[Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv)] Forging bolt-like pins; dies.-A method of finishing a blind rivet comprising a sleeve-form body and a separate shank extending through the body and provided with an upsetting head, comprises pressing complementary arcuate die tips into the projecting headless shank portion to form a circular groove and outwardlyprojecting studs, which studs prevent a movement of the body past the groove and while holding the die tips in position to resist the longitudinal flow of metal, upsetting the headless end of the shank to form a pulling head. The tubular rivet 1 is supported within the bore 8 of a base-block 7 which has an extension 30 containing an adjustable plug 28 on which rests the expander head 4 of the mandrel or shank 2. A pair of dies 11, 12 each having a semicircular groove are adapted to be moved together above the block 7 so as to enclose the shank above the rivet 1. Semicircular projections of V-section extend into the grooves of the dies and form a circular breaking groove in the shank and at the same time produce two small projections 27 which retain the rivet body 1 on the shank. While the dies 11 and 12 are closed, the upper end 5 of the shank which extends into a tubular die 14 is upset by a punch 16 to form a pulling head, the dies 11 and 12 preventing the longitudinal flow of metal beyond the breaking groove.

Title: Catalysts and their use in a hydrocarbon steam reforming process
Inventor: DAVIES PHINEAS
IPC: C10G11/04
Filed: 1960-06-13
Abstract: A catalytic composition for steam reforming hydrocarbons comprises 3-80% by weight of nickel calculated as nickel oxide, a refractory support material and an alkali metal compound, added as oxide or hydroxide during preparation of the composition, to the extent of at least 0,5% calculated as equivalent weight of potassium oxide.  The composition does not contain copper or a copper compound.  The refractory material is not reducible by hydrogen at atmospheric pressure at temperatures below 1000  DEG C. Specified support materials are oxides of magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, aluminium, silicon, titanium, zirconium, thorium or chromium. Preferably a hydraulic binding agent, e.g. aluminous or Portland cement, is present.  A preferred support is china clay.  Specified alkali metals are potassium, sodium and lithium.  The composition may be in active (reduced) form or in oxidized form, and is preferably made in the shape of rings.  The catalyst may be prepared by precipitating a readily oxidizable nickel compound, e.g. NiCO3, from solution, forming this into pellets with the support material, impregnating the pellets with an aqueous solution of alkali, and drying.  In an example, a catalyst has the composition: SiO2 12,2%; Al2O3 21,6%; CaO 9,4%; MgO 11,6%; Na2O 0,2%; SO3 0,3%; Fe2O3 4,3%; NiO 17,8%; K2O 5,2%.

Abstract: 305,493. Moreton, C. J., and Prufix, Ltd. Aug. 5, 1927. Waterproofing; proofing-compositions. -A waterproofing solution for textile and other materials comprises gum Tragacanth, soap, animal, vegetable or mineral wax, and ammonia. The gum Tragacanth may be wholly or partly replaced by Indian gum, that is, the gum or gums obtained from Sterculia genera or allied genera, including Cochlospermum. Gossypium, and known as false Tragacanth, Hindu Tragacanth, Hog Tragacanth, Kalila, Kutira, Kietera, or Katirah. The material may be treated with an aqueous solution of a metal sulphate or acetate, such as titanium, zinc, or aluminium sulphate or aluminium acetate after treatment with the gum solution, and then dried by heat. Indian gum is soaked in water to produce a jelly like mass, which is then dissolved in ammonia solution. An emulsion is then made by boiling oleic acid soap and paraffin (melting at about 30‹ C.) in water, and passing through an emulsifier. This emulsion is mixed with the gum solution and water. The material to be proofed is soaked in the solution, preferably cold, wrung out or centrifuged, and passed through a solution of a metal sulphate or acetate such as aluminium acetate. In waterproofing paper, a slightly larger percentage of wax is used, the paper being passed between rollers in a trough containing the emulsion and then through, a calender. Dye may be added to the emulsion. Specification 262,605 is referred to.

Abstract: 1512263 Digital computers HONEYWELL INFORMATION SYSTEMS ITALIA SpA 16 May 1975 [16 May 1974] 20774/75 Heading G4A Interface apparatus for a data processing system comprises an "integrated interface" circuit module and a "standard interface" circuit module which can be removably connected respectively or vice versa to first and second identical ports of a central unit of the system to control and time information flow between it and respective peripheral units, the peripheral unit linked to the "integrated interface" module being so linked via a primarily passive device adapter and the peripheral unit linked to the "standard interface" being so linked via an active peripheral control unit. In the case of the "standard interface", the peripheral control unit controls sequencing through the channel programme, whereas in the case of the "integrated interface" the central unit controls this. There may be, say, 4 ports, and the I/O processing load on the central unit may be reduced by converting from an "integrated interface" on a port to a "standard interface" by changing modules and substituting a peripheral control unit for the device adapter. The two types of interface module are plug-connected and both contain logic and flip-flops for converting, where necessary, the interlocking tag and other control signal used. The "integrated interface" module includes a control register, a data in register, a data out register, a parity bit generator and a parity check unit, while the "standard interface" module includes two data registers in series for each direction of data transfer. The control register in the "integrated interface" module contains bits to select a register in the device adapter to supply or receive data, and another bit in this register is sent in inverse or true form according as the last data character has been reached or not (as indicated by the central unit).
