Title: Improvements in or relating to the extraction of fat and water from bones
IPC: C11B1/10
Filed: 1942-02-10
Abstract: 555.299. Extracting fats from bones. BILUMENTHAL, R. G., and INTERNATIONAL ESTATE CO.. Ltd. Feb. 10, 1942, No. 1756. [Class 91] Fat together with water are extracted from bones by extraction with a low boiling, fat and water solvent, such as acetone or ethyl alcohol. A fat solvent easily miscible with water may be used. The extraction may be effected in an extractor provided with a false bottom on which the bones are supported and filled up to the false bottom with acetone of boiling point about 56‹C. The solvent is heated and the vapour rises and mingles with the bones to condense thereupon. The acetone-water-fat mixture resulting, flows to the base of the extractor from which it is periodically removed and replaced by fresh acetone. The acetone is recovered from the mixture by distillation using a fractionating column, the fat and water being left in the still from which the fat can easily be recovered. The extractor may be provided with a reflux condenser to return uncondensed vapour. In view of the low temperature employed, the glue producing substances are fully preserved and the bones may be used to manufacture gelatine.

Abstract: 764,440. Television transmission systems. SIEMENS & HALSKE AKT.-GES. Jan. 20, 1955 [Jan. 20, 1954], No. 1818/55. Class 40 (4). In a long distance line transmission system for television signals (e.g. between studio and transmitter) transmission throughout the whole length (including feeders connecting both ends to the long distance transmission line) is by way of single-side band plus vestigial side band, the main side band being displaced upwards by a fraction of the band-width to provide accommodation for the vestigial band. As shown in line 1, Fig. 1, the 0-5 Mc. video band is caused to modulate a 14 Mc. carrier and the lower side band plus a vestige of the upper side band selected as shown in line 2. Modulation using a carrier of 15.056 Mc. is then effected the lower side band having a range of 0-6.056 Mc. being selected for transmission as shown in line 3. The carrier is thus transmitted at 1.056 Mc. Systems are stated to be known in which the above type of transmission is used on long transmission lines but in which feeders between the ends thereof and studio or transmitter carry either the video signal or double side band signals about a high-frequency carrier.

Abstract: 1,080,831. Reactor control rods. SOCIETE ANGLO-BELGE VULCAIN S.A. Dec. 14, 1964 [Jan. 17, 1964], No. 2264/64. Heading G6C. A control rod and drive mechanism includes a fluid-operated piston and cylinder to drive the absorber element; a stationary piston is mounted on a stationary hollow piston-rod, the working fluid being supplied to the movable cylinder through the piston-red; a pilot ;piston is movably mounted in the piston-rod and, under the action of working fluid pressure, closes a relief valve to which it is linked, the relief valve being -located in the fixed piston, and biased to an open position. The control rod is for use in a pressurized water reactor and uses water as its operating fluid; it may be used for both normal control and emergency shutdown. The movable cylinder 12 is attached to the coaxial absorbing tube 11 which is stainless steel sheathed boron. A spring 13 always acts in opposition to the fluid pressure to urge the control element downwards. The drawing shows the mechanism in a withdrawn position. Fluid pressure applied -to the pilot piston 25 forces it open against the action of spring 27 and at the same time shuts the relief valve 21. The neutron absorbing element is returned by cutting off the fluid pressure supply, fluid in the cylinder being exhausted through the -thus opened valve aperture 22 between the arms 23 in the fixed piston 17. The embodiment described may be modified by using the neutron absorbing member directly as the movable cylinder, and provision can be made for maintaining the absorbing member in steady intermediate positions.

Upholstery, mats and the like formed of fleecy material such as palm or coconut fibre or hair, with or without a foundation of fabric such as jute, are produced by projecting an elongated hooked needle 6 through the material and retracting it, at longitudinally spaced points in succession, rotating the needle through an angular range of up to 180 degrees in each of its upward and downward movements so that it forms a twisted loop I from the strand seized by the needle hook, imparting feeding movement to the material, and passing each successive loop through a preceding loop to form a chain on the face of the material. Fig. 7 shows successive positions of the needle from right to left, with corresponding forms of the loop, the material being fed towards the right between positions 3 and 4, and 3a and 4a. In a machine for performing this operation, a number of needles are fixed in members 4 rotatably mounted, preferably in roller bearings, on a horizontal bar 3 which is reciprocated in a vertical plane. In the form shown, the members 4 have spiral grooves 8 which co-act with a fixed rack 9 to cause them to rotate, with the needles, as they move up and down; in modifications, the members 4 may be formed with helical cam slots engaging fixed pins, or the rack 9 may be replaced by worm wheels, or in a further form the members 4 may be provided with sprocket wheels to be rotated by a single chain engaging all of them, the chain preferably passing alternately on opposite sides of the wheels so that adjacent needles are rotated in opposite directions.
