Abstract: 405,668. Firelighters. THOMSON, G. N., Dunsinane, Exmouth, Devon, and BAMBER, C. K., 9, Victoria Street, London. May 11, 1932, Nos. 13603 and 24009. [Class 50.] A firelighter or fuel comprises a mixture of unvulcanized indiarubber and a solid binding agent, preferably a cheap fibrous material such as wood chips, sawdust, or cokernut fibre. The rubber which may be the solidified gum extrusion or in crepe form may be softened with combustible oil such as crude paraffin and thus brought into a stiff liquid plastic or jelly-like state and latex may be included in the mixture which with the sawdust &c. is kneaded in a mixer until it has become stiff enough to be cut and moulded to shape. Sawdust or cokernut fibre &c. may be placed in the moulds to cast the shaped pieces which may be in the form of cones, tubes or rings. One of the Provisional Specifications describes the use of a liquid, jelly or plastic mixture of unvulcanized rubber and oil as a fuel-igniting preparation.

Abstract: 310,934. Zipf, K. E. May 3, 1938, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. Medicines for internal use.-Preparations of insulin suitable to be administered by the mouth are obtained by mixing insulin, or organs or preparations of organs containing it, with an organic acid, or a salt thereof, or an agent yielding acid or splitting off formaldehyde, or a mixture of such substances. The preparations are put up in hardened gelatine capsules or as coated pills so as to be protected against gastric digestion. Acids specified are the fatty acids, and benzoic, hippuric, methylene hippuric, glutaric, glutaminic, mandelic, and cinnamic acids; agents yielding acids are acid esters and acid amides such as fats and formamide: agents yielding formaldehyde are methylene hippuric acid, hexamethylene tetramine, methylene citric acid, para-formaldehyde, and trioxymethylene. According to examples dry insulin is mixed respectively with (1) hippuric acid and sodium hippurate, (2) methylene hippuric acid, and (3) benzoic acid, para-formaldehyde, sodium hippurate, and glutaminic acid. The prior use of mixtures of insulin with inorganic acid is referred to.

Title: Improvements in magnetic suspension arrangements
IPC: F16C39/06
Filed: 1950-06-01
Abstract: A magnetic suspension device or bearing employing permanent magnets (see Groups XXXIV and XXXV) has means which compensate for variations of flux due to alterations in the ambient temperature.  These means are made of alloys containing either approximately 70 per cent nickel and 30 per cent copper, or 30 per cent nickel and 70 per cent iron; such alloys are magnetically non-permanent, have low magnetic permeabilities and negative temperature coefficients of permeability. It is stated that like alloys are known which have relatively linear temperature coefficients of permeability from -20 DEG  to 100 DEG F. Specification 550,788, [Group XXXVI], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the distribution of seeds, fertilisers, or like substances in granular or pulverulent form
IPC: A01C7/08
Filed: 1953-05-16
Abstract: 741,686. Manure distributers. SKINNER, W. May 14, 1954 [May 16, 1953], No. 13763/53. Class 6 (1). A distributer for seed or pulverulent material comprises a hollow drum through which passes central shaft 8 for the attachment of a drawba: 10, the drum being aper tured throughout its curved surface and having a re movable filler-cup 16 in one end-wall 3, this wal being provided with a screw-adjustment 14 fo moving a similarly-apertured sleeve 12 longitudinally in order partially or completely to obturate the apertures in the drum, and, further, the end-walls 3, 4 are formed with returned flanges 5 forming treads for rolling the device along the ground. The screw-adjustment comprises two bolts 14 in one end wall 3 engaging threaded brackets 13 secured to the sleeve 12. The bracket 13 co-operates with guides, Fig. 3 (not shown) on the end wall 13 to prevent rotation of the sleeve relatively to the drum, but the apertures in the drum are elongated laterally to ensure alignment with the sleeve-apertures. In a modification, the adjusting movement of the sleeve is rotary instead of longitudinal and in a further construction the sleeve is fixed and exerts a comminuting action on the material as the drum rotates. For distributing light powders, a wind-shield may cover the upper part of the drum and be provided with pads for wiping its surface.

Step (a) may be effected by passage of the filaments over a succession of heated rollers or plates or by hot gases and reduction of their temperature to the value demanded by step (b) may occur by natural cooling perhaps assisted by passage of the filaments over rollers maintained at an appropriate temperature. The filaments, if desired after a further heat treatment under relaxed conditions, may be cut into staple fibres.

Title: Process for the recovery of sugar from sugar cane by continuous diffusion and apparatus therefor
IPC: C13B10/02
Filed: 1961-04-17
Abstract: Sugar is recovered from sugar cane by continuous diffusion processing by first reducing the cane to short chopped pieces (e.g. below about 2 inches length) and breaking and masticating the pieces to produce a chopped, crushed, macerated mass of fragments, preferably below about 1/4 inch in cross-section, subjecting the resulting mass to disintegration by impact action to produce a disintegrated mass of pulp, and then subjecting the disintegrated mass to continuous diffusion processing to extract the sugar.  In preferred operation, the chopped, crushed, macerated mass of fragments is collected and conveyed to the impacting step at a rate to produce a predetermined uniform density of solids to be subjected to the impact action, in the disintegration the pressure on the solids and the rate of impacting are progressively increased to achieve a beating action, and the fibres produced by the disintegration are separated during the diffusion, pressed to dryness and the juice removed is returned to the diffusion processing.  The system of apparatus, Figs. 1 and 2 (not shown), disclosed includes: A prebreaker, Fig. 4 (not shown), as disclosed in U.S.A. Specification 2,971,551; a commonly used weighing conveyer and controller, Fig. 6 (not shown); a disintegrator, Fig. 5 (not shown), as disclosed in U.S.A.

Abstract: 602,096. Sewing-machines. GEGAUF'S SOHNE AKT.-GES., F. July 20, 1944, No. 13916. Convention date, July 31, 1943. [Class 112] For darning stockings by stitching, a sewing-machine having a projecting arm 1 over which the stocking A can be passed is used, the portion of the stocking to be worked on being held in a holding ring 10, with internal clamping means, which can be moved about by hand on the upper surface of the machine arm. The clamping means described is a split spring ring 17 with finger lugs 18; it may carry a continuous ring of rubber to give uninterrupted bearing of the stocking against the holding ring. In order to prevent the holder from passing under the needle 5, its movements are limited by a telescopic rod 8, 7, Fig. 1, carrying a ring 9 within which the ring 10 fits; the relative movement of the parts 8, 7 is limited by a pin-and-slot connection and the part 7 is detachably pivoted to the machine arm at 13 and of which the end engages between stops 14 on the upright of the machine to limit the pivoting movement. As an alternative to the rod 8, 7, one or two arcuate stop members 19, 22, Fig. 8, extending across the machine arm 1 and having downwardly-projecting ends 21 embracing the sides of the arm may be attached to the arm to limit the field of movement of the holding ring 10 in one or both directions longitudinally of the arm. Specification 602,163 is referred to.

In a system for producing a digital indication of the angular position of a shaft "carrying a point 1, Fig. 1, a continuously rotating arm 5, 12 carrying a photo-cell 6 and a lamp 7 at its end produces a reference pulse as it passes between a fixed lamp 9 and photo-cell 11 and a data pulse as it passes over the pointer 1 and the period between these two pulses is measured by counting 3 clock-pulses from a source 22. To initiate a cycle of operation a switch 20 is closed turning on a trigger 19 so that the next reference pulse from the fixed cell 11 will turn on a trigger 18 and start the counting. Trigger 18 is turned off by the data pulse thereby stopping the counting and turning off trigger 19. The motor 4 which drives the rotating arm 5 is synchronized with the source of clock pulses 22 via divider 23 and an amplifier 24. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown) clock pulses are produced by a magnetically sensed scale driven by the motor.
