Title: A gearbox unit for use with fish passes
Inventor: DON BRUCE
IPC: E02B8/08
Filed: 2009-05-05
Abstract: A gearbox of a fish or eel pass that can be attached to movable water penning devices and weirs. Changes in the weir's angle are transmitted from the downstream pass component (Figure D) via the gearbox to allow the upstream pass component G3 to deflect automatically. This deflection is intended to maintain a consistent downwards angle in the upstream water body to allow fish and eels to crawl or swim beyond the influence of the weir crest flow regardless of the weir's angle. The whole unit may be adjustable for height to suit water flow conditions by turning screws G7, G8 which move threaded blocks G9, G10 which are contained within housing G2 (Figure A).

Title: Measuring deviation of a clock frequency
Inventor: LI BO
IPC: G01R23/02
Filed: 2009-12-10
Abstract: The frequency deviation of a clock from its nominal value is estimated by counting the clock to be detected to acquire current counting information and filtering the current counting information to acquire filtered data. The frequency deviation of the clock to be detected is then estimated from the filtered data. The counting is based on a standard clock having a known standard frequency. Two different processes for filtering are described, based on first order filtering governed by the equation Pn= a.Pn-1+ N, where n is the number of accumulations, N is the nth counting information, Pnis the data acquired after the nth filtering and a is a detection parameter between 0 and 1. The clock may be part of a communications system.

Title: Improvements in apparatus for chopping electrical impulses
IPC: H03K3/55
Filed: 1937-04-08
Abstract: 491,741. Cathode-ray oscillographs. SCOLES, G. J., and METROPOLITANVICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. April 8, 1937, No. 10062. [Class 37] [Also in Group XL] Chopped electrical impulse waves of the shape shown in Fig. 2 are produced from the form shown in Fig. 1 by connecting across the output leads 9, e a " Thyratron " (Registered Trade Mark) 10 having a condenser 11 between its cathode and grid and a resistance 12 and battery 13 between its grid and anode. The wave generator comprises Thyratrons, condenser 4, an A.C. source 1, a resistance 3 and a rectifier 2. The cathode of " Thyratron " 5 is connected to the junction of 3 and 4, the grid (not shown) is connected to a peaking transformer and the anode is connected to the resistance-condenser network 6, 7, 8. This combination produces negative impulses at 9 which produce a rise of voltage across " Thyratron " 10 and cause condenser 11, which is initially changed to the voltage of battery 13, to discharge through resistance 12 and battery 13. The grid thereby attains a voltage which allows the " Thyratron " to ignite and the voltage across it drops approximately to zero producing the chopped wave at 14. Rectifier 15, if provided, enables an oscillator chopped wave to be produced. The impulse wave can be reduced exactly to zero by suitably biassing the anode of " Thyraton " 10 whilst the point of chopping can be adjusted by varying 11, 12 or 13. To chop impulse waves of positive polarity the waves are applied to the anode of " Thyratron " 10. Specifications 482,956 and 482,994 are referred to.

Abstract: 424,310. Directive wireless signalling. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., Electra House, Victoria Embankment, London.-(Assignees of Plebanski, J. ; 32, Wapolna, Warsaw) April 4, 1934, Nos. 10269 and 10270. Convention dates, Nov. 4, 1933 and Nov. 17, 1933. [Class 40 (v)] The characteristic response of an inherently directive aerial system is enhanced by the use of "directional reaction," which can also be utilized to rotate the direction of maximum sensitivity. A bank of antennae A1 ... An, Figs. 1 and 2, is backed by reflectors R1 .. Rn, and is associated with a " forward " group of auxiliary radiators RA1 ... RAn and reflectors RR1 ... RRn. Signals picked up on the main aerials A1 &c., are fed back through feed lines f 1 .. fn and amplifiers Am1 .. Amn to the forward aerials RA &c. by which they are radiated on to the main aerial system again. Finally they are tapped off to the receiver RC. The manner in which this sharpens the directive effect is illustrated in Fig. 3, where signals from an undesired point II, owing to phase-displacement, rotate the characteristic of the auxiliary aerial system from B to C, thereby diverting the feed back radiation away from the main aerial A. Phase regulation of the signal currents may be deliberately introduced to swing the main beam say from B to C, Fig. 4. The row of vertical aerials may be replaced by frame or loop aerials, and the feed-back may be obtained by coupling-coils, Fig. 9, (not shown). The amplifier Am may be of the superhet type, the local oscillator being used to change the frequency of the feed-back currents and to adjust their phase.

Abstract: 786,255. Making heat exchangers jointing; bending. HOUDAILLE INDUSTRIES, Inc. April 5, 1956 [April 8, 1955], No. 10482/56. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). A method of securing a wire to a heatexchanger tube comprises forming a bend in the wire for contacting a portion of the perimeter of the tube, inserting the tube into the bend and bending the wire to lock the wire and the tube together. A tube and wire heat exchanger is made by forming bends 11 in a straight or sinuous wire, the bends having straight upstanding portions 11b which rise above the tubing 12 when the tubing is bottomed in the bend. The ends of the wire may be offset as at 11f for stabilizing the ends during the jointing operation wherein the bends are supported in a lower die 14 and an upper die 16 provided with protuberances 17 forms folds in the wire on each side of the tubing and presses said folds into conforming contact with the tubing. A punch bar 18 carried with the upper die 16 deforms the tubing to wrap it partially about the wires as shown at 19 in Fig. 5. The transverse ridges 20 thus formed inside the tubing causes turbulence in the flow of heat exchange fluid through the tubing. The dies may also be proportioned to flatten the wires at 11e between successive lengths of tubing to increase the radiating area. The assembly is finally hot galvanized or black enamelled and, if desired, welded in places to increase its rigidity. The heat exchanger may comprise a pair of spaced parallel tubes contained within a helically wound coil of wire, the wire and tubes being joined as hitherto described.
