Patent GB-792545-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of antibiotic preparations having a protracted effect
Inventor: JACOBSEN HANS
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 1956-07-24
Abstract: Antibiotic compositions having a protracted effect are prepared by coating particles of the antibiotic with an aluminium salt of a fatty acid having at least 12 carbon atoms and suspending the thus coated particles in an oil.  The particles of the antibiotic are coated either by mixing them with a solution of the aluminium salt in an organic solvent in which the antibiotic is practically insoluble, and then evaporating the solvent and, if necessary, breaking down the lumps formed, or both the antibiotic and aluminium salt may be dissolved in a neutral solvent and then co-precipitated and the precipitate separated and dried. Preferred oils in which the coated particles are suspended are vegetable oils, e.g. olive oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, soya seed oil, cotton seed oil and corn oil in mixtures, but any oil which is an ester of a fatty acid of greater than 12 carbon atoms may be used, e.g. ethyl oleate.  If the preparations are to be used for external application, a mineral oil ointment base such as liquid paraffin or petroleum jelly may be used. The preferred aluminium salt is aluminium monostearate.  In order that the compositions may have a pronounced initial effect, uncoated particles of an antibiotic may also be suspended in the oil.

Title: Lubricating compositions
IPC: C10M169/00
Filed: 1951-10-02
Abstract: A lubricating composition, especially suitable for use in heavy duty engines, comprises a lubricating oil having incorporated therein a minor proportion of a salt of a condensation product of an aldehyde with an aromatic compound of Formula I, and a minor proportion of a salt of an aromatic compound of Formula II or of a reaction product of a sulphur halide with a salt of an aromatic compound of Formula II.  Formula I is Rm-Ar-R1n-Xq, where Ar is a mono- or poly-nuclear aromatic radicle, R is an alkyl alkoxy, aroxy or aralkyl radicle, R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radicle, X is a non-hydrocarbon substituent, m is 1, 2 or 3, n is zero, 1 or 2 and q is 1 or a higher integer, at least one of the X's having a reactive hydrogen atom, i.e. a hydrogen atom capable of being replaced by a metal atom to form a salt.  Formula II is <FORM:0705320/III/1> where Ar is a mono- or poly-nuclear aromatic radicle, R is a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon radicle, X is oxygen, sulphur, selenium or tellurium and y is 1, 2 or 3.  The lubricating oil may be a mineral oil, a synthetic oil, or a blend of mineral oil with a fatty oil such as castor oil or lard oil, or a blend of synthetic oil with mineral and/or fatty oil.  Synthetic oils are discussed under the following headings:-(a) hydrocarbon oils, (b) voltolized oils, (c) ester oils, (d) alkylene oxide and alkylene glycol polymers and copolymers, (e) sulphur-containing polymers and copolymers, (f) polymers of oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds, (g) silicone polymers and (h) fluorocarbon oils.  The aldehydes which may be condensed with an aromatic compound of Formula I may be aliphatic, aromatic or other cyclic aldehydes such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde and furfuraldehyde, and the salts of the resulting condensation products may be metal salts.  The salts of aromatic compounds of Formula II are preferably polyvalent metal salts.  The lubricating compositions may contain additional ingredients such as oxidation and corrosion inhibitors, detergents, oiliness agents, extreme pressure agents, anti-wear agents, blooming agents, pour point depressants, viscosity improvers, and anti-foaming agents.  Specific examples are given of many of these classes of additional ingredients. Among the examples, mineral lubricating oil compositions are described containing (i) calcium salt of a p-octylphenolformaldehyde condensation product and (ii) barium 4-tertiary-butyl-phenol-2-sulphonate or magnesium-waxphenol sulphonate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of magnesium by the thermal reduction of magnesiferous raw materials
IPC: C22B26/22
Filed: 1938-08-09
Abstract: In the reduction of magnesium compounds by means of silicon, aluminium, calcium silicide, calcium carbide, or like agents which yield non-gaseous oxidation products, the heat for effecting the reaction is generated by direct passage of electric current through a mixture of carbon or graphite granules and moulded masses of the reaction mixture consisting of the magnesium compound and reducing agent.  The process may be carried out in hydrogen or in vacuo in a horizontal rotary drum furnace the end walls of which are lined with carbon bricks, or in a shaft or other stationary furnace, and in some cases the furnace may be preheated.

Title: Improvements in calorimetric apparatus
IPC: G01N25/40
Filed: 1937-08-27
Abstract: 476,860. Calorimeters: KINGS PATENT AGENCY, Ltd. (Reineke, J. H.) Aug. 27, 1937, No. 23510. [Class 97 (iii)] In a liquid-flow calorimeter for measuring the calorific value of gaseous or liquid fuel, a flow of liquid, e.g. water, is divided into two parts at a constant ratio, one part being directed into a fuel container to displace fuel therefrom. to a burner and the other part being passed through the calorimeter to absorb the heat from the burner. The apparatus shown comprises a vessel a and a series of fuel containers b which are connected to the burner f through a pipe e. A flow of water from the float regulator i and cock t passes to the tube k and pipe c, from which part passes into the containers b and drives the fuel to the burner f and the remainder passes through pipe c<1> to the calorimeter d and then through the pipe c<2> to the vessel a. Since the water maintains the same level in the vessel a, containers b and tube k, the ratio of the volume of water passing through the calorimeter d to the volume of fuel supplied to the burner is maintained constant and this ratio may be varied as desired by closing one or more of the cocks s at the entrances to the containers b. The calorific value is determined from the difference in temperature of the cooling water at the inlet to and outlet from the calorimeter. A measuring cycle is completed when the water level reaches the top of the vessel a. A siphon m then empties the system, the water from the pipe c being byepassed to the siphon through the mercury valve o, and the water in the containers b being replaced by fresh fuel entering through the diaphragm non-return valve g.

Abstract: 445,084. Thermionic valves. TELEFUNKEN GES. FUR DRAHTLOSE TELEGRAPHIE, 12, Hallesches Ufer, Berlin. Aug. 21, 1935, No. 23524. Convention date, Aug. 21, 1934. [Class 39 (i)] In. split-anode magnetrons for generating ultrashort waves, four or more anode segments are connected together in pairs by short connections at both ends. A resonant system such as Lecher wires L is connected at its two poles to such interconnected pairs of segments S<1>1, S<11>1, S<1>2, S<11>2 and is excited due to the negative resistance effect resulting from the gaps between adjacent anode segments. Self-oscillations arising in the connected pairs of segments reduce the efficiency when the generated frequency is increased towards the frequency of such self-oscillations and the latter frequency is increased by the connections at both ends. Disturbances due to peripheral self-oscillations in individual anode segments are reduced by connecting together the pairs of segments by more than one wire at both ends. These wires may be replaced by metal strips C, D apertured to pass the cathode K and spaced apart to avoid capacity effects. The strip C connecting the pair S<1>1, S<11>1 is outside the other strip D at one end and inside the corresponding strip D at the other end so that the segments are of equal length, and the emissive area of the cathode K is restricted to avoid waste currents passing to the strips. More than four anode segments may be connected into two groups by interconnecting at their crossing points the connections between pairs of segments or by star-shaped discs at the ends of the segments.

Title: Improvements in or relating to regulating apparatus for the fuel injection pumps of internal combustion engines
IPC: F02D1/06
Filed: 1961-06-29
Abstract: 920,239. Speed governors. PRECISION MECANIQUE LABINAL. June 29, 1961 [July 29, 1960], No. 23609/61. Class 57. In a governor for an I.C. engine, of the type comprising a chamber closed by a movable or deformable wall, for example a diaphragm, connected to the regulating member, for example a rack, of the fuel injection pump, the chamber communicating with the air inlet pipe of the engine whereby the wall is subjected to the depression in the air inlet pipe against the action of at least one spring, throttling means are provided to increase the minimum section of communication between the air inlet pipe and the chamber proportionately with decrease of pressure in the air inlet pipe. The control rack 3 of a diesel engine fuel injection pump is actuated by a diaphragm 5 exposed to the depression in the engine induction pipe 1 through a pipe 6, antechamber 9 and a hollow spindle 12, the spindle being connected to the diaphragm so as to move with it. When the depression is low, the diaphragm 5 is in its extreme left-hand position, and the interior of the spindle 12 communicates with the antechamber 9 only through an orifice 15. The throttling effect of the orifice 15 prevents the pulsations occurring in the induction pipe 1 at low speeds from causing oscillation of the diaphragm 5. Additionally, a lost-motion connection 18b, 19 prevents any oscillations from being passed on to the rack 3. When the engine speed increases, the consequential increase in the depression causes the diaphragm 5 and spindle 12 to move towards the right against the action of a spring 8 whereby orifices 16a, 16b, 16c are successively uncovered as the spindle protrudes further into the antechamber 9. The combined area of the orifices is such that there is no longer any appreciable throttling between the induction pipe 1 and the diaphragm 5, and the latter can therefore respond quickly to any sudden changes in the depression.
