Title: Improvements in devices for measuring illumination
IPC: G01J1/42
Filed: 1957-10-02
Abstract: 871,620. Measuring illumination ratios. PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIKEN N.V. Oct. 2, 1957 [Oct. 4, 1956], No. 30851/57. Class 40(3) [Also in Group XXXVI] In a device for measuring the ratio between the illumination of different parts of a scene, the video signal from an electronic camera scanning the scene is combined with a train of pulses generated during the blanking periods of the camera and the combined signal is fed to one deflection circuit of an oscilloscope whilst the other deflection circuit is connected to a sawtooth generator operating preferably at frame-field or line frequency of the camera, the amplitude of the said pulses being made variable by a calibrated device which indicates the relative illumination corresponding to various points on the trace on the oscilloscope of the video signal, with which the trace of the pulses is selectively aligned. A video signal from an electronic camera is supplied at 10 to a mixing stage 8 where it is mixed with square pulses derived from a pulse generator 2 controlled by line synchronizing pulses of the camera, the pulses being fed to the mixing stage 8 through a potentiometer 4 and a calibrated potentiometer 6. The mixed signal is fed to the vertical deflection circuit of an oscilloscope 9, which if the time base is synchronized at the video signal frame frequency, displays a horizontal line 13 representing the amplitude of the square pulses and a trace 12 representing the video signal. With the potentiometer 6 adjusted to its maximum, the potentiometer 4 is adjusted until the line 13 is in a position at 14 corresponding to the maximum of the trace 12. The potentiometer 6 may then be adjusted to bring the line 13 to any position on the trace 12 and the ratio ofthe illumination of the part of the scene represented by the trace at such position, with respect to the maximum illumination in the scene is read from the calibrations of the potentiometer 6. If the time base of the oscilloscope is synchronized at the video line frequency, the trace on the oscilloscope is as shown in Fig. 4. The electronic camera may constitute an electronic viewer associated with a film camera.

Patent GB-311110-A (GB)
Abstract: 311,110. Fooley & Son, Ltd., H., and Murphy,T. H. May 19, 1928. Printed records, apparatus for giving. - A weighing-apparatus of the kind embodying a rotatable printing type disc mounted separately from the indicating mechanism but arranged coaxially with the spindle thereof is provided with a resilient member fixed relatively to either the spindle of the indicating mechanism or the type disc and adapted to come into contact, with means carried by the type disc or by the indicating spindle as the case may be, when the speed of rotation of the type disc exceeds that of the spindle whereby the said member is flexed or compressed and opposes a resistance to the type disc to check its momentum and enable it to come rapidly to rest. The type disc 6 mounted on a spindle 4 is driven from the indicating spindle 3 by a counterbalanced arm 8 acting upon a peg 7. A suspended weight' 9 tends to maintain the peg 7 in contact with the arm 8 but if momentum causes the type disc to move faster than the indicating spindle the peg 7 moves into contact with a blade spring 12 also carried by the indicating spindle, and the momentum is checked thus causing the type disc to come rapidly to rest when the indicating pointer has attained the equilibrium position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for delivering measured quantities of liquid
IPC: B67D7/16
Filed: 1929-10-14
Abstract: 346,791. D e - livering measured quantities of liquids. EICKMEYER, E. E., 1218, Seneca Drive, Dayton, Ohio, U. S. A. Oct. 14, 1929, No. 31135. [Class 106 (v).] Fixed chamber apparatus in which liquid is pumped'into a glass container 8 to the level of a fixed overflow pipe 31 and is discharged to the level of the top of an adjustable pipe 22, provides quantitysetting mechanism for determining the position of the pipe 22, interlocked with the discharge valve 29 so as to permit alternative use only. The rotation of the lever 46 adjusts pipe 22 through pinion and rack gearing 71, 70, while pressure on the lever engages one' pin 47 in an' opening corresponding to the amount of liquid required, and withdraws another pin 65 from the' path of a projection 69 linked to' the actuating spindle 84 of the discharge valve 29; on the latter being opened the' projection 69 is lodged between the supply pipe 6 and pin 65 preventing movement of the setting lever during the discharging operation. The exact setting is determined by the adjustment of jaws 54 pivotally mounted on arms 56 engaged over threaded spindles 57 projecting radially from the hub 58. To lock the apparatus, the lever 46 is set to "Drain" position in which the top of the pipe 22 is flush with the base of the chamber 8. The nozzle of the discharge hose 30 is lodged in the end of the pipe 94 projecting from the drain-back pipe, and a hinged cover 102 with set-screws brought over the flange 100. The depression of pipe 22 and its depending rod 23 causes a bracket 73 to force down a pin 78 upstanding from a bracket 79. This releases lever 80 mounted on a spindle 82 which is connected by link 81 to the actuating spindle 6 of the valve 29, and carries a lever 105 which is upturned until its eye 106 is in alignment with an eye 107 on the cover 102. A padlock then secures the apparatus against use. The rotation of the spindle 82 lifts rod 81 and opens valve 29 permitting any liquid in the container 8 to drain back to the reservoir. The interior of the container 8 is illuminated through a window 19 by means of a lamp 20, and the quantity of the liquid may be ascertained by reference to a scale 16. A pipe 38 forms an air line between the top of container 8 and the pipe 27. The sections 27, 29 of the discharge passage are out of alignment and separated by a, transparent section 115, the liquid flow being observable through openings in a sleeve 114. A hinged cover may be turned over the pipe 94 when the discharge nozzle is not looked therein.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the preparation of esters
IPC: C07C69/76
Filed: 1964-08-04
Abstract: Aryl esters of carbocyclic mono- or poly-carboxylic acids are prepared by reacting an aliphatic ester of the acid, containing at least 2 carbon atoms in the aliphatic group, with a monohydric phenol at a temperature above 160 DEG  C. in the presence of a transesterification catalyst, the aliphatic alcohol produced being removed from the reaction mixture as it is formed.  The treatment of esters of di- or polycarboxylic acids having carboxy groups in adjacent nuclear positions is excluded.  When esters of dicarboxylic acids are treated, the process may yield either diaryl esters of the acids or aryl-alkyl esters, the relative quantities of the reagents or the duration of the reaction being suitably adjusted.  Specified transesterification catalysts are polyphosphoric acids, alkali-metal hydrogen phosphates, alkali or alkaline-earth metal hydroxides, tertiary amines, butyl titanate, calcium stearate, zinc laurate and compounds of antimony or tin, e.g. antimony trioxide or tin stearate. In typical examples, (1) ethyl benzoate and phenol, in the presence of butyl titanate, yield phenyl benzoate, (2) butyl p-toluate and phenol, in the presence of tin stearate and zinc stearate, yield phenyl p-toluate, (3) dibutyl terephthalate and phenol, in the presence of antimony trioxide, yield butyl phenyl terephthalate and diphenyl terephthalate, (4) propyl hexahydro-p-toluate and phenol, in the presence of tin stearate, yield phenyl hexahydro-p-toluate and (5) dibutyl isophthalate and m-cresol, in the presence of antimony trioxide, yield butyl m-cresyl isophthalate and di-m-cresyl isophthalate.  Other acids from which the initial esters may be derived are diphenyldicarboxylic acids, diphenylmethane-dicarboxylic acids, benzophenonedicarboxylic acids, naphthalenedicarboxylic acids, and cyclohexanedicarboxylic acids.  Other phenols which may be used are the xylenols, butyl phenols, octyl phenols, benzyl phenols and b -naphthol.
