Patent GB-190502944-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Rectifiers for Alternating Electric Currents.
Inventor: FARIA OSWALDO DE
Filed: 1905-02-13
Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 2944. Faria, O. de. Feb.'20, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Converting alternating and direct currents.-An electrolytic rectifier, as applied to monophase currents, consists of four insulating cylindrical troughs a<1> to a<4>, containing circular electrodes b of extremely porous carbon, which extend a centimetre above the liquid in each trough. An electrode d, of an alloy of 94 per cent of aluminium, 3 per cent of copper, and 3 per cent of zinc, passes up through a rubber plug c in the bottom of each trough. The electrodes are cross-connected as shown in Fig. 1. The troughs are charged with commercial sodium phosphate dissolved in water at 90‹ C. and allowed to cool. The current from the alternating-current mains s is then allowed to enter, without utilizing the rectified current, and chemically-pure sodium phosphate is thus obtained. Or potassium phosphate may be used, with the addition, of other phosphates, oxides, or dioxides. For medical purposes, or for charging small accumulators, weaker solutions are used. For currents at more than 220 volts, ebonite troughs are used, immersed in a bath of paraffin in an insulating-box. For polypbase currents, three wires from the extremities of a star winding of a static transformer are connected to the metallic electrodes of separate rectifiers, and a fourth lead from the centre of the star contains the translating-circuit and is connected to the carbon electrodes in multiple arc.

Abstract: 23,034. Kalle, W., and Kalle, W. F. Nov. 28, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dyes, artificial.-Azo dyes are produced by diazotizing o-amidonaphthol sulphonic acids and combining with dye components. The diazotization is effected by nitrites in the presence of oxide, hydroxide, or salts of zinc The zinc salts obtained are combined with components such as resorcinol, a dioxynaphthalene, a naphthol, or a naphthol sulphonic acid. The zinc lakes formed are decomposed by treatment with acids. In examples, diazo compounds and dyes are prepared from 1 : 2-amidonaphthol-4-monosulphonic acid or -4 : 6-, and -3 : 6-disulphonic acid, the diazo compounds being combined with #-naphthol or 2 :7-naphthol sulphonic acid. The dyes dye wool directly in an acid bath blue-red and red-violet shades turned by chroming into dark blue, pure blue-black, and pure black shades fast to potting, and by treatment with copper compounds into red-violet shades.

Title: Improvements in the Regulating if Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: BURT PETER
Filed: 1906-06-14
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 13,652. Burt, P. June 14. Gas and like engines.-The speed and power of an internal-combustion engine are controlled by admitting a variable charge of air or inert gas, e.g. combustion products, during the earlier part of the suction stroke through a valve C opening into the inlet port A and timed to open and close earlier than the admission valve B. The quantity of air or inert gas thus admitted is determined by the throttle valve E controlled by hand or by a govenor. The setting of the valve C is regulated according to the kind of fuel used. When the valves B, C are open together gases are drawn into the cylinder from the pipe F more easily than from the fueladmission pipe G. After the valve C is closed, the explosive mixture is drawn in during the remainder of the suction stroke. The charge is thus stratified. The igniter H is placed close to the admission valve to prevent failure of ignition. In multi-cylinder engines, one throttle valve E controls the supply of air or inert gas to all the supplementary valves C.

The flour is then added to the mash, so that the resulting temperature is 75‹ C. The flour may be added in a dry state or mixed with cold water. The hulls, after mashing and separation of the wort, may be boiled with the grist mash.
