Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of pyrosulphates
IPC: C01D5/00
Filed: 1921-01-20
Abstract: The pyrosulphates of the alkali metals and of ammonia may be prepared in a powdered form by heating the corresponding bisulphates or a mixture of the sulphate with sulphuric acid to a temperature of 200-300 DEG  C. (preferably at about 250 DEG  C.) under reduced pressure and with agitation.  The temperature at the end of the reaction is kept below the melting-point of the product, so that the latter solidifies and is broken up by the agitator.  The heat is conveniently applied by an alternating current between carbon electrodes.  According to an example sodium bisulphate or its equivalent in sulphate and sulphuric acid is heated to 250 DEG  C. in a flat iron pan fitted with an agitator and the pressure reduced to 26-28 inches of vacuum.

Abstract: 1,138,642. Cutting-apparatus. JAGENBERGWERKE A.G. 19 Jan., 1967 [2 Feb., 1966; 7 Dec., 1966], No. 2962/67. Heading B4B. [Also in Division F2] A cross-cutter with rotatable cutters for transversely cutting a travelling web of paper, card or the like is characterized in that one or more cutters fastened to the periphery of a cutter drum are radially movable into and out of the cutting position by longitudinal displacement of the cutter or cutters. A rotatable drum 1, Fig. 1, is provided with fixed and movable cutters 2, 3 co-operable with a fixed cutter 4 to cut a web 5. The cutter 3 is fastened to a cutter carrier 11, Figs. 2 and 4, formed by a section of the cutter drum 1 and the division surfaces 12 between the two parts are inclined to the axis of the drum. The surfaces 12 define flanges 13, 14 in which bores 15, Fig. 5, and slots 16 are provided for receiving bolts 17 for clamping the flanges together. The bolts 17 are each formed at one end as a cylinder 19 which surrounds a piston 20 the other end of each bolt having secured thereto a ring 21 engaged by domed springs 22 which press against the flange 13. By introducing pressure medium into a pipe 23, the bolts 17 are displaced downwardly to stress the springs 22 so that the clamping force between the flanges 13, 14 is overcome and the cutter carrier 11 can be displaced longitudinally by means of a rotatable screwthreaded spindle 31, Fig. 2, which is non-displaceably supported in a bearing 32 of the cutter drum 1 and has its other end engaging a nut 33 secured to the cutter carrier 11. An adjustable stop 34 limits the longitudinal displacement of the carrier 11. In a modification, Fig. 6 (not shown), one end of each clamp bolt (17) is constructed as a piston (24) guided in a cylinder (25) secured to one, (13), of the flanges (13, 14). The domed springs (22) are arranged between the piston (24) and the flange (13). When pressure medium is introduced into the pipe (23), the clamp bolt (17) is moved downwardly further stressing the domed springs and overcoming the clamping force. In other modifications, Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown), the clamp bolts are. operable mechanically in such manner that either a taper key (26) or a toggle lever (27) effects the axial displacement of the clamp bolt (17) and thus overcomes the clamping force. For common operation of all the clamp bolts a rod (28 or 29) is provided connected to the taper key (26) or the toggle lever (27). In another modification, Fig. 9 (not shown), the axial displacement of the clamp bolt (17) is effected by means of a taper key (26) which is guided in a corresponding recess (30) in the clamp bolt. The displacement of the key (26) releases the clamping action of the clamp bolt releasing the domed springs (22).

Filed: 1960-01-27
Abstract: 936,624. Digital computers. THOMPSON RAMO WOOLDRIDGE Inc. Jan. 27, 1960, No. 3000/60. Class 106 (1). A digital computer comprises a logical circuit controlled by a sequence of " stored logic code " signals applied thereto, the particular sequence of stored logic code signals applied depending on the particular operation (e.g. addition, multiplication) to be performed. At each step of the operation, the logical circuit determines the values to be entered into a temporary storage and into a shift register. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the temporary storage comprises two flip-flops L1, L2. Each stored logic code signal comprises two binary digits S1, S2 applied in parallel to the logical circuit LN to determine the values to be entered into the flip-flops L1, L2 and into the first stage of a shift register R. To form the sum A + B of two n-digit binary numbers A, B, the shift register R has 2n stages. The four logic codes (0)-(3) cause the performance of appropriate logical functions, e.g. code (2) in which S1=1, S2=0, causes 0 to be entered in R, R(+)L1 (where (+)= " exclusive or ") to be entered into L1 and R.L1 (where .= " and ") to be entered into L2, the italicised variables indicating the contents of the corresponding components. The addition is carried out in three minor cycles, each of 2n steps, each step consisting in the application of an appropriate one of the four logic codes to the logical circuit LN. In the first minor cycle the n-digit numbers to be added are entered into the shift register R, the digits of the two numbers being entered alternately; In the second minor cycle the sum is formed in alternate digit position of the shift register and in the third minor cycle this sum is produced at the output 22. The Specification describes suitable logic codes for counting, subtraction and multiplication and in other embodiments there may be only one temporary storage flip-flop (Fig. 2, not shown), or four temporary storage flip-flops (Fig. 4, not shown). In a further embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown), there is provided a plurality of logic code signal generating means selected by a selection matrix, and a plurality of shift registers having an input and an output selection matrix, the various notices being controlled by addressing means. The arrangements described may be modified for parallel operation. U.S.A. Specification 2,815,168 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to methods for making lubricating grease
Filed: 1945-02-08
Abstract: Lubricating greases are made by dissolving a grease base comprising a calcium soap of a saturated higher fatty acid and an ester of a polyhydric alcohol and a higher fatty acid, which ester has at least one free hydroxyl group, in a mineral lubricating oil at an elevated temperature.  The solution is cooled to approximately room temperature and the composition thereafter heated, but not to a temperature sufficiently high to cause the oil to re-dissolve the grease base, for a period of time sufficient to cause any grease base which is in a dispersed condition in the mixture to absorb oil and form a gel therewith. The soap may be calcium stearate, the temperature to which the grease is raised after cooling may be 40 DEG C. to 90 DEG  C. and the solution of grease base in oil, after cooling to room temperature, may be introduced into containers and the reheating carried out in the containers.  In an example to 925 parts of mid-continent mineral lubricating oil having a viscosity of 100 S.U.S. at 100 DEG  F. are added 75 parts of a grease base consisting of a mixture of calcium stearate and glyceryl monostearate in the ratio of approximately 6 parts of calcium stearate and 1 part of glyceryl monostearate.  The grease base is dissolved in the oil with agitation at 160 DEG  C., the mixture cooled to about 25 DEG C., reheated to 45 DEG  C., maintained at this temperature for about 2 hours and then cooled with agitation to room temperature.  The resultant grease has a medium consistency (worked ASTM penetration 374) and a smooth adhesive buttery texture.
