Patent GB-922751-A (GB)
Title: A nut-like food product and process for making
Inventor: DURST JACK R
IPC: A23L7/152
Filed: 1960-09-12
Abstract: A product which simulates nut-meat consists of an edible hydratable film forming component in dried continuous cellular phase and an edible water-immiscible liquid dispersed in discontinuous phase, to produce particles individually entrapped in the cells of the slowly dried film forming component.  The film forming component may be one or more of the following: proteinaceous substances, e.g. albumen, gelatin, agar, soy-protein, wheat germ, milk solids and non-proteinaceous substances starch, methyl cellulose, or carboxy methyl cellulose. A filler or modifier such as sugar or glycerine may be added to the film-forming component, or a substance naturally containing a filler such as comminuted wheat germ may be used.  The water immiscible liquid may be any edible oil or fat, provided the fat is in liquid condition when used.  The film former and oil component are blended to form a smooth slurry and water is added in sufficient quantity to hydrate the film former whilst the slurry is vigorously agitated until a sharp viscosity rise occurs. Alternatively the oil component may be agitated with the previously hydrated film former.  The gel-like dispersion obtained after mixing the ingredients is extruded into sheets or moulds and slowly dried by circulated air at 100 DEG  C. for ten to twenty hours till the water content is from 1-2% and then roasted to give the desired nut-like flavour.  The oil proportion may be from 25.0% to 85.0% and the film former from 1.5% to 32% of the gel-like dispersion.  Filler material may be added up to 40% and the water content either wholly or in combination from 13.5% to 67.0%.

Class 117 In a middlings purifier the air is exhausted above a reciprocating sieve 3 by means of pipes 4 having apertures 4a manually controllable by slide valves 6 in such a manner that the velocity of the air exhausted is constant at all positions above the sieve at each setting of the valve. The exhausting pipes 4 are of circular cross-section and communicate with an exhaust main 7, the pipes 4 being either fixed to the main 7 and entering the suction chamber walls above the sieves via flexible seals 10 or fixed to the wall 8 to move with the sieves and flexibly coupled with the main 7. The rotary and axial slide valves 6 are operable by levers 12 and are arranged on axial movement to provide varying degrees of control of the apertures 4a along the pipes 4. Rotation of valves 6 varies the air flow equally across the sieve. The wall 8 may be of transparent plastic material to facilitate inspection. In an alternative construction the pipes are of triangular section, arranged with one longitudinal edge towards the sieves, and the exhaust apertures in the sides, the slide valves being guided in or on the pipes. Detachable transparent covers are supported between adjacent pipes. To prevent accumulation of material in the pipes, an inclined surface is arranged in each pipe to lead deposited material to the exhaust main.

Title: Improvements in pneumatic brakes for vehicles
IPC: B60T13/36
Filed: 1927-11-26
Abstract: 298,799. Maley, A. W., and Taunton, E. M. Nov. 26, 1927. Fluid-pressure. - Relates to fluidpressure brake apparatus of the kind in which a train-pipe normally connected to the brake cylinders is adapted to be connected by the motorman's valve either to a reservoir or to the atmosphere for the application and release of the brakes and in which failure of the pressure in a pipe normally under pressure, by the action of the motorman or otherwise, effects the operation of an automatic valve which admits compressed air to the brake cylinders and disconnects them from the train-pipe. The invention consists in an improved construction of automatic valve device of the kind comprising a pair of poppet valves. The automatic valve comprises a piston 8 in a cylinder 1 normally connected by restricted passages 4, 5 to the main and auxiliary reservoirs 6, 7 and permanently connected by the passage 2 to the pressure pipe 3. The piston 8 and its rod 11 carry a. pair of lift valves 12, 13 the upper of which is normally seated by reason of the upper area of the piston exposed to the reservoir pressure being greater than the lower. In this position of the valve, the train.pipe 20 is connected to the brake cylinders 19 by way of the chamber 16, passages formed by flats 17 on the valve rod 11 and a chamber 18. The rod 11 closely fits the passage in which it slides, at its ends so that there is no free passage for air between the valve settings during the movement of the valves. The brakes may thus be applied and released by connecting the pipe 20 to the pressure pipe 3 or to atmosphere by the operation of valves 21, 22 respectively. If the pressure in the pipe 3 is reduced as by opening an emergency valve 23, the valve piston 8 is moved upwardly to seat the valve 13 and unseat the valve 12 thereby cutting off the brake cylinders from the pipe 20 and connecting them to the auxiliary reservoir 7 by way of the passage 10 and the passages formed by the flats 17. In the upper position of the piston 8, the passages 4, 5 are sealed by the piston but a leak passage 9 remains uncovered to effect the return of the piston and valve when the pipe 3 is closed after an emergency application. The auxiliary reservoir may be dispensed with, the main reservoir replacing the auxiliary reservoir in this case in the arrangement as above described.

Filed: 1970-07-01
Abstract: 1320788 Tubular heat exchangers NORSK HYDRO AS 1 July 1970 [4 July 1969] 31975/70 Heading F4S  An apparatus for heating or cooling a gas comprises a casing 2 in which is disposed a tube bank 10 encircled by an open-ended tubular baffle 16 spaced from the casing and providing a gas flow path between the casing and the baffle, the casing having a fluid connection 4 positioned midway between the ends of the baffle and communicating directly with the space within the baffle, and a further fluid connection 6 communicating with the flow path outside the baffle. The tubes may be U-tubes as shown, connected to a header at one end of the casing, or they may be straight tubes extending between headers one at each end of the casing. Transverse baffles provide a tortuous gas flow path over the tubes. As shown, a gas to be cooled (e.g. by feed water flowing in the tubes) enters the casing at 4 and flows directly to the space within the baffle where it divides into two streams B flowing in opposite directions over the tubes to the open ends of the baffle and thence as shown by arrows C, D through the path between the casing and the baffle whence the two streams merge to discharge through connection 6. When a gas is being heated (e.g. by steam flowing in the tubes) this flow pattern is reversed so that the heated gas discharges through connection 4. Two or more of the heat exchangers may be connected together in series (Fig. 2).
