Granted: 1914-05-21
Abstract: 11,876. Elsner, J. May 21. Slag cements; cements, Portland.-Relates to the manufacture of Portland cement by heating the residue resulting from the burning of household and street refuse, sewage sludge, &c. to a temperature of 600-1050‹ C. with enriching substances such as lime, clay, or silicates and also contact salts such as alkali chlorides, salts of aluminium and magnesium, calcium chloride, and the like, which bring about a reaction in the heated mixture without sintering or melting. The additions may be mixed either with the residue after burning, or with the refuse itself, but in each case heating subsequent to the addition is necessary. A residue consisting of 52 per cent of silica, 12 per cent of alumina, 11 per cent of ferric oxide, 16 per cent of calcium oxide, 1-5 per cent of magnesium oxide, 2 per cent of sulphur and phosphorus, and 5À5 per cent of alkali chloride, is treated with 139 per cent of sulphur and phosphorus lime and a suitable quantity of contact salts. and heated for a short time to 600-1050‹ C. If silicates have to be decomposed, the heating is preferably done in an atmosphere of air and steam. In the burning of sewage sludge, the additions may be made before the gas extraction process. In ferruginous residues, the iron may be removed by chemical or mechanical means, or the percentage may be diminished by the addition of lime, clay, silicic acid, or blast furnace slag before or after burning.

Title: Improvements in Colour Photographs and in the Process for their Production.
Inventor: WALKER ARTHUR HENRY
IPC: G03C7/25
Filed: 1913-07-09
Granted: 1914-07-09
Abstract: 15,823. Walker, A. H., [Hess-Ives Co.]. July 9. Colour photography.-Relates to the production of a colour photograph from a set of colour selection negatives by combining the respective positive images of different colours upon a single print or backing, one or more of the colour images having been produced by the selective absorption of dye into a carrier and transferred to the print by imbibition. According to the present invention, the dyed carriers and the print are registered before imbibition can take place, in order to ensure accuracy of transfer and clearness of picture. Colourless positive reliefs are first obtained by printing on to bichromated gelatine, and the relief may be kept low by including in the gelatine some silver bromide and a non-actinic dye, both of which retard the penetration of light. In dyeing the positive images, a restraining-agent such as a neutral salt of citrate of potash is used to control the amount of dye taken up by the gelatine relief. A strong dye solution is used, acidulated with acetic or citric acid. Alizarin or other specified colours are used. If basic dyes are employed, other restraining or controlling agents may be required. The gelatine reliefs may be dyed more deeply than required and then treated in a supplementary bath of dilute acetic acid to reduce the colour depth to the standard required. The print base may be coated with gelatine which has been hardened and mordanted. The mordant used may be one that will convert the dye into an insoluble colour. The dyes used should not have any particular affinity for gelatine. When alizarin dyes are used, a hardened gelatine-coated print base may be mordanted after printing with a solution of hypo and common alum, and the solution gradually heated up while the paper is soaking in it until it throws down a copious precipitate. The print is washed and dried. Imbibition itself may be assisted by the presence of a solutionassisting salt such as citrate of potash in the coating on the print base. The various methods for effecting the registration of the dyed carrier prior to any imbibition are as follows. The print base 15, Fig. 6, may be pervious and registered with the dyed carrier 12 while dry, the water of imbibition being supplied by a wet backing 19 carried on an arched spring 24 under pressure. The dyed carrier may alternatively be separated from the print base during registration. The separator may be an impervious separator or a liquid layer such as acidulated water. Alternatively again registration may be secured by means of fixed gauges 31, 32, Fig. 10, with which the dyed carriers 11 are successively engaged and thereby registered with the print 14, having been first previously trimmed or perforated accordingly.

Nailing and stapling, hand-tools for; stapling and discontinuous wirestitching.-In stapling- apparatus using staples connected together in strip form, the leading staple is prevented from turning over during the operation of shearing it from the strip by rigid stops engaging the legs of the staple. In one form, the rigid abutting faces q form part of a U-shaped plate inserted in vertical grooves in the main frame and locked in position by the end of the anvil k. The upper edges of the plate furnish inclines up which the staple legs slide during feeding so that they snap into engagement with the face q when in position for driving. The stops may be in one piece with the anvil k. In another form, studs q are fitted into the side frames of the apparatus. These are shown as formed from steel wire of square section and set at an angle so that the face t forms the incline and a surface u, formed on the wire, provides the abutment, but the exact section of the studs is unimportant so long as the faces t, u are present.

Abstract: 11,715. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Boot, J. May 12. Electrical systems, automatic.-In order to obviate the effects of stray currents or leakage currents between the track rails in alternating- current signalling systems, the track relay consists of two windings which are arranged to be in series as regards the source of the signalling- current, but in parallel as regards the track rails. From an alternating-current generator a, current flows through the rail d<1>, relay winding b<2>, rail d<2>, and relay winding b<1> back to the generator a. The relay is so arranged that the control or signal circuit is closed when current flows through the two windings in series, but not otherwise. When a train enters the insulated section, the wheels and axles shortcircuit the coil b<2>, and the relay falls to the inoperative position. Any current diverted from the coil b<2> by leakage through the ballast &c. causes a compensating increase of current in the coil b'. Stray currents passing through the two coils in parallel tend to open the signal control circuits. The relay may consist of an induction motor having two pairs of field poles in quadrature.
