Title: Improvements in or relating to chromium steels
IPC: C22C33/06
Filed: 1933-04-18
Abstract: In the manufacture of corrosion-resistant chromium steels containing titanium, the titanium is introduced in the form of a low carbon iron-chromium - titanium alloy the titanium content of which is more than sufficient to combine with all its carbon content, preferably more than 6 times the carbon content.  Such an alloy is added to a steel bath, which may also contain chromium, with or without nickel, in such proportion as to incorporate therein at least 6 times as much titanium as the total carbon content of the steel.  Other elements such as manganese, copper, and cobalt may be present.  The preliminary alloy may be made by adding either titanium or a mixture of titanium oxide and reducing agent to molten low-carbon ferrochromium, or by reducing a mixture of a chromium ore and a titanium ore or a titaniferous iron ore.

Abstract: 1464346 Training apparatus for cyclists J E MANUEL 20 March 1975 [22 March 19741 11788/75 Heading A6M A course hazard for cycling events which signals its correct negotiation has a base carrying a signal and means for moving it to a signalling position and two or more treadles which operate the signal to its signalling position when negotiated in a certain sequence; three embodiments are described. In the embodiment of Fig. 1 a flag member 2, pivotally mounted on a shaft 3 and urged by a torsion spring 21 into a raised signalling position is retained within a base 1 by two latches 5, 7 on the ends of journalled treadle rods 4, 6 and released only if both latches are released. When the latches 5, 7 are engaged with the flag 2 the treadle portions 39, 44 are inclined at e.g. 30 to the ground. Serrations 33, 37 on the undersides of the latches 5, 7 engage similar serrations (28, 29 Fig. 2, not shown) on the upper ends 24, 26 of the flag 2. In a second embodiment, Fig. 4, a flag 52 is similarly mounted in a base 51 having treadle rods 54, 56 carrying serrated latches (55 Fig. 8, not shown), 57, a disabling device 69 being pivotted on the same shaft 53 as the flag 52. The latch (55) operating through a hole (96 Fig. 8, not shown) in the disabling member 69 and the latch 57 hold the disabling member and the flag 52 within the base 51 with the treadles 89, 94 inclined at e.g. 30 to the ground. A torsion spring 71 urges the flag 52 and the disabling device 69 together so that the flag can be raised to its upright signalling position only if the disabling member is retained within the base 51 by the latch (55). With the flag 52 and the disabling device 69 retained within the base 51 the treadle 89 is higher above the ground than the treadle 94. A third embodiment, Fig. 9, incorporates the features of the previous two so that a flag 152 is only raised to an upright signalling position provided a disabling member 169 remains engaged by a latch 155 and two other latches 157, 257 release the flag member.

Title: Process and apparatus for refining glyceride oils
Inventor: EICHLER FRIEDRICH
IPC: B01D11/04
Filed: 1964-03-20
Abstract: Liquid phase processes for refining glyceride oils by treating the oil in liquid condition with an aqueous liquid treating agent under conditions providing numerous interfaces between the two liquids at which the contaminants are extracted from the oil by the aqueous liquid at said interfaces and removed in solution, are characterized in that the oil and aqueous liquid are separately preheated and the treatment is effected continuously at a temperature of 75-160 DEG  C. under a pressure above the saturated vapour pressure of water at the temperature of treatment, in a bed of chemically inert packing material of uniform depth and having a free space amounting to 30-90% of its volume, by causing each of said liquids, while free from occluded or dissolved gases or floating impurities to make random contacts with the other while flowing along tortuous paths through said bed, and subsequently separating the oil and aqueous liquids by virtue of their different specific gravities, substantially all the extraction effected occurring during passage through the bed.  This procedure is applicable to neutralisation with aqueous alkali; washing soap from the oil after neutralization, using neutral or slightly alkaline water which may contain salt; and post-desliming using, for example, aqueous alkaline sodium silicate.  More than one of such processes may be carried out, e.g. a washing stage may follow immediately after a neutralization stage, both stages using the stated procedure.  The oil and treating agent may flow in either counter-current or co-current through the bed, and apparatus for performing the operation either way is described.  The packing material may be glass, glazed ceramic, stainless steel, or an inert polymer, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or polystyrene  and may be in the form of beads, rings, or saddles. Also, the material may have a surface which has been made lipophilic.  The procedure is also applicable to the treatment of oils in the form of a miscella.  Many oils which may be treated are specified.
