Title: Improvements in or relating to the treatment of coconuts
IPC: A23L25/00
Filed: 1947-07-08
Abstract: Skin free coconut prepared in the state of meal (see Group I) is treated to afford special properties of interest to the baking industry such as a stable non-evaporative moisture content.  In an example, 30 lbs. of meal are placed in a dough mixer, preferably steam-jacketed and mixed at a temperature of 130 DEG F, 15 lbs. of a syrup consisting of two parts invert sugar and one part water at a temperature of 130 DEG F are mixed with the meal and 15 lbs. of filtered and deodorized coconut oil obtained in the process referred to, or other edible oil such as cotton-seed oil, is then thoroughly intermixed and the whole allowed to cool.  About 5 lbs. of liquid beeswax or any edible wax is then intermixed so that the wax is spread upon the surfaces of the particles of coconut meat, with the result that the films of wax tend to inhibit moisture evaporation, thus affording a product which is relatively stabilized with respect to its moisture content.  Oil alone may be incorporated in the meal, and the coating of wax may be omitted. Glycerine, propylene glycol or fruit syrups may be used instead of invert sugar.ALSO:A method of manufacturing a skin-free coconut product comprises the steps of grinding dried coconut with the skins attached, removing oil from the resulting material and then removing the skins by subjecting the divided material to a mechanical or hydraulic separation.  The oil may be removed by means of a mechanical expeller of the Anderson type or in a press or by boiling or heating and extracting with a solvent. Where an expeller is used the meal is treated with alkalis or mineral acid and afterwards by a bleaching agent in order to lighten the colour and render the fibre fluffy and subjected to hydraulic separation. After removal of oil further grinding may take place.  In an example, 100 pounds of clean-sundried coconut containing about 4 per cent moisture, 28 per cent fibre and 68 per cent oil are ground to about 15 mesh/linear inch, warmed to 130 DEG F and passed through rolls.  The material is then formed into press cakes and subjected to pressure of 2,000 pounds/sq. inch until oil ceases to flow.  The cake on removal from the press has an oil content of 15 per cent and is reground in a hammer mill having a screen of the same size as in the preliminary grinding.  The ground meal is separated and agitated on a shaker table when about 30 lbs. meal free of skins are obtained which may be further treated to obtain a food preparation or to afford properties of interest to the baking industry (see Group VI).

Filed: 1945-07-20
Abstract: 612,317. Helicopters. LANDGRAF, F. July 20, 1945, No. 18610. Convention date, Dec. 8, 1942. [Class 4] A helicopter is provided with rotors 8, 9 equally spaced from the longitudinal axis 14 of the fuselage 1 and having their axes 10, 11 forwardly and upwardly inclined when the helicopter is in the grounded position. The rotors are rotated in opposite directions as shown by arrows a, b and are carried on outriggers 12, 13, borne by the fuselage; the rotations are synchronous to allow placing of the rotors at a distance apart less than the rotor diameters. Ailerons 17 are provided on the trailing edges of the blades 15 and are capable of being elevated or depressed as described in Specification 626,690. The centre of gravity of the fuselage is placed in front of that plane which passes through the rotor axes at a distance of about 10 p.c. of the rotor diameter and is intended to be directly below the centre of lift when flying horizontally at cruising speed. The rotor hubs 26, shown in elevation Fig. 3, and plan Fig. 7, are rotatably mounted in hollow standards 23 and carry blades 15, shown in Figs. 7 and 8, capable of being turned about their spars 30, which are secured in the hubs 26, in order to adjust the pitch of the blades under control of lever 424 by the pilot's seat. The blades 15 are attached to the spars 30 by opposing springs 70, 76 with fingers 73, 77 fastened to the spars and are turned to reduce pitch by a linkage carried within the blades and connected to cables 113 passing down through tubes 127 into the shafts 42 by which the rotors are driven; the cables 113 are secured to a vertically-sliding plate 135, which is pressed downwardly to pull cables 113 by means of a pivoted yoke 148 pressed on a flange 147 secured to plate 135. Yokes 148, 423 are shown in Fig. 25 connected by cables 431, 432 to lever 424. A difference in pitch of the two sets of rotor blades may be obtained by adjustment of a sheave 439 to which the ends of cables 431, 432 are secured. Forces to return the blades 15 when the tension of cables 113 is released are supplied by the action of centrifugal force due to the blade rotation upon the linkage for turning the blade, by means of a spring 124, and by the air load upon the rotors. The rotor driving mechanism forms the subject-matter of Specification 612,403.

Title: Systmes for identifying manifestations,for example, speech
IPC: G06K9/74
Filed: 1962-05-15
Abstract: 963, 554. Automatic speech recognition. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. May 15, 1962 [May 26, 1961], No. 18699/62. Heading G4R. In apparatus for identifying spoken words a signal representing the word is applied to circuits 11-15, Fig. 1 adapted to measure particular features or properties of the signal, the outputs being applied to thresholu circuits providing a binary representation of the input signal on five parallel leads for the actuation of five switches 22-26 each adapted to illuminate one of two lamps 40-41 as shown in Fig. 3. A disc 30 has a series of radial rows of code areas 35, Fig. 2 there being ten areas in each row each co-operating with one of the lamps. For each word of the vocabulary there is a row of areas. The areas have an opacity proportional to the logarithm of the probability that the corresponding feature will be present in the word represented. At the instant a row is aligned with the lamps, the light transmitted from an illuminated lamp is multiplied by the said logarithm. All the light transmitted is collected (added) on the photo-cell 43, the signal then produced being proportional to the logarithm of the product of the features present or absent times the probability that they will be present or absent for the corresponding word. This signal is arranged, in the form described, to be lower for a better match The lowest signal as the disc rotates is found by storing the minimum signal in a capacitor store 54 during a first revolution and comparing all the successive signals with this minimum on the next revolution, to produce a differentially timed pulse to open gates 57. There is, opposite each row of the disc a code area 38 having nine binary bits. These are gated out when gates 57 open and represent the word identified. A single hole on the disc is detected by photo-cell 48 to give an end-of-revolution pulse used for switching switch 51 to apply the output from photo-cell 43 first to the minimum signal store 54 and then to the comparator 55. The nine binary bits representing the identified word contain information to be used in aiding identification of adjacent words. For example they may contain a word classification such as "noun". Since nouns are seldom adjacent in a sentence, this classification may decide whether a word identified is a noun or not. By such means words may be distinguished such as "for" and "four", which are identical as spoken but which would probably be accompanied by words of different class. A method of preparing the disc photographically is described Instead of binary outputs the feature measuring circuits may give outputs having several alternative states, a corresponding number of lamps being provided in the unit 40, 41.

Abstract: 328,494. Tugwood, R. J., (G. M. S. Products, Inc.). June 19, 1929. Index tabs. - Filing or indexing devices such as letter folders, filing- pockets, and looseleaf sheets are provided at one edge with an integral index tab which is folded over and secured at its free edge to the sheet or body of the folder &c., thereby providing a projecting receptacle for a label or the like which is exposed through a window opening in the tab. In one form, Fig. 4, a folder comprising a rear flap 22 and front flap 23 is provided with a tab 25 on the rear flap, the folded front portion 27 of the tab being formed with an elongated slot 31 and secured by adhesive along its lower edge 29. Eyelets or the like may be provided instead of, or in addition to, adhesive for securing the edge 29. Preferably the upper edge 35 of the front flap 23 of the folder does not extend beyond the lower edge 32 of the tab, so that when the folder is in its closed condition the front flap is flush with the front 27 of the tab. A sheet of transparent material may be secured beneath the folded front of the tab to protect the surface of an inserted label. To facilitate the insertion of a label, and to provide for its thickness, the front of the folded tab may be extended downwardly to provide a portion which is folded inwardly and secured both to the body of the sheet or folder and to the portion of the tab in contact with it. Alternatively a separate slip of material may be secured beneath the lower edge of the tab. The height of the slot and the line of folding of the tab may be so arranged that the slot extends up to the line of folding, thereby dispensing with the narrow upper edge 37 shown in Fig. 4, which is liable to damage from adjacent folders. The slot may be omitted when the folder or sheet is made of transparent material or the part of the tab above an inserted label is rendered transparent. The tab is preferably only a half, or less than a half, the width of the upper edge of a folder or sheet, enabling two relatively inverted blanks to be cut from a single sheet of material, as shown in Fig. 13.
