Title: Improvements in or relating to mercury manometers, particularly sphygmomanometers
IPC: A61B5/023
Filed: 1952-04-15
Abstract: 696,537. Pressure gauges. HESSE, H. April 15, 1952 [Oct. 1, 1951; Oct. 31, 1951], No. 9422/52. Class 106 (ii). [Also in Group VI] A mercury manometer, Fig. 2, closed at one end 11 to provide a compression space 5 for gas trapped above the mercury column 3, has a branch conduit 25 in the closed limb above the zero level of the mercury, the branch conduit 25 being closed by a plug 13 which is permeable to air but impermeable to mercury. The plug 13 may be a ceramic mass or a leather disc. The closed end 11 enables the mano. meter to be of compact form in that the pressure of the trapped gas sup. plements the hydrostatic pressure due to the mercury column. At zerc pressure the manometer tube is vented to th( surrounding atmosphere through the plug 13 with the result that the pressure in the com. pression space is made equal to the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. The pressure in the compression space may otherwise vary in an uncontrollable way, for example, owing to temperature changes. The plug 13 thus renders the apparatus suitable for use as a sphygmomanometer. In a modification, Fig. 1, the plug 13 is held in position by two blocks 14 and 15 connected together by screws 16. One block 14 has a bore 18 permitting air to flow through the plug 13. The other block 15 has a mercury level inspection bore 17. To prevent a mercury plug, formed by turning the manometer tube to a horizontal position, e.g. during transport, from being retained in the tube 5 by reduced pressure in the compression space when the apparatus is restored to the vertical position, a split concentric tube 26 of synthetic resin or resilient material is inserted into the manometer tube 5 as shown in Fig. 4. This tube 26 effects the dissipation of any mercury plug so formed. The apparatus shown in Fig. 2 has the advantage that the mercury rising in the conduit 25 fills the latter when the mercury is only about one-third up the closed branch 11 ; thus the lower third of the scale is compressed with respect to the upper twothirds and this offsets the compression of the upper part of the scale which results from the effect of the compression space 11. The scale is thus substantially uniform.

Title: A process for the preparation of cream and butter
IPC: A23C15/02
Filed: 1937-04-05
Abstract: Centrifuged or recentrifuged cream having a fat content equal to or higher than that of butter is treated to withdraw the air therefrom by passing it in a thin layer or film through a vessel which may be heated or cooled and in which it is simultaneously subjected to vacuum, the cream being then standardized to the composition desired, e.g. by accumulating it in bulk and agitating it to mix the ingredients thereof, the cream being next delivered while sufficiently fluid under vacuum or atmospheric pressure into containers capable of being hermetically sealed, the containers being then heated to destroy practically all bacteria and spores in the cream which is then cooled.  The containers after sealing may be subjected in an autoclave or like apparatus to the heat treatment and may then be rapidly cooled, e.g. by immersion in a cold liquid, the cream being thereby converted into the form of newly churned butter in a granulated state. Alternatively, the cooling may be effected slowly and the product may be treated or worked for conversion into butter when required. The cream treated may be obtained by centrifuging milk to give a cream of 30-40 per cent fat content which is then heated to pasteurizing temperature or to 135-145 DEG  F., and recentrifuged to give a cream having a fat content of 80 per cent or higher.  The first centrifuging may be dispensed with.  The cream may be distributed centrifugally into the thin layer or film for the vacuum treatment.ALSO:Centrifuged or recentrifuged cream having a fat content equal to or higher than that of butter, is treated to withdraw the air therefrom by passing it in a thin layer or film through a vessel which may be heated or cooled and in which it is simultaneously subjected to vacuum, the cream being then standardized to the composition desired, e.g. by accumulating it in bulk and agitating it to mix the ingredients thereof, the cream being next delivered while sufficiently fluid under vacuum or atmospheric pressure into containers capable of being hermetically sealed, the containers being then heated to destroy practically all bacteria and spores in the cream which is then cooled.

Title: Method and apparatus for deriving a fixed phase alternating potential from an indeterminate phase alternating potential
IPC: G05D3/16
Filed: 1951-04-26
Abstract: 703,773. Control of A.C. motors; electromagnetic interrupters. BRISTOL CO. April 26, 1951, No. 9753/51. Classes 38(3) and 38(5) [Also in Groups XXXV and XXXVI] The invention relates to a method and apparatus for deriving from an alternating potential of indeterminate phase relation to a reference potential, an alternating potential of the same frequency as, and of constant phase relation to, the reference potential and of amplitude variable with the indeterminate phase relation. A bridge 10 is fed from a reference potential 17 and, when in an unbalanced condition, produces a potential A of constant amplitude and of variable phase relation to the reference potential 17. This potential is converted into a unidirectional potential B by means of part of a synchronous contactor 30, which may be of either a rotary or a vibratory type, which unidirectional potential is then applied to a filter network 53, 54, 56, 57 to eliminate the alternating component therefrom. The filtered potential C is then converted to an alternating potential of square wave form by the other part of the synchronous contactor 30, this latter alternating potential D being applied to a filter amplifier 31 to produce an alternating potential E 'of sinusoidal wave-form having a fixed phase relation to the reference potential 17 and of the same frequency, the amplitude of the potential E being directly dependent on the out of phase relation of the potential A with the potential 17. The bridge 10 and the motor 25 may comprise an electrical measuring instrument such that when the bridge goes out of balance the resulting potential E, applied to a field winding 28 of the motor, causes the motor to rotate to vary one arm of the bridge to restore the balance thereof. The field winding 27 is fed from the reference potential over a condenser, then the phase relationship of the potentials applied to both field windings is fixed irrespective of the variable phase relation of the potential A. The vibratory and rotary contactor 30 is energized from the reference potential 17 and is arranged so that the energisation thereof is adjustable to give any desired phase relationship between the potential E and the potential 17. One arrangement of vibratory contactor 30 comprises a permanent magnet member 32 provided with two pole shoes to give two air gaps in which is arranged to vibrate a member 33 energized by a winding 34 fed from an alternating current source, such as 17. The member 33 is pivoted at its centre and is provided with contacts 35, 38 which co-operate with fixed contacts 36, 37, 39, 40. Moving contact 35 performs the rectifying function, the inverting function being carried out by contact 38. Specification 703,772 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to time-division multiplex telecommunications systems
IPC: F16H15/10
Filed: 1960-03-18
Abstract: 936,836. Automatic exchange systems. TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L. M. ERICSSON. March 18, 1960 [March 31, 1959], No. 9792/60. Class 40 (4). In an arrangement in which a condenser is required to be charged, in a prescribed time, to a prescribed reference potential, the reference potential is connected to the condenser over a resistance-inductance circuit, to form a less than critically damped oscillatory circuit in which the condenser acquires the reference potential at the end of the prescribed time irrespective of the value of its potential at the beginning of the prescribed time. The invention is applied to the provision of tone signals (e.g. busy tone) to a system of the " resonant transfer " type. Conversation between subscribers A1, A2 takes place by closing electronic switches K 1 , K 2  repeatedly at a given time position in a cycle, both way transfer of charge between condensers C 1 , C 2  taking place each time the switches are closed. Circuit Sk 1  shows a known method of providing tone from a source S (shown as a slowly varying D.C. source). Since the source S may be required to be connected to several subscribers simultaneously switch Ks is closed to charge condenser Cs between consecutive pulse positions. However during connection say to subscriber A1 charge from condenser C 1  is transferred to Cs so that charging of Cs may start from different values whereby the value of the charge at the end of its exponential rise varies slightly. If subscriber A2 is also receiving tone and using the next pulse position in the cycle, the tone thus received will thus be modified by the speech from A1, i.e. cross-talk will occur. In the arrangement Sk 2 , according to the invention, the provision of a suitable inductance Lc ensures that condenser Cs reaches the reference potential of the source S exactly at the time of opening of Kc irrespective of the initial charge on Cs. The invention may also be used to discharge the highway T between pulse positions, contact Kk, resistance Rk and inductance Lk being provided for this purpose, thus the referencepotential in this case being earth. Arrangements are also indicated for utilizing the same tone source for more than one highway, Fig. 7 (not shown). Specification 836,736 is referred to.

Title: Matrix with adherently bound cells and process for producing viruses/virus antigens
Inventor: DORNER FRIEDRICH
IPC: A61K35/76
Filed: 1990-12-21
Abstract: A matrix or substrate bears adherently bound human or animal cells infected with a virus. It has been shown that surface dependent cells useful for virus multiplication remain adherently bound to a matrix even when infected with a virus, produce virus antigens over a relatively long period of time and release them in the culture medium. In order to produce early Summer meningo-encephalitis (FSME) virus antigens by cultivating the FSME virus in cell cultures, a surface dependent permanent cell line, preferably the vero-cell line ATTC CCL 81, is inoculated with the FSME virus and the cells are bound to substrates and kept in a non lytic serum free system in conditions that ensure cellular growth, so that antigens are produced. The antigen-containing medium is then separated from the substrate bound cells and processed in a known manner by concentration, inactivation and purification until a galenically acceptable composition is obtained.
