Abstract: 997, 471. Measuring continuous lengths. SPRINGS COTTON MILLS. Jan. 10, 1964, No. 1246/64. Heading G1H. In an apparatus for measuring and locating variations in a length of material during processing or handling means for marking the material into determinable increments prior to said processing or handling, means for measuring the marked increments of material after processing or handling and the length of the corresponding marked increment prior to processing or handling being proportional to changes in length as a result of the processing or handling. Material or roving 14 is drawn through rollers 12 past marking means 30 to a flyer mechanism 16 and wound on to a bobbin 18. During rotation of the flyer 16 the roving 14 is twisted causing a contraction in its length, the difference in rotational speeds of the rollers 12 and the bobbin 18 producing relative stretching of the roving. The roving 14 is marked at required incremental distances by marker means 30, comprising a fixed roller loaded with ink and a movable roller between which the roving is drawn, the movable roller being moved to the operable position through solenoid means energized automatically when rollers 12 have moved through a predetermined number of revolutions. After stretching, the roving 14 is unwound from the bobbin 18 on to counting means 34 comprising a hand-driven drum 98 whose shaft 100 is connected to a mechanical counter 104, so that the distance between the marks on the roving after processing for handling may be determined. In a modification apparatus is described for marking increments in relation to layers on a package.

Title: Improvements in and relating to switching rings
IPC: H03K19/173
Filed: 1961-01-12
Abstract: 899,519. Transistor switching circuits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Jan. 12, 1961 [Jan. 12, 1960], No. 1300/61. Class 40(6). [Also in Group XIX ] A ring counter arranged to issue bipolar signals sequentially from its various stages, comprises a first stage of positive logic elements responsive to coincidence of at least two positive signals to provide P-type bipolar signals; a second stage of negative logic elements responsive to coincidence of at least two negative signals to provide N-type bipolar signals; and means for coupling the stages so that they operate sequentially. The N and P signals have positive and negative variations about 0 and -6 volts, respectively, and are such as to cause conduction of PNP and NPN transistors respectively, when applied to the base, provided the other elements of the circuit are appropriate. A convertion is used in the drawings whereby the output signals from the lower and upper right hand side of a box are in phase and out of phase, respectively, with the input signal applied to the left hand side. The + and - signs indicate that the circuits concerned respond to +ve and -ve signals respectively. Operation. Assuming that all stages are off, stage 1 turns on when reset line 14 comes up, a +N signal from the OR gate 3 coinciding with a +N signal on line 18 to operate AND gate 3. This gate applies an in-phase +P signal to the OR gate 2 to maintain the condition and a -P signal on the out-of-phase line 21. Converter 1 converts the P-level signal to an N-level signal. When the signal on lead 18 changes to -N, AND gate 3 closes and stage 1 turns off. Stage 2 now turns on due to coincidence of negative signals at AND gate 30 which produces a +N signal on out-ofphase line 28 and a -N signal on in-phase line 27. Converter 10 converts the N signal to a P signal. Subsequent stages operate in the same manner as stages 1 or 2. The outputs from the converters at the top of Fig. 1 are +N and -P from alternate stages. The output state is circulated from stage to stage by the SYNC pulses until the circuit is reset. By adding a row of converters to the bottom and top of the circuit, Fig. 2, each stage can produce ŒP, ŒN in the manner indicated. The transistor circuits 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 30 are shown in Fig. 3.

IPC: H01F17/02
Filed: 1927-01-17
Abstract: 286,047. Rogers, F., and Griffiths, E. H. Jan. 17, 1927. Inductances.-Coils for wireless and other electrical apparatus are formed by the alternate twisting and doubling of a straight wound coil of one or more turns, the capacity being thereby increased. In one example a straight wound coil, Fig. 1, is twisted into figure-of-eight form, Fig. 2, the two loops being equal or unequal. The loops are then folded so that one lies on or within the other, as shown in Fig. 3. The coil so obtained may be again twisted and doubled and the process repeated until the desired capacity is obtained, the coil then being encased in insulating material and its ends connected to plug-in coupling. Alternatively, the straight wound coil shown in Fig. 1 may be twisted one or more times at diametrically opposite points, as shown in Fig. 4, the resulting loops turned inwardly, Fig. 5, the whole twisted one or more times, Fig. 6, and the inturned loops folded over or within one another, Fig. 7. The internal field may be varied by altering the shape of the coil, as by pressing it into air oval or oblong shape.

Abstract: 580,883. Coated fabrics; compound sheet materials. SYLVANIA INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION. Jan. 25, 1944, No. 1416. Convention date, Jan. 15, 1943. [Class 140] A fabric formed of synthetic resin fibres is coated with a film of a synthetic, rubber-like material by transfer from a temporary backing to which the film is initially applied as a coating. The fabric may be formed by weaving, knitting, braiding, or netting single or plied yarns, threads, or cords of continuous filaments or staple fibres. The synthetic resin may be nylon, a copolymer of vinyl chloride with vinyl acetate or vinylidene chloride, polystyrene, or a polymerized ester of methacrylic acid. The fibres may be pre-stretched, pigmented or dyed, sized, waterproofed, or mouldproofed. The synthetic rubber-like material may be polymerized isobutylene or isobutene, a polymer of butadiene alone or with isobutylene, acrylontrile, or styrene, or polymerized chloroprene. Cellulose derivatives may be incorporated in minor proportion in the fibres or the applied film, and the latter may contain other synthetic resins. The film may contain plasticizers, dyes or pigments, fireproofing or germicidal materials, antioxidants, or materials to absorb ultraviolet light. Opposite sides of the fabric may be coated with differently coloured films. The temporary backing may be regenerated cellulose, a smooth coated fabric or a metal band. The interstices of the fabric may be previously filled with the composition, or the fabric may be pretreated with a liquid which softens or swells the fibres, e.g., nylon fibres may be swollen with hot aqueous formic acid, polystyrene with chlorinated hydrocarbon, and polyvinyl fibres with aqueous acetone.. The fabric may be rendered tacky by heat during the coating operation. The coated fabric may be used for tents, awnings, rain- or water-proof garments umbrellas, shower curtains, hospital sheeting, gas masks, hammocks, book binding, upholstery, balloon fabrics, parachutes, air and gas ducts.

Abstract: 989, 200. Photo-electric inspection apparatus. CROWN CORK & SEAL CO. Inc. June 12, 1962. No. 1852/64. Divided out of 989,199. Heading G1A. A moving window for use in the apparatus described in Specification 989,199 is guided by a series of rollers of which one is pivotted so as to be tiltable about an axis at right angles to its rotational axis and another has flanges at each end the spacing of which corresponds to the width of the web. The roller 14 is journalled in a yoke 26 which is rotatable about a horizontal pivot 28. The window 10 is maintained in its correct position on roller 16 by the flanges 16a and 16b so that position errors on any of the other rollers must be reflected in a position error on roller 14. Such an error causes a turning moment about pivot 28 which sets the roller 14 at the right angle to guide the window to its correct position. The window thus forms a stable closed loop in which position errors are immediately self corrected.

Abstract: 775,171. Electrical servo systems. BRIGGS, G. April 23, 1953 [Jan. 24, 1952], No. 1960/52. Class 40 (1). A differential synchrogenerator for a 3 or more wire electrical servo system comprises a container filled with a conducting liquid, a set of arcuate electrodes symmetrically disposed about an axis and in contact with the liquid, and a rotor mounted in the container carrying a set of arcuate electrodes symmetrically arranged about said axis, each electrode being connected to a separate terminal and the number of electrodes in each set being equal to the number of wires in the system. In the device illustrated (Fig. 1) which is a differential used between the master and repeater of a remote position indicator (Fig. 3) to introduce a predetermined angular displacement between them the rotor is of insulating material and has three arcuate electrodes 13 each subtending 90 degrees at the axis of rotation and three arcuate electrodes 11 each subtending 90 degrees are fixed to the container wall. The rotor is angularly adjustable. With the rotor positioned as in Fig. 2 the repeater takes up a position corresponding to that of the master but if the rotor is displaced by an angle # the repeater then leads or lags behind the movement of the master by this amount. It is suggested that master M might be of the type described in Specification 647,206 having 2 rotor and 3 stator electrodes with a conducting liquid path between them.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the measurement of surface roughness
IPC: G01B7/34
Filed: 1940-02-01
Abstract: 539,272. Electric surface-gauging systems. KAPELLA, Ltd., REASON, R. E., and GARROD, R. I. Feb. 1, 1940, No. 1979. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Group XXXIX] The roughness of a surface is indicated or recorded by traversing the stylus of an electrical pick-up across the surface and integrating the output of the pick-up, or a quantity dependent thereon, for a pre-determined time. In one arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the pick-up comprises a stylus A1 projecting through a presser foot A2 resting on an area of the surface and secured to an anchored ribbed spring arm A3 which carries a coil A5 moving in the gap of a pot-magnet A6. The pick-up may, however, be of piezo-electric or other type, and may be traversed by hand (as shown) or mechanically as described in Specification 539,273. The pickup also includes a manually operated switch AS and is connected by cable to amplifying and indicating equipment B including a time switch D. The output from the pick-up is amplified at C and fed to the integrating meter C1 which may be a damped milliammeter without a restoring spring or of the motor or induction disc type. Power is supplied from mains transformer B1. The time switch comprises a cam D driven through a friction coupling by a motor (not shown) normally held by a detent E4 engaging with stop D4. When traversing is commenced, switch A8 is closed to operate magnet E6 which withdraws the detent. After “ turn of the cam, contacts D1 open to make meter C1 effective to integrate the output of amplifier C until contacts D2 close to maintain the meter reading and, subsequently, stop D6 engages the detent. The meter is then read and switch A8 restored, whereupon detent E4 releases stop D6 and the cam completes its movement, contacts D1 being closed to apply a restoring current to the meter. In another arrangement, Figs. 4 and 6 (not shown), the pick-up is arranged to modulate a high frequency wave as described in Specifications 539,271 and 539,274 the modulated current being rectified and metered. The pick-up is substantially as described in the above mentioned Specifications and in Specification 539,273 which also describes mechanism for traversing the pick-up. The contacts controlling the circuit of the meter are controlled by movement of the traversing arm or by a time switch as described above. The Provisional Specification also describes the use of an electromechanical or other relay such as a gas-filled discharge tube which supplies the integrating meter only when the roughness exceeds a pre-determined limit.
