Abstract: 551,939. Bookbinding; filing papers; apparatus for affixing tapes by adhesives. READ, W. G. July 31, 1942, No. 10766. [Classes 16, 73 and 146 (i)] Sheets are bound in overlapping series by a number of spaced adhesive tapes extending across the stepped edges. A second set of tapes may extend along the opposite faces of the sheets. The machine for applying the tapes at the desired spacing has a bed 15 with a transparent plate 16 covering a master sheet, the reels of tape being mounted above and below the bed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to multiplying arrangements for electronic digital computing machines
Inventor: KILBURN TOM
IPC: G06F7/52
Filed: 1953-04-20
Abstract: 788,927. Digital electric calculating apparatus. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. April 13, 1954 [April 20, 1953], No. 10798/53. Class 106 (1). [Also in Group XL (c)] In a multiplying arrangement for an electronic digital computer, groups of multiplier digits each control the selection of an appropriate one of simultaneously provided partial product signals representing respectively different multiples of the multiplicand. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement basically similar to that described in Specifications 705,476 and 761,968, the multiplicand D and multiplier R being represented by binary series-mode pulse trains (negative pulse for " 1 ", no pulse for " 0 "). The multiplicand signal d on line 10 is passed through 1- digit delay network 12 to produce 2d on line 11, and both d and 2d are passed through adder 14 to produce 3d on line 13. Each of the gate circuits such as 16, 17, 18 passes one or more of the signals d, 2d, 3d in accordance with the values of an associated pair of multiplier digits such as r<SP>0</SP>, r<SP>1</SP>, represented by signals from staticisor 24. The gate outputs are passed to a series of 2-digit delays such as 22, and adders such as 20 so as to produce a pulse train representing the product P on line 23. Various forms of gate circuits are described, e.g. an arrangement of four diode " AND " gates plus an inverter (Fig. 2, not shown), or of three diode " AND " gates and associated transistor devices like those described in Specification 747,606 (Figs. 7 and 8, not shown) one of the devices taking precedence over the other two. In the case where both direct and inverted multiplier digit signals are available from the staticisor, each gate circuit such as 16, Fig. 1, may comprise three " AND gates 40, 41, 42, Fig. 4 (see Group XL (c)), comprising diodes D410, D412, D414 to which the signals d, 2d, 3d are applied and pairs of triodes, such as V10, V411, receiving appropriate control potentials, such as INVERTED r<SP>1</SP> and r<SP>0</SP>, from the associated staticisor sections 24 0 , 24<SP>1</SP> which determine whether or not the applied signals are passed through buffer diodes D420, D421, D422 to output line 19. Each staticisor section comprises a bi-stable triode trigger circuit which receives " 1 "-representing and resetting impulses through diodes, such as D400, D401 respectively, the outputs being taken from the diode anodes. The R-digit-pulses may control the staticisor through a multi-section delay line similar to those described in Specification 786,734 or, in a modified form of staticisor (Fig. 4a, not shown), through diode gates controlled by " p-pulses." The adders such as 14, 20, Fig. 1, may be similar to that described in Specification 693,424, circuit diagrams being given for an adder and a delay device. In another form of multiplying arrangement gate circuits are controlled by groups of three multiplier digits and each selects one of signals d to 7d.

Coating-machines.-Viscid materials such as sugar pastes, chocolate paste for coating cores, cream for confectionery, oils, fats, cream or milk, are spread in thin films on a moving band or roller prior to submitting them to heating, cooling, cooking, roasting, drying, mixing or other operations. The material is taken from a hopper a by a rotating roller b on the surface of which it is spread by a roller b<1> rotating oppositely and at a lower speed or by a fixed breast. The material is removed from the roller b by a band c or roller, moving oppositely to the roller b at the point of contact, and at a much higher speed. As illustrated, the band c passes over a cooling chest d<1>. If the rollers b, b<1> are rotated at the same speed so that each roller receives a coating, a rapidlymoving band or roller may contact with each roller to remove the coating as a thin film. Means are provided for adjusting the distance apart of the rollers b, b<1> and of the band c and roller b. The rollers b, b' may be heated.

Patent GB-571079-A (GB)
Title: Improved process for the dehydrogenation and alkylation of hydrocarbons
Filed: 1943-07-06
Abstract: A cracked petroleum fraction consisting mainly of normal and iso butanes and butenes is distilled to separate substantially the isobutane, the remainder is passed to a catalytic dehydrogenation zone to convert normal butenes to butadiene, and the product, or a substantial part thereof, after separating propane and lower boiling gases, and butadiene, is alkylated with the isobutane distillate.  A C4 feed stock containing at least as much normal butenes as isobutene and normal butane together is generally used.  The dehydrogenation is preferably effected with steam present in the ratio to n-butenes of about 10-50 : 1 to give a conversion above about 40, preferably 50-55 per cent or more per pass.  Part of the product, less than 50, and preferably 15-30 per cent of the total, after separating C3 gases and lighter, and butadiene, may be recycled to the dehydrogenation zone. The isobutane separated from the feed preferably contains less than 3-4 per cent of n-butenes.  The remaining hydrocarbons are heated, mixed with separately heated steam and passed over dehydrogenation catalysts at about 1050-1300 DEG  F., at a rate of about 100-1000 vols. n-butene/vol. catalyst/hr.  Suitable catalysts contain both constituents which are active in promoting dehydrogenation and the reaction between carbon or hydrocarbons and steam, whereby carbon deposition is lessened and reactivation can be effected with steam alone.  They may contain a major proportion of magnesium oxide, part or all of which may be substituted by an oxide of zinc, zirconium or beryllium, with a dehydrogenating oxide such as an iron, chromium, cobalt, nickel or manganese oxide, a promoter such as an oxide of potassium, sodium, lithium, barium, calcium, lead or titanium, and a stabilizer for the promoter, e.g. oxides of metals of the right-hand side of Groups 1, 2 and 3, and other non-acidic oxides such as those of thorium, zirconium, cerium, and other rare earths, lead, bismuth, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, aluminium, and silver, or metallic silver.  The dehydrogenation products are quenched, cooled to condense water and polymers, and oil scrubbed to separate C3 and lighter gases which are unabsorbed.  The oil is stripped and the distillate treated with a selective solvent such as ammoniacal cuprous acetate to absorb the butadiene which is recovered by heating.  The unabsorbed gas consists of n-butane, isobutene, and some unconverted n-butenes and is alkylated with the isobutane using a catalyst such as sulphuric, fluorsulphonic or chlorsulphonic acid, boron fluoride-water, boron fluoride-phosphoric acid, aluminium and hydrogen or sodium chloride, other complexes of aluminium chloride, or activated clays.  Sulphuric acid of above 92, e.g. 97-98 per cent, may be used at a temperature of about 50 DEG  F., the reactants forming an emulsion which is recycled to maintain an isoparaffin: olefin ratio of about 200 : 1.  The separated hydrocarbon layer is fractionated to obtain an alkylate for use as a motor fuel.
