Abstract: 245,145. Naamlooze Vennootschap Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken. Dec. 24, 1924, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Vacuum tubes; R÷ntgen-ray tubes.-A coating of alkaline earth metal oxide is formed on a cathode by oxidizing wholly or partly the surface of a core of base metal, coating the oxidized surface with an azide of one or more alkaline earth metals, heating to decompose the azide, and heating subsequently in an atmosphere containing oxygen to oxidize the reduced metal wholly or partly. In the preferred process a solution of barium azide or a mixture of azides is trickled or squirted on to a nickel wire which is heated electrically to dry the azide. The prepared wire is mounted in a bulb which is then exhausted, and the wire heated electrically at 180-250‹ C. to decompose the azide. Oxygen or air is admitted and the temperature of the wire raised to 500‹ C. to oxidize the layer of metal, and the bulb is evacuated; a gas filling may be admitted subsequently. The cathode may be aged by gradually heating it to a high temperature and maintaining it at that temperature. In a modified process the wire is dipped in a solution of azide. Specifications 209,730, 214,262, and 229,622 are referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of a core of nickel.

A flexible, resilient, open-celled material is reversibly compressed at ambient temperature to maximum crushing and is maintained in this condition until the diminution in bearing capacity is reduced to less than 20%. The bearing capacity is measured on a test-piece which has been compressed 250,000 times in 24 hrs. with a reduction in height of 90%. The bearing capacity is the load required to reduce the height of the test-piece by a standard amount. The compression time of the process is preferably 18-24 hrs. and is performed before or after shaping the material, which may be polyurethane. The material or article may, before compression, be disposed in a flexible fluid-tight wrapping which, after compression, is hermetically sealed. As air cannot penetrate and fill the cells, the material or article remains in crushed form.

Abstract: 521,837. Colour photography. SCHINZEL, K., and SCHINZEL, L. Oct. 22, 1938, No. 32576/39. Convention date, Oct. 22, 1937, Divided out of 521,746. [Class 98 (ii)] A three-colour photograph is produced in an exposed and developed material having on a single support three differentially colour sensitized silver halide emulsions at least one of which contains a dye or organic compound which on oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis gives a dye by a process which includes the steps of diffusely forming in the emulsions a water-insoluble reducing agent and then treating the material with weak alkali to cause the reducing agent so formed to be locally oxidized 'by the residual silver halide. The reducing agent may be locally oxidized by treatment with weak alkali, and the regenerated dye reduced by the reducing agent remaining in the areas free from silver halide and removed bv treatment with stronger alkali, or in a modification may be locally oxidized to an oxidizing agent by treatment with weak alkali and the oxidizing agent caused to oxidize the dye, leuco dye, or organic derivative of the dye in the areas where residual silver halide was present by treatment with acid. The latent images are developed with a neutral developer. The insoluble reducing agents ferrous, manganous, titanous, or stannous ferrocyanide may be formed in the emulsion by double decomposition, and reduce residual silver chloride or bromide after exposure or treatment with thiourea or similar fogging agents. Treatment with sodium hydroxide or carbonate, optionally in the absence of oxygen and in presence of accelerating agents such as Induline Scarlet, hydroquinone, Safranine or anthraquinone dyes and their sulphonic and carboxylic acids reduces the dyes in the areas of the silver image. The reduced silver and metal hydroxide are removed by Farmer's reducer or acid oxidizing baths. Insoluble salts of hydrosulphite or condensation products of hydrosulphurous acid with ketones or aldehydes may be diffusely precipitated in the emulsion. Manganous or ferrous phosphates may also be used. In the modification ferric or manganic hydroxide is formed in the areas where silver is present and used for the oxidation of leuco derivatives after acidification in the absence of oxygen. The silver may first be converted to silver ferrocyanide..The photographic material and dyes are identical with or similar to those described in Specification 521,888. Specifications 500,826, 503,752, 512,559, and 520,173 also are referred to.
