Abstract: 21,213. " Athion " Ges. Sept. 21, 1912, [Convention date]. Carbonic acid; carbonic oxide.-Smoke gases are utilized by separating the carbon dioxide by means of alkali carbonate lyes, which are then heated to expel the carbon dioxide, which is supplied to carbonaceous fuel in a gas-producer to obtain gases rich in carbon monoxide. A part of the carbon dioxide obtained from the lye bv heating may, after being dried, be liquefied. The carbon monoxide is then burned for heating purposes, and the resulting carbon dioxide again utilized so as to form a cycle of operations. Almost pure carbon monoxide may be obtained by working the producer as in the production of water gas, the carbon-dioxide blast taking the place of the steaming period.

Abstract: 22,138. Bousfield, J. E., [Dutton, S. T.]. Oct. 1. Electrical and combined electrical and mechanical systems, non-automatic.-A semaphore is lowered when the train passes over a rail contact or track circuit a short distance from the signal after the signalman has arranged for the signal to be cleared; if the train passes the rail contact when the signal has not been prepared a bell is rung in the cabin, and this bell is also sounded if the signalman attempts to send ' train out of section ' while the lever is .pulled over. The signal lever may be pulled a full stroke to set the signal s to clear either mechanically or electrically without co-action of the train, but to put the signal ready for operation to clear by a train so as to cause a slackening of the speed of such train, which will approach a danger signal until it reaches the circuit-closing device i, the lever is moved to position a<1> and puts the zinc pole of the battery b to earth and the other pole.to the line-wire L, which passes through the polarized relay k, the circuit being completed by the closing of contact i by the train. The relay h then closes the clearing-circuit of the signal s. If the lever has not been moved, the battery b is reversed and the relay k moves its armature in the reverse direction and the signal circuit remains open. The train must be stopped at the ' danger ' signal and the fireman closes the switch u on the post so as to complete the circuit of the relay k when the lever a is pulled over. The switch u is reset when the signal goes back to ' danger.' While the signal lever is normal and the switch u closed, the relay f is energized and closes the circuit of the bell j indicating that a train is waiting at the signal. If the lever is set to either position for clearing the signal, while the block instrument is set to ' line closed ' the bell circuit is closed through the contacts w, w<1> on the tappet of the lever and through contacts on the block instrument.
