Title: Improvements in water insoluble defibrillated meat proteins and in processes for preparing such proteins
IPC: A23L27/26
Filed: 1961-04-05
Abstract: A water-insoluble bland protein for nutritional enrichment of foods is prepared by extracting comminuted meat with water and then softening and rupturing the fibrils by treatment with alkali, while avoiding hydrolysis of the protein.  The alkali treatment may be at pH 8-14, at a temperature of 35-300 DEG  F., with aqueous ammonia, with a solution of a complex phosphate or polyphosphate, or with such phosphate solution followed by a solution of sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide or ammonia.  The meat so defibrillated may be preserved, e.g. the wet product may be spray-dried or may be cooked at 212 DEG  F. and frozen.  The bland protein may be incorporated in meat preparations, grain and cereal products, e.g. wheat flour, dairy products, candies and other confectionery, fruit drinks and juices, sauces, soups, gravies, and prepared vegetables, and in infant and geriatric foods; bland protein prepared from beef may be added to pork and bland protein prepared from mutton may be added to beef; the bland protein may be added to fruits, chocolates, spices, protein hydrolysates, yeast hydrolysates, meat flavourings, sugar and other sweetening agents.  Examples are of preparing the bland protein from beef chucks and incorporating the bland protein in ice-cream, crusts for custard pies, apple sauce cake, butterscotch, refrigerator cookies, and chocolate mint coconut balls.

Title: Mechanically-operated alarm and signal devices
IPC: G04B23/06
Filed: 1927-05-10
Abstract: 271,077. Mamet, C. May 12, 1926, [Convention date]. Alarm mechanism. - A number of discs 20, 21 can be moved so that cam surfaces 35 project into the path of rollers 15 carried by a clock-driven chain 3 so that a rivet 17 on the side of the chain opposite to each roller 15 moves a strip 43 whereby an alarm is released. Two chains 3, 3a may be provided, the two movable strips 43, 43<a> being carried by shafts 44, 44<a> connected by a bar 46. Each chain has 24 discs, one for each quarter-hour. A counterweighted arm 49 carried by the shaft 44a has a fork 51 that slides a toothed wheel 55 driven by the clockwork into position to depress a toothed lever 56 that is connected to a lever 57. Movement of the lever 57 releases a striker 66 but movement of the striker is prevented by a pin 70 on a lever 69 connected to the striker arm 64 being engaged by a tooth on a second-clock-driven wheel 71. As the actual time arrives for sounding the alarm, the pin 70 passes up the radial face of the tooth, and the striker 66 engages an arm 78 connected to a lever 80, the upper end of which retains one of a number of pins 73 on a wheel 74 in the alarm mechanism against movement. Movement of the lever 80 thus releases the alarm, and the bells 76 continue to ring until the next pin engages the lever, while the released pin rides down a ramp 72 on the upper end of the lever 69 to reset this lever and cause the striker to re-engage the lever 57. An indicator 84 mounted behind apertures. 83 in the clock face is rotated when the alarm is released, by the arm 78 striking a pin 96 on a lever 92, 93 so that a. lever 88 having a fork 86 engaging a pin 87 on the indicator disc is released and rotated by a spring 90. Resetting of the indicator is effected manually by a push 99 pressing the conical end of its spindle 97 into engagement with the lever 88. The hands of the clock are set to correct time by withdrawing a knob 100 and turning it to engages clutch members 104, 105. At the same time pounding of the alarm is prevented by a conical portion 106 on the knob spindle 'depressing a lever 108 so that a pin 110 on the lever prevents the striking movement of the arm 64. The discs 20, 21 are held between discs 22, 23 connected by a bar 24 passing through notches 25 in. the discs so that by turning the disc 22, all the alarm discs may be restored to inoperative position. A stop 28 limits this movement while a spring encasing either face of a projection 27 holds the discs set. A pin 36 enables each disc to be secured to the shaft 19. Specification 225,537, [Class 118 (ii), Signals], is referred to.

Title: Neutron amplifier
IPC: G21C1/30
Filed: 1958-04-21
Abstract: 850,876. Nuclear reactors. DOW CHEMICAL CO. April 21, 1958 [April 24, 1957], No. 12616/58. Drawings to Specification. Class 39(4). A neutron amplifier having an adjustable output is formed of a series of adjacent convergent nuclear reactor stages, each reactor comprising parallel moderator and fuel zones. A beam of fast neutrons from an external neutron source is moderated to thermal energy and produces fission neutrons in the first reactor. Fast neutrons from the first reactor are passed on to the second reactor stage where the process is repeated to provide an increased number of fission neutrons. The stages are separated by cadmium, boron or lithium layer which, being transparent to fast neutrons and opaque to those of thermal energies, cause the thermal neutron flow to be directed away from the source. The neutron production is amplified between stages by feedback ; in one embodiment thermal neutrons in one stage may be permitted to leak back through adjustable apertures in the cadmium layer to the fuel of the previous stage to effect additional fission, secondly, where liquid fuel is employed, fuel may be pumped back to a preceeding stage where delayed neutrons are emitted which augment the fission neutrons. This method may also be applied to solid fuel. In addition to the feedback, variation of stage gain is effected by control rods of fuel or absorber material.

Title: Improvements in or relating to booster-operated liquid pressure remote control systems
IPC: B60T13/24
Filed: 1942-09-08
Abstract: 559,921. Telemotors. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. Sept. 8, 1942, No. 12658. Convention date, Nov. 28, 1941. [Class 69 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXIV] Relates to fluid-pressure operated brake or other systems such as described in Specifications 550,450 and 557,762, [both in Group XXXIV], in which a hydraulic motor cylinder connected to a brake applying or other cylinder is operated both by a manually operated master cylinder and by a booster, such as a vacuum operated cylinder which is controlled in dependence upon the pressure in the manually operated master cylinder. According to the invention operation of the booster control valve or means is resisted by a member subject to the pressure in the brake applying &c., cylinder and not to the pressure applied by the booster alone as in the prior arrangements. The pressure actually applied to the brakes &c. thus reacts upon the pedal. The apparatus shown comprises as in the prior specifications, a hydraulic master cylinder 15 connected by pipe 17 to a brake cylinder and operated directly by a pedal actuated master cylinder 11 through pipe 16 and also by a vacuum cylinder 20. The chambers on the two sides of the piston of cylinder 20 are connected respectively to the vacuum source by pipes 22, 36 and to a valve device 13 by pipe 21. The valve device 13 comprises vacuum and atmosphere valves 33, 34 connected by a bar 35 acted upon by opposed pistons 27, 28 subject respectively to the pressure in the master cylinder 11 through pipe 14 and to that in the brake cylinder through pipe 24. Valve 33 is normally open so that vacuum normally exists in both chambers of cylinder 20. Operation of the cylinder 11 actuates the brake cylinder through the cylinder 15 and by means of piston 27 and bar 35 closes valve 33 and opens valve 34 to admit air to the chamber of cylinder 20 which thus acts to increase the pressure of the liquid in cylinder 15. When the pressure in the brake cylinder acting on piston 28 is sufficient to overcome that in cylinder 11 acting on piston 27, the valve 34 is closed. The pressure in the brake cylinder 18 may thus be graduated, and this pressure reacts through piston 28 on the pedal 12.

[Class 110 (ii)] [See also Groups XXVIII and XXIX] A submerged rotary vacuum pump 1, driven by an electric motor 2, has a suction pipe 4 open to the atmosphere while the pump is running up to working speed. After a time interval a valve 25 closes the pipe 4 to atmosphere, and simultaneously opens an inlet valve 14 to connect the pipe 4 with a pipe 12 which may lead to a mercury arc rectifier. Current for the motor 2 is supplied through lines 8 controlled by a manually operated switch 11 or control means 7. The valve 14 is secured to a bellows 19 and has a rubber disc 16 which seats on the open end of the pipe 4. A second, or relief valve, has a rubber seating 25 which co-operates with the open end 26 of the valve stem 18. The relief valve may move between stops 28, 29. A hole 32 in the valve stem leads to a hole 33 in the disc 14, and so to the pipe 4. To actuate the valve change-over, a solenoid plunger 35 is coupled by links 36, 37, with the valve stem 18. The solenoid is supplied with current by lines 38 through a switch means 39 which comprises a relay 40, the actuating coil 41 of which is supplied with current through contacts 42 of the switch 11 and through a thermostatic switch 43 having a heater element 44 to close contacts 45 in one of the solenoid leads 38 and simultaneously short-circuit the heater 44 through contacts 46.
