Title: Method and apparatus for analysing system generated noise signals
Inventor: SMITHERMAN THOMAS LYNN
IPC: G06F7/02
Filed: 1969-08-09
Abstract: 1,254,499. Seismic signal processing. TEXACO DEVELOPMENT CORP. 9 Aug., 1969, 39956/69. Heading H4D. To assess the electrical noise within a system for digitally recording the output of a geophone and comprising in sequence an amplifier, a preamplifier/multiplexer, and A/D converter, a storage register, write amplifiers and a tape recorder, the amplifier input is shorted out so that the register stores a digital word representing system noise only and a programmable decoder is used to detect the presence of selected binary bits in the word. The decoder provides an output to an oscilloscope indicator on detection of the selected bits, i.e. if the noise has a given polarity and its amplitude lies within a selected range. The digital word representing noise may also be compared with a stored digital word representing geophone-output-plusnoise. Details are given of the logic circuitry of the decoder.

Title: A process for the removal of sulphur dioxide from gas mixtures and an acceptor for that purpose
IPC: B01D53/50
Filed: 1964-10-01
Abstract: Sulphur dioxide is removed from gaseous mixtures, e.g. flue gases by means of an acceptor containing one or more basic alkali metal compounds, e.g. sodium or potassium oxide, and iron or an iron compound, e.g. iron oxide, supported on a carrier of e.g. magnesium oxide, aluminium oxide.  The acceptance temperature may be 150 to 400 DEG  C.  Antimony or one or more antimony compounds may be present in the acceptor.  Any gas/solid contacting process may be used, e.g. the moving bed technique. The acceptor may be removed continuously from the system, regenerated at say 600 DEG  to 700 DEG  C. with a reducing gas such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or gas mixtures containing them, or with a hydrocarbon or gas mixtures containing one or more hydrocarbons such as methane, natural gas, and recycled to the system.  The acceptor may be heated to regeneration temperature by a gas mixture obtained by burning the reducing gas with an underdose of air and the regeneration may then occur simultaneously with heating; or the reducing gas or gas mixture may be preheated in the acceptor/sulphur dioxide mixture system.  The acceptor may be prepared by impregnating the carrier with solutions of the components, then drying and/or calcining; or by coprecipitation of the carrier with the components, and drying and/or calcining.

An erector for a gyrovertical comprises an annular guide 3, 4 for at least one movable ball 5, and a revolving platform 8 driven from the gyroscope rotor and provided with at least one roller 10 for driving the ball 5 round the annular guide 3, 4, the ball 5, under normal conditions, being freely movable under the influence of gravity between the roller 10 and a pin 11 depending from the platform 8, the action of the erector being suppressed under conditions of acceleration exceeding a predetermined limit by the provision of a pendular mass 14 on a stem 16 pivoted at 15 below the centre of gravity of the mass 14, the stem having an extension 17 normally extending under the normal path of the ball 5, but which upon movement of the mass 14 about its pivot will be brought to the dotted line position wherein the ball 5 is retained in contact with the driving roller 10. The centre of gravity of the mass 14 in relation to its pivot is arranged such that when the angle between the true and apparent vertical reaches a certain limit e.g. 10‹, the mass 14 will immediately move about its pivot and suppress the action of the ball 5. A balancing ball 6 is provided diametrically opposite the ball 5 and this is driven by a roller 6. This ball is held in constant engagement with its driving roller by a stop (not shown). A stop 18 is also provided to limit movement of the mass 14. The platform 8 is preferably driven by a reduction gear or magnetic drive from the gyroscope rotor.

Abstract: 1,202,928. Toothed gearing. FICHTEL & SACHS A.G. 5 Sept., 1967 [7 Sept., 1966], No. 40425/67. Heading F2Q. In an epicyclic gearing comprising a fixed sunwheel 1 meshing planet gears 2 mounted in a planet carrier 6 secured to a shaft 5 and a rotatably mounted annulus 3 meshing planet gears 2, all the gears are helical and each planet wheel has an equivalent number of teeth Nn #5, where Nn = N/cos<SP>2</SP># b cos# p , N being the number of teeth in the transverse plane, # b  being the helix angle on the base cylinder, and # p  being the helix angle on the pitch circle.

The profile of the planet wheel related to those flanks that participate in load bearing act complementary to the profiles of the sun-wheel and the annulus, and the planet wheel is of a long-addendum type. Axial displacement of the planet gears 2 is prevented by check rings 12 disposed on the ends of the planet carrier. The annulus 3 is fixed within a two-part casing 6, 7 shaped as halves 8, 9 of a V-belt pulley which may serve as an input drive, the shaft 5 serving as an output shaft. Sun-wheel 1 is secured to a fixed shaft 10.

Abstract: 933,312. Building tyres. DUNLOP RUBBER CO. Ltd. Dec. 1, 1959 [Dec. 16, 1958], No. 40474/58. Class 144 (1). A rubberized fabric reinforcement strip 2 for enclosing a bead core and apex or filler strip, is assembled into a tyre carcase being built on a shouldered building drum by first forming the strip 2 into a cylindrical band, then shaping the band into V- or channel-section with the outer surface of one limb contoured to conform with the contour of the drum shoulder, and finally applying the contoured limb of the shaped band to the drum shoulder, or to the turned down carcase plies thereon. The strip 2, which may comprise a number of superimposed layers of different width, may be built up by superimposing the layers in a profiled groove 5 in a board 1 located by pegs 3 on a guide table 4, whereby a cylindrical support 8, carrying an expansible inflatable tube 10 on its periphery, may be rolled over the strip between guide rails 7 to wind the strip around the tube into the desired band form. Alternatively, the layers of the strip may be located in different boards and rolled over successively by the support 8 to build up the band thereon. The support 8 carrying the band 2 is then located within a shaping ring comprising a sleeve 13 having a contoured flange 14 inclined radially thereto so that its outer surface is complementary to that of the building drum shoulder. The tube 10 is then inflated to press the band 2 against the surfaces of the sleeve 13 and flange 14 where it is retained by suction applied to apertures 15 in said surfaces. The support 8 is then removed and the shaping ring has its hub member 18 mounted on the building drum shaft to apply the shaped band to the drum shoulder. This may be effected by a collapsible bellows sealing at its ends respectively against the drum web and the radial disc 17 connecting the shaping ring with the hub 18, a connection 20 in the disc 17 providing for application of a vacuum source to the bellows whereby the shaping ring is drawn against the drum shoulder. Specification 933,311 is referred to.

Abstract: 957,351. Making vices. E. M. TOROSSIAN. Nov. 15, 1961 [April 19, 1961], No. 40896/61. Headings B3A and B3B. [Also in Division F1] A vice comprises a movable jaw 13 having an open frame, a stationary body portion 10 located in the opening and adapted for fixing to a table and one or more slide members 19 extending through the frame and body portion to permit the frame to move freely. The jaw 13 is clamped by rotation of a nut 14 and is released by springs 18. In manufacturing the parts, through-holes a, b, c, d, Fig. 4, are drilled in a block F and also blind holes 20. The inner block 10, Fig. 5, is then removed and the ends cut off at lines L to form the stationary body. The parts are assembled with the rods 19 retained by screwed plugs 22 and a jaw-face 24 is secured by screws 25. A member 29 prevents the ingress of swarf. In an air-hydraulic unit for moving the jaw, air is admitted by a valve 34 to move a piston 32. The movement compresses a spring 43 and moves a second piston 41 to force fluid from a chamber 46 to move a cylinder 35 attached to the jaw 13. A final clamping pressure ensues when a rod 40 in the piston 32 passes into a chamber 45. In a further modification, a cylinder 56, Fig. 9, attached to the jaw 13 is moved by rotation of a threaded piston 68 by a tool applied to a boss 77. At a certain pressure, a ratchet drive 80, 75 slips and a piston 72 is then advanced by the screw 73 to provide a final clamping pressure.
