Title: Improvements in or relating to Refrigerating or Cooling by Means of the Expansion of Compressed Gases and Apparatus therefor
Inventor: HILDEBRANDT GOTTHOLD
Filed: 1907-11-26
Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 26,186. Hildebrandt, G. Nov. 26. Liquefying.-In a process for refrigerating or cooling by means of the expansion of compressed gases, such as air, ammonia, carbonic acid, &c., the cooling effects produced both in the expanded gas and in the expansion valve are concentrated upon a small quantity of the compressed gas contained in a small hollow body, such as a coiled pipe, immediately surrounding, or in close proximity to, the expansion valve. In one form of expansion, Fig. 5, the gas, after escaping from the expansion valve b, impinges upon a coil e containing the compressed gas about to expand. The cooled expanded air may then pass to the ordinary counter-current apparatus d. The cooling may take place in stages, the gas passing before expansion through sections formed by coils, such as the coils c, f, which are connected to each other by pipes g of comparatively small cross-section. The coils are located in spaces through which the expanded gas flows.

Title: Improvements in Methods of Producing Electric Oscillations
Inventor: GALLETTI ROBERTO CLEMENS
Filed: 1907-12-10
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 27,289. Galletti, R. C. Dec. 10. High-frequency oscillatory discharges, producing. -Continuous electric oscillations are produced by an arrangement of circuits whereby, when a spark is produced in a gap which bridges the plates of a condenser, the oscillations produced in a circuit by this spark cause the potential difference between the plates of a second condenser to be raised, so that a spark is produced in a gap which bridges the plates of this condenser. The osciliations produced by this second spark react on the first condenser circuit, so that a spark occurs again at the first gap, and so on, continuous oscillations being produced in the main circuit. More than two spark-gaps may be used. When a spark occurs at the gap S1, the circuit containing the condensers K1, K4, the inductance I1, and the optional resistance R, is caused to oscillate. The main circuit containing the condensers K1, K2, K3, K4, and the inductances I1, I2, is thereby set into oscillation, and the potential difference between the plates of the condenser K3 being thus raised, a spark occurs at the gap S3. This spark reacts on the first circuit, and the cycle is repeated, continued oscillations being thus produced in the main circuit. Specification No. 12,633, A.D. 1907, is referred to.

Abstract: 14,259. Diaz, M. G., and Azarola y Gresillon, A. July 4. Cut-outs.-A thermal device for preventing the passage of more than a predetermined current consists of a non-inductive heating-resistance R arranged inside or outside a closed vessel V, which contains gas or vapour acting on a piston or flexible diaphragm D adapted to open or close the circuit at contacts C. An auxiliary resistance R' may be arranged either inside or outside the closed vessel V, and may connect the contacts C, or be in parallel with these contacts, the heating-resistance R being in series, as shown, its function being to prevent sparking at the contacts C, and to prevent rapid cooling down of the fluid within the chamber V when the contact C is broken. The contacts C may be arranged within the chamber V, so that contact is broken in a gas under pressure, thus minimizing sparking. A graduated screw T enables the current at which the apparatus operates to be measurably adjusted. The whole apparatus may be enclosed in an air-tight vessel ; or an air-tight chamber may be formed beneath the diaphragm D, rendering the action independent of atmospheric variations. The apparatus may be arranged in a hollow support for an insulator for an overhead wire. Two or more sets of apparatus may be arranged either in series or in parallel, so that, if one fails, another will operate.
