Title: Improvements in or relating to the treatment of molten metals
Inventor: COOKSEY ROBERT JAMES
IPC: C21C7/00
Filed: 1958-11-10
Abstract: 883,625. Refining metals; removing occluded gases. FOUNDRY SERVICES INTERNATIONAL Ltd. Jan. 4, 1960 [Nov. 10, 1958], No. 36074/58. Classes 72 and 82(1). Molten metals are treated with a gas-generating substance such as for flushing occluded or dissolved gases by plunging in the molten metal a plunger-rod 1 (see Fig. 3) carrying as sleeves thereon blocks of the gas-generating substance 3, which may be 4 inch diam. 1“ inch thick sleeves of marble clips and powder with sodium silicate, wherein the tendency for the generated gas to travel upwards along the surface of the rod or through the body of the blocks is hindered or prevented by providing in the route of the gas a barrier of material of low gas-permeability, such as by alternating with impermeable blocks 4 of fireclay or graphite. The gas-generating blocks may be fluted on their outer circumferential surface (see Fig. 3) or on their inner surface (see Fig. 2) in which latter case the molten metal contacting the rod over the greater part of its surface provides the impermeable barrier, the inter vening blocks 4 being unnecessary. Specifications 716,856 and 827,619 are referred to.

Abstract: 1393774 Corrugating textile fibre webs PIEDMONT MACHINE SHOP Inc 2 Aug 1972 [3 Aug 1971] 36191/72 Heading D1S For improving the resistance to unwinding of a wound textile fibre web W, the web W is longitudinally corrugated by passage between spaced interleaved rotating disc members 35, 36, then immediately, the longitudinal corrugations are compacted by passage between calender rolls 11, 12 to create density variations across the width of the web, and the compacted web is wound. In a textile picker 10, the web W is corrugated by discs 35, 36 fixed to rotating shafts 20, 21 and mounted so that the discs 35 are interleaved with the discs 36 and that each disc rotates without coming into contact with any other disc or with the other of the shafts 20, 21. As shown, the discs 35 have a greater diameter than the discs 36 so that, if the shafts 20, 21 are driven at the same, the peripheral speed of the discs 35 is higher than that of the discs 36 to longitudinally draft portions of the web. To facilitate gripping the web, the edges of the discs 35, 36 may be serrated. The corrugated web passes through a stack of calender rolls 11, 12, 13, 14 and is wound on a lap pin 19, support rolls 17, 18 being provided. Edge guide members 38, 39 are located between the discs 35, 36 and the rolls 11, 12 to prevent transverse expansion of the web W.

Abstract: 1,027,003. Dispersible food products. MATTHEW WHITE & CO. Ltd. Oct. 17, 1962 [Oct. 19, 1961], No. 37512/61. Headings A2B, A2D and A2E. Food products which are easily dispersible in aqueous liquids such as hot water or milk to make drinks or soups, are prepared by mixing the food material, in a finely-divided state, in the presence of liquid with "commercial glucose", drying the mixture and reducing the dried product to a particulate condition. Individual particles of a finely-divided solid food material or small portions of a pasty, thick-liquid or emulsion food material may serve as a core about which individual particles of the commercial glucose becomes crystallized. The liquid may be derived from the aqueous content of the food material and the commercial glucose may be absorbed partially or wholly into the structure of the food particles. The mixture of food material and commercial glucose may be set to form slabs which are then mechanically reduced to powder or granules. By totally enclosing the particles of the food material mould formation may be inhibited. The term "commercial glucose" covers "liquid glucose", corn syrup, crystal syrup and confectioners' glucose. Food materials specified are (a) finely-divided meat, fish, poultry flesh and turtle flesh, (b) finely-divided wheat, oats, maize, barley, corn, rye and rice, (c) finelydivided peas including marrowfat peas, lentils, beans and butter beans, (d) finelydivided fruit or vegetable solids, and (e) comminuted dehydrated soluble extracts of the previously mentioned food materials, meat extracts, fruit juices or purÚes, and preserved fruits. Examples are directed to the preparation of food products from (1) emulsified bacon or ham and commercial glucose, (2) tomato purÚe and commercial glucose; the product was oven dried to produce an aerated "candy" which was then ground down into a granular state.

Title: Signal processing device with thresholding capability
IPC: G01S1/56
Filed: 1976-09-10
Abstract: 1512867 Signal controlled threshold; microwave landing system BENDIX CORP 10 Sept 1976 [30 Oct 1975] 37661/76 Headings H3T and H4D] A received pulse in a microwave beam scanning landing system is detected by delaying the received signal and thresholding it against a signal level derived from the same pulse by detecting the peak level and subtracting a predetermined amount from it. When the signal being processed is a logarithmic signal, reducing the peak level by a predetermined amount is equivalent to reducing the received signal by a fixed proportion e.g. 4 dB. As applied to a system in which the separation of adjacent pulses (or beam scans) indicates angular information, the received signal is applied through a low pass filter 30 and a gate 32 open only when a pulse is expected to a bucket brigade delay 38 and thence to the threshold circuit. The separation of the centres of adjacent pulses is measured by applying the output pulses of threshold 42 to a counter which counts at fo/2 when the pulses are present and fo between the pulses. In another system in which the instantaneous frequency of a frequency modulated subcarrier of the beam indicates angular information, the sub-carrier is filtered at 56, squared by a zero-crossing detector 58 and delayed by the same amount as the received signal is delayed in 38. The instantaneous frequency of the subcarrier is measured by counting the number of subcarrier cycles during the pulse from 42 and comparing it with the number of cycles of a reference frequency in the same period.
