Title: Penicillin-placenta extract complex
IPC: A61K31/43
Filed: 1963-03-22
Abstract: A penicillin-placenta complex is produced by contacting penicillin with a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt complex of an extract of placenta derived by contacting placenta with an acidic alcoholic solvent to form a liquid extract and adding to the liquid extract a base so as to precipitate a salt complex.  In the example, human placenta is treated with aqueous ethyl alcohol at pH 2.7 at 20-30 DEG C., allowed to stand to precipitate proteins and NH4OH added to pH 9.6.  The precipitate so formed is washed with water, dissolved in saline and mixed with an aqueous procaine penicillin G suspension.  A preservative is added to the mixture so formed.  A reaction is thought to take place between the penicillin and the placenta complex.  The preparation has a prolonged action penicillin effect.ALSO:A medicinal placenta complex is obtained by contacting mamalian placenta, e.g. human placenta, with an acidic alcoholic solvent to form a liquid extract and adding to the liquid extract a base to a pH above 7 so as to precipitate a salt complex.

Title: Improvements relating to the treatment of wool and the like to impart resistance to shrinking
IPC: D06M11/09
Filed: 1944-11-21
Abstract: Material consisting wholly or partly of wool is rendered resistant to shrinking by subjecting it to the action of gaseous fluorine.  The material, preferably dry or containing only a small moisture content may be placed in an airtight vessel through which is passed a current of fluorine either pure or in admixture with a gas inert to fluorine. It is preferred to remove grease from the wool prior to the fluorine treatment.  The feel of the material after treatment may be improved by impregnating them with a softening agent, particularly with a cation-active substance.  In an example, wool socks are scoured with soap and ammonia, dried, and then placed in a glass or copper vessel through which a mixture of fluorine and nitrogen is passed at room temperature. The fluorine may be obtained by heating cobaltic fluoride, or argentic fluoride.

Abstract: 360,497. Switchgear structures. REYROLLE & CO., Ltd., A., Hebburn-on- Tyne, ALLAN, A., Cragside, Ashleigh Grove, Tynemouth, and CHRISTIE, J., 4, Sidecliff Road, Sunderland. Aug.6,1930, Nos. 23515/30 and 15485/31. [Class 38 (v).] Metal clad oil-immersed switchgear comprises a bus-bar chamber K, a tubular casing L, preferably oilfilled and formed as a condenser insulator, extending through it and containing an insulated conductor P adapted to be moved, by the pinion R<1> co-operating with a rack R on the insulator, in the direction of its length simultaneously with the isolating switch O. Thus isolation of the circuitbreaker from the bus-bar J is effected at two points. The circuit-breaker cover carrier hollow insulators E dipping into the tank and carrying at the lower ends a mounting for the fixed contacts C of the circuit-breaker and a pin contact D<1> to be engaged by the spring-clip contacts P<2> on the lower end of the vertically-moving isolating conductor P. The upper end of this conductor is provided with similar spring contacts which normally engage a sleeve contact N in connection with the isolating contact member o. The casing L communicates with the hollow insulator E through the detachable flexible sleeve M, and the double chamber may be filled with oil. To isolate the circuit-breaker the shaft 04 is rotated to operate the member O through linkage mechanism and, at the same time, through additional links and a rack to cause rotation of the pinion R<1>. The disposition of the links is such that the blade O moves rapidly during the initial opening movement and slowly during its final opening movement whilst the conductor P moves slowly during the initial movement and rapidly during the final movement. In the fully raised position, the upper spring contacts engage with a contact L<3> in connection with the earthed casing and the blade O engages with an earthed contact O<1>. The connection of the cable T to the other fixed contact of the circuit breaker is similar. It enters the oilfilled chamber 5 and passes into an enclosing sleeve as described in Specification 360,055. and a contact blade O<5> serves to connect it to the circuit-breaker contacts. In the isolating position, the flexible sleeves M may be detached and the oil tank moved away the conductors P being raised adequately to permit this. Contacts.-The spring contacts on the sliding conductor P may be arranged as shown in Fig. 2, so that the electrodynamic action between the parts may serve to reinforce the contact pressure. Contact blocks V are mounted on U-shaped straps depending from a ring V<2> and steel springs v<3> provide the initial outward pressure.
