Abstract: 18,475. Soc. l'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs G. Claude). Aug. 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Nitrogen oxides.-To prevent decomposition of the nitrogen oxides produced by the combination of nitrogen and oxygen at a high temperature, the process is effected under pressure, and this pressure is utilized for expanding the gases to produce an instantaneous fall of temperature. The process is conveniently carried out in a cylinder C, combination of the gases being effected in a tube T and the gases passing out through a nozzle, from which they expand. This nozzle may form part of an injector arranged so that cold air is drawn in and produces a further cooling of the gases; the admixture gases may be such as have already been treated and cooled. To maintain the temperature of the gases until the precise instant at which they expand, the nozzle is made of difficultly-fusible metal, and is maintained at the highest possible temperature. The tube T is loosely mounted in pockets A, A<1> in the cylinderwalls, which may be water-cooled, and is packed in magnesia or other infusible non-conductor of heat. Heating of the gases is effected by metal spiral enclosed in the tube C and electrically heated; or arcs may be struck in the tube, and the tube itself may be used as a conductor of the Nernst type. Or heating of the gases may be effected by combustion, combustible gases such as acetylene, hydrogen, being forced in through the pipes R, r, together with nitrogen and superoxygenated air.

Abstract: 238. Janecek, F. Jan. 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Monogrammic and like signals; pneumatic signals.-Letters, figures, &c, are made to appear on a fixed announcement board by means of pistons which are moved forward into holes in the board. The announcement board 1 is provided with a large number of holes 2, and behind each is a sleeve 6, in which a piston 5 slides. The sleeves are painted the same colour as the surface of the board, the front ends of the pistons being of a different colour. The pistons are normally retained at the back of the sleeve so as to be invisible, but they can be moved forwards pneumatically or electromagnetically. Each piston is connected to a separate controlling-device on a central switchboard so as to produce any desired effect. Various methods of control are described. As shown in Fig. 3, the piston 5 is normally retracted by the suction of an air pump, but on opening the valve 7, for example by means of the magnet 8, the spring 9 presses it forward. The sleeves mav be inclined to the surface of the board, as shown in Fig. 4, in which case the pistons will be withdrawn by the effect of gravity and will then be invisible from the front. Fig. 4 shows a direct electro-magnetic operation, the cores 15 being drawn into the coils 14 when a current is passed through the latter. Another method of control is by opening a valve connecting the sleeves to a compressed-air pipe. When the pistons are arranged in the oblique position, their front faces may be made parallel to the surface of the board.
