Abstract: 983, 039. Digital data storage. THOMPSON RAMO WOOLDRIDGE Inc. Sept. 6, 1963, No. 35373/63. Heading G4C. [Also in Division H3] In a circuit which produces a first pulse signal requiring the substantial coincidence therewith of a clock pulse signal for producing a third pulse signal, means are provided for testing the deterioration of the circuit by respectively advancing and retarding the phase of the clock pulse signal and detecting in each case the extent of advance or retardation required before the correct third pulse signal ceases to be produced by the circuit. The arrangement may be applied for testing the deterioration of the read-out circuit of a magnetic drum data storage device on which data is stored using the phase reversal (Manchester) technique, the read-out waveform requiring to be sampled by clock pulses. As shown in Fig. 2, the read-out waveform 16 is sampled by clock pulses 10 which can be advanced or retarded to positions 10A or 10B before an incorrect output is obtained. Read-out circuit, Fig. 5. Clock pulses are read from a clock track on a magnetic drum (not shown) by a transducer 70 and applied via a phase adjust circuit (Fig. 4, not shown) to a circuit 76 which produces two relatively fixed phase-displaced clock pulse trains A and B required for a computer 82, train A also being applied to read circuits 86 which receive signals from a data track transducer 84. The output of the read circuits 86 is applied to the computer 82 and to an indicator 88 which may be a cathode ray tube or a counter. In operation, with a knob 74 in the phase adjust circuit 72 in the centre position, the indicator, assumed to be a cathode ray tube, will display the data read from the drum. The knob 74 is then rotated first to advance the clock pulse phase until there is an alteration in the indicated pattern, and then in the opposite direction again until there is an alteration in the pattern, the amount of rotation in each case providing a measure of the extent of deterioration in the read-out circuit. If the indicator 88 is a counter, it counts the number of "1"'s in the data track and is then reset and in this case the knob 74 is rotated until the count alters. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 6, not shown) each word on the drum is provided with a parity bit, and the output of a parity flip-flop and a pulse produced by counting clock pulses for each word are applied to an indicator which operates if only one of these two outputs is received. In operation, the clock phase is adjusted until the indicator operates.

Abstract: 362,150. Converting; transformers. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London.-(Assignees of Lennox, T. C. ; 24, Waverly Street, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, U.S.A.) Nov. 29, 1930, No. 36000. Convention date, Nov. 29, 1929. [Class 38 (ii).] In a polyphase rectifier installation in which the rectifier 13 is fed by a group of polyphase secondaries 16, 17 on a main transformer 12 the star points of the groups being interconnected by an interphase transformer 14 to which the negative side of the D.C. circuit 11 is connected, a condenser 19 dimensioned to carry the full load current of the transformer is associated with the interphase transformer in order to improve the voltage regulation of the installation over the whole or a substantial part of the load range. The condenser may be connected in shunt to a secondary winding on the transformer 14 as shown in Fig. 1, or across the primary winding extended to apply an increased voltage as shown in Fig. 3. The interphase transformer may be designed to saturate at a particular value of load current so as to produce resonance conditions in the condenser circuit and thus produce a sharp drop in D.C. voltage at that load current. In the case of a 12-anode rectifier, Fig. 4 (not shown), fed by four sets of polyphase secondaries, two interphase transformers having secondaries shunted by condensers are used for interconnecting the star points. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 6, in which the rectifier is fed by a single polyphase secondary winding 33, a similar effect is obtained by connecting a condenser 35 and inductance 36 in parallel across a tertiary winding 34 provided on the main transformer.

[Also in Division A5] A liquid administration unit comprises a plastics container having a liquid outlet located at the bottom and at one side thereof, and a bail member integral with the top of the container and extending in a direction away from that side of the container having the liquid outlet. At least part of the bail member is sufficiently flexible and resilient that when the container is filled with liquid and is suspended by the bail member, the latter is deflected from its original position relative to the container; on draining liquid from the container, this relative original position tends to be restored thus causing the container to tip towards the side with the liquid outlet. As shown in Fig. 6, container 10 comprises a circular bottom wall 17 which is integral with a cylindrical or frustro-conical side wall 18 terminating in an outwardly extending lip 20. The bail member (see Fig. 2) comprises semicircular portion 40 which is joined at its opposite ends to the container by connector means including flexible resilient hinge sections 42 and pin sections 43 extending from the top of the container at 44. The bail member, which is adapted to be hung from supporting member 12, preferably is disposed exteriorly of, and spaced from, as at 41, the side wall of the container in the plane of the top of the container. The side wall of the container (see Fig. 4) extends below the bottom wall to edge 25 to provide a skirt 23 surrounding space 24. Liquid outlet 14 comprises cylindrical wall 27 extending inwardly from the side wall and integral with annular wall 28 extending above and below the bottom wall to provide drain port 29 and recess 30 in which is situated nipple 31 integral with, and extending outwardly from, the annular wall and spaced from the cylindrical wall. The bottom of liquid outlet passageway 33 preferably is flush with the top surface of the bottom wall of the container. The nipple preferably has an external annular rib 35 defining with its base portion 36 an annular groove 37 for frictionally retaining the end portion of a liquid drainage tube 15 made from a flexible plastics material, for example polyvinyl chloride, and preferably provided with a clamp for regulation of the liquid flow therethrough. The container, bail member and liquid outlet are integrally formed, for example by injection moulding, and preferably are formed of a transparent plastics material, for example a propyleneethylene copolymer. The complete liquid administration unit may be enclosed in an outer bag of thin pliable plastics film material. In an embodiment of the invention illustrated in Fig. 7 (not shown), the side wall of the container is provided with an elongated outwardly-opening recess extending from the bottom wall of the container up to and including the lip formed at the top of the container; alternatively, the recess may open inwardly into the container.

The pressing composition optionally in admixture with nuclear fuel particles having a gas-tight and radiation stable coating of, for example, pyrolytic carbon or silicon carbide, fertile material particles or absorber particles for high temperature nuclear reactors can be carbonized and then heattreated. In Examples 1 and 2, graphite pressing compositions are prepared either (1) by adding a solution of phenol, formalin and water to a mixture of natural graphite powder and graphitized petroleum coke powder and heating in the presence of HCl; or (2) by heating a mixture of natural graphite, electro-graphite, phenol and hexamthylenetetramine. The resulting products are dried and ground to a particle size of 0À3 mm. Spherical nuclear fuel elements are then produced by encasing fuel particles with the pressing compositions thus obtained and pressing the thus encased particles and more pressing composition into a mould and then carbonizing followed by heat-treating at 1900C. in vacuo. In Example 3 the pressing composition form Example 2 and (U, Th)O 2  particles, coated with 3 pyrolitic layers with different carbon densities, are mixed together and formed into cylindrical fuel inserts, which are then carbonized and then heat-treated.
