Title: Improvements in circular knitting machines
Inventor: PEBERDY ROLAND
IPC: D04B15/58
Filed: 1967-09-27
Abstract: 1,243,779. Knitting-machines. BENTLEY ENG. CO. Ltd. 12 Sept., 1968 [27 Sept., 1967], No. 43894/67. Heading D1C. In a yarn feeder mechanism, swivelling of the feeder cage 16 normally effected upon a feed change to prevent the incoming feeder fouling the latches, is over-ridden when a particular feeder 14 is introduced. Fouling by this particular feeder is individually avoided. The swivelling is thus over-ridden when, in knitting the first courses of a sock, an elastic yarn is introduced to be fed with the main yarn, which would otherwise tend to be pulled from the needles. The introduction of feeders is controlled by individually racked cam wheels mounted on a common axis. A bluff bar 11 controlling the cam wheel pawls is so arranged that normally when a yarn is introduced cam wheel 21 is rotated thereby raising arm 23 fixed to the axis 24 of the cage 16 which is thus swivelled. The elastic feeder 14 includes a U- shaped arm in a unit at the end of the stem 14b and spring urged towards the cylinder. When bar 11 is moved to introduce feeder 14 rotation of cam 21 is prevented so that the cage remains stationary. A cam 10a however pulls cable 28 to withdraw the feeder.

Title: A process for Welding Metal Plates
IPC: B23K9/00
Filed: 1966-10-03
Abstract: 1,167,163. Welding by fusion. BATTELLE DEVELOPMENT CORP. 3 Oct., 1966 [20 Oct., 1965], No. 44085/66. Heading B3R. In arc welding thick plates the plates are spaced by a relatively narrow gap and a consumable electrode positioned within the gap is operated at a voltage and current within the spray transfer range. The contact tube may be insulated from the work by an insulating coating. A contact tube may be coated with enamel or porcelain. A shielding gas, e.g. 80% argon-20% carbon dioxide or 40% argon- 60% helium is used. The gap is straight sided or part of it may be tapered. The plates may have noses abutting centrally of the gap where welding is to be effected from both sides. Alternatively for one-sided welding a consumable backing bar is used. For a T-joint, Fig. 5, a consumable filler bar 41<SP>1</SP> is located centrally of the gap 22 and a welding torch having an insulated contact tube 25 located eccentrically in a shielding gas nozzle is used. Where two electrodes are used they may be connected to different supplies or the same supply. In the latter case the arc alternates from one electrode to the other. The heat input is kept low within the spray transfer range and welding is performed with many passes. A.C. and/or D.C. may be used. The electrodes may be transversely oscillated. Twin shielding gas pipes 71, Fig. 12, may supply gas to enclosures up and down stream of the electrode 29 within the gap 23. A welding machine, Fig. 18, consists of a head 101 mounted on a rod 109 by links 111 universally jointed at each end to plates 107, 104 respectively connected to the rod 109 and head 101. A spring 153 urges a roller 147, adjustably mounted on the head 101, into engagement with a guide rail 145. A gas enclosure 137 is floatingly mounted on the head 101 and rides on the plates 21 being welded. Bars 129, 131 adjustable by knobs 135 are mounted on the head 101, and serve to ride on the bottom of the joint to control the contact tube to work distance. In a modification, Fig. 19, contact tubes 127, 127<SP>1</SP> are spaced from opposite sides of the gap by spacers 161, 165 secured to the contact tubes, springs 159, 163 maintaining the spacers in contact with the sides of the gap.

Abstract: 1,059,770. Cooling system for electrical resistive elements. CONTINENTALS ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING CO. Oct. 30, 1964 [Nov. 20, 1963], No. 44270/64. Heading F4U. [Also in Divisions H1 and H4] In a cooling system for dissipating heat in a dummy load in the testing of radio transmitters, the dummy load comprises a series of interconnected resistances (20, 22), Fig. 4 (not shown), which are each located centrally in a glass sleeve 38, Fig. 2, and each mounted within a vertical glass tube 24. Each resistor 20 is connected to similar resistors by transmission lines 14, 18 passing through watertight plugs 28. The system is gravity fed with cooling water through a valved pipe (32) (Fig. 1, not shown), from a reservoir 34, the cooling water being circulated between the resistor and the sleeve by means of a siphoning effect induced when steam is produced by the heat from the resistors. Each tube is connected to the reservoir (34) and to a condenser (70) for collecting the steam, although, if desired, each tube may have a separate tank and condenser for individual control purposes. The turbulence created when the steam is made to rebound from the sleeve wall on to the resistor produces a rapid and efficient heat transference from the resistor to the surrounding medium.

Title: Improvements in or relating to logic circuitry
IPC: H03K19/12
Filed: 1959-12-30
Abstract: 904,708. Electric selective signalling. NORMACEM. Dec. 30, 1959 [Dec. 31, 1958], No. 44336/59. Class 40 (1). [Also in Group XL (c)] A bi-stable element with two inlets each of which is fed by a logic circuit of the AND or OR type, each of which in turn is fed by logic circuits of the other type is arranged to switch only at the presence of an electrical signal on the one inlet and absence of such a signal on the other inlet, said presence and absence being simultaneous. First embodiment, Fig. 1. The left-hand input to the winding 1 of a core T of rectangular hysteresis loop comprises three OR gates (D 4 -D 6 ), (D 7 -D 9 ), (D 10 -D 12 ) and one AND gate D 1 -D 3  while the right-hand input comprises three AND gates (D 4 -D 6 ), (D 7 -D 9 ), (D 10 -D 12 ) and one OR gate D 1 -D 3 . The gates are controlled by the +ve and - ve impulses applied through resistors R1, R2 simultaneously. The core T changes over only when a +ve impulse is applied to at least one inlet of each of the OR gates on the left-hand side and simultaneously to all three inlets of at least one of the AND gates on the right-hand side. The output circuit comprises winding 2 fed by - ve impulses 180 degrees out of phase with the other impulses. When the core T remains in its normal state each impulse through winding 2 passes to outlet y<SP>1</SP>. When, however, core T changes over this impulse is absorbed in restoring T and there is no output at y<SP>1</SP>. The output therefore follows the rule and is 180 degrees in phase behind the inlets. The output may be fed to a further core to invert it and bring it into phase (Fig. 3, not shown). More complex arrangements are described with two input windings on core T (Fig. 7 and 8, not shown). Second embodiment, Fig. 9. The magnetic core T is replaced by a pair of transistors Tr1, Tr2, the collectors of which are connected to resistance battery and cross-connected to the bases of the opposite transistor. The bases constitute the inlets of the bi-stable pair and the outlet is taken from the collector of Tr2. The circuit connections may be printed (Figs. 10, 11, not shown).

Abstract: 1411096 Linkwork DRESSER INDUSTRIES Inc 26 Sept 1972 [4 Dot 1971] 44456/72 Heading F2K [Also in Division G1] In a condition responsive gauge instrument such as a Bourdon gauge 11, movement of the condition sensing element 18 is transmitted by a motion amplifier 10 which includes two coupled members 41, 46 each pivotally mounted between limbs of a frame 33 attached for translational movement with the element 18, the member 41 being also pivotable about a fixed axis defined by an actuator 50 such that on motion of the frame 33 the member 41, e.g. a sector arm, pivots about the fixed axis and rotates the member 46, e.g. a pinion meshing with the arm 41, to drive a pointer 19 over a scale 20. In modifications (Figs. 6-18, not shown) the span of the instrument can be adjusted by altering the position of the actuator 50 and thus the pivot axis of the member 41; and the instrument can be zeroed either by providing member 41 with a portion (in which actuator 50 engages) which is manually adjustable relative to the main body of the member 41 or by varying the length of actuator 50. By making the actuator 50 of a bimetallic element thermally coupled to the instrument stem 12 the instrument can be temperature compensated. As in Fig. 19, two Bourdon tubes 98, 99 can be arranged to operate from a common or from different pressure sources, the amplifier 10 being connected to one tube 98 and the actuator 50 to the other tube 99.

Patent GB-1059609-A (GB)
Title: Dried fruit flakes or powder
IPC: A23B7/028
Filed: 1965-10-22
Abstract: Edible flake is produced from fruit having a sugar content greater than 7% on a liquid basis by macerating the fruit to form a puree, homogenizing the puree, heating and agitating the puree, feeding the puree to a rotating drying drum to form a film on the peripheral surface of the drum, removing the film in the presence of a blast of air which is relatively cooler and drier than the surface of the drum and the surrounding air, suspending the film in the blast while reducing its temperature and subjecting it to cooling means so that the film is formed into a brittle mass which readily particulates when agitated.  In the example, peeled bananas after washing are fed through a water seal into a pulper under an inert gas in which they are converted to a puree and ascorbic acid is incorporated.  After homogenizing, and heating and agitating, the puree is cooled and passed to a surge tank from which it is pumped to the drum dryer. Other fruits that may be treated include grapes, strawberries, pineapple, guayaba, and curuba.  A suitable apparatus is described with the aid of a flow diagram.

Abstract: 977,301. Electric selective signalling. GENERAL TIME CORPORATION. Dec.30, 1060 [Dec. 31,1959], No. 44826/60. Heading G4H. Each of a plurality of transmitters may transmit a message comprising a plurality of characters to a central receiver, each message being followed by a length of message character representing the number of characters in the transmitted message, and the central receiver includes means for counting each character received and for comparing the count obtained with the received length of message character, an error digital being produced in the event of disagreement. Transmitter. After initial setting up operations in which a transmitter which is ready to transmit is selected by the central receiver, scanner 58, Fig. 4A transmits a train of characters over lines 46 from a punched-card senser 44, a set of switches 25, a plugboard 53 and telemetry apparatus 60 in turn. The message is followed by the length of message character which comprises a signal on one out of eight of lines 46 representing the remainder after the number of characters in the message has been divided by eight. Central receiver. After reception of the message from a remote transmitter, scanner 126, Fig. 4B inserts a central receiver message on lines 46 comprising the time and fixed data, and this message is also followed by a length of message character. Each character in the transmitter and central messages is recoded by gates 128 into a 6-unit code and is then entered into a buffer shift register comprising bi-stable circuits 158, 166 Fig. 4C. A tape-feed bi-stable circuit 168 is set as each character passes to circuits 166, and a parity bit generated by circuit 192 is entered in bi-stable circuit 170. Characters are read out of the shift register in synchronizm with the operation of a tape punch 26, Fig. 4D, a parity check being performed by unit 214 on each character recorded. Length-of-message checks are performed by unit 218, Fig. 4C which is shown in detail in Fig. 11. A three-stage binary counter L10, L12, L14 registers the number of characters received in the transmitter message, and the recoded length of message character from gates 128, Fig. 4B is entered in bi-stable circuits L7, L8, L9. In the event of disagreement an error signal is produced on lead 222 connected to the error signalling unit 238, Fig. 4C. The length of message character for the central message is preset on switches L50, L52, L54, and if the number of received characters in the central message does not agree with the setting of switches L50-L54 a central error lead 236 is energized. Any length of message or parity error or malfunction of tape punch 26 results in an error character being recorded on the tape and an error signal being sent to the transmitter.

[Also in Division G3] A material stabilising system comprises means for sensing instability in initially manufactured material, encoding initial state information in or upon the material and subsequently controlling the modification of the material to produce a finished product. As shown, yarns are fed from beams 5, 6 to pass over tension springs 7, 8 to knitting elements, comprising guides 9, 10 a presser 11, a sinker 12 and needles 13, whereby the yarns are converted into fabric 14 which is withdrawn by tension rollers 15. The number of motions made by the needles is sensed by a microswitch 18 and fed to a counter 19 whose output comprises a series of impulses. The impulses energise a marker 16 placing magnetically, optically, or capacitively detectable elements in, or on, the fabric. The prepared fabric is passed to a batching roll 17. In a modification, the formed fabric has a magnetic tape inserted from a magazine 20 under control of an integrating unit having an input derived from the surface speeds of rollers bearing on the beams 5, 6. The information stored on the elements or tape is decoded by pressing the fabric through a tensioning device to a sensor. The fabric passes on to a stenter in which it is heated to set the plastics materials from which it is made. The output of the sensor is indicative of the weight of a given quantity of yarn in the material and is compared with the measured heated-treated material and the derived error used to control the tensioning device.
