Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 29,304. Leduc, P. L. L. Dec. 16. Burglar alarmas. - An electric burglar-alarm circuit can be made or broken by an initiated person outside the protected flat &c. by inserting plugs in certain combinations of holes in a switchboard, Fig. 2, the combinations required depending on the positions of other plugs in a switchboard, Fig. 3, inside the house. A copper rod T, carried by a spindle c pivoted between a copper plate C and support b, carries an electromagnet F, the ends of the coil of which are connected to copper strips e, f on an insulating - cylinder d on the spindle c arranged in contact with springs e', f<1>. T h e electro-magnet F is placed between the poles of the magnet E, so that a current flowing from A to B causes the rod T to swing away from the spring D, and a reverse current causes it to swing towards the spring, thus opening and closing the alarm circuit respectively. The switchboard inside the flat, Fig. 3, comprises three plug switches, in each of which a horizontal block l<1>, l<2>, l<3> can be connected to any one of three vertical blocks by a plug. The outside switchboard consists of two adjacent rows of nine blocks, with three rows of plugholes, as shown in Fig. 2. The 1st, 4th, and 7th blocks of the upper row are connected together, also the 3rd, 6th, and 9th; the 2nd, 5th, and 8th are connected separately to the three vertical blocks 2, 5, 8 of the first inside switch. The 1st, 4th, and 7th blocks of the lower row are connected together and to the terminal A, the 3rd, 6th, and 9th are connected separately to the three blocks 3, 6, 9 of the second inside switch, and the 2nd, 5th, and 8th to the three blocks 1, 4, 7 of the third inside switch. The blocks l<1>, l<3> are connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery Z, a press-button switch K being interposed in one of the leads, and the block l<2> is connected to the terminal B. Suppose the holes in each row of the outside switchboard are numbered from left to right. and the upper row represents hundreds, the middle row tens, and the lower row units, and suppose the numbers on the blocks on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd inside switches represents hundreds, tens, and units respectively. Then, in order to close the alarm circuit from outside, it is necessary to place plugs in the holes forming the number formed by the plugged holes on the inside switches, for example 5, 3, 7 in the example shown, and press the push K. In order to break the circuit, the plugs must be placed in holes forming a number obtained by decreasing the hundreds figure of the previous number by 1, the tens figure by 2, and increasing the units figure by 1, the lowest plug being connected to a fourth plug placed in the hole in the tens row corresponding to the plugged hole in the 2nd inside switch. The circuit can also be closed by a switch l inside the flat.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Raising and Forcing of Liquids.
Filed: 1911-04-24
Granted: 1912-04-24
Abstract: 9937. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. May 2, 1910, [Convention date]. Free-piston pumps.-In a gas-explosion pump of the Humphrey type, a free piston is interposed between the combustion chamber and the liquid column, this piston being fitted with an air buffer device. In Fig. 1, the piston d moves in the cylinder a, which is an extension of the combustion chamber. The piston has a collar f working in the larger cylinder i, so that the enclosed air above and below the collar acts as a buffer. In a modification, the buffer arrangement is outside the pump, in a separate cylinder, the piston being connected to the working piston by a rod. When the charge is ignited above the piston d, the piston is forced downwards, and its motion then arrested by the buffer. The water continues to move, thus drawing in water through the valve l. This suction is increased by a small upward movement of the piston caused by expansion of the air in the buffer. The water now forces the piston back, expelling the exhaust gas. The suction and compression strokes, caused by the elasticity of the air in the buffer, are shorter than the working stroke. A differential piston may be used between the gas and the liquid column.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Potassium Salts and Phosphates.
Inventor: FIRMAN WILLIAM STOCKTON
IPC: C05F11/00
Filed: 1911-07-04
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 15,593. Firman, W. S. July 4. Scaweed, treating. - Dried seaweed is incinerated d with restricted air supply to maintain the temperature low enough to prevent loss of potash salts. The dried material is fed into a furnaee 8 by a covered charging-hole 9 and is ignited from below, the ash falling through fire-bars 4 into an ash - pit 6. When the combustion is sufficiently started, a damper 11 on the chimney 10 is nearly closed, and, when most of the carbon is burnt off, wholly closed. Water or a salt solution, preferably a solution containing potassium salts such as a solution obtained by lixiviating the ash, is then sprayed on the ash, converting it to clinkers. Suitable solutions are sea-water concentrated by evaporation, or other natural or artificial solution containing, for example. potassium and sodium chloride and sodium sulphate and carbonate. Access to the grate is obtained by fire-doors 3, 5, doors 17, 18, and passages 16, while the ash-pit is provided with a door 13. Between the passages 16 are tanks 7, in which the water or solution is heated, having covers 20 and valved discharge pipe 15 terminating in a hose 23. for spraying the ash. The clinkered ash is preferably powdered, and may be used as a source of potassium salts or as a fertilizer. In the latter case, phosphoric acid or substances containing it may be added to the ash or to the seaweed. To the dry weed in the furnace may be added ground or granular bones, mineral phosphate, or other material containing phosphoric acid. On lixiviating the ash to remove the potassium chloride, this is left in a condition in which it is more easily ground.
