Abstract: 1508818 Cleaning by liquid jets GEORGIA PACIFIC CORP 19 Aug 1975 [4 Nov 1974]  34470/75 Heading A4F [Also in Division G3] To clean the inside surface of a chemical reaction tank 16, a nozzle arrangement is used which sprays at least one jet of a cleaning liquid such as water on to the surface such that the axis 150 of the jet is inclined at an acute angle A to the surface, and the nozzle arrangement is automatically driven so as to scan the inside surface while maintaining both the angle A and the nozzle-to-surface spacing X constant. As shown four nozzles 20 are used at the ends of radial arms 36 pivotally attached to the bottom of a shaft 22, each nozzle providing two jets of liquid with axes 150 (Fig. 7). A motor 30 drives a hoist cable 26 for raising and lowering the shaft 22 and thus the nozzles 20. A head 44 is driven by a drive 50 and motor 52 to move along the shaft 22 such that links 40 coupled between the head 44 and the arms 36 cause the arms 36 to fold up or unfold relative to the shaft 22 thereby controlling the radial displacement of the nozzles 20. A motor 58 (Fig. 5) and crank 116 are operative to provide the nozzles with an oscillating rotary movement through a predetermined arc, and a motor 66 can position the shaft 22 and thus the nozzles 20 in indexed rotary positions outside this arc. The motors 30, 52, 58 and 66 are controlled by a digital computer 82, information about the position of the nozzles 20 being fed back by encoders 84-90. The computer 82 is programmed for a particular tank shape, e.g. a tank containing baffles 62, the baffles themselves being cleaned by control of the nozzles 20 by motor 66. The entire cleaning apparatus is supported by a derrick 10 which as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 may run on rails 14 so that it is positionable to clean any one of a series of tanks 16.

Abstract: 282,766. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (Assignees of -Hull, A. W.). Dec. 23, 1926, [Convention date]. Vacuum tubes. low-pressure metallic-vapour appa - ratus. - A gas filled rectifier or lamp has an elongated tubular cathode internally coated with electron-emitting material and heated by an internal heater, and an anode arranged parallel to the axis of the cathode and behind the open end of the cathode so as to be out of line with the internal portion of the cathode. As shown in Fig. 1, the cathode 10 consists of a tube of nickel, nickel alloy or molybdenum, open at one end and coated internally with one or more of the alkaline earth metal oxides, azides of rare earth metals such as cerium, or with misch metal. A heating coil 13 of tungsten is supported by a central rod 16 insulated by a coating of thoria or magnesia. A cylindrical anode 4 of nickel, molybdenum, or carbon, clamped around a sleeve by a band 6 closely surrounds the cathode and retains its heat. Particles of the coating driven off from the cathode are deposited elsewhere inside the cathode. The bulb contains a filling of one or more rare gases such as argon and neon at a pressure of 1-100 microns, or a small quantity of mercury 19 may be inserted in the bulb; the pressure of the filling is insufficient to produce an arc discharge. In order to increase the internal surface the cathode may consist of a helical plate closed at one end or of a double-walled cylinder. In a modification, the space between the anode and the cathode is filled with a refractory insulating material such as alumina or magnesia in which a helical heating wire is embedded. In another arrangement, the anode consists of a disc mounted transversely to the open end of the cathode. In the tube shown in Fig. 5, a disc anode 27 is mounted inside a metal cylinder 37 carrying a wire screen 38 forming a control electrode, and the cathode consists of a tube 28 with an internal heater 29. Specification 263,111 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also an arrangement in which the anode consists of a disc mounted transversely to the open end of the cathode.

Title: Improved process for the production of threads, films, bands and like products from viscose
IPC: D01F2/08
Filed: 1954-12-03
Abstract: Artificial threads, films and like products are produced by extruding viscose into a coagulating bath containing sulphuric acid, sodium sulphate, at least 0.5 per cent of zinc sulphate, a small proportion of a cation-active substance which is a quaternary ammonium salt derivative of pyridine (or a homologue thereof) in which an aliphatic chain containing more than 6 carbon atoms is attached to the pyridine nitrogen atom, and a small proportion of a second cation-active substance which is the reaction product of ethylene oxide and the amide of a fatty acid containing not less than 12 carbon atoms in the molecule, said amide also containing amino groups.  In an example a viscose containing 7.3 per cent by weight of cellulose and 6.8 per cent by weight of caustic soda and having an ammonium chloride number of 11.5 is extruded into a spin bath at 70 DEG  C. containing 7.4 per cent by weight of sulphuric acid, 16.9 per cent by weight of sodium sulphate, 3.5 per cent by weight of zinc sulphate, 10 mg. per kg. of "Antarox G-100" (a reaction product of ethylene oxide and an amide formed by reacting sperm oil with such an excess of a polyamine that only some of the amino groups are converted into amido groups, 15-19 mols. of ethylene oxide being reacted per mol. of the amide), and 25 mg. per kg. of lauryl pyridinium chloride.  Dodecyl pyridinium hydroxide, chloride, bromide or iodide, hexadecyl pyridinium iodide, octadecyl pyridinium bromide or lauryl pyridinium sulphate may be used instead of lauryl pyridinium chloride.  The addition of the pyridine derivative to the spin bath as well as the "Antarox G-100" enables the concentration of the latter required for the prevention of deposits in the spin bath to be reduced.  Sepcifications 469,817 and 478,774, [both in Group IV], are referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to nickel-molybdenum-iron alloys
Inventor: FLINT GEORGE NORMAN
IPC: C22C19/05
Filed: 1956-11-19
Abstract: A nickel-base alloy, welded joints of which are resistant to corrosion by acids, has the following composition: Mo 20-35 per cent; Fe up to 15 per cent; V 1.2-2.3 per cent; Co 0-5 per cent; Cr 0-5 per cent; Si 0-1.0 per cent; Mn 0-3 per cent; Al 0-2 per cent; Cu 0-0.5 per cent; C up to 0.25 per cent; W to replace an equal amount of Mo up to 10 per cent.  The balance, except for residual deoxidizers, is Ni.  When both Si and Cr are present the expression: 2(%Mo-20) + 5(%V-1.2) + 10(%Si-0.2) + %Cr does not exceed 30 and when some Mo is replaced by W, the first term becomes: 2(%Mo + %W-20).  The alloys may be subjected to a carbide-coarsening heat-treatment before being welded, by heating to between 1175 DEG C. and 1315 DEG C., cooling to 1150 DEG -900 DEG C. and holding within that range long enough to allow the carbon in solution to re-precipitate on existing carbide particles.  The alloy is then air-cooled.  An alternative heat-treatment may be effected by oscillating the treatment temperature between values above 1175 DEG C. and values within the range 1150 DEG C to 900 DEG C. and then rapidly cooling the alloy e.g. in air.  The Provisional Specification also describes an alloy of similar composition but having a content of V ranging from 1.2 to 2.5 per cent, and a content of Si up to 1.5 per cent.  Specification 542,851 is referred to.
