Title: Improvements in Electric Circuit Interrupting System
IPC: H02H9/02
Filed: 1916-11-30
Abstract: 105,314. British Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., (Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co.). Nov. 30, 1916. Protective arrangements.-A constant-current circuit, interposed between the generator circuit and the load circuit, is short-circuited in the event of an overload, to prevent the current from traversing the load circuit. The generator 1, Fig. 1, is connected to the corners 10, 11 of a monocyclic square formed of equal capacities 8, 9 and equal inductances 6, 7. The corners 12, 13 are connected by a constant current circuit to the corners 16, 17 of a second square, the other corners of which are connected b'y the load 26. When an overload occurs, a spark jumps the gap 27, reduces the current to zero, and causes the relav 30 to be lifted. The circuit-breaker 3 is thus tripped after the current is zero. In a modification, an inductance 32 and a condenser 33 forming a resonant circuit are connected in shunt with the winding of the relay 38. A spark-gap is connected across the inductance or condenser, and this is short-circuited when the relay rises on overload. The member of the resonant circuit that is not short-circuited prevents the current from flowing, and the circuit-breaker opens upon reduction in voltage.

Patent GB-1507682-A (GB)
Title: Heat treating particulate material
IPC: A23L13/00
Filed: 1975-04-25
Abstract: 1507682 Heat treating particulate material H J HEINZ CO Ltd 23 April 1976 [25 April 1975] 17326/75 Heading A2D A method of heat treating particulate material comprises heat treating the material with water in the liquid or vapour phase to hydrate and sterilise the material, flash cooling the material under reduced pressure, agitating the material while it is heat - treated, sterilized and cooled, and directly feeding the treated sterile material into a sterile container under aseptic conditions. The method is applicable to the treatment of particulate food, e.g. meat or vegetables and is particularly suited to the treatment of grain for use in the production of mushroom spawn wherein the grain after heat treatment and flash cooling is mixed and agitated with a powder e.g. a chalk/gypsum mixture, to coat and separate the grains which are then sterilized and flash cooled whilst still under agitation, the grains then being fixed under aseptic conditions to a container wherein the sterile grain is inoculated with myselium and then packaged in a sterile container which permits growth of the mycelium under incubation conditions. The method of the invention may be carried out in the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings wherein particulate material is filled into the rotatably mounted perforated container 18. Hot water may be admitted to autoclave 1 through line 40a; alternatively steam may be admitted into the bottom of the autoclave via line 50. After heat treatment, the supply of hot water or steam is terminated and the valve in vacuum line 46 opened to cause flash - cooling of the particulate material. After flash - cooling steam is again admitted into the autoclave to sterilize the particulate material. During the above steps, the particulate material ,is continuously agitated by rotation of container 18. Device 39 further facilitates mixing of the particulate material; an alternative device in the form of a Y-shaped perforated chamber is illustrated in Fig. 2 (not shown). Agitation may also be carried out using a paddle, rotatably mounted in the autoclave, Fig. 3 (not shown). After sterilization, the particulate material may be discharged from the autoclave to containers optionally via a storage chamber 16 and metering tube 65 wherein the particulate material e.g. grain may be mixed with an inoculum which is delivered from a hopper 74, the resultant mixture being delivered to an aseptic chamber 79 for packaging. Liquors and vapours produced during the process steps carried out in the autoclave may be discharged or after condensation if necessary, recycled to the autoclave.
