Title: Surface acoustic wave transducer
IPC: H03B5/32
Filed: 1975-01-21
Abstract: 1486377 Displacement sensor UNITED AIRCRAFT CORP 21 Jan 1975 [25 Feb 1974] 2612/75 Heading G1G [Also in Division H3]  A physical quantity is measured by propagating a series of surface acoustic waves (SAW) across a measurement surface deformable in response to said quantity, and using a feedback arrangement to provide a signal the frequency of which is dependent on the wave propogation time and hence, by virtue of the deformation, dependent on the physical quantity.  Figs 7A and 7B show a differential pressure sensor comprising two flexible diaphragms 12 formed in or on a substrate 10 mounted in a conventional microelectronics package 34 which is hermetically sealed. Respective fluid pressures are applied to the lower faces of the diaphragms via ports 36, 38. Each diaphragm has an associated pair of interdigitated-electrode SAW transducer 14, 16 coupled with an amplifier 40 in a feedback loop for sustained propagation of surface waves across the diaphragm to form an oscillator. The difference frequency for the two oscillators thus formed is obtained from mixer 42 and represents the differential pressure applied while being substantially independent of temperature. The Fig. 8 pressure sensor for use in a high temperature environment includes a SAW oscillator made up of SAW transducers on a diaphragm 12. Mount 56 has a port 56 in the high temperature region for subjecting the diaphragm to the pressure, and has channels 58 for connections to feedback amplifier 60 which is in a lower temperature region beyond baffle 52. The SAW oscillator can be used in other embodiments for measuring further parameters which vary the acoustic propagation time across the diaphragm e.g. temperature, acceleration (using an inertial mass attached to the diaphragm), stress in a surface to which the oscillator is fixed, and mass flow (by directing the flow towards the diaphragm so as to stress it). Details are given of the fabrication of the diaphragm and the transducers thereon, including selection of the transducer electrode spacing to restrict the frequency band of the SAW oscillations. The diaphragm may be Piezo-electric, having electrodes fabricated directly on it: or may be non- Piezo-electric (metal, semi-conductor or dielectric material) having a thin film of Piezo-electric material between the diaphragm and the transducers.

Abstract: 584,893. Open-hearth furnaces. MORGAN, F. Feb. 2, 1945, No. 2686. [Class 51 (ii)] In an open-hearth or similar gas fired furnace, means, operated in unison with the furnace charging doors, are provided to supply a flow of air or inert gas into the furnace to cool the roof adjacent the back wall and to keep the burning gas down on to the bath of the furnace. Fan shaped apertures a, b, c, d are spaced along the top of a back wall e of the furnace and are supplied with air under pressure from pipes a<1>, b<1>, c', d<1> controlled by valves a<2>, b<2>, c<2>, d<2>. These valves are in turn controlled by the opening and shutting of charging doors h, j, k in the front wall m<3> so that when a charging door is opened the valve, or valves, opposite it is also opened. Instead of valves controlling a piped air supply, electrically controlled fans may be used. In a modification apertures are also provided in the side walls adjacent the back, and these are opened or closed at one end or the other according to the direction of flow of the burning gas. The valves a<2>, b<2>, c<2>, d<2> may also be thermostatically controlled.

Title: Improvements in or relating to lifts
IPC: B66B3/00
Filed: 1937-02-04
Abstract: 491,593. Operating well - doors of lifts. FORD, E. M. Feb. 4, 1937, No. 3315. [Class 78 (iii)] [Also in Group XXV] In automatic lifts controlled by passengers in the cage and at the floors, in which provision is made for preventing the lift being started unless all the landing doors are closed, a longitudinally-movable transmission member running from a control landing to a remote landing is connected to the well gate at the remote landing so that the latter can be closed from the control landing. The arrangement can be extended to cover the operation of all the well-doors from the control landing or the higher doors from any landing. Fig. 1 shows one construction in which each horizontallysliding door is connected by a cable to a hanging weight 9 which is lifted when the door is opened. Inspection of the row of weights 9 reveals which door is open, and by a downward pull on that particular cable, the door is closed. The cables also are provided with hand grips 9a at the various floors so that an intending passenger can close any door at a floor above which may be open. Figs. 2 and 3 show a modified construction in which any door can be closed by a passenger on any floor. The doors are connected by cables 15 to hollow cones 14, Fig. 3, sliding freely on the endless rope 12 and normally held in position by clips 17 fixed on the framing when the door is closed. Opening of the door pulls the member 14 downward and detaches it from its clip, the same movement being transmitted to the cable 12 through the medium of the conical stop 13 fixed thereon. The stops 13 at other floors leave the corresponding members 14, but the latter are not detached from their clips. Thus a downward pull on the hand grips 19 at :any floor causes the upward movement of the conical stops 13 to close any door left open.

Alternatively one of the operating handles may have a thin end to be inserted under the part 14. The end of one or both of the handles 1, 2 may be slotted longitudinally whereby by passing the part 14 edgewise into the slot it may readily be removed.
