Patent GB-2437147-A (GB)
Title: Pharmaceutical device for the administration of substances to patients
Inventor: COSTA SAMODH DE
IPC: A61K35/08
Filed: 2006-11-21
Abstract: Biological materials such as vaccines can be stabilised in certain glassy materials soluble in water. It has been proposed to form these glassy materials as a powder suspended in a non-aqueous liquid for injection into a patient. This method is complicated by the need to find suitable compatible liquids and to stop the glassy particles from congregating in liquid. These problems have been obviated by supporting the glassy material on a porous membrane <B>5</B> remote from the eluant. When the biological material requires administration, the eluant can be passed across the membrane <B>5</B> dissolving the glass and causing the substance to be carried by the liquid into the patient.

Title: Methods of constructing and installing rigid riser structures and associated apparatus
Inventor: BRANCHUT JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: E21B17/01
Filed: 2009-12-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of fabricating and installing a riser tower structure comprising the steps of installing a central core 210 and means 220 to tension the core, such that the central core extends from the seabed toward the surface and is suspended by the tensioning means at, or near the sea surface, thereby forming a central core structure. An elongate conduit 285 is then lowered on a line 290 and suspended from an upper part of the central core structure. The suspended elongate conduit is located into guide means 240 located at one or more points along the length of the central core. The previous steps are then repeated for successive conduits. Following installation of the elongate conduits, the method further includes lowering a flexible conduit (700 figure 7) from the surface to the top end of one of the elongate conduits, the flexible conduit thereby connecting a respective elongate conduit to a surface facility. This last step is repeatable for the other elongate conduits to connect all of them to a surface facility. The invention also relates to a buoyancy device that enables the step-by-step location of the elongate conduits, a guide frame mountable to the central core to guide the suspended elongate conduits and a pulley system to aid locating the conduits into the body of the guide frame.

Title: Improvements in or relating to comminuting apparatus
Inventor: MADDOX CHARLES HOWARD MATTHEW
IPC: B02C23/00
Filed: 1962-07-30
Abstract: 935,838. Garbage disposal apparatus. MADDOX, HILL Ltd. July 30, 1962, No. 10032/60. Class 59. Garbage disposal apparatus comprises a conical impeller 5 located in a chamber 2 and having breakers coacting with the teeth of a cutter ring 1, the impeller having an integral helical thread 6 slidable with an axial and rotational movement on a mating helical thread 7 integral with a motor shaft 8, the comminuted waste which passes through the cutter ring being discharged from the outlet 12 of a chamber 11 by means of an impeller 14 secured to the motor shaft, and water under pressure being supplied to the space between the impeller 5 and cutter ring 1 by means of an impeller 17 secured to the motor shaft. A helical twist spring 10 acts between impeller 5 and an adjustable stop 9. The motor 13 includes a capacitor 15 and an automatic overload switch 16. In operation, the spring 10 exerts a downward axial thrust slightly in excess of the upward axial thrust produced by the threads 6, 7 when transmitting the normal running torque of the motor. If, however, a breaker on impeller 5 strikes an obstruction which cannot be sheared, the impeller stops so stalling the motor which is stopped after a predetermined time by the switch 16. After a further time, the switch again operates to start the motor via capacitor 15 thus producing an increased torque such that the upward axial thrust between the threads 6, 7 overcomes the action of spring 10 to cause the impeller 5 to rise axially to clear the obstruction.

Title: Isomerisation process
IPC: C07C5/27
Filed: 1963-03-14
Abstract: A process for the isomerization of an acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon which is capable of undergoing skeletal rearrangement and/or double bond shift comprises contacting the hydrocarbon with a catalyst consisting of a partially hydrated sulphate of a metal from Group II, III, IV, VI, VII or VIII of Mendeleef's Periodic Table.  "Partially hydrated" sulphate means a sulphate containing a number of associated molecules of water of crystallization fewer than the maximum possible.  Particular catalysts disclosed are FeSO42H2O (obtained from FeSO47H2O), MgSO41H2O (obtained from MgSO47H2O), Cr2(SO4)35H2O (from Cr2(SO4)315H2O), Al2(SO4)34H2O and Al2 (SO4)31H2O (from Al2(SO4)316H2O), the sulphates of chromium and aluminium being preferred. The sulphates may be prepared by partial dehydration of the fully dehydrated form and preferably have a surface area of at least 1 sq. m. per gm.  The catalyst and hydro-carbon feed may be contacted when the latter is in the vapour phase, preferably above 50 DEG  C., but essentially below the temperature at which the catalyst fully dehydrates.  An L.H.S.V. of 0.1 to 10 vol./vol. may be used. Optionally, an inert diluent, e.g. N2, is added.  The feed hydro-carbon preferably contains less than 20 carbon atoms and is particularly a C4 to C6 molecule, e.g. 3,3-dimethylbutene-1; 4-methylpentene-1. In Examples (1)-(7), 4-methylpentene-1 is contacted with partially dehydrated sulphates of Fe, Cr, Mg and Al at 150 DEG  and 200 DEG  C., and products containing amounts of 14-31% 2-methylpentene-2, 4-9% 2-methylpentene-1, 3-9% 3-methylpentene-2 (cis and trans forms) and from 54-79% unchanged feed plus 4-methylpentene-1 (cis a9d trans) are obtained (all percentages by volume).
