Title: Improvements in Mine Signalling Apparatus.
Inventor: HALL ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: B66B19/06
Filed: 1916-10-26
Abstract: 109,862. Hall, R. W., and Pearse, D. Oct. 26, 1916. Mechanical telegraphs.-In an apparatus more particularly adapted for mine " men " signalling two dials d, e are employed in the engine room, the dial d for indicating signals transmitted by the banksman and the dial e for signals transmitted ,by the onsetter. The dials are partly obscured, as shown, and pointers, having fingers h, h<1>, j - j<4> in fixed angular relation to one another, are employed, the pointers being ,located behind the dials. For signalling the need of the cage at an intermediate level when the cage is in use at the bottom, a separate signalling device is employed, consisting of a lever at the intermediate level which the onsetter pins in the required position and so operates a pointer l, Fig. 5, at the pit top. The tail of the pointer l moves over an arc m, making electrical contact in each extreme position to ring an alarm bell.

Abstract: 379,342. Vacuum switches. INTERNATIONAL GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Inc., 120, Broadway, New York, U.S.A.- (Assignees of Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.; 2, Friedrich Karl-Ufer, Berlin.) May 27, 1931, No. 15524. Convention date, May 28, 1930. [Class 38 (v).] The massive contacts 2, 3 of a heavy current vacuum switch are freed from occluded gases by the known electronic bombardment method. In order to allow of a high current density in the process, an auxiliary conductor 4 of tungsten of bowed form is mounted around the junction of the main contacts and is supported by auxiliary lead in wires 5, 6. This auxiliary conductor serves as a cathode and the contacts as an anode, a high voltage (for example, 4,000 volts) being applied between the two. A cylindrical shield 8 is arranged between the tungsten band 4 and the walls of the switch and is supported by the lead-in conductors and insulated from one of them. Tubes 10, 12, which are bad conductors of heat, connect the contacts to the outside of the container, the tube 10 to the fixed contact 3 being fixed by seating to the walls and the tube 12 to the movable contact being sealed to the flexible part of the container. These tubes serve as temporary lead-in conductors for the bombardment process ; heavy conductors 11 are inserted in them and screwed to the contacts to carry the normal working current.

Patent GB-663672-A (GB)
Title: New or improved process for the recovery of polyglycerols from distillation residues
Inventor: ROWE RICHARD
IPC: C08L67/00
Filed: 1949-06-14
Abstract: Dioxane is employed as the solvent in a process for obtaining polyglycerols from glycerine pitch by solvent extraction. Glycerine pitch is the residue remaining from the distillation of crude glycerin and consists mainly of polyglycerols together with some glycerin and, in the case of glycerin obtained from soap lyes, common salt.  It also contains other inorganic salts, soap and salts of organic acids other than soap acids.  The polyglycerols, together with any glycerin that may be present are extracted from the glycerin pitch by treating it with dioxane, the dioxane solution is separated from undissolved materials and distilled.  The extraction is preferably carried out with hot dioxane.  The pitch may be treated with hot dioxane, the resulting solution separated and cooled in stages to affect fractional separation of the polyglycerols.  If desired, two fractions may be obtained by cooling the hot solution and obtaining one by drying the product which separates out and the other by evaporating the dioxane from the remaining cooled solution. The pitch may be purified before extraction by any known method and in the case of pitch obtained from glycerin resulting from the manufacture of soap it is useful to remove the greater part of the salt present. Instead of treating the pitch itself a crude extract of polyglycerols therefrom, e.g. an extract obtained by using aliphatic alcohols having from 3 to 5 carbon atoms in the molecule, may be used.  The extraction can be made by first distributing the pitch or crude polyglycerol over a large area of surface before extraction with dioxane.  For example, hot glycerin pitch may be mixed with sawdust, alumina or silica gel before extraction.  In the examples, glycerin pitch is extracted with dioxane at elevated temperature and the dioxane then distilled from the resulting solution.

Filed: 1973-04-04
Abstract: 1418196 Thermionic cathode constrictions RCA CORPORATION 4 April 1973 [7 April 1972] 16021/73 Heading H1D An insulated thermionic cathode "dark" heater is coated with particles of high thermal emissivity material by passing it through a bath comprising a liquid vehicle in which the particles are evenly dispersed. This prevents the particles penetrating the insulation and reducing to resistance. Penetration is caused by liquid near the surface of the bath containing a low concentration of particles and hence having a low viscosity and high penetrating ability. A cathode heater for a colour TV tube comprising an Al 2 O 3  coated W wire is dipped in a bath of W particles dispersed in nitrocellulose, alcohol and butyl acetate. The particles are 0À5 to 10 Á in size. The bath is prepared by ball milling the particles and liquid until the specific gravity or viscosity reaches a stable value. The bath may additionally contain Al 2 O 3  particles. Mo, C, Cr 2 O 3 , BN 3 , SiC particles may be used instead of W. The insulating coating may be ZrO, BeO or Cr 2 O 3  and TiO 2 .
