Title: Improvements in paper or like containers
IPC: B65D75/50
Filed: 1934-11-22
Abstract: 442,176. Paper &c. containers for milk &c. UTILITY CARTONS, Ltd., and PALMER, H. W. S., 2, Arundel Street, Strand, London. Nov. 22, 1934, Nos. 33601 /34, 33602 /34, 36124/34, and 1936 /35. [Classes 66 and 94 (ii)] A container for milk &c. is formed from a tube of paper &c. closed at each end by collapsing the sides to a straight line and securing the meeting edges of the walls together and waxing or so treating that a water-tight and substantially rigid container is formed. The container may be formed by wrapping a strip of paper &c. on a circular mandrel or by folding over the two side edge portions of a flat strip, to form a flat tube, and cutting sections therefrom. The waxing may be effected at any stage of the manufacture. Score lines 5 may be made in the tubular blank to give the erected container the form of a tetrahedron, Fig. 2. The edges may be secured together by U-shaped metal clips clamped thereon, or by rolling or folding the edges provided with adhesive. One edge 2 of the tube, at each end, may project beyond the other edge. Specification 442,180 is referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 433,480.

Title: Process for improving the properties of cellulose material
Inventor: COATES HAROLD
IPC: C08G79/02
Filed: 1959-10-05
Abstract: The properties of cellulose materials, especially dimensional stability, tear strength, abrasion resistance, crease resistance, handle and drape, surface lustre, and dyeing characteristics, are improved or modified by incorporating a further-polymerisable methylolphosphorus polymeric material, as defined in the parent Specification, containing at least one free methylol group attached to a phosphorus atom, and then exposing the material in the dry state to the action of gaseous ammonia, preferably for 5-20 minutes, followed by subjecting it to an aqueous treatment, preferably for 10-20 minutes, with a solution of a compound capable of releasing ammonia in situ, for example ammonium hydroxide or the ammonium salt of a weak acid, such as the acetate or carbonate.  The preferred polymeric material is a reaction product of tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride and urea, and may be applied to the cellulose material as an aqueous solution, desirably containing a buffer such as an ammonium salt of a weak acid, for example the acetate.  In an example a cotton yarn treated by the process of the invention was dyed by immersion in a solution of 5 parts of Polar Brilliant Red G (Geigy Co. Ltd.) and 5 parts anhydrous sodium sulphate in 1000 parts of water for one hour at 90-95 DEG C., the fabric liquid ratio being 1 : 4, followed by cold rinsing for 20 minutes.

Abstract: 605,405. Moulding processes; patterns. BRIGGS MANUFACTURING CO. Dec. 21, 1945, No. 34749. Convention date, Dec. 26, 1944. [Class 83 (i)] A method of making a metal pattern comprises making a mould impression of an article to be reproduced, casting a pattern in the said impression with a metal or alloy having the property of growing uniformly in size when allowed to stand, allowing this intermediate pattern to grow to a predetermined oversize, making a mould impression of said oversize pattern casting and casting in metal a final pattern from the last-mentioned mould impression. The article or pattern 10 to be reproduced is placed in a flask 11 and a flowable mixture of plaster or calcined gypsum and water is poured in and allowed to set. The mould 12 thus produced is removed from the flask and inverted within a box 13, 14 having a cover-plate 16 formed with a pouring aperture 19 and with depending cooling ribs 18. A low melting-point metal or alloy having low shrinkage properties and which will grow when allowed to stand is melted and poured through the opening 19 to form a pattern 20. A suitable alloy is one known under the Registered Trade Mark " Cerrobase " and comprising 58 per cent bismuth and 42 per cent lead. This pattern is allowed to stand until it has grown to a predetermined extent, for example .005 inch per inch and is then used in the manner already described to form a plaster mould in which the final pattern is cast in a mould similar to that shown in Fig. 2. The amount of growth of the intermediate pattern may be such as to compensate for the shrinking of the final pattern and also for the shrinking of the casting formed therefrom.

Title: Vehicle speed responsive system
IPC: F02P7/067
Filed: 1970-07-20
Abstract: 1306424 Electric control system FORD MOTOR CO Ltd 20 July 1970 [28 Aug 1969] 35046/70 Heading G1N [Also in Divisions E2 F1 H2 and H3] A control system for a motor vehicle includes a tachogenerator which produces at terminals 54, 56 an A.C. signal of frequency proportional to vehicle speed which signal is converted by transistor 48 diode 62 and capacitors 60, 68 to a charge level, proportional both to frequency and battery 40 voltage, across capacitor 68 which level when it exceeds a predetermined value enables transistors 72, 76 and 98 and disables transistor 86 so that the battery voltage is applied to actuate solenoid 102 or a warning lamp, a reference diode 92 acting to change the switching level of transistor 76 corresponding to battery voltage variations. Thus increased battery voltage for example produces correspondingly increased charge on capacitor 68 thereby tending to enable transistor 76 at a lower speed. Diode 92 counteracts this tendency by applying all the voltage increase to the base of transistor 86 and the collector of transistor 76 so that a higher voltage is required to enable the latter. Fig. 1 (not shown), illustrates the A.C. signalgenerator (see Division H2A). The solenoid is applied, alternatively to locking vehicle doors at speeds above 8 m.p.h. or blocking the distributer advance signal obtained from a carburetter spark port until a speed above 20 m.p.h. is reached when normal advance is permitted, the solenoid is coupled to a vacuum motor for the latter purpose. In another embodiment the solenoid is used in. a throttle modulator system in which the solenoid is actuated to open slightly the throttle blade during deceleration above a predetermined speed and is deactuated below that speed. An alternative circuit Fig.3 (not shown), is arranged to disable the transistor 98 above the predetermined speed so that normal vehicle operation is ensured even for failure of the circuit.

In a preferred embodiment Fig. 1 (not shown) a television studio 19 has in addition to a microphone 1, camera 2 and video tape recorder 3 a teleprinter 8 connected via an encoder 9 and a magnetic core store 10 to a processor unit 7 whereby answers to audibly and/or visibly presented questions may be repeatedly encoded and transmitted as a string of up to 25 characters in a 6-bit code on the first 25 lines of the first field of a 625 line interlaced TV picture. The television signals are transmitted through free space or coaxial cable to a plurality of student stations each of which includes a TV set 23. The top 25 lines may be hidden. A sequential character selector 26, 28 feeds a single answer character at a time via a serial-to-parallel converter 29 to a comparator 32. A keyboard 33 on which students indicate their answers is connected to the comparator 32. The arrangement is such that a character-by-character comparison is effected until either an incorrect character is keyed or an end-of-response format character following the coded answer is detected. A lamp 41 is illuminated for every correct character and is made to flash when the complete answer is correctly keyed in. Counters 46 and 49 count the number of correct and incorrect answers respectively. By depressing a reset key 42 the student may make a further attempt within a given overall response period but the counters only register the first result. Answers may range from multi-character names for example of people or places to single character indications of selections from multi-choice questions. In modifications, a blanking arrangement may be included whereby the characters of an answer transmitted as the second set of 25 lines of the picture in visually recognizable form are progressively unblanked on the screen as correct responses are keyed-in, a complete answer or message may be unblanked together as soon as a correct answer has been keyed-in, the answers may be encoded on to the audio signal or transmitted as a separate signal, single character answers may be encoded as a timed pulse relative to the synch. pulse, a light pen may be provided for students to indicate responses, several students may be associated with each TV set each student having a separate keyboard 33, and totalizers may be provided which are connected by telex link back to the television studio from where the aggregate of the responses may be transmitted immediately.
