A process of producing a superfatted detergent product comprises mixing a detergent type sulphonic acid with a neutral soap to liberate fatty acid sufficient to impart superfatting properties to the product and neutralize the sulphonic acid, and working the superfatted soap containing the sulphonic acid salt into a finished product. The product comprises soap, free fatty acid in sufficient proportion to impart superfatting properties to the product and a sulphonic acid detergent salt in stoichiometric relation to the free fatty acid content. The fatty acids liberated may amount to from 1 to 25%, prefer ably 1 to 8 % by weight of the product. Additional conventional anionic synthetic detergent salt may be added to bring the detergent to soap ratio within the range 1 : 4 to 1À5 : 1. The sulphonic acid used generally has 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the aliphatic chain. The fat charge used in making the neutral soap is preferably a charge comprising 50-70% by weight tallow and 50-30% by weight of the oils of the coconut type, such as coconut oil, palm kernel oil and babassu oil. Other fatty materials specified are palm oil, animal fats, oleic oil, tall oils, rosin, castor oil, groundnut oil, linseed oil, cottonseed oil and fish oils. The saponifying caustic alkali is preferably sodium hydroxide but this may be replaced by up to 15% by weight potassium hydroxide. The soap may be made by the conventional kettle soap making process and is in the form of a bar. Further ingredients specified are preservatives, such as 2-6-ditertiary butyl p-cresol, t-butyl hydroxy anisole and triphenyl phosphite; perfume; and sodium chloride.

Title: Hydraulic means for controlling the movement of a bucket or the like in excavating or loading machines
IPC: E02F3/42
Filed: 1963-09-17
Abstract: 1,015,130. Excavating-machine. A. B. LANDSVERK. Sept. 17, 1963 [Sept. 28, 1962], No. 36521/63. Heading E1F. [Also in Division Fl] The bucket S of an excavating or loading machine is moved at one of two speeds, dependent on the resistance encountered, by piston and cylinder 6, 8, 9 connected in a hydraulic circuit as shown. With valve 3 in position A, fluid is pumped up line 11, while, with valve 4 closed, fluid displaced by the advancing piston 9 flows down line 10, through valve 5 and back up line 11, this arrangement achieving a high speed movement of piston 9 and bucket S. When bucket S encounters resistance, by material G, the pressure in line 11 rises' until pressure sensitive element 12 opens valve 4, after which fluid displaced by piston 9 is is discharged into fluid-tank 1, vented to atmosphere. This results in a low speed movement, but greater force exerted by the bucket, during actual digging. Valve 3 is moved to position B to reverse the movement, valve 4a opening to by-pass valve 4. Valve 4 can be manually operated instead of automatic. Valve 3 may be manually set, or movement to position A may be effected by bucket-arm 7 returning after the previous working stroke.

Title: Computer system
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 1975-09-05
Abstract: 1514956 Control of peripheral apparatus PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES LTD 5 Sept 1975 [7 Sept 1974] 36622/75 Heading G4A Peripheral apparatus PG1, PG2 (Fig. 1) are linked to a central control unit CPU by a common bidirectional data bus DD, a common unidirectional control line DC1, the signal state of which indicates the type of information on the bus, a common unidirectional signal line DSL the signal state of which indicates whether an addressed peripheral is able to send or receive data, an individual selection line DSE1, DSE2 on which the CPU selects the peripheral (as described by closing a switch SSE) and an individual request line DRE1, DRE2 on which the peripheral sends a request for data transfer As described a second control line (DD2, Fig. 2, not shown) indicate the direction of transfer and a third control line (DC3) indicates whether control commands or a status information is to be transferred. When lines DC1, DC2, DC3 carry no signal, information from the CPU on the data bus DD is applied to a primary control command (PC) via switch (SD1). When DC1 carries a signal the information is applied to a store (DSP). When line DC2 carries a signal a primary status signal (PS) or data from a store (SPA) is transmitted in dependence on the signal on line DC1. When line DC3 carries a signal if line DC2 carries no signal one of two secondary control commands (SC1, SC2) are supplied from the CPU in dependance on the signal on line DC1. If line DC2 carries a signal one of two status signal (SS1, SS2) are fed to the CPU. Data on the bus is parity checked in a unit (PP), a signal on line DFL being transmitted if an error is detected. Each peripheral includes status indicators (B1, AT, UX, CR, Fig. 3, not shown), a modification in a predetermined status indicator (CR) resulting in a command request being generated (and erasing any possible data requests). Several peripherals UG1, UG2 ... UGn (Fig. 4) may be connected to a single connection unit PA linked to the CPU by the lines DD, DSE1, DRE1. In the absence of a signal from the CPU on selection line DSE1, a signal is repeatedly sent on line DPX connected serially to all the peripheral units in order of priority to close switch SRE in the highest priority unit having a request signal DR1 (as shown peripheral UG1). If a request signal exists a signal is fed via line DPRE to line DRE1 and a switch SPY is then opened to prevent switches SRE in units of lower priority being operated. If no request is present a return signal is received on line DPY. The signal on line DRE1 results in a signal on line DSE1 closing switches SSE so that unit AV actuated by the signal DR1 sends its address on the data bus to the central control unit. The control unit then sends an address representing the peripheral UG1 which is recognized by the unit AV and results in switch SDD being closed to prevent data transfer.

Abstract: 916,655. Transistor circuits. FERNSCH G.m.b.H. Oct. 27, 1960 [Oct. 27, 1959], No. 36867/60. Class 40(6). [Also in Group XXXVI] A switching circuit comprises a transistor and a rectifier connected in cascade and arranged so that both devices can be cut-off or rendered conductive at the same time by a voltage applied to the transistor. In Fig. 2, transistor T11 and rectifier D11 normally provide a conductive path between input terminal P111 and output terminal P117. This circuit is broken when switch SW111 is throw to the other position, biasing off transistor T11 and hence rectifier D11. This arrangement minimizes cross-talk in the cut-off condition. Fig. 3 shows a similar arrangement in which transistor T11 is connected in the common collector mode. Fig. 6 shows the invention applied to a cross-bar switching network in which any input circuit such as K1, K2 can be connected via the appropriate switching unit B11, B12, B21, B22 to any output line such as Z1, Z2 dependent on the setting of switches such as SW11. Each input line such as K1 is connected via a filter F1, and emitter follower EF1 to the input terminal of switching units such as B11, B12, isolating resistors such as R119 are connected between successive input terminals to prevent boosting of high frequencies. Fig. 4 (not shown), relates to an amplifier suitable for connecting to each of the output lines Z1 of Fig. 6.

Patent GB-929402-A (GB)
Title: Encapsulated emulsions and processes for their preparation
IPC: A61K8/11
Filed: 1959-11-09
Abstract: Particles of a primary emulsion of an oil in a hydrophilic liquid containing a thickening agent are encapsulated by a process wherein the primary emulsion is dispersed to form a secondary emulsion in a coacervating solution comprising a coacervating agent and an aqueous sol or solution of a gelable hydrophilic colloid at a temperature above the gel point of the colloid which is caused to coacervate and thus to coat the particles of the primary emulsion with a coating that may subsequently be hardened. Suitable thickening agents are materials which are substantially insoluble in the oil phase of the primary emulsion and which cause the external phase of the primary emulsion to have a surface which is lipophilic or at least less hydrophilic than water, e.g. acacia, tragacanth, methyl- and carboxymethyl-cellulose, magnesium aluminium silicate, polyglycols, glycerin and syrups.  Suitable colloids are gelable, hydrophilic colloids, e.g. gelatine (preferred), agar-agar, albumin, alginates, casein, pectins, starch and fibrinogen.  The coacervating agent may be an electrolyte e.g. salts having alkali or alkali-metal cations and organic or inorganic anions or a water-soluble liquid in which the coacervating colloid is less soluble in water.  A conventional emulsifying agent may be used in the preparation of the primary emulsion and the coacervating solution may contain a thickening agent.  Either or both phases of the primary emulsion may contain dissolved or suspended materials which confer on the product of the invention properties which render them useful as bactericides, fertilizers, plant growth hormone preparations, pesticides, additives to pre-mixed foods, e.g. vitamin preparations suitable for addition to dry cereal preparations, cosmetic ingredients and pharmaceutical preparations for oral, topical and injectable application, particularly for sustained or delayed release of the active material. Details of the processes used are given.  Specification 751,600 is referred to.
