Title: Improvements in and relating to the utilisation of fresh citrus peel
IPC: A23L27/12
Filed: 1944-11-27
Abstract: The essential oils of citrus peel are obtained by subjecting the disintegrated peel mixed with a grinding powder, such as sand, to high pressure in a hydraulic press, passing the expressed liquor through a filter press, and finally separating the filtered liquor in a centrifuge into its components of essential oils and sugary liquid. The latter may be used for washing the residue retained in the hydraulic press which is transferred to an open vessel having a perforated bottom and the sugary liquid preferably sprayed thereon. The grinding powder and any remaining essential oils are removed by the sugary liquid and the residue simultaneously enriched thereby. This residue after drying may be utilized as cattle fodder The remnant of essential oils may be recovered from the sugary wash liquor by separating the grinding powder by sedimentation and then passing the liquor through a second filter press to a centrifuge for separating the remnant of essential oils therefrom.  The sugary liquor may be used for fermentation processes.  In a modification, the residue retained in the hydraulic press may be washed with pure water and in this instance the residue is used as a primary material for the recovery of citrus pectin.ALSO:The essential oils of citrus peel are obtained by subjecting the disintegrated peel mixed with a grinding powder, such as sand, to high pressure in a hydraulic press, passing the expressed liquor through a filter press, and finally separating the filtered liquor in a centrifuge into its components of essential oils and sugary liquid.

Title: Gas turbine power plant
IPC: F02C7/36
Filed: 1957-07-25
Abstract: 820,430. Gas turbine plant. UNITED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION. July 25, 1957 Aug. 17, 1956], No. 23667/57. Class 110 (3). A gas turbine power plant comprising a lowpressure compressor rotor and a separatelyrotatable high - pressure compressor rotor mounted on concentric shafts, has a drive gear in mesh with a driven gear mounted on an accessory drive-shaft, driven by the outer concentric shaft and a thrust bearing mounted on the inner concentric shaft adapted to take the axial thrust of the drive gear. A compound gas turbine comprises a low-pressure compressor rotor 8 and a high-pressure compressor rotor 26 located upstream and downstream respectively of an intermediate housing 10. The rotor 8 is mounted on a shaft 20 supported by the intermediate housing 10 by combined radial and thrust bearings 12. The shaft 28 of the rotor 26 surrounds the shaft 20 and is supported in concentric relation thereto by a radial bearing 30. The inner race 32 of the bearing 30 is positioned axially on the shaft 20 and the outer race 34 which is a sleeve is held within the shaft 28 and is free to move axially with respect to the inner race. The rotor 26 is located axially by another bearing (not shown) downstream of the bearing @0. The housing 10 comprises a number of vanes 38 interconnected by a ring 40 having a flange which has openings 44 to receive the bearing 46 of an accessory drive-shaft 48. The housing 10 also includes discs 50, 52 and frustoconical elements 56, 58. The shaft 48 carries a drive-gear 68 which meshes with a gear 70 driven from the shaft 28 through a sleeve 72. The sleeve 72 surrounds the end of the shaft 28 and is driven therefrom by splines 74. The gear 70 is splined to the sleeve 72 and is secured thereto by a clamping-ring 76. A radial and thrust bearing 78 mounted on the inner shaft 20 has its inner race 80 located axially on the shaft 20 and its outer race 82 clamped to the sleeve 72 by a clamping-ring 84. The sleeve 72 is thus secured against axial movement. This arrangement allows the shaft 28 to expand in the axial direction without interfering with the mesh of the gears 68, 70. A packing-ring 85 prevents oil leakage past the splines 74. Seals 88, 92 prevent leakage of lubricant from the chamber 86. The bearings may be lubricated by spray nozzles that direct lubricant against bearings 12 and through openings in the sleeve 72. The inner surface 108 of the shaft 28 is preferably made divergent toward the bearing 30 so that any lubricant leaking past the bearing 30 is discharged through openings in the shaft 28 to pass to the splines 74 and teeth on the gears 68, 70. A gear 116 may drive another radial shaft angularly spaced from the shaft 48. Specification 765,021 is referred to.

Title: Silk screening method and apparatus
IPC: G03F7/12
Filed: 1969-05-12
Abstract: 1,272,628. Printing apparatus. AMOLE Inc. 12 May, 1969 [14 May, 1968; 14 March, 1969], No. 24075/69. Heading B6C. In a process of silk screening a colour photograph on to a bottle having an arcuate outer surface, a silk screen is prepared for each of a plurality of colour separation photographs, all the screens being of substantially the same tension, and each screen in turn is mounted on a carriage and aligned in a preset position. The bottle is held in a fixture and indexed to a predetermined angular position correlated with the preset position of the screen and air is introduced into its interior to hold it rigid, the arcuate surface is raised into contact with the screen and positively rotated and the screen is moved at an identical linear speed as that of the arcuate surface, the colour being applied through the screen on to the arcuate surface without relative movement between the arcuate surface and the screen in the area of contact therebetween. Each silk screen, prepared from the appropriate colour separation photograph, Fig. 4 or Fig. 23 (not shown), is secured to a screen frame in which location holes are drilled with the aid of a jig, Fig. 5 or Fig. 24 (not shown), so that the screen may be set up precisely on the printing machine. The bottle is supported in a rotatable fixture 64 and through one end 84 of which pressure air may be supplied internally of the bottle to prevent collapse. The air supply may be rendered inoperative when printing on e.g. a glass bottle. The bottles are registered in particular angular relationship with the fixture by co-operation of a spring-loaded pin (133), Fig. 10 (not shown), in the interior of the chuck 78 of the fixture, with an indent 130 in the base of the bottle, the chuck having a drive arrangement which rotates it until the pin drops into the indent 130. There is a damping device (136), Fig. 8 (not shown), in the drive which prevents rebound after engagement of the pin and detent. The screen carriage 216 is horizontally reciprocable and carries a rack 235 which engages with a pinion 231 on the bottle fixture to ensure that the screen and bottle surface move at identical linear speeds in the same direction. The machine has various adjustments to allow setting up for bottles of different sizes, using a set-up bottle with index marks thereon. The squeegee (248), Fig. 19 (not shown), may be of the form shown in Fig. 17.

Title: Improvements in automatic voltage regulating means
Filed: 1936-09-03
Abstract: 476,829. Converting. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and TAYLOUR, H. H. Sept. 3, 1936, No. 24139. [Class 38 (ii)] In an automatic control arrangement for an arc converter operating in parallel with a dynamo-electric machine, a rotational speed dependent on voltage is compared with a standard speed of rotation, and voltage regulation of the converter is effected in accordance with departure from a predetermined ratio. A differential relay comparing the outputs of the converter and the machine operates by variation of the speed ratio to effect regulation of the converter output. The grid-controlled arc discharge converter 3 operating in parallel with compounded dynamo-electric machines 4 is automatically regulated for constant voltage by control of ignition timing. The ignition distributer is driven by a synchronous motor 21 and its stator is rocked by an arm 12 to vary the timing. The arm 12 is moved through a pinion 14 driven differentially from two worms 15, 16, one of which 15 rotates at constant speed, the other being driven by a motor 10 supplied from the rectifier 3. The field 9 of the motor 10 is supplied from a source 6 through a barretter 19 and resistances 8, 23. The voltage regulation thus obtained is modified by the operation of a relay 1 excited by a winding 5 and energized differentially by a coil 28 carrying current proportional to the converter current and a coil 30 carrying current proportional to the load current of the dynamoelectric machine 4. If the predetermined load distribution is disturbed, the relay 1 operates to short-circuit resistance 8 or shunt a resistance 11 across the field supply to the motor 10 so as to alter the speed ratio and adjust the arc converter to bring conditions back to normal. A relay 20 in the exciter circuit of the relay 1 is effective to cut out this control when no machine 4 is in operation. If a number of converters 3 operate in parallel a single regulator 22 controls their timing and the coil 28 may be supplied from a shunt 29 in any converter circuit or all the shunts 29 may be connected in parallel and connected to the coil 28. The differential device for comparing the two speeds may be of the torque motor type as described in Specification 432,106.
