Title: Improvements in or relating to synthetic moisturizing materials
IPC: A61Q17/04
Filed: 1962-03-08
Abstract: Amadori or Heyns compounds are prepared by condensing an a -amino acid with a reducing monosaccharide or oligo saccharide to form an N-glycoside which is then rearranged by the addition of a proton donor.  (Amadori compounds are described in "Name Index of Organic Reactions," J. E. Gowan & T. S. Wheeler, Longmans, Green & Co. Ltd., 1960, and Heyns compounds are described in Chemische Berichte, 1953, 86, 1453).  Mixtures of the amino acids and mixtures of the sugars may be used in the preparations.  The amino acids are preferably used in the form of alkali metal salts. In Examples, monosodium L-glutamate is reacted with D-glucose, and mono-sodium L-aspartate is reacted with D-ribose by heating in aqueous solution; in both cases the free carboxylic acid group of the amino acid salt serves as the proton donor for the rearrangement of the N-glycoside formed.  The rearranged products are used in moisturizing compositions for pharmaceutical products (see Division A5).ALSO:Synthetic moisturizing compositions for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products comprise a mixture of (a) and Amadori or Heyns compound formed by rearranging, by the addition of a proton donor, the N-glycoside formed in the condensation of an a -amino acid (several specified) with a reducing monosaccharide or oligosaccharide (several specified) and (b) from 0.1 to 90% by weight of the mixture of aspartic acid.  The mixture preferably also contains urea in a proportion of from 0.1 to 90% by weight of the mixture.  The composition preferably has a pH between 3 and 9. Other substances which may be included in the compositions are amino acids such as glycine, threonine, alanine, tyrosine, valine, leucine, phenylalanine, proline, critrulline, ortithine, histidine, lysine, arginine, glutamic acid and serine; pyrrolidoncarbonic acid; ammonia; uric acid; ribose; glucosamine; creatinine; salts such as sodium lactate, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride and magnesium hydrogen phosphate.  The moisturizing compositions may be incorporated into products such as after-shave lotions, lipsticks, ointments, bath oils and sun tan lotions.

Title: Flashlight lamp, particularly for photographic purposes
IPC: F21K5/08
Filed: 1939-03-27
Abstract: 526,961. Flash-light lamps. SCHWARZE, P. March 27, 1939, No. 9451 [Class 9 (ii)] Relates to a flash-light lamp, particularly for photographic purposes, in which light is produced by the reaction of suitable substances enclosed in a gas-tight vessel which consists of at least two parts. According to the invention, the parts are connected with one another with the insertion of an elastic inset therebetween .in such a manner that a yielding in the sense of an enlargement of the combustion space is made possible. As shown in Fig. 1, the vessel 1 consists of a box closed in gas-tight manner by a window 2 with the aid of a rubber ring 6, the parts being held together by means of threaded rings 4, 5. A flexible intermediate layer 7 of rubber, leather or the like permits of a slight yielding in the sense of an enlargement of the combustion space and of a separation of the window from the vessel. If desired, this intermediate layer may be in the form of a spiral spring. The layer, instead of being arranged as shown could be arranged above the window, between the latter and an inwardly bent upper extension of the box, in which case it could be made in one piece with the packing 6. The box is divided internally by a flexible partition 13, the light-giving substances, e.g. metal foils, being arranged in the upper half of the box whilst both chambers are filled with a gas, such as oxygen. In operation, the reaction first occurs in the upper chamber, the partition 13 being forced downwardly and driving the gas in the lower chamber through fine openings connecting the two chambers upwardly where it is used to complete the reaction. A flat metal electrode 9, mounted as shown with a thin insulating layer 8 on the wall of the vessel, is connected by a wire 10 to the igniting wire 11, which is connected at its other end with the vessel itself. A recess 14 containing a small opening is provided in one wall of the vessel so as to enable the lamp to be evacuated and filled with gas, the opening being adapted to be closed by dropping solder or vacuum cement into the recess. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the container consists of a glass tube 15 sealed by a metal lid 17 with the interposition of the packing 6 and elastic inset 7.

The axes A, B may be inclined to each other in two directions so that they do not lie in parallel planes, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5, and the finishing operation may be performed on an externally toothed gear G, Fig. 2, or an internally toothed gear G<1>, Fig. 5. The larger diameter of the tool is arranged adjacent the shoulder on the work and the teeth t are helical so as to have an axial shaving action on the work on the " crossed axis " principle. The work may have straight teeth as shown or helical teeth, in which case the helical angle of the teeth on the tool may be varied to correspond, and axial reciprocation is imparted to the tool or work to distribute the cutting effect. Alternatively, the tool teeth may be bowed longitudinally as described in Specification 466,330, the curvature being concave for cutting external gears and convex for internal gears, and no axial reciprocation being required in this case unless the work teeth are longer than the cutter teeth. In another form, the inclined axis A of the tool may lie in the same plane as the axis B, Fig. 7, of the work, the teeth t<1> then being straight or helical according to whether the work teeth are straight or helical and a rapid reciprocation in the direction of the work axis then being given to the tool or work. The internal teeth S <1> may also be finished by a tapered tool similar to the tool T<1> rotating on an inclined axis in the same plane as the axis B. A machine for carrying out the process comprises a head 11, Fig. 1, provided with a rotary spindle for supporting the work G and movable on horizontal guides 12 parallel to the spindle.
