral matter, then with water or dilute aqueous solutions at elevated temperature, e.g. 60-125 DEG  C. including at least one treatment in which the solution is acid throughout the treatment or in which the solution becomes acid during the treatment, and then subjecting them to mechanical treatment for the removal of epidermal and other non-fibrous tissues. In some cases, e.g. when treating green or freshly-pulled flax, the preliminary treatment with acid may be replaced by leaching the material in water. Dilute hydrochloric acid solution at ordinary or slightly raised temperature may be used for the preliminary treatment.  For the second treatment the material may be immersed in water heated to 60-125 DEG  C.  The water becomes acid during the treatment.  If desired, the water may be rendered slightly alkaline initially by addition of alkaline substances such as disodium phosphate.  When two baths are used for the second treatment, one of them may be alkaline throughout the treatment of the material in it. Carbonates or bicarbonates of sodium and potassium, or sodium phosphates may be used as alkaline substances.  The second treatment of the materials may consist in steaming them in the absence of air. For the mechanical treatment, a machine having a squeezing, stroking, or brushing action may be employed.  The apparatus described in Specification 569,335, [Group IX], may be used.  In an example, dried, unretted, deseeded, flax straw is immersed in cold dilute hydrochloric acid, washed, and then heated in a pressure vessel with water.  The material is then subjected to the action of a stroking or brushing apparatus.  The material is then submitted to a scutching operation.  Specification 569,333 also is referred to.

Abstract: 1,036,976. Two-part couplings. AMP Inc. June 28, 1965 [July 13, 1964], No. 27233/65. Heading H2E. The Figure shows a section through a simple terminal block containing one or more hollow I-section connectors with access slots in their flat ends. These may be formed side by side in one piece from folded sheet metal and separated as required by cutting between adjacent connectors and inserting insulating spacers. Electrical connectors are made by pushing flat tabs 44 crimped to external conductors into the access slots 32 so that they force apart resiliently the central parts of the I-section bodies. The extent of this separation being limited by protuberances on the insulating housing wall. Convexities 46 on the tabs engage in holes 34 in the connectors and latch the tabs in position. Several simple blocks of this kind may be mounted side by side to build up an array (Fig. 1, not shown).

Title: Electronic firing device for projectiles
IPC: F42B4/00
Filed: 1975-06-27
Abstract: 1503718 Electric projectile fuzes MEFINA SA 27 June 1975 [5 July 1974 2 June 1975] 27239/75 Heading F3A An electric projectile fuze which can be set for immediate or delayed firing on impact with a target and which incorporates self-destruction means, comprises a capacitor C 10  which is charged in a step-like manner by the pulses from an oscillator 2, a fuze 1 which is fired by the charge from the capacitor C 10 , a tripping device 8 or a switch (not shown) arranged to be closed on impact, a frequency divider 16, and a transistor V 1  which may become conducting as soon as a signal is applied to its control electrode and a voltage applied between its anode and cathode reaches a first value or, in the absence of a signal on its control electrode, as soon as the voltage reaches a second value. The steplike charging of the capacitor C 10  is effected by a system of capacitors C 3 -C 9 , C 11 -C 17 , and diodes a ... n. The frequency of the pulses from the oscillator, and thereby the time delay for the capacitor C 10  to reach the first or second firing voltage of the transistor V 1 , is controllable by means of a variable resistor 5 and a variable capacitor C 1 . The immediate or delayed firing of the fuze on impact is controllable by means of an adjustable contactor 13. When the projectile strikes its target, a ferromagnetic core is displaced by a percussion sensitive member of the projectile, whereby the pulses supplied to a winding 9 are induced in a winding 10 and are amplified by a buffer 12. For immediate firing, the output of the buffer 12 is connected by the contactor 13 to the control electrode of the transistor V 1  via a buffer 14 and a Zener diode 15; but for delayed firing, the output from the buffer 12 is applied to the divider 16 and a selected output of the divider gives the desired delay. If the projectile misses its target, the projectile is destroyed when the continuing build up of charge on the capacitor C 10  reaches the second firing voltage of the transistor V 1  and causes the fuze 1 to fire without the application of a control signal to the transistor V 1 .
