Abstract: 1,114,286. Geophysical prospecting. COMPAGNIE DES COMPTEURS. 1 5  Sept., 1965 [16 Sept., 1964; 7 July, 1965], No. 39469/65. Heading H4D. In a system for examining the geological structure of the sea-bed, the attenuation of lowfrequency (0À1 c/s. to 1000 c/s.) acoustic waves reflected from the sea-bed and received by a receiver maintained at a constant distance above the sea-bed is measured. Continuous wave signals of substantially constant amplitude and of fixed or varying frequency are emitted by a towed transmitter 12 which may be maintained at a constant depth, below sea-level. One or more receivers 22 are carried by diving vanes 24 which continuously transmit measurements of their distances from the sea-bed to a ship-borne system 21. System 21 controls the length of a cable 25 between the ship and a float 23 so as to maintain constant the distances of a receiver 22 from the sea-bed and from the transmitter 12. Received signals are recorded, together with the geographical location of the ship, by ship-borne equipment 31 and their attenuation, after taking into account parameters such as the frequency of the transmitted waves, the immersion depth of the transmitter 12, and the distance between transmitter 12 and receiver 22, provides an indication of the geological nature of the sea-bed. The distance of a receiver 22 from the sea-bed may also be recorded and taken into account in interpreting the attenuation of the received signals. To aid in interpretation of the recorded signals, a plurality of records may be made for a region of the sea-bed with different transmission frequencies or with various distances between the transmitter 12 and receivers 22. The distance of a receiver 22 from the sea-bed may be varied according to the water depth if variations in the water depth are significant.

Title: Electronic ignition systems
IPC: F02P3/05
Filed: 1965-10-01
Abstract: 1,075,889. Ignition systems. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. Oct. 1, 1965 [Oct. 12, 1964; Oct. 13, 1964], No.41696/65. Heading FIB. In an ignition system in which an electronic switching device 33 controls the flow of current from a source 27 through a primary winding 11 of a transformer, the duration of the conducting period of the electronic switching device is controlled by the time taken to reverse the magnetization in a saturable magnetic core other than the core of the transformer. As shown a first winding 42 on the core is in series with the source and a contact breaker 47, a second winding 61 on the core is connected in series with the source and the electronic switching device so that it carries at least some of the current through the electronic switching device and a third feedback winding 65 of the core is connected to the control electrode 67 of the electronic switching device. In operation opening of the contact breaker points causes a signal to be induced in the feedback winding which signal switches on the electronic switching device and causes current to flow in the primary winding of the transformer and the second winding on the core. The current in the second winding sets the core to positive saturation over a time period and over that time period maintains a signal in the feedback winding. Once positive saturation is reached the signal in the feedback winding disappears and the electronic switching device is switched off to cut off the current through the primary winding. A rectifier may be arranged to prevent current reversal in the second winding on the core when the electronic switching device is switched off. There may be a variable resistance between the source and the contact breaker. In a condenser discharge ignition system the condenser is charged from the secondary winding of the transformer. The condenser is discharged into the primary winding of the ignition coil in synchronism with the switching of the electronic switching means. A second electronic switching device controls discharge of the condenser into the primary winding of the ignition coil. The second electronic switching means may be a controlled rectifier. Other modifications are described. The electronic switching device may be a solid state switching device e.g. a transistor. A spark occurs at the spark plugs only a very short time after the contact breaker points open. This permits the system to be installed in an automotive vehicle without altering the advance mechanism of a conventional distributor used in a standard ignition system.
