Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DK96/00002 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 7, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 7, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 4, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/20873 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 11, 1996In carton boxes of that particular dispenser type, where the broad front side (2) of the box exhibits a dispenser opening, which is internally covered by a slide panel (18) with an opening (20), the slide panel is displaceable into a dispensing position by an outward pivoting of an associated end flap (26) of the box. The slide panel is prevented from falling into the box in that it has laterally projecting side flaps (28) which ride on the top edges of inner, upright side wall portions (8) of the box, this riding engagement being secured by the side flaps being folded down along the upper, exterior area of the side wall portions (8). Outer side wall portions (12) folded own from the front or top panel (2) are at their lower edge area welded or glued to the root zone of the inner, upright side wall portions. The associated folding of the said side flaps (28) may result in an inward pivoting of the inner side wall portions (8), which in turn disables a perfect face-to-face engagement in the lower joining zone (A, B) between the side wall portions. According to the invention this drawback is eliminated in arranging for a longitudinal cutting line (C) near the middle of the inner side wall portion (8), such that by the folding down of the side flap (28) it will only be the strip area above this line which is forced inwardly, while the remaining lowermost strip area can be joined safely face to face with the outer side wall portion (12).

Patent GB-695583-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of para-xylene
IPC: C07C5/27
Filed: 1951-01-17
Abstract: Meta-xylene is isomerized to para-xylene by contacting a meta-xylene-containing feed with a catalyst selected from the oxides and sulphides of metals of Group VI of the Periodic Table at a temperature in the range 800-1150 DEG  F. in the presence of hydrogen, recovering para-xylene from the isomerized product and resubjecting the unconverted meta-xylene to the catalyst contacting treatment for further isomerization.  The catalyst used is preferably an oxide or sulphide of chromium, tungsten or molybdenium on a carrier such as alumina, zinc oxide, silica, magnesia and spinel. Pressure is preferably in the range 50 to 500 lbs. per sq. in. gauge. The feed stock may be substantially pure meta-xylene or may be a meta-xylene containing fraction which contains other aromatic hydrocarbons having -8 carbon atoms in the molecule, for example, orthoxylene and ethylbenzene.  The feed stock may also be a naphthenic hydrocarbon fraction boiling in the range 200-350 DEG  F. Following the isomerization of meta-xylene to paraxylene the product may be subjected to a fractional distillation to remove all toluene and C9 and heavier aromatic hydrocarbons, leaving a product enriched in para-xylene from which the para-xylene may be separated by chilling to form a slurry of para-xylene in mother liquor and centrifuging this.  The filtrate is mixed with the feed and subjected to recantact with the catalyst.  In the example a meta-xylene concentrate containing 96 per cent by volume of meta-xylene is contacted with a supported molybdenum oxide catalyst in the presence of hydrogen; the C8 aromatic fraction obtained contained a mixture of ethyl benzene, orthoxylene, meta-xylene and para-xylene, the metaxylene from which was recycled.

Title: Airspeed Warning Device
IPC: G01P5/175
Filed: 1967-01-11
Abstract: 1,158,452. Aircraft safe-speed indicators. LEAR SIEGLER, Inc. Jan. 11, 1967 [Jan. 27, 1966], No. 1516/67. Heading G1L. An air-speed warning indicator on an aircraft comprises altitude and air-speed-responsive capsules 26, 28 co-operating, through levers 33, 38, with a relay 46 operating to give an indication continuously, despite change of altitude, so long as the air-speed of the aircraft exceeds the maximum allowable for its altitude, the maxima for different altitudes being determined in accordance with a selected load and/or flight plan, and a screw 79 for adjusting a stop bar 41B to set the position of the contacts 36, 37 for the plan selected. The inside of the housing 24 is open to the static pressure, the inside of capsule 28 is connected to the pitot tube and the capsule 26 is evacuated. An alarm or indication is operated when the relay 46 is de-energized upon opening contacts 36, 37 or upon opening contacts 51, 52 if a switch 50, Fig. 3, has been previously opened. At low altitudes with the capsule 26 collapsed, the floating lever 33 rests on a stop 41; then from, say, 1, 000 to 22, 500 ft. the lever 33 tends to pivot about the stop 41 as the capsule 26 expands and the contact 36 on the lever 33 forces the contact 37 to rise with it. At, say, 22, 500 ft. the lever 33 engages a stop 42 which then acts as pivot point while the contact 36 begins to move downwards. During normal speeds a spring 40 makes the contact 37 follow the contact 36 but if the safe limit is exceeded the capsule 28 forces the contact 37 to break away from the contact 36 and a warning is given until the speed is reduced to a safe level. By means of an arm 76, the capsule 28 can open contacts 51, 52 above a certain speed and, if the switch 50 is open, they can be made to control the warning indicator in the intermediate altitude range. The law determining the speed at which a warning is to be given at lower altitudes is determined by the setting of the stops 42, 41. The stop 41, carried by a plate 78 on leaf springs 78A, can be adjusted by a screw 79 operated through a worm 83 by a knurled knob 85 provided with pointer and scale to indicate the law selected.
