Filed: 1959-11-02
Abstract: 864,170. Prestressed concrete. SIMONCARVES Ltd. Nov. 2, 1959 [Nov. 1, 1958], No. 37049/59. Class 20(4) An anchor for the ends of wire cables in concrete structures comprises a rigid body having a plurality of passages formed in at least one group therethrough, normally to a major face thereof, each passage being adapted securely to receive one of a plurality of wire cables, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the whole of said wires in the or each group to the area enclosed by a line drawn around the radially-outermost portions of the peripheries of the radially outermost passages in the or each group being not less than 0À2. The rigid body 1, Fig. 2, may be cylindrical and be provided with an external screw thread 2 to receive either, an anchorage plate 5, Fig. 3, adapted to be embedded in the concrete mass, a nut 7, Fig. 4, adapted to bear against a pressure plate 8 recessed into the concrete structure, or an externally and internally threaded sleeve 13, Fig. 8 on the external thread of which may be screwed a nut 14 adapted to bear against a pressure plate 8 recessed into the concrete structure, the sleeve 13 being rather more than twice the axial length of the rigid body 1 so that its internal thread can be engaged with a suitable tensioning member. The sleeve 13 may also be used for coupling axially aligned wire cables, Figs. 9, 10 and 10a (not shown).

Organosilicon polymers, which may be monodisperse, having a heterogeneity ratio below 1À3, i.e. be of narrow molecular weight range and free of cyclic products, are prepared by heating, below the decomposition temperature of (B), a mixture of (A) a cyclotrisiloxane (R 2 SiO) 3  or a compound with a solution of (B) a catalytic amount of a compound in (C) a polar solvent, free of active hydrogen, having a dielectric constant at least equal to that of acetonitrile, and (D) at least a trace amount of a compound R<SP>1</SP>(OH) x  or an organosilicon compound having at least one hydroxyl group; in the above, A is a radical Q 4 X or an alkali metal atom, R is a monovalent hydrocarbon or halohydrocarbon, radical, Q is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, M is a silicon or boron atom, X is a nitrogen or phosphorus atom, R<SP>1</SP> is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon, halohydrocarbon, hydrocarbon ether or halohydrocarbon ether radical, a is 1 when M is Si and 0 when M is B, n is 0, 1 or 2, and x is 1, 2, 3 or 4. In several examples hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane is polymerized in the presence of the compound written for convenience as in dimethyl sulphoxide, with a trace of water as the initiator. In variant processes the cyclic dimethyl siloxane is replaced by cyclotri(methylphenylsiloxane) or oyclotri(trifluoropropyl methylsiloxane) or mixed with cyclotri(methylphenylsiloxane) or cyclotri(vinylhexylsiloxane) or replaced by the compounds or the catalyst is replaced by one of the compounds: the solvent is tetramethylene sulphone or dimethyl formamide or acetonitrile; and the water is replaced by phenol, trimethylsilanol, ethylene glycol or glycerol (the latter two introducing non-siloxane linkages) or supplemented by trimethylsilanol, methanol, ethanol or benzyl alcohol. Mixed monodisperse polymers are obtained by adding the cyclic siloxane in stages or by using the mixed hydroxy compounds above. Rubbers are obtained by reacting a product with cyclotetra(methylhydrogensiloxane) and curing this product mixed with SiO 2 , treated with (Me 3 .Si) 2 NH, and dibutyltin diacetate; and by mixing a product, which is monodisperse or mixed monodisperse, with SiO 2 , TiO 2  and vinyl tri(methyl ethyl ketoximato) silane and exposing the mixture to air.

Abstract: In a process for improving soya beans and similar leguminous seeds, the beans &c. are heated, with or without mechanical pretreatment, in, or after coating with, substances which protect them from oxidation, viz. oils or fats of vegetable or animal origin, mineral oils or paraffins or mixtures of the same, and then freed from the adhering substances by centrifuging.  If the beans &c. are coated with the oil &c., they are heated by hot air. Any water contained in the beans is removed by mixing water-absorbing substances such as calcium chloride, calcium sulphate, or common salt with the oil &c. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states that the beans may be subjected to heat treatment by means of an inert gaseous, liquid, or readily fusible solid heat transmitting agent, being kept separate from each other and in constant movement during the heating and also the water-soluble sugar substances in the beans &c. may be removed by extraction with water.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1974-11-07
Abstract: 1469639 Substation apparatus TELSTOP SA 7 Nov 1974 [8 Aug 1973] 37529/73 Heading H4K A system for monitoring the number dialled over a telephone line to allow an employer to keep a check on telephone calls made by employees at his expense comprises two separate units one adapted to detect and record pulses dialled and the other adapted to play-back the recording, analyse the recorded pulses and print, punch or otherwise display the digits dialled. The object is to allow the analysis and printing, punching or display equipment in the second unit to be shared between say one hundred first units. In one embodiment the second unit comprises a plurality of analysis units and a common automatic printer, the latter being the most expensive part of the system. Each analysis unit (Fig. 4, not shown) includes monostable and NOR gate logic to check the duration and spacing ratio of the impulses. As false one digits, i.e. single pulses are liable to be detected ones may be suppressed. Alternatively only selected digits may be printed or selected digits may be printed in a different colour. If a punched tape is produced it may be fed to a computer to perform any desired check on the number. The analysis unit may automatically adapt the tolerance limits of the pulse make and break unit during reception to tune to the particular dial. The detecting and recording units can be inductively coupled to the line without the aid of a telephone service engineer. Each recording unit includes an amplifier not shown, a low pass filter 29 to prevent speech being recorded, a transistor 51 connected to respond to pulses above a given amplitude, a pulse storage capacitor 53 which discharges via resistor 54 after each pulse and fully charges a capacitor 55, and an amplifier 57, 58 which via a relay 50 enables a cassette recorder 26 throughout the dialling period and 20 seconds thereafter, the latter period being determined by the discharge time of capacitor 55 via the baseemitter path of transistor 57. The recording speed is preferably too slow to record speech. It is also suggested that the recorder could be turned off upon detection of dial tone.

Abstract: A copolymer is formed by reacting a tetraalkyl titanate or a partial hydrolysate thereof, in which the alkyl radicals contain 1 to 10 C atoms, with the hydrolysate of a silane of the formula <FORM:1022747/C3/1> or <FORM:1022747/C3/2> wherein R and R1 are each an alkenyl or an alkyl radical of 1 to 18 C atoms, R2 and R3 are each an alkyl radical of 1 to 7 C atoms and X is a halogen atom, as disclosed in U.S. Specification 2,512,058.  Examples 1 to 3 describe the above preparation of the copolymers and Example 4 describes the preparation of a copolymer by reaction of tetrabutyl titanate with the hydrolysate of Me3SiCl.  Uses.-The copolymers can be used per se, in solvent solutions or as aerosols for rendering water-repellent the windshields of cars, locomotives, boats and planes (see Division B2).ALSO:A water-repellent film is formed on the surface of a transparent member e.g. glass by applying thereto a silico-titanium copolymer formed by reacting a tetra-alkyl titanate or a partial hydrolysate thereof with the hydrolysate of a dialiphatic dialkoxy or dihalo silane or a mono-aliphatic trihalo-silane (see Division C3). The copolymer is usually applied as a solvent solution, e.g. by pump discharge from a container within a vehicle (airplane, car, &c) on to a windshield or windscreen.  The water-repellent films can also be formed by wiping the surface to be coated with the copolymer per se or by spraying the copolymer or a solution thereof from a spray gun or atomizer or by spraying from an aerosol container.  The surface to be coated need not be dry, so that the copolymers can be applied to the windshields of aircraft in flight during rain conditions.
