Abstract: 14,372. Parnell, E. B. June 19. Chloridizing; sulphatizing; cyaniding; roasting; dry processes of extracting cobalt, copper, gold, and silver.-A process for treating copper ores, cobalt ores, and complex ores containing gold and silver, consists in roasting the ore to remove volatile metals and convert the copper and cobalt to sulphate, removing the iron and zinc by electric concentrators, extracting the soluble sulphates, and treating the residue for the recovery of precious metals with the aid of a hot blast. When the arsenic has been driven off, the ore is sprayed with dilute sulphuric acid and the temperature raised, and the material, after cooling, is passed over one or two electric concentrators to remove the iron, and the zinc, if present. The charge is then boiled in acidulated water with a hot blast to dissolve the copper sulphate, the copper being afterwards deposited from the solution by electrolysis. The gold and silver are recovered from the residue by cyanide, with the aid of the hot blast, or by cyanide, mercury, and electrolysis, with the aid of the hot blast, or by smelting. In treating zinc-silver ores, after removal of the arsenic, iron, and zinc, the residue is treated with sulphuric acid and salt; and in treating cobalt-silver ores, the cobalt as well as the iron is removed by the electric concentrator.

Title: Improvements in Inhalers for Medical and like Purposes.
IPC: A61M16/10
Filed: 1910-04-20
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 9583. Weller, F. W., and Ash, Sons, & Co., C. April 20. Inhalers.-In an anaesthetic inhaler, the proportion of gas to air or oxygen is regulated by a sliding valve in a union having five radial branches, one of these being fitted with an independent exhaling- valve which can be controlled from outside. The union comprises a gas-inlet a, an air-inlet i, an inhaling-socket e, a limb o, and a socket u carrying the exhaling-valve v. A lining b is formed with ports c, c<1> leading to the limbs e, a respectively, the port c being closed by a flap valve d hinged at the gas side of the apparatus. The sliding valve comprises chambers j, p separated by a partition k sufficiently high to support the valve d. The chamber p is closed by a cap r, and has ports q, q<1> corresponding with the ports c, c<1>. The chamber j has a port j<1> corresponding to the port c, and is open to the air either directly or through a fitting l. As the valve is slid to the right the air port j' registers with the port c more and more, while the gas ports q, q<1> register less and less with the ports c, c<1>, so that the proportion of air is continuously increased. The proportion is indicated roughly bv graduation marks on the chambers j, p. When it is desirable to be able to admit air, oxygen, or both, the fitting l is mounted in the open end of the chamber j. It is provided with a rotatable bush m having air inlet ports m<1>, m<2>, and oxygen ports m<3>, m<4>, the port m<3> being closed by an inlet valve m<6> Fig. 3 shows the bush in the position for admitting oxygen only. The smaller proportions of oxygen or air to gas can be finely adjusted by the rotation of a non-slidable internally-threaded sleeve n adapted to engage a pin j<2> on the valve j, p. Owing to this engagement, the valve j, p cannot then be slid by hand. To prevent the use of the finer adjustment except when the proportion of air or oxygen to gas is small, the sleeve n is prevented from rotation by the entry of a key j<4> on the chamber j into a recess in the milled edge n<2> of the sleeve, and, later, by the entry of the pin j<2> into a longitudinal groove n<3> in the sleeve. The limb u carrying the exhaling-valve v is formed with an opening normally covered by a slidable and rotatable bush w having a port w<1>. By pulling out the bush to the stop u<2> and turning it to the position shown, ethyl chloride or other volatile anµsthetic may be passed to the gas-bag by the passage z and socket a. The exhaling-valve v can be definitely closed by placing the bush in the position shown.

Abstract: 17,010. Rosenberg, E., and Peck, J. S. July 16. Resistances, electrolytic. Relates to the method of braking induction motors in which the motor is disconnected from the mains and the primary winding is supplied with direct current, and consists in automatically varying a resistance in circuit with the secondary winding of the motor by a device which operates in accordance with the speed, secondary frequency, or secondary voltage so as to produce the maximum braking effect for any given speed. In one arrangement, liquid resistances are used in the motor secondary circuit; for example, the slip-rings may be connected to three plates dipping into a rotating drum partly filled with conducting liquid; or, as shown in Fig. 4, the plates 77 may dip into liquid 79 contained in the upper chamber 80 of a tank 81 and kept in circulation by a pump 84. The level of the liquid in the chamber 80 is determined by means of a sluice gate 82 controlled by a solenoid 85 and a spring 87. A series of solenoids may be connected to the lever 83 by pins and slots of different sizes, so that the lever may take up different positions depending on which of the solenoids is energized. The same resistance may be used both for starting and braking the motor; for example, the liquid controller shown in Fig. 4, may be provided with a second manually-operated sluice-gate for starting purposes. According to the Provisional Specification, the braking-resistances may be regulated by hand, a calibrated speed or frequency indicator showing the amount of resistance that should be inserted.
