Title: Improvements in Wireless Signalling.
Inventor: FESSENDEN REGINALD AUBREY
Filed: 1908-09-29
Granted: 1909-10-29
Abstract: 20,466. Fessenden, R. A. Oct. 10, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Wireless telegraphy.-In a system of wireless signalling, a message is sent by transmitting radiations corresponding to the spaces instead of to dots and dashes. At the receiving-station a continuous sound is produced by local means in the receiving-telephone, and the effect of the received oscillations is to annul this sound, so that the message transmitted in the form of spaces is heard as dots and dashes as usual. In one form of receiving-instrument adapted for this purpose of re-inversion of the message, varying magnetization of suitable frequency is induced on a moving endless iron wire 41, Fig. 3, in the manner of a telegraphone. Any portion of the wire which carries this varying magnetization causes a telephone 52 to sound by its motion past the poles of a magnet 51. But the effect of the received oscillations flowing in the coil of the magnet 38 is to wipe out the variations in magnetization on these parts of the wire which pass its poles while it is active. The wire thus carries the message to the telephone in the form of dots and dashes. In another receiving- instrument adapted to re-invert the message, a locally produced alternating current flows through the divided coils of a transformer 55, Fig. 4, and the electrical quantities are so chosen that, when no oscillations are being received, currents flowing in the two parts of the transformer do not quite balance each other on the transformer, and the telephone 62 emits a note. But the effect of the received oscillations is to make the balance complete and thus silence the telephone. The transmission of messages may be performed by varying the frequency of a constantly emitted wave by means of the apparatus shown in Fig. 5. The rotating inductor of the bigh-frequency alternator has on its two sides different numbers of teeth 2, 3 cooperating with two fixed armatures, so that two freqencies may be got from the alternator. The windings of the two armatures are connected to two coils 72, 73 set at right angles to one another. A rotatable coil 77 in the antenna circuit may be moved under the control of the signalling key, into the field of either of the coils 72, 73, and in this manner the frequency of the emitted wave may be raised. The preferred wave frequency is 100,000 or less.

Granted: 1909-11-02
Abstract: 22,638. Everett, J. F., Kirkman, A., and Winter, R. j. Nov. 2. Tyres, pneumatic.-A self-inflating tyre is provided with a pumping-tube which is of larger section at one end where air is admitted and of small section at the other end from which the air is forced into the air tube. The pumping-tube c, Fig. 1, is housed between the folds of fabric of the tyre cover, and is bound by canvas d on a band a formed of pieces of wood covered with canvas so as to be pliable longitudinally aud rigid transversely. Transverse ridges b may be formed on the band a or on the pumping-tube, or on the inside of the cavity containing it. The delivery end of the pumping-tube is connected to the ordinary inflating-valve by means of a tube h, which passes through the cover and is protected against nipping by slotting one of the sections of the band a. In a modification, the tube h passes down between the air-tube and the cover through a hole in the rim, and a similar tube may connect the inlet end of the pumping-tube with the atmosphere. A security bolt m, Fig. 4, has a flat top p and longitudinal serrations o on its sides, and may be covered with canvas.

Title: Process for the Dissolution and Subsequent Coagulation of Proteids and the Application of the Resulting Products to Industrial Purposes.
Inventor: CHAVASSIEU HENRY LOUIS JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-12-03
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 26,155. Chavassieu, H. L. J. Dec. 3. Cellulose and proteids, xanthates of.-Xanthates of proteid substances are produced by treating such substances with caustic alkali and carbon disulphide successively. Suitable parent materials are fibrin, casein, wool waste, silk and silk waste, myosin, gut, vegetable albumens, keratine substances, such as hair, horn, hide, leather and its waste, &c. The aqueous solutions of the xanthates are coagulated by ammonium salts, are decomposed by acids, and yield a red precipitate with lead acetate. They are miscible in any proportion with viscose solution, the solution resulting being decomposed by strong acids, yielding a compound of cellulose and proteid. The proteid xanthate solution, with or without viscose, can be formed into various filaments, pellicles, moulded forms, &c. by coagulation. In an example, the formed threads are treated in succession with solutions of quinone, hydroquinone, tannin, and potassium dichromate, and may afterwards be treated with a condensing and dehydrating agent, such as formaldehyde, in the presence of acetic anhydride and glacial acetic acid.

Abstract: 26,616. Boult, A. J., [Esser et Cie Textil- Maschinen-und Tuchscher-Messer-Fabrik Ges., E.]. Dec. 8. Dyeing. - Hanks of yarn are dyed by circulating the dye liquor through them, first in one direction and then in the other. The hanks are suspended over two series of bars arranged at a distance, usually vertical, from each other corresponding to the length of the hanks, and are arranged in a supporting frame or box so that the whole block of yarn is shifted slightly away from one series of suspension. bars by the liquid flowing in the direction of the threads. The hanks are arranged on round bars, of which one series c, is placed side by side either on ledges e, Fig. 1, or in slots g, Fig. 4, at the top of the frame or box b, the other series d having its ends engaged between a pair of adjustable ledges f in the one case or in one pair of a series of notches h in the other. When a box open at the top and bottom is used for supporting the hanks, one wall is made detachable for introducing the yarn. When a frame without lateral walls are used, the hanks, which naturally bulge outside the frame, are tightened together with bands k, Fig. 2, linked by a winch i which can be released after the frame has been placed in its cell in the treating-vat a.

Abstract: 29,780. Kr³ger, F. Dec. 20. Crystallizing.-Homogeneous crystals of large size are obtained by maintaining a definite and uniform supersaturation of the solution at the surface of the growing crystal, the solution being circulated through the saturator and the crystallizing-vessel. A definite supersaturation is maintained in this process by providing a cooling-device between the saturator and the crystallizing-vessel, and the cooling should be capable of being delicately adjusted, for example, by passing the liquid through a worm surrounded by water. It is also convenient to have in the saturator a delicately adjustable heating-device such as an electrical heating-device. A minimum degree of supersaturation should be employed so that the formation of foliated crystals is avoided.
