Patent GB-384436-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of textile materials
IPC: D06M13/08
Filed: 1931-12-04
Abstract: For the production of ornamental effects, fabrics containing yarns or fibres of a cellulose derivative and yarns or fibres of another material are treated with a solvent for the cellulose derivative so that the whole of the cellulose derivative is dissolved out.  Thus, a woven, knitted or netted fabric containing cellulose acetate and natural silk may be treated with acetone so that all the cellulose acetate is removed, leaving an open-mesh silk fabric; check effects may be obtained by varying the proportion of cellulose acetate and natural silk at different parts of the fabric.  In another application of the process, natural silk may be embroidered on fabric composed wholly or partly of cellulose acetate, and the latter then dissolved away. Other celluloseacetate solvents which may be used are acetic acid, methyl acetate, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and dioxane.  The cellulose acetate may be replaced by cellulose nitrate, formate, propionate, or butyrate, or methyl, ethyl or benzyl cellulose, and instead of natural silk there may be used regenerated cellulose rayon, cotton, wool, or linen. Specification 360,938 is referred to.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes broadly the production or ornamental effects on mixed fabrics by treating the fabric with a solvent for one of its component yarns or fibres.  It states also that the solvent may be applied locally.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-491841-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to treatment of superphosphate or fertiliser containing same
IPC: C05B1/02
Filed: 1936-12-08
Abstract: Superphosphate or mixed fertilizer containing it is agitated in a non-drying atmosphere in the presence of an aqueous medium at atmospheric temperature and pressure to form nodules which have some tendency to stick together and is then dried under agitation at atmospheric pressure to form indurated granular nodules.  Fresh or partly cured superphosphate may be used and the method of treatment accelerates the curing. In a modification, particularly adapted for the treatment of partly cured superphosphate, the moistened material passes through a steam jacketed rotary drier open to the atmosphere in countercurrent to warm air so that modules are first formed under non-drying conditions in the forepart of the drier and these are dried during their passage through the rest of the <PICT:0491841/III/1> drier.  Mixed fertilizers for treatment may contain superphosphate, ammonium sulphate, and potassium chloride, or nitrogen may be supplied by sodium nitrate or urea and potash by potassium sulphate or "manure salt."  The constituents of the mixed fertilizer are preferably dry mixed with an addition of phosphate rock, then moistened and nodulized.  As shown in the Figure, superphosphate or mixed fertilizer may be fed from a hopper 2 by a conveyer 3 continuously into and through a rotary drum 22 open at both ends where it is moistened by sprays 9 and nodulized.  The nodules pass into a directly heated rotary drier 10 operating at a maximum temperature of say 180 DEG  F.  If the superphosphate treated contains sufficient moisture, none need be added.  The final product will usually contain 5 per cent moisture, when starting with a material moistened to contain say 12 per cent thereof, but a product may be obtained containing the same moisture content as the initial unmoistened material, say 9 per cent.

Title: Readout means
IPC: G08C15/00
Filed: 1975-07-16
Abstract: 1504130 Measuring voltage STRAINSTALL Ltd 16 July 1975 [2 Aug 1974] 34181/74 Heading G1U In providing readings from a plurality of transducers, the output voltage from each is applied to a respective constant current source including a voltage regulator, voltage amplifier and an output current stage whose output current magnitude is proportional to the transducer voltage and which is cut-off instantaneously if the supply voltage thereto is of a particular polarity. The current sources are connected to read-out means, comprising a diode and current meter for each transducer, via at least three inter-connecting conductors, two of which are connected to an alternating voltage supply and the others, which carry the output current from the current sources, are equal in number to onehalf the number of current sources (rounded up to the nearest whole number if the number of current sources is odd. The supply V S  is connected to terminals A, B in an amplifier unit over leads of resistance r 1 , r 2 . A voltage regulator VR applies a constant voltage VR to the strain gauge (or temperature or position sensor) bridge T, independent of fluctuations in V S  and the values of r 1 , r 2 . The bridge output voltage is converted to a current I o  whose value depends solely on the values of v o , Rl, R2 and R3. The current I o  flows through a meter M indicating the parameter measured by the bridge T. In the invention, pairs of bridges and amplifier units are connected to the same three leads r 1 , r 2 , r 3 , except the terminals A, B are reversed for the respective units, Fig. 2 (not shown). Thus, while the squarewave supply V 1  makes one terminal (X) positive with respect to the other (Y), one amplifier unit (A 1 ) is energized to provide an indication on a first meter (M1). During the other half-cycle this amplifier (A1) is de-energized since diode D, Fig. 1, is reverse biased. Thus the other meter (M2) indicates the measurement of the second transducer (T 2 ). Further pairs require only the addition of one further conductor i.e. equivalent to r3. Any unpaired amplifier unit also requires one extra conductor.

Title: Improvements in and relating to a process and apparatus for case hardening articles of iron, steel, or alloys thereof
IPC: C23C8/22
Filed: 1935-12-13
Abstract: 470,701. Case-hardening. TRIGGS, W. W. (American Gas Furnace Co.) Dec. 13, 1935, No. 34595. [Class 72] [Also in Group XII] In the case-hardening of articles of iron, steel or alloys thereof, the articles are passed continuously in succession into a heating zone containing carburizing material and maintained at a temperature sufficient to raise the articles to a carburizing temperature, thus carburizing them and then into a heating zone at a lower temperature containing nitrogenizing material whereby they are also nitrogenized. The casehardening material may be introduced in the form of solids, or fluids, the latter preferably at the end of the nitrogenizing zone and the articles are advanced during treatment in a succession of steps. The carburizing temperature is 1600‹ F. and the nitrogenizing temperature 1300‹ F. In the apparatus shown in the Figure in which gaseous materials are used, the articles are fed by a spout 105 into a retort 101 mounted on or secured to a shelf 11 which is suspended inside a furnace 7 by straps 13 from a frame 17, placed outside the furnace. The shelf 11 is oscillated or vibrated from a cam 35, mounted on a shaft 37, by a rocker arm 29 mounted on a shaft 31 and loosely connected by a pivot 25 to an arm 23 secured to the end of the shelf 11. Mounted on the shaft 31 is an arm 39 to the outer end of which is secured one end of a spring 41 anchored to the frame 1 of the furnace. To assist the jogging or vibrating movement of the shelf 11 and so the advance of the articles in the retort 101 in a succession of steps, an iron strap 19 connected to the outer end of the shelf 11 is looped round an adjustable bumper 21. The shelf 11 and retort 101 are heated by burners 301 arranged as shown to produce the desired temperatures in the carburizing and nitrogenizing zones of the retort. Hydrocarbon gases are fed into the retort by a pipe 201 and ammonia by a pipe 203. The casehardened articles pass by a spout 113 into a tank 119 which may contain quenching liquid. If solids or powder are used they may be intermixed with, or covered over, the articles as they are fed into the retort 101 or the articles may be deposited on them as they are being fed into the retort. If liquids are used, they are introduced drop by drop into the end of the retort. Examples of solids used are charcoal, granular bone or powder coke for carburizing and a cyanide for the nitrogenizing.

Filed: 1970-07-17
Abstract: 1312351 Change-speed control NIPPON DENSO KK and TOYOTA JIDOSHA KOGYO KK 17 July 1970 [19 July 1969] 34820/70 Heading F2D In a torque-converter driven automatic transmission for a motor vehicle, of the kind wherein friction engaging means of a planetary gear set are engaged by liquid pressure regulated by a valve 100, the loading of that regulator valve is reduced by a solenoid valve 140 energized by a signal generated electronically when output speed N 3  is below a predetermined value (20 r.p.m.) at the same time that torqueconverter turbine speed N 2  is above a second predetermined value (20 r.p.m.). This prevents shock when the manual selector valve is moved to start the vehicle after a temporary stop. Function summary.-Automatic electronic control (not described) is responsive to the same speed signals N 3 , N 3  above referred to, and in one case additionally to input speed. A manual valve provides two automatic ranges, low, reverse and park. Fluid pressure supply and regulation.-Pressure supplied by a single input-driven pump P F  is regulated by the valve 100 loaded downwards to increase line pressure to the manual valve V (not described), by a spring 107 and by pressure P T , modulated by the usual governor and throttle pressures. Pressure is supplied to the line V directly through a one-way valve 122 and acts upwardly on the regulator valve 100 through a line 125. Torque converter feed is shown at 10. The temporary pressure reduction, for starting, is provided by energizing the solenoid 146 of the valve 140, which directs line pressure 130 through a line 126 to a chamber 108 below the regulator valve 100, thus opposing downward loading to reduce line pressure. A similar effect is obtained in neutral and park settings by supplying pressure 133 through a one-way valve 132 direct to the chamber 108. After closure of the valve 140 by de-energizing the solenoid, pressure 130 leaks off through a restrictor, 148. In a modified regulator valve, Fig. 3 (not shown), for use with an automatic control responsive also to input speed, and a gear-ratio setting signal, the one-way valves 122, 132 and feed 131 are omitted, and the regulator valve 100 has only three lands, one directly controlling a single outlet 10, V, to the torque converter and manual valve. Electrical circuit.-For the temporary pressure reduction the solenoid 146 of the valve 140 is energized by the circuit shown in Fig. 4, wherein pick-ups 20, 30 from notched wheels rotating with the output and converter turbine shafts, respectively feed frequenoy-D.C. voltage converters 220, 230 which issue signals when output speed N 3  is below 20 r.p.m. and turbine speed above 20 r.p.m. These signals feed a NAND circuit 250 which then cancels a signal feeding a NOT circuit 260 which thereupon issues an energizing signal to the valve solenoid 146, to reduce regulated pressure.
