Patent GB-342354-A (GB)
Title: Electric distant controlling system
Filed: 1929-11-02
Abstract: 342,354. Controlling locomotives from a distance. HARLEY, S. J., Bramhall, Styvechale Avenue, Coventry. Nov. 2, 1929, No. 33353. [Class 79 (v).] The regulator or reverser of a railway locomotive is operated by a driver situated in a remote coach through the medium of an electric motor g controlled on the " Wheatstone bridge " principle. The remote control handle n operating the contact a is arranged as a " dead-man's handle " so as to connect the bridge-wire d to the " off " end i of the bridge when the handle is released. In this position it may also control the braking system. Should the motor fail to follow the movements of the contact a, a relay l in the bridge-wire closes the circuit of an alarm indicator m, so that the stoker may disconnect the motor g and resort to hand operation of the regulator &c.
Patent GB-628605-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to processes of reducing the shrinkage of woollen and worsted fabrics and yarns, and the improved woollen and worsted fabrics resulting therefrom
IPC: D06M15/423
Filed: 1946-11-11
Abstract: The tendency of fabrics consisting wholly or partly of wool to shrink is reduced by impregnating the fabric with 8 to 16 per cent of a water-soluble melamine-aldehyde condensation product or an alkyl ether thereof, curing the condensation product and subsequently moistening the treated fabric and removing the residual stretch produced during manufacture by steaming and allowing it to relax or by a heating and mechanically compressing operation.  The condensation product, e.g. tetramethylol melamine, is applied to the fabric as an aqueous solution by spraying, dipping or padding and to the solution a curing catalyst or accelerator such as diammonium hydrogen phosphate, urea oxalate, diammonium phthalate, ammonium chloride, zinc chloride and ethyl ammonium phosphate may be added. The pH of the solution is preferably adjusted to 7 or slightly higher.  Resins such as urea-aldehyde and polystyrene may be used in combination with the melamine-aldehyde condensation product.

Title: Device for providing three dimensional effect in television or other pictures
IPC: G02B27/22
Filed: 1958-10-21
Abstract: 850,062. Optical apparatus. THOMPSON, J. C. Dec. 15, 1958 [Oct. 21, 1958], No. 33502/58. Class 97(1) A device for providing an apparent three dimentional effect in television or other pictures comprises a narrow membered rectangular frame c bordering the object to be viewed, and a number of superimposed thin rectangular transparent sheets bound as a single unit b by sealing around the edges and attached to the frame by fixing the two shorter sides of the unit to the two larger sides of the frame, so that the unit bulges outwardly from the picture or viewing aperture. A second such unit a, being longer and narrower than the first, may be attached to the shorter side of the frame, so that it bulges outwardly over and across the first unit. In a modification, the two units are replaced in the frame by a number of sheets moulded to a shallow bowl shape. Alternatively the transparent sheets in the frame are moulded with a series of corrugations across their widths. In a further embodiment, the frame may contain a combination of all three forms of sheet. Curved pieces of material may also be mounted in spectacle frames to produce an apparent stereoscopic effect in pictures.
Patent GB-431260-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the manufacture of steel
IPC: C21C5/28
Filed: 1933-11-30
Abstract: Steel is manufactured from pig iron containing silicon up to 1 per cent and phosphorus of about 0,1-1,75 per cent in basic converter without increasing the phosphorus content of the pig iron by using a preheated blast in the converter.  If the silicon content is higher than 1 per cent namely up to 2 per cent, cold blast is used until the silicon content is reduced to 1 per cent or lower and then the preheated blast is used.  The temperature of the blast used varies from 200-900 DEG  C., according to the amount of phosphorus and silicon present in the pig iron and the blast may be heated in any known manner, its temperature being regulated, if desired, in any suitable manner, e.g. by the addition of cold air thereto.  The tuy<\>geres of the converter are made of fireclay having an alumina content of 40 per cent.

Title: Improvements in the production of alpha-chloracrylic acid esters
IPC: C07C69/653
Filed: 1956-11-05
Abstract: Alpha-chloroacrylic acid esters are prepared by reacting acrylic acid esters and chlorine in the gas phase in the presence of metal (other than alkali-metal) salts, preferably in the presence of from 0.1 to 3.0 per cent, based on the weight of the ester, of N-substituted acid amides or primary, secondary, or tertiary amines.  Suitable salts are the chlorides, bromides, iodides, silicates, acetates and phosphates of copper, calcium, strontium, barium, zinc, iron, nickel and cobalt, or the salts may be formed in situ, e.g. from a metal oxide and P2O5. The catalysts may be used as such or supported on conventional carriers.  Suitable additives include N-methyl-, N : N-dimethyl-, N-ethyl-, N : N-diethyl-, N-butyl- and N : N-dibutyl formamides, N-methylacetamide, pyrrolidone-2, N-methyl-pyrrolidone-2 and lower aliphatic primary, secondary and tertiary amines.  Favourable reaction temperatures lie between 150 DEG  and 500 DEG  C., and normal, increased or reduced pressure may be used.  The chlorine, preferably in an amount of from 0.9 to 1.8 mols. per mol. of ester, may be diluted with indifferent gases such as nitrogen. Advantageously, a polymerization inhibitor is also added.  The product may be separated by condensation and subsequent distillation. In examples: (1) methyl acrylate is converted to methyl a -chloroacrylate and some methyl alpha: beta-dichloropropionate in presence of barium chloride on alumina at 240 DEG  C.; (2) to (5) the yield is improved by the addition of, separately, dimethylformamide, diethylamine, di-n-butylamine and triethylamine, respectively; (6) and (7) the barium chloride catalyst of (2) is replaced by cobalt bromide on alumina and, separately, zinc chloride on alumina; (8) ethyl acrylate is converted as in (2) to ethyl alpha-chloroacrylate and some ethyl alpha: beta-dichloropropionate; and (9) the catalyst of (2) is replaced by cupric chloride on alumina.
