Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical high frequency waveguides
Inventor: DUKES JOHN MARCUS CUTHBERT
IPC: H01P1/16
Filed: 1957-05-01
Abstract: 844,076. Microwave filters; waveguides. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. May 1, 1957, No. 13872/57. Class 40(8). A rectangular metallic waveguide has a narrow dimension which is a small fraction of its broad dimension and comprises a longitudinal septum 6 which extends from one narrow wall to within a short distance of the other narrow wall. This latter distance (d) is equal to about one-third of the narrow dimension of the guide. At the cutoff frequency, the broad dimension is equal to one-quarter of a free-space wavelength. The septum may be constituted by a plate of dielectric material which extends completely from one narrow wall to the other and is coated on one or both sides with a conductive coating of the requisite width (Figs. 9, 10, not shown). When both sides of the plate are coated, the coatings are joined at intervals by metal pins inserted through the plate. The external walls of the guide may comprise two channel members clamped flange to flange. In another form of construction, two elongated dielectric slabs 22, 23, Fig. 8, are provided with copper coatings 2, 3, 6 and clamped together, the coatings being joined by pieces of copper foil 24, 25, 26. The coatings may be formed by a printing process or may consist of foil. A section of waveguide according to the invention may be joined directly to a "sandwich" type strip transmission line by connecting the central conductor 8a, Fig. 5A, of the line to the septum 6 and the outer conductors to the broad walls of the guide section. The guide section forms a high-pass filter when included in a run of strip transmission line. Suppression of the H 30  mode in the guide may be obtained by arranging the junction between the septum and the central conductor at a distance from the base of the septum equal to 2a/3, where a is the broad dimension of the guide. If suppression of the H 20  mode is desired, the guide is provided with short-circuiting pins which extend from one broad wall to the other and are insulated from the septum 6.

Title: Means for signalling the location of a sunken object
IPC: B63B22/24
Filed: 1952-09-05
Abstract: 738,579. Marine signalling-apparatus. PALLEMAERTS, J. E. H. Dec. 7, 1953 [Sept. 5, 1952], No. 14202/52. Class 118 (2). Apparatus for discharging a fluid having radio-active luminescent or visible properties from a sunken object for location purposes comprises c container for the fluid, a frangible closure for the container, means for breaking the closure, and means dependent on immersion for causing the breaking means to come into action. A container C has double steel walls 1, 2 spaced apart to receive a filling S of lead. An opening at the top is closed by a plate 9 carrying a plug 12 with a central bore sealed by a silica cap (Fig. 2, not shown). A spring- loaded plunger within protective cover 52 is positioned to impinge on a striker pin adjacent the silica cap when released but is held back by a pawl forming part of the buoyant lever B pivoted at 62 and retained in the position shown by a catch mechanism 65. An opening at the bottom is closed by a valve P (Fig. 1A, not shown) which is movable over a predetermined distance before opening ducts to admit sea water which drives out the contents of the chamber S.C. The chamber S.C. is filled with a fluid lighter than water, such as hexane or heptane, mixed with suitable characterizing material. The " lost motion " of the piston is provided for equalisation of pressure between the filling and the exterior environment while the silica seal at the top is yet unbroken. When it is required to operate the device the catch mechanism 65 is actuated by hydraulic or other means and the lever B (which is a light alloy casing filled with a light plastic) rises by virtue of its buoyancy, thereby pivoting about pin 62 and releasing the spring-loaded plunger to impinge on the striker pin and break the silica seal. Sea water enters via the bottom valve P and the contents are discharged via the bore in plug 12. The bore in the plug 12 is provided with a flexible pipe 14 having a thimble 13 at its end which floats on the surface of the rising water and ensures that substantially all the contents are discharged however the container may be tilted. Instead of radio-activity or luminescence the fluid may be rendered visible by incorporation of an intense dye; alternatively a compressed gas may be used.

Abstract: 386,518. Squirting. MOND, A. L., 19, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, London.-(I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges. ; Frankfort-on-Main, Germany.) May 20, 1932, No. 14360. [Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv).] Making bars.- Girders, tubes, &c. of progressively -diminishing thickness of metal are formed by extruding a billet e through a die b with the use of a mandrel d of rapidly tapering cross section which travels through the die. A tube so formed has a constant outer but an increasing inner diameter. Girders with flanges steadily decreasing in thickness may be similarly formed with the use of one or more tapered mandrel members. In the formation of a form g, Fig. 4b, tapered in the same direction on the inner and outer faces, the outer part of the mandrel f is formed of a series of flat springs which yield to allow the section which is of slower taper than the mandrel, to expand the mandrel freely. The mandrel d may, if necessary be detachably secured to the ram c and be formed of a number of detachable parts. The mandrel may be formed to produce a steady taper, or the billet may not be shaped exactly to fit the mandrel, but itself be formed, when cast, to produce a steady taper. The process is applicable to alloys of copper, lead, aluminium, and magnesium, and to girders for aircraft.

Patent GB-641801-A (GB)
Title: A process for the production of metal oxides
IPC: C22B1/08
Filed: 1947-06-02
Abstract: In a process for the production of metal oxides by chlorinating oxidic ores in the presence of carbon and thereupon decomposing the chlorides formed with substantial excess of oxygen, the oxygen content of the chlorine-oxygen mixture derived from the decomposition is burnt with carbon or carbon-containing material to form carbon monoxide as the principal final combustion product in one or two reaction stages, and the hot gas mixture is used for the chlorination of more ore.  Thus, the chlorine-oxygen mixture may be passed through a bed of red hot solid carbonaceous material which may be disposed at the lower part of the chlorination furnace, or it may be reacted with acetylene, vaporized oil, benzene, &c., or preferably, carbon monoxide whereby carbon dioxide is first formed which is reduced to carbon monoxide in the chlorination zone, which for this purpose contains extra carbon. Instead of pure carbon monoxide, there may be used part of the waste gases from the chlorination zone, after separation of the metal chloride.  Examples describe the chlorination of rutile, and baddeleyite, followed by the decomposition of the titanium and zirconium chlorides produced.  Reference is also made to the production of iron oxide.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the modification of fatty oils
Inventor: BARSKY GEORGE
IPC: B01D3/14
Filed: 1958-05-08
Abstract: Glyceride fatty oils are modified to replace combined lower fatty acids (C6-C10 acids) therein by higher fatty acids (C12-C22 acids) by a continuous process comprising passing a mixture of the oil and higher fatty acid containing at least a 30% molar excess of the latter relative to the combined lower fatty acids in the oil, through a reaction zone, heating the said zone to cause acid interchange to take place therein with distilling off of vapours containing liberated lower fatty acids, rectifying the vapours to condense any entrained higher fatty acids and return them to the reaction zone, passing the reacted oil through a stripping zone to vaporize free higher fatty acid from the oil, introducing fresh fatty oil incorporating make-up higher <PICT:0867852/III/1> fatty acid into the path of the vaporized higher fatty acid to absorb the same and passing the mixture of fresh oil and higher fatty acid to the reaction zone.  As shown, coconut oil admixed with higher fatty acid (preferably C12-C18 acids) is fed via pipe 1, heat exchanger 2 and pipe 3 to a distributer 6 in the head of a column 7 of a deacidification zone and passes from the column base via pipes 11, 13 to a mid-section of a bubble-cap column 14.  Acid-interchange occurs in the lower section where heat is provided by coils 17 and the liberated acids are distilled off as overheads.  Reacted fatty oil containing unchanged higher fatty acid flows from the column base and is fed via pipe 21 to the boiler section 22 of the deacidification zone heated by coils 23.  The higher fatty acids distil off from the modified oil, if desired with the aid of steam, and are absorbed in the fresh oil feed in the superimposed column and recycled to the reaction zone via pipe 11; the modified fatty oil substantially acid-free is withdrawn from the deacidification zone via pipe 25 and the heat-exchanger.  The whole apparatus is preferably operated under reduced pressure, the pressure in the deacidification zone being maintained lower than that in column 14.  In place of column 14 there may be used a packed tower or a series of chambers or kettles.  The liberated lower fatty acids may be fractionally condensed.  Palm kernel oil, tucum oil and babassu oil may be modified by the above method.  The fatty acids may be refined before treatment and if desired hydrogenated before or after modification.  U.S.A.
