Title: Process for the production of suppositories containing therapeutically valuable calcium
IPC: A61K9/02
Filed: 1951-04-17
Abstract: Suppositories containing therapeutically available calcium are prepared by incorporating in a suppository base such as cocoa butter, readily water-soluble calcium salts of water-soluble fatty acids containing not more than 6 carbon atoms in the molecule e.g. calcium acetate, formate, propionate or butyrate.  The calcium salts are prepared in a finely divided form, preferably 0.01 to 0.001 m.m. particle size, by (a) grinding in a vibrating mill or (b) grinding in a ball mill and separating the finest components by means of an air separator.  Satisfactory suppositories are obtained with up to 150 m.g. of therapeutic calcium per 3 gram suppository.  Other medicines may be incorporated in the suppository e.g. vitamin D, vitamin C, rutin, parathyroid gland hormone and bile acids.

Title: Method for the pyrolytic decomposition of organic compounds
Filed: 1943-07-09
Abstract: <PICT:0571114/IV/1> In a method for pyrolysing cyclohexanone glyoxylic ester to cyclohexanone carboxylic ester, the former is distributed on to the upper surface of a heated column of particulate or granular material; pyrolysis takes place and the cyclohexanone carboxylic ester so formed is withdrawn as vapour while unvaporized residue, which may include any high boiling polymerization products, is removed from the base of the column.  When the column is maintained at 180 DEG  C. under a pressure of 15 mm., the yield is of the order of 60 per cent.  The particulate or granular material may be inert, e.g. sintered glass, or may consist of a catalyst, for example, iron filings, for the reaction.  The cyclohexanone glyoxylic ester is fed from a reservoir 1 through a pipe 2 and jet 3 on to the packing in a glass column 4 heated by resistance heating wire 7 in a glass spiral 6.  The residue is collected in the flask 9 while the vapours formed pass through the side arm 5 connected via a condenser 10 and vacuum adaptor to a collecting flask 12 for cyclohexanone carboxylic ester.

An indicator system comprises a master unit and one or more slaves each comprising a drum driven by a motor, all the motors being fed by a common supply, and switching means which cause all the slaves to repeat the indication of the master unit, and prevent the master unit from stepping to a different indication until the slaves have completed the previous step. Indicator.-Each indicator drum comprises a number of discs 22, Fig. 7, mounted on a shaft and around the periphery of which are a number of notches 32 into which fit the bridge pieces 31, Fig. 8, of the flaps. In the complete indicator, Fig. 4, the drum is mounted behind a window, so that two of the flaps 10, 11 are in the same plane behind the window and display the required information. Rotation of the drum causes flap 11 to drop, taking the place of flap 10, and flap 12 to take the place of flap 11. Signalling system.-In operation, the master indicator drum is driven by a motor 39, Fig. 9. The required indication is selected by rotating switch 62, thus releasing relay A closing contact a. Closure of switch K then starts the motor, rotating the drum and switch contact 49 until relay A is re-energized. The gearing between motor and the indicator is such that motor shaft 43 and cams 40, 41, Fig. 10, make one complete rotation for each step of the indicator. Soon after commencement of rotation of motor 39 cam 41 operates microswitches 50, 51 energizing motors 54 which operate the slave indicators. Soon after these motors start to rotate cams 56 operate switch 58 to energize relay S opening contact s to prevent motor 39 from making another revolution and switch 57 to complete a further circuit to hold motors 54 energized, until they have completed their revolution. Step-by-step manual operation is provided by push-buttons 73. Fault indication.-If one of the slave motors fails to complete its revolution, lamp 66 remains lit and relay S holds contact s open. Motor 39 may then be re-energized via a manual button 69. If one of the slave motors fails to start, relay R and lamp 71 are energized opening contact r, and further button 72 being provided to restart motor 39 if required.
