Abstract: 1,202,785. Pyrophoric lighter. ALFRED DUNHILL Ltd. 8 Aug., 1969 [8 May, 1968], No. 21794/68. Heading F4F. A gas fuelled lighter includes a burner valve 2 mounted in the lighter casing for axial movement relative thereto so that a movement in one axial direction produces a progressive increase in fuel flow, and movement in the opposite axial direction produces a progressive decrease in fuel flow, the movement being controlled by a manually operable button 6 mounted on the external wall of the casing. The button 6 is connected to a rod 5 which bears transversely against the upper end of a rod 1 against the action of a spring 7. The rod 1 is pivoted near its lower end about a horizontal axis and at its lower end has a cam surface 3, apex 3a of which bears upon a shoulder 4 on the burner valve 2. Depression of the button 6 causes the rod 1 to pivot clockwise rotating the cam 3, and shoulder 4 is allowed to rise under the action of a spring (not shown) to increase the gas flow. In the undepressed position of button 6, the gas flow is sufficient to produce a small flame, the gas flow being cut off completely by a hinged cover or snuffer arm which when closed will depress the burner valve 2 bodily so that the shoulder 4 is out of contact with the apex 3a.

Abstract: 500,362. Electron - beam valves. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., and BRETT, G. F. Aug. 7, 1937, No. 21801. [Class 39 (i)] Apertures in a controlling electrode G and an accelerating anode A are aligned with a cathode C, and an additional outer anode AA has a surface out of the direct line through the apertures. A magnetic field is applied at right angles to the line through the apertures so that electrons passing through the apertures proceed in a bent path CP. The rectilinear, cathode is concentrically within the controlling electrode, which is concentrically within, and close to, the accelerating anode, which is concentrically within, and comparatively well spaced from, the additional anode. The slots in the controlling electrode and in the accelerating anode are of the same length as the cathode. The operating parameters are so chosen and the valve so dimensioned that the path of the electrons just fail to touch the external anode when the two anodes are at equal potentials. Oscillations produced by the valve are modulated by varying the potential of the controlling electrode. The anodes may be carbonized or have cooling fins.

Filed: 1925-09-01
Abstract: 248,319. Gronstedt, K. F. O. Feb. 28, 1925, [Convention date]. Immunizing and like serums; medicines for internal use.-Remedies for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis in men and animals, are obtained from the bone marrow of goats, dogs or other animals which have been rendered immune to tuberculosis. A goat is repeatedly injected with dead tubercle bacilli over a long period and is then injected once or several times with living bacilli. The animal is then bled to death and the bone marrow is removed from the long bones, ground with powdered quartz, and extracted with a weak water solution of soda. The solution is filtered through paper or cloth to remove solid matter, and is then sterilized by filtration through a Berkefeld filter. The remedy so prepared may be administered through the mouth or the anus, or by injection, or may be dried at moderate temperature and prepared in the form of powders or tablets. Metal salts may be used in place of tubercle bacilli for the preliminary immunization of the goat. The remedies may be standardized by noting the relative enlargement of the suprarenal glands of rabbits when injected therewith. The Specification, as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) refers also to the use of tubercle toxin for the immunization of the animal, to the use of acid solution in place of soda. for treating the bone marrow, and to treatment by moderate heating to effect the final sterilization. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in automatic stereophonic radio receiver
IPC: H03D1/22
Filed: 1965-05-24
Abstract: 1,079,163. Stereophonic radio receivers. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. May 24, 1965 [June 30, 1964], No. 21972/65. Heading H4L. In a receiver for stereophonic or monophonic radio signals, of the type comprising a diode switching circuit for demodulating the composite stereophonic signal into its " left " and " right " components, the diodes of the switching circuit are provided with a small amount of forward bias to improve the reception of monophonic signals. As shown, the composite stereophonic signal is supplied from the FM receiver 12 via filter 14 and amplifier 18 to the centre tap of an inductor 26. A capacitor 33 connected to the adjustable tap of potentiometer 29 is adjusted to increase the amplitude of the L - R sidebands with respect to the L + R portion of the composite signal. The composite signal includes a pilot signal which is selected at 21, frequency - doubled at 22, and supplied via inductor 24, which is coupled to inductor 26 and tuned by capacitor 23, as a switching signal to the diode switching circuit 46, 47, 61, 62. The diode switching circuit supplies the L and R signals via de-emphasis circuits to terminals 52 and 67 respectively in known manner. In order to improve the reception of monophonic signals, a small amount of forward bias is supplied to diode 46 via resistor 76, diode 47 via resistor 77, diode 61 via resistor 78 and diode 62 via resistor 79, so that the combined parallel impedance of the diodes is made substantially constant with respect to signal voltage. The generator 22 for the switching signal produces no output when the pilot signal is not present so that automatic changeover from stereophonic to monophonic reception takes place.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the lifting of hollow clay blocks
IPC: B66C1/24
Filed: 1960-06-23
Abstract: 946,930. Lifting cradles for lift trucks. J. F. EDEN. June 23, 1961 [June 23, 1960; Jan. 17, 1961], Nos. 22032/60 and 1939/61. Heading B8H. A lifting cradle for hollow bricks comprises tines 7, Fig. 1, which pass through rows of the bricks, supported by a back-frame 1 and a wiremesh back plate 12, Fig. 2, which is in tension. The tines 7 comprise square section tubes and have wooden plugs 8 therein. A chain 16 ensures that the tines remain horizontal when the unloaded cradle is lifted. This chain is disconnected from a hook 17 when a load is lifted so that the tines incline towards the back plate 12. Holes 15 allow the slope of the tines to be adjusted. A spring may replace the chain 16 and the tines may be pivoted to the supporting frame. The tines may be replaceable either individually or as a set to permit blocks of various sizes to be lifted. Side frames 19, Fig. 2, which swing about vertical pivots 21 on the back frame to facilitate loading, may be provided. These are held in load engaging position by a bar 27 of a roller blind 24 drawn off a roller 25. In the embodiment of Fig. 3, a safety cage 32 is pivoted at 35 to the fork frame and covers the front and sides of the load. To raise the cage an eye 44 is moved from a hook 45 to a hook 46 whilst the fork is resting on the ground with the chain 14 slack. When the chain 14 becomes taut as the fork is lifted the rope 39 raises the cage. A stop 47 limits movement of the rope 39. A further stop may be provided, so arranged that when the eye 44 is engaged by the hook 46, and the fork is unloaded, the tines are supported in a horizontal position. The cage may be operated manually by a rope and pulley arrangement; mechanically, or spring biased in the open condition in such a way that the cage descends when a load is lifted. The cradle may be permanently or detachably fitted to a fork-lift truck.

Title: Fuel supply systems for diesel engines
IPC: F02D41/38
Filed: 1974-05-17
Abstract: 1507455 Controlling fuel supply to diesel engines CAV Ltd 12 May 1975 [17 May 1974]  22104/74 Heading F1B A fuel supply system for a diesel engine 12 includes a fuel supply pump 11 and an electrically operated actuator 14 controlling pump output. The actuator is operated by an electronic governor 18 (via amplifier 22) in accordance with engine speed measured by a device 15, fuel pump control rod position measured at 16 and engine demand measured at 17. A transistor 37, Fig.2, energizes  a relay 34, 35 controlling power supply to the actuator 14 and is switched off if the current flowing through the actuator 14 exceeds a predetermined value e.g. by means of a transistor 47 rendering a transistor 39 conductive thus withdrawing base current from the transistor 37 when the breakdown voltage of a Zener diode 51 is exceeded. At starting a control network 63 is driven from a first to a second state when engine speed exceeds cranking speed, as sensed by the device 15. In the first state the transistor 37 is turned off to de-energize the relay 34, 35 and prevent operation of the actuator 14 by means of a signal from network 63 turning on the transistor 39. At the same time network 63 supplies a signal via network 64 which is connected to the base of a power transistor 43 also to prevent current flowing through the actuator in the first state. Providing that the transistor 37 is not short-circuited a charge builds up in a capacitor 62 during the first state. Upon reaching the second state at cranking speed, the signal to transistor 39 from network 63 is terminated and a capacitor 67 discharges turning off transistor 39 and rendering transistor 37 conductive. A switch 65 is rendered conductive by network 63 at the commencement of the second state, so that capacitor 62 discharges through switch 65 to switch the network 64, thus rendering the power transistor 43 conductive and the actuator 14 operative. If the capacitor 62 does not charge due to a faulty short-circuited transistor 37, then the actuator 14 remains inoperative.

Patent GB-1079294-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for the deposition of materials on hot bodies
IPC: C23C16/44
Filed: 1964-05-28
Abstract: A material, particularly semi-conductor material such as silicon, gallium arsenide or other III-V compound, is deposited from the vapour phase on to a hot body within an enclosed vessel, the temperature of the walls of which is maintained within desired limits by the turbulent flow of a heat-transfer fluid in contact with the exterior of the walls.  In the drawing, vessel 36 is a typical deposition apparatus such as is described for example in Specification 908,158, and is enclosed by tubular jacket 54, base-plate 10, and annular member 46, part of which forms an inverted frusto-conical surface 50 having holes 52 whereby the heat transfer fluid may reach outlet means 48.  Tubular baffle 68, surmounted by annular deflection member 72, is suspended from the top of 54 by supports, one of which is illustrated by tab member 60, hanger 62, flange 66 and hook 64, the latter engaging with opening 70 in baffle 68.  Conical baffle 74 situated between 72 and the top of 54 rests on flanges 66.  Heat transfer fluid enters mainly through inlet 58 at a rate regulated by metering devices therein and in outlet 48, and is directed by baffle 74 into the space between jacket 54 and baffle 68 and thence by frusto-conical surface 50 into the space between baffle 68 and vessel 36.  The fluid is subsequently redirected by baffle 74 into the space between 54 and 68 and eventually leaves via holes 50 and outlet 48. Turbulent motion is imparted by supplying heat transfer fluid under pressure by means of conduit 86 to annular heater 90, thence via nozzles 92 into the space between 54 and 68. The temperature of the circulating fluid is controlled by a plurality of heating rods 76 provided with a means for supplying a controlled and variable voltage.  In the deposition of silicon for example, the walls of vessel 36 are maintained within the range 400-800 DEG  C., preferably about 700 DEG  C., thereby avoiding deposition of silicon on the vessel walls, by correlating the temperature differential between fluid entering and leaving the enclosed space outside the walls of the reaction vessel, the rate at which fluid enters and leaves the space, the heat output from the heating means and the rate at which heat is transferred to the walls of the vessel from the substrate hot body.  Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 861,135 and 809,250.
