Title: Improvements in or relating to devices for the detection of leaks in pressurized cables
Inventor: CHAVIGNER ANDRE CHARLES
IPC: G01M3/28
Filed: 1952-05-02
Abstract: 697,598. Detecting faults in cables. SOC. ALSACIENNE DE CONSTRUCTIONS MECANIQUES. May 2, 1952 [May 21, 1951], No. 11176/52. Class 37. The pressure at a point in a gas-filled cable is detected by means of a spark-gap comprising a pair of electrodes situated in the cable sheath so as to allow circulation of the gas between the electrodes. Variation of the potential across these electrodes from a distance until the spark gap breaks down, then gives a measure of the gas pressure near the spark gap. A number of such spark gaps may be situated along the cable and the potential may be applied over the cable conductors. A galvanometer, relay and resistor in series with the spark-gap may be situated at the station where the heating voltage is applied, the relay being arranged to operate a warning when the spark gap breaks down. As shown, the electrodes 1, 2 are mounted in insulators 5, 6 and are provided with disc-shaped ends. The insulators are supported by a spun tube 7 of annealed copper in which are provided apertures for the gas to circulate. The distance between the electrodes may be adjusted by crushing the copper tube longitudinally.

Title: Azo dyestuffs of the naphthyl pyrazolone series and the copper complexes thereof
IPC: C09B45/08
Filed: 1958-04-09
Abstract: The invention comprises dyes of formula:  <FORM:0841413/IV (c)/1> where R is the residue of a diazo component having Y #s to N2, Y is OH or COOH and Z is the radical of a mono- or poly-functional arylating-agent linked to at least one amino group containing radical, and their copper complexes.  They are made by coupling appropriate diazotised amines corresponding to R with a compound of formula:  <FORM:0841413/IV (c)/2> where X is an amino group or group convertible thereto, reacting with a mono- or poly-functional arylating agent, if necessary after conversion of X to NH2, and coppering the product if desired.  Alternatively arylation of the naphthyl-pyrazolone may precede the coupling reaction.  Arylations may be effected in the presence of other amino group-containing compounds.  Coppering may be effected in substance or on a substrate. Specified arylating-agents are phosgene, fumaric and terephthalic acid dichlorides, chloroformic acid phenyl ester and cyanuric chloride. Arylation with chloroformic acid phenyl ester proceeds via the urethane.  Indicated as aminogroup-containing compounds are iso- and hetero-cyclic amines, aminoazo dyes, e.g. 1-amino-2-methoxy-5-methylbenzene-(4, 11)-azo-81-naphthol-31, 61-disulphonic acid, copper complexes of azo compounds, e.g. the copper complex of 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4, 8- disulpho-naphthalene-(6, 11)-azo-21-naphthol-31, 61-disulphonic acid and aminoanthraquinones e.g. 1-amino-4-(p-amino-phenyl-amino)-anthraquinone-2-sulphonic acid. When polyfunctional arylating agents are used e.g. cyanuric chloride, unreacted arylation groups may be converted to hydroxy groups. Indicated as diazo components are aromatic and heterocyclic amines such as 1-aminobenzene-2-carboxylic acids, 2-amino-sulphobenzoic acids, 2-amino-phenols and 1-amino-2-alkoxybenzenes and #s-alkoxyaminoazo compounds.  The copper dyes colour vegetable fibres.  Examples are provided of the preparation of the dyes and their use in dyeing processes. Green, red, brown and yellow shades are obtained.

Title: Improved differential control for dual-purpose wing flaps for aircraft
IPC: B64C13/00
Filed: 1944-06-13
Abstract: 582,952. Controlling aircraft. LACHMANN, G. V., and SUPPANCIC, G. O. June 13, 1944, No. 11312. [Class 4] Control mechanism for elevons is 'operable alternatively to impart to' the control surfaces on opposite sides of the aircraft differential, i.e. unequal, movements in opposite directions, or simultaneous movements of equal magnitude and sense in either direction. As shown in Fig. 1 the simultaneous elevator movement is imparted by fore-and-aft rocking movement of a control column 10 which rotates transverse shafts 17, 18 actuating the control surfaces. Differential movement in opposite directions is imparted to the shafts by rotation of a hand wheel 12 which, through bevel gearing 13, actuates non-parallel linkages 14, 15, 16. In the construction shown in Fig. 3 the hand wheel 12 is geared to a shaft 19 inside the control column, the shaft carrying at its lower end a bevel pinion 20 meshing with further pinions 21, between which and the shafts 17, 18, are universal Hooke's joints 22. If a large differential ratio is required the actuating mechanism may include a number of non-parallel linkages or Hooke's joints, or a. combination of such linkages and joints. In the embodiment according to Fig. 4 the hand wheel 12 operates non-parallel linkages 26, 30, the members 26 of which carry toothed segments meshing with bevel pinions 25 on the shafts 17, 18. Instead of the toothed gearing the members 26 may be operated by helically grooved cams on the shafts 17, 17 (Fig. 4a, not shown), or the toothed gearing may actuate chain-andsprocket mechanism (Fig. 4b, not shown). Fig. 5 shows a construction in which sun-andplanet gearing is interposed between the non- parallel linkages and the control surfaces, the planets 41 being carried by the members 16 of the linkages, the sun wheels 42 being rigidly connected with the transverse axis about which the control member 10 swings, and the annuli 43 being connected with the elevons. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the members 16 of the non-parallel linkages are attached to pinions 48 meshing with pinions 44 carried by brackets 45 attached to the column 10, and carrying links 46 attached to bell-cranks 47 operating the control surfaces. Specifications 371,922, 420,928 and 576,536, [Group XXIV], are referred to.

Title: Data processing systems
IPC: G06F13/24
Filed: 1972-03-13
Abstract: 1372002 Data processing system INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 13 March 1972 [22 April 1971] 11563/72 Heading G4A A switching system 14 selectively connects any of a plurality of peripheral devices D1-D16 to any one of a plurality of independent controllers CU1-CU4, each of which is independently connected to at least one central processor CPUA, CPUB, each CU scans the switching system 14 to detect an interrupt signal from any device D and responds to any such signal by interrogating the CPUs to attempt to select the interrupting device, and the interrogated CPU responds by controlling the CU to sense whether the interrupting device is busy or not busy to supply signals to the CPU indicating that no action need be taken or to select the device, respectively. Each device D, e.g. a magnetic tape unit, has a monitoring system for detecting certain conditions, e.g. tape rewind completed, malfunction, and which, as a consequence, supplies an interrupt signal to all the CUs which are microprogrammed to continuously scan for such signals. On detecting an interrupt signal a CU stores a bit in a register of local storage LSR, Fig. 4, corresponding to the interrupting device together with device status bits. In a subsequent microprogrammed scan, the stored bit is detected and is transferred to a register CC at a position determined by whether the interrupt is suppressible or not, this constituting a REQIN signal supplied over a channel to a CPU, and the device address is stored in registers EA, EB for the A, B channels. The CU continues to scan if the interrupt was suppressible, and on finding another stored interrupt bit, the address in EA, EB is replaced by that associated with the last scanned interrupt. Replacement continues until a non- suppressible interrupt is found, when a bit is set in a register BR which is scanned by the microprogram before transferring an interrupt from LSR to CC. On detecting a REQIN signal from a CU during a scanning process, a CPU responds by supplying a SELO signal to initiate a selection routine within the CU which checks the interrupt status and, if it is still pending, and the device is not busy, a commit latch in network 14 is set and the CU indicates possible selection to the CPU and sends a status byte. An all zero status byte is sent if the device is busy. If another CU has already set a commit latch in network 14, however, an all zero status byte is sent to indicate no further action can be taken so that duplicate handling of interrupts is avoided. Meanwhile, other CUs continue to scan the network 14 for interrupts, and on detecting that a previously stored interrupt has been serviced by another CU, the stored interrupt data is erased and the REQIN signal is dropped unless other interrupts are still pending.

Abstract: 1284494 Workholders MOSKOVSKY ZAVOD AVTOMATICHESKIKH LINY STANKOLINIA 12 March 1970 11881/70 Heading B3B [Also in Division F1] A single-acting hydraulic cylinder 2, Fig. 1, suitable for clamping a workpiece 11 to a table 8 has a piston 5 slidable therein, a rod 6 displaceable relative to the cylinder 2 and piston 5, a first spring 13 arranged between a flange 6<SP>1</SP> of rod 6 and the piston 5, a second spring 16 arranged between the rod 6 and the cylinder end 15 and means 14 including a non-return valve (not shown) for supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid to the cylinder space 17, thereby displacing the piston and also compressing the springs. As shown, the lower outer end of the rod 6 is secured to the table 8 and a clamp member 18 resting on the workpiece 11 is contoured to fit the cylinder head 3. On admitting pressure fluid at 14 to cylinder space 17, piston 5 lifts a distance h until it abuts a shoulder on rod 6, thus compressing spring 13 after which the cylinder 2 is forced downwards, thus compressing spring 16 and urging clamp member 18 against the workpiece 11. The fluid supply is then disconnected and clamping pressure is maintained by spring 13. To release the clamp the trapped fluid is discharged from space 17 by means not shown. For use with a workpiece 22 of greater thickness, a manually adjusted threaded clamp member 19 held by a lock-nut 20 abuts the workpiece 22 and on pressurizing space 17 the member 19 is urged downwardly. In a modification the cylinder 52, Fig. 3, remains stationary and on admitting pressure fluid at 59 to cylinder space 60 the piston 54 is depressed against a spring seated on a flange 55<SP>1</SP> of a rod 55 which in turn results in compression of the rod 55, a distance c. An angled clamp member 61 carried by a post 64 is then positioned by a nut 63 so as to abut the upper end of rod 55 and the workpiece 62 after which the cylinder space 60 is connected to exhaust to allow rod 55 to be extended by the springs, thereby pivoting member 61 about a curved washer 65 acting as a fulcrum.
