Title: Production of halogenated isocyanates
IPC: C07C263/16
Filed: 1954-04-07
Abstract: The invention comprises polyisocyanates of aromatic compounds having also one or more haloalkyl or haloalkoxy groups and a process for obtaining halogenated isocyanates by halogenating alkyl or alkoxy aromatic di-isocyanates in the side-chain, with the aid of heat, actinic light or free-radical producing agents; also polyisocyanates containing a halogenated alkylene group linking two aromatic nuclei. In examples, m-toluene isocyanate, p-toluene isocyanate, 2 : 4-toluylene di-isocyanates, 2 : 6-toluylene di-isocyanate, 4 : 41-diphenylmethane-di-isocyanate, 1 - ethyl - 2 - phenyl - isocyanate, and 3 : 31 - bis - methoxy - 4 : 41 - diphenyl - diisocyanate, are chlorinated or brominated in actinic light and solvents and with free-radical producing agents to give the corresponding monohalomethyl derivatives, including 4 : 41-diphenyl - chloromethane - di - isocyanate, a  - chloroethyl - phenyl - isocyanate, 1 - bromomethyl phenyl di-isocyanate and 3 : 31-bischloromethoxy - 4:41 - diphenyl - di - isocyanate; also the 1-trichloromethylphenyl 2:4-diisocyanate.  The 1-chloromethyl - phenyl - diisocyanate-2:4 gives by reaction with methanol, a urethane which reacts with pyridine to give a water-soluble quaternary salt. A polyurethane is obtained by reaction between 1:4-butanediol and the halomethylphenyl-2:6-di-isocyanates, and quaternary products are generally obtainable from the urethanes.

Title: Improvements in radiotelephonic and other signalling systems
IPC: H03C1/00
Filed: 1924-04-25
Abstract: 237,025. Hale, G. W., and Radio Engineering Co., Ltd. April 25, 1924. Thermionic generators and modulating systems. -A transmitting apparatus for wireless or other tuned signalling, particularly for radio telephony, includes a thermionic valve generator 1 of radio frequency oscillations, wherein the signals are produced by variations of the capacity of a condenser 11 which is connected to the grid 9 of the generator valve in such a way that it partly or wholly neutralizes the retro-action between the anode and grid circuits of the valve. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the grid 9 is connected through an oscillatory circuit 2. 3 and grid battery 4 to the filament 15. The anode is connected through a similar circuit 5. 6 to one side of the condenser 11, the other side of which is connected to the grid 9. The high tension source 7 is connected to a suitable point 8 in the inductance 5. A condenser 10 may connect the anode and grid circuits. The left-hand plate of the condenser 11 is moved at speech frequency by the electromagnet 12 and microphone 13 or directly by the impact of sound waves through a speaking tube, the effect being to vary the capacity of the condenser 11 and hence the retro-active coupling between the anode and grid circuits. The condensers 10. 11 may be arranged to balance one another when at rest, thus preventing the genera- , tion of oscillations. The oscillations thus generated may be amplified by a valve 16 and communicated to an aerial 18. In a modification, Fig. 4 the condenser 11 has three plates connected as shown, the object being to prevent changes in frequency of the emitted waves. The invention is also applicable to telegraphic signalling. in which case the capacity of the condenser 11 is varied at signal frequency instead of at speech frequency.

Title: The manufacture of a therapeutically active preparation for the treatment of malignant tumors
IPC: A61K35/28
Filed: 1934-04-04
Abstract: Preparations for the treatment of malignant tumours are obtained from the organs, bone marrow, or body fluids of animals which have been inoculated with fresh virulent tumour cells, or with extracts or pressed juices thereof prepared according to Specification 366,503, but have remained tumour free after such treatment.  Extracts or pressed juices of the glands or other organs may be employed, the extracts being obtained by means of water, or aqueous salt solutions, or organic liquids which preferably contain water.  Blood may be employed, preferably in the form of citrate blood, and may be extracted with a solvent such as ether, or may be mixed with a water-miscible solvent such as alcohol in excess, and the liquid, after being separated from the precipitate which forms, treated to remove the solvent and the residue so obtained taken up in a physiological salt solution. The processes, particularly the first extraction steps are preferably carried out at low temperatures.  The solutions obtained may be further purified by addition of solvents such as alcohol, acetone or ether to precipitate impurities, or by addition of adsorbents such as aluminium hydroxide or active charcoal to remove ballast substances, and are sterilized by filtration, if desired after concentration, and the sterilized solutions may be dried at low temperature to yield stable dry products.  Examples relate to the treatment of the blood, liver, spleen, thymus glands and lungs of wethers, rabbits, or mice which have been treated in the manner referred to above, and in some cases the originating materials are subjected to preliminary treatment by freezing with carbon dioxide snow.
