Title: Improvements in magnetic cores
IPC: H01F1/22
Filed: 1927-04-12
Abstract: 277,289. Standard Telephones & Cables, Ltd.., (Assignees of Elmen, G. W.). Sept. 11, 1926, [Convention date]. Electromagnets.-Magnetic cores are made by compressing finely-divided insulated particles of magnetic alloy having an initial permeabilty which is substantially higher than that of iron and is very sensitive to mechanical strains, and heat treating the compressed mass at a temperature sufficient to develop the magnetic and electric properties. The formed material may be raised to the desired temperature, for example, 450‹ to 800‹ C., just before compression, compressed while hot, and then placed in an oven or cooling chamber in which it is cooled to room temperature in the desired time or the finished cores may be subjected to the heat treatment at any time after the mechanical operations have been completed. The maximum temperature employed is determined by the temperature which the insulating material employed will stand without breakdown. A suitable insulating material is described in Specification 269,511. The magnetic particles, which may be of a, nickel-iron alloy, are insulated before being compressed, and the pressure, applied is sufficient to cause the density of the material to approach that of the metal forming the particles. Prior to compression a small amount of lubricant such as paraffin oil is preferably added to the insulated particles to prevent cutting or rubbing-off of the insulating material.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the adhesive bonding of surfaces and adhesive compositions (and processes of preparing the same) suitable for use therein
IPC: C09J111/00
Filed: 1943-06-30
Abstract: A method of adhesively bonding or providing a seal between surfaces comprises bringing the surfaces together after there have been applied in succession, to at least one of them: (1) a coating of a priming composition comprising (a) an aqueous dispersion of uncured or only partially cured plastic polymerized chloroprene, which dispersion has been prepared by dispersing in an aqueous vehicle particles of plastic polymerized chloroprene previously in larger aggregate, and (b) a substantial proportion of "casein," or "glue," or of a mixture of "casein" and "glue," and (2) a coating of a cement, comprising natural or synthetic rubber and organic solvent, adapted to undergo curing.  By "substantial proportion" is meant at least 5 per cent on the weight of the polymer in the aqueous dispersion.  The term "casein" includes casein and albumins, and the term "glue" includes other albuminoids of the character of gelatine. The aqueous dispersion may be prepared by milling raw Neoprene, to reduce it from its larger aggregate to particle condition, and dispersing it in water in the presence of the casein and/or glue.  An illustrative primary composition comprises masticated raw Neoprene, oleic acid, potassium hydroxide, fish glue, ammonia, a casein solution prepared from casein, borax, phenol and water, and additional water.  An illustrative selfcuring cement, for application over the primary coating, is made by mixing a mixture of raw neoprene, zinc oxide, toluene, benzene and ethyl acetate, with a mixture of raw Neoprene, salicylic acid, toluene, benzene ethyl acetate and catechol.  The coated surfaces are pressed together, and the adhesive bond will cure after some days at room temperature, or in about 5 hours at 100 DEG  C.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for continuously hardening vegetable or animal oils or hydrogenating other non-saturated compounds
IPC: C11C3/12
Filed: 1955-04-14
Abstract: <PICT:0804604/III/1> <PICT:0804604/III/2> <PICT:0804604/III/3> An apparatus, suitable for use in hydrogenating unsaturated compounds and particularly for the continuous hardening of vegetable and animal oils, comprises a plurality of individual chambers superimposed one upon the other, each chamber containing an individual heating or cooling device, an inlet for material, an overflow outlet, an inlet for purified or fresh hydrogen, an outlet for hydrogen, and a mixing device which may be either of a stationary type in which the inlets for the hydrogen and the material to be treated terminate within the device, or a stirrer, in which case the stirrer is driven by a common shaft extending through all the chambers.  As shown in Fig. 1, the apparatus comprises a unit 1 having several chambers 2, each of which has a separate inlet 3 and outlet 4 for hydrogen, which are served by common lines 5, 21, respectively.  Material to be treated, suitably oil, is passed from container 7 to heatexchanger 9 and thence to preheater 10 by pipe 11.  Catalyst contained in tank 12 is either fed to the oil by means of pump 13 at this stage, or alternatively may be fed directly to the chambers by line 35 and inlets 36, the flow being directed by valve 34.  Preheated oil is passed from tank 10 to upper chamber 2 through pipe 14 and inlet 15 (Fig. 2), where it is mixed within mixing device 16 with hydrogen fed in through inlet 3.  The chambers 2 are interconnected by oil-overflow pipes 17, each of which connects with inlet pipe 15 of the chamber immediately below.  The used hydrogen passes from the chambers by means of outlets 4 and common line 21 to purifier 22, whereafter it is recirculated by compressor 23 and lines 24 and 5 to inlets 3.  The hardened oil from the lowermost chamber passes to heat-exchanger 9 and thence, by line 27, to cooling device 28, filter press 30, and finally to container 32.  In each chamber, steam feed tubes 33 are provided, whereby the chambers may be heated.  In the alternative form shown in Fig. 3, mixing is achieved by means of paddles 40, which are rotated by means of common shaft 39.  If it is desired that hydrogenation should commence at a temperature below the optimum, hydrogen may be fed directly, by line 37, to preheater 10.

Title: Improved process for stapling continuous filaments and producing yarn therefrom
IPC: D01G1/08
Filed: 1936-04-14
Abstract: 473,552. Stapling fibres by drawing or drafting. LOHRKE, J. L. April 14, 1936, No. 10742. Convention date, April 13, 1935. [Class 120 (iii)] Yarn is produced from a sliver composed of a multiplicity of substantially continuous fibres grouped in substantial parallelism while maintaining the substantial parallelism of the fibres and the continuity of the sliver by applying tension to successive portions of the fibres to break them to over-size staple length and thereafter applying tension to the oversize staple lengths produced to break them to staple fibres having a length not greater than that desired in the yarn. The process is carried out by drafting the sliver between a group of rollers separated by a distance substantially greater than the maximum length of staple desired in the yarn so as to break the fibres to over-size staple fibres and to draft the sliver, and then passing the resulting sliver through a second group of drafting rollers having a spacing equal to the length of staple desired in the yarn, so as to break the over-size staples and to draft the sliver. Specification 376,799 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in combinations of a source of radiation with material adapted to be excited to luminescence by the radiation
IPC: C09K11/72
Filed: 1937-04-16
Abstract: 495,706. Luminescent materials. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., McKEAG, A. H., and RANDALL, J. T. April 16, 1937, Nos. 10922/37 and 1194/38. [Class 98 (i)] A luminescent material contains as essential elements cadmium, manganese, chlorine, phosphorus and oxygen in proportions to yield a crystal structure in which the unit cell is hexagonal and has axes a‹ = 9À 7A. U. and Co = 6À4A.U. Two alternative methods of preparation are described using materials known under the Registered Trade Mark " Analar," and each includes a common step. In this step, 480 gm. of cadmium sulphate is dissolved in 1500 ml. of boiling distilled water, and 160 grams of di-ammonium hydrogen orthophosphate is dissolved in 1000 ml. of boiling distilled water. 10 ml. of the second solution is added to the first solution, the precipitate filtered and discarded, the remainder of the second solution added, the precipitate filtered, washed well, and dried at 180‹ C. for three hours. The resultant is precipitate A. In the first method a solution of manganous chloride is added to precipitate A to form a paste, dried and heated in air at 925‹ C. for half an hour. It is then washed in hot distilled water and dried at 180‹ C. for 2 hours. In the second method 370 gms. manganous sulphate are dissolved in 1500 ml of boiling distilled water and 160 gms. di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate in 1000 ml. of water, the solutions mixed, and the precipitate washed and dried. This precipitate (precipitate B) is mixed with precipitate A and ordinary commercial cadmium chloride in proportions 5, 100 and 20 respectively. The substances are ground and mixed, and heated in a tubular boat at 800‹ C. for half an hour. The luminescence excited by radiation of wave length 2200-2600 ranges from orange yellow to pink. Increase in the content of manganese has the effect of increasing the excitation by the mercury line 3650 A.U. The proportion of manganese in the material may vary from 1 per cent to 20 per cent. The material may be combined with a high pressure mercury vapour discharge lamp having a quartz envelope, and may be mixed with luminescent materials which give a blue light. The applications to low pressure mercury discharge lamps and to cathode-ray tubes in conjunction with willemite are also described. Specifications 457,486, 469,731, and 473,715 are referred to.
