Patent GB-191127512-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Detector or Alarm Apparatus for Safes and the like.
Inventor: BRIDGER THEO EUSTACE
IPC: G08B13/20
Filed: 1911-05-01
Granted: 1912-05-01
Abstract: 27,512. Bridger, T. E. May 1. Burglar and like alarms.-An alarm device for slot meters, safes, jewel boxes, pictures, &c. comprises a casing a having an exhausted jacket a<2> with a frangible tube d<12> which projects through circumferential slots d<13>, Fig. 6, in three coaxial sleeves d<14> in such a way that when the door a<10> of the chamber a<x> of the slot-meter is opened outwards, carrying with it the sleeves d<13>, the tube d<12> is broken by the sleeves unless these have previously been set by means of a code key. When the vacuum in the jacket a<2> is thus destroyed, the wall c<16> moves inwards under the pressure of a spring c<17>, carrying with it the member c<15>, which releases a spring-controlled trigger c<14> and so operates a cartridge alarm through a detonator and fuse. In order to prevent disconnexion of the meter from the gas-supply pipe c<19>, a tube c<18>, Figs. 1 and 10, connected to the exhausted jacket is coiled round and secured to the pipe above the point of union f<11> so that it cannot be detached without destroying the vacuum Specification 22,602/10 is referred to.
Patent GB-191128725-A (GB)
Title: Improved Methods for the Determination and Transmission of the Direction of the Earth's Magnetic Field.
Inventor: BURSTYN WALTHER
IPC: G01C17/00
Filed: 1911-12-20
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 28,725. Burstyn, W. Dec. 21, 1910, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Magnetic compasses.-The N.-S. direction of the earth's magnetic field is indicated by the strength of the currents required to restore magnetic needles n1, n2, arranged at right-angles to one another, to their mid-positions between contact points p1, q1, p2, q2. Both currents can be sent round the needle of an astatic galvanometer when the needle will point in the N.-S. direction. Earth inductors can be used instead of magnetic needles and, as shown in Fig. 4, relays r1, r2 are operated from the inductors a1, a2, these relays being restored to their midpositions by adjusting the electro motive forces across the resistances z1, z2 by means of contacts w1, w2 moving along the common rheostat w. In this case the galvanometers g1, g2 give the readings of the currents required.

Planing.-A stop-motion for use on planing or like machines is adapted to be connected to either the vertical or cross feed, and when once adjusted, will not be affected by any subsequent readjustment of the tool. A reciprocating rack 15 mounted on the standard of the machine is adapted to gear with a pinion 16 on a rotatable shaft 17 slidably mounted in a bearing carried by the vertically fed cross rail 11, this shaft having at its other end a pinion 18 in gear with a pinion 19 loosely mounted on a shaft 13 and carrying on its hub 27 two pawls 25. These pawls are adapted to engage ratchet-wheels 23, 24 secured to the shaft 13 and a loose sleeve 20 respectively, this sleeve having at its other end a pinion 21 in gear with a pinion 22 on a shaft 14 mounted above the shaft 13. The cross feed is obtained from the shaft 13, and the vertical feed from the shaft 14. A bracket 37 on the cross-rail 11, Fig. 4, carries a crown-toothed gear-wheel 39 in gear with a pinion 36 on a small shaft 35 rotated through worm gearing from a shaft 31, this shaft being slidably mounted in a bracket 32 and carrying a gear-wheel 30 at its forward end. This gear-wheel is adapted to be engaged with either of the wheels 28. 29, mounted on the feed shaft 13 and the loose sleeve 20 respectively, a spring pin entering grooves in the shaft 31 to maintain these engagements. A cam 43 on the wheel 39 is adapted after a sufficient feed has been given to actuate a bell-crank lever 40 to lift a bar 41, whereupon the shaft 17 is slid along by a spring-pressed pin to carry the wheel 16 out of engagement with the rack to stop the feed. To regulate the amount of feed, the wheel 39 can be pushed out of engagement with the pinion 36 and rotated to adjust the position of the cam 43, a spring 47 ensuring re-engagement.

IPC: A61K39/02
Filed: 1913-10-04
Granted: 1914-10-05
Abstract: 22,395. Warden, C. C. Oct 4. Toxines, antitoxines, and like bacterial products.-Stable suspensions or vaccines are prepared by suspending autolytic bacteria, such as gonococcus, pneumococcus, meningococcus, or staphylococcus albus urethrµ, in non-cultural media which arrest, but do not destroy, the enzymatic activity of the bacteria, and hence prevent autolysis; suitable media are acids, particularly dilute hydrochloric acid, and also dilute formaldehyde solution. In the production of a serum for the treatment of gonorrhoea, pure cultures of gonococcus and of staphylococcus albus urethrµ (the bacterium of gonorrhoeal pus) are grown separately or together upon a body-fluid medium, such as ascitic or hydrocele agar or broth, and the cultures are suspended in a medium of the kind described above, preferably dilute hydrochloric acid; an animal is repeatedly injected with these suspensions, and a serum is prepared from its blood in the usual way. The patient is injected with the serum and also with the hydrochloric acid suspension of streptococcus albus urethrae, and, if desired, with the suspension of gonococcus in addition. In the production of the serum described above, gonococcus may be replaced by meningococcus.
