Filed: 1952-01-18
Abstract: 709,492. Power measurement. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., LTD. Jan. 18, 1952, [Jan. 24, 1951.] No. 1506/52. Class 37. [Also in Group XI] In an apparatus for cooking food by means of ultra-high frequency energy, in which the food is placed in a shielded cavity 21 within an oven 10 (see Group XI), the net amount of such energy fed through a coaxial line 38 to the cavity is measured by means of directional couplers 68, 69 in the form of loops placed in the plane of the line. The couplers are poled to draw respectively a current that is proportional to the incident power and another current that is proportional to the reflected power of the waves travelling through the line, and are connected through crystal detectors 72, 73 and a filter network 74 to an amplifier 81. The instantaneous output voltage of the amplifier is dependant on the net instantaneous ultra-high frequency power delivered to the cavity, and this voltage is fed to the armature 100 of a shunt motor, the field 101 of which is energized from a voltage regulator 67. The speed of the motor is dependant on this power and the total number of its revolutions is dependant on the net ultra-high frequency energy supplied. The motor is connected through reduction gearing 102, and a slip clutch 103 to a shaft 104 which carries a control dial 105 and a switch mechanism. The arrangement is such that the dial is initially turned and set to correspond with a predetermined amount of said energy, and after this amount has been supplied a switch 107 is operated and this power supply automatically cut off. Specifications 664,207 and 666,074, [both in Group XI], are referred to.

Patent GB-1025444-A (GB)
Title: Biologically active animal proteinaceous hormones
IPC: A61K38/27
Filed: 1963-01-14
Abstract: Proteinaceous hormones of animal origin are activated for administration to humans by treatment with proteolytic enzymes to a desired degree of hydrolysis, followed by inactivation of the enzyme by means of a non-toxic inhibiting substance specific to the enzyme used.  The animal hormone may be pituitary gland hormones, especially the somatotropic hormone.  The inhibitors may be (a) vegetable e.g. lima bean or soy bean inhibitor; (b) animal e.g. ovomucoids, peptidase inhibitors extracted from pancreas porotids or ascaris; or (c) chemical e.g. diisofluorophosphates.  The required degree of hydrolysis is 25 to 35% of the total hydrolysis.  The inhibitor terminates the hydrolysis and inhibits further enzyme activity of the hormone, even when the product is administered with separation of the inhibitor/enzyme complex.  The complex may be removed by dialysis at pH 6-8 and removal of the precipitated active components.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a process of making vanillin
IPC: C07C47/58
Filed: 1948-01-20
Abstract: Vanillin is obtained from solutions of lignosulphonic acid compounds by heating with caustic alkali under autogenic pressure to 140-170 DEG  C. and continuously introducing air or oxygen until 25-35 grams of oxygen have been consumed per 100 grams of lignin present.  The cooking time varies from 3 hours at the lower temperature to 60 minutes at the higher and the partial pressure of oxygen may range from a few pounds to 40 pounds.  Preferred conditions are a temperature of 160-170 DEG  C. and a cooking time of 60-110 minutes. The starting material is preferably free from non-ligneous organic material and the lignin concentration may range from 40 to 200 grams per litre, the corresponding sodium hydroxide concentration being 80 to 200 grams per litre.  A suitable starting material is basic calcium lignosulphonate.  To obtain effective contact between the solution and oxygen, either may be sprayed into the other.  Suitable apparatus is described in which oxygen or air is led into the solution and continuously re-cycled.  Examples show the yield of vanillin obtained under different conditions.  The vanillin may be isolated from the cooked liquor by known processes, e.g. extraction with a water-immiscible alcohol such as n-butanol, as in Specification 490,646.
