Title: An arrangement for the production of shock waves in rapid sequence inside a shock wave chamber
IPC: F23C99/00
Filed: 1957-09-04
Abstract: 825,026. Nuclear fusion reactors. SCHMIDT, P. Sept. 4, 1957 [Sept. 14, 1956], No. 27893 /57. Class 39(4). An arrangement for the production of shock waves in quick succession inside a shock-wave chamber, especially for heating the region in the centre of a hollow cylindrical or hollow spherical thermonuclear reactor, is characterized in that a thin layer of flowing explosive mixture serving for the production of a shock wave is introduced periodically on to a wall of the shock wave chamber that reflects shock waves, preferably along the whole extent of the wall, and is each time ignited simultaneously over its whole extent. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, fuel and oxidant, e.g. a hydrocarbon and oxygen, are fed separately into a cylindrical chamber through apertures in an end wall 2 of the chamber ; an explosive mixture is fed into the chamber near the opposite end wall 3 through a pipe 6 and ignited. The shock wave thus produced travels down the chamber and ignites the mixture admitted through the wall 2 ; the shock wave is reflected at the wall 2, travels back to the wall 3 where it is again reflected, and returns to ignite a further charge of fuel and oxidant admitted through the wall 2. Exhaust gases may be removed through apertures 28 in the wall of the chamber. In another arrangement, Fig. 3 (not shown), shock waves are produced in a spherical chamber, and when the pressure in the chamber reaches 40 atmospheres, hydrogen is admitted and is stated to undergo a nuclear fusion reaction. The increased pressure caused by this reaction allows water to be admitted to the chamber and converted to steam which is led away and used, for example in a steam turbine. Specification 774,052 is referred to.

Patent GB-503867-A (GB)
Title: Drilling device with automatic advance of the tool
IPC: E01B31/06
Filed: 1937-10-15
Abstract: 503,867. Drilling-machines. STABEG APPARATEBAUGES., and SALANSKY, F. Oct. 15, 1937, No. 28168. [Class 83 (iii)] A portable drilling-machine, particularly for operating on railway rails in situ, has a frame 3 for clamping to a rail foot &c. and carrying a sleeve 10 which encloses a frictionally-driven spring-feed for the drill 16. The frame 3 consists of two spaced side members joined at the ends by bars 4, 5 whereof the former carries a claw 7 for engaging the rail foot 2 and the latter receives a screw 9 engaging a slide 6 which also carries a claw 8. A pillar 11, preferably cylindrical, is vertically and rotatably adjustable in the slide and is clamped by a screw 12, a scale 13 facilitating the vertical adjustment. The sleeve. 10 is secured to the pillar 11 and has a bearing 19 for an enlargement 15 on the drill spindle 14. A feed sleeve 21 is screwed at 20 in the sleeve 10 and engages through a thrust bearing 29 with a spring 28 abutting on the enlargement 15. Compression is applied to the spring by a thumb nut 27 screwing on the end of the spindle and pressing a driving handle 26 and a square socket 25 against a steel wear plate 22 on the sleeve 21. In operation, rotation of the handle 26 rotates the sleeve 21 through friction at 22 until the drill engages the work, whereupon the spring 28 becomes further compressed and the friction at 22 is relieved to allow the sleeve 21 to remain stationary. As the drill is fed into the work by the spring 28, the friction at 22 increases until it is sufficient to rotate the sleeve 21 again and thus increase the feed. In a modification the sleeve 21 screws on the outside of the sleeve 10 and is rotated by one or more axially arranged screws on the handle-boss engaging the friction plate 22, the screws being axially adjustable to vary the feed in the same manner as is possible by adjustment of the nut 27 and in another modification the driving element 25 may be disposed inside the sleeve 10 in place of the thrust bearing 29. In a further modification the sleeve 10 is attached to a pillar such as 11 which is horizontally adjustable in a pillar projecting upwards from the slide 6. The spindle 14 may be driven by a pawl and ratchet crank, instead of the handle 26, or by an electric motor, and the machine may be left in position on a rail whilst trains are passing over. Lubricating cutting-tools and work.-A tank 30 of lubricant may be secured to the sleeve 10 by a clamp 31 to supply the cutter 16 through an angularly adjustable pipe 33. Drills and cutters.-The cutter 16 is hollow, so as to remove a disc from the work, and has few teeth separated by large gaps to allow free escape for cuttings. Each of the axial faces 17<1> of the teeth is inclined to a radius so as to direct the cuttings outwardly, and the cutter is mounted on the tapered end of the spindle 14 and is driven by a pin 18.

Title: Processes of bleaching foodstuffs
IPC: A21D2/20
Filed: 1928-10-03
Abstract: 327,670. Jackson, L. Mellersh-, (Pilot Laboratory, Inc.). Oct. 3, 1928. Bleaching flour and meal. - Food stuffs normally containing chromophoric oil-bearing materials, e.g. flour, cotton seed, egg yolk. oils and fats, are bleached by the action of a higher fatty acid peroxide, or a mixture of such peroxides derived from the higher fatty acids normally occurring in the edible fats or oils, e.g. cocoanut oil, and having upwards of five carbon atoms per molecule. The peroxides are preferably prepared by adding to a mixture of higher fatty acids obtained from a natural oil slightly more than 197 kilograms of benzotrichloride with about 0.5 kilograms of ferric chloride. The mixture is heated over a water bath until the evaporation of hydrochloric acid is almost complete. From the resulting mixture of benzoyl chloride and fatty acid chlorides, compounds containing iron, and tar-like products, the mixture of fatty acid chloride is separated by fractional distillation. To a 5 per cent solution of hydrogen peroxide or its equivalent and caustic soda or other alkali, the mixture of fatty acid chloride is added and the resulting product is separated, washed and dried with or without the addition of a diluent or filler. In the case of water-resistant acid chlorides, the reaction may be assisted by the addition of soap or other solvent. In use, the peroxides, either alone or with a diluent or filler of the kind commonly used with organic peroxide bleaching agents, are mixed with the material to be bleached, the mixture being then allowed to stand at .ordinary temperatures until the bleaching action is complete. The peroxides are stated to be selfactivating, the fatty acids produced during the bleaching action serving as activating catalysts for the undecomposed peroxides.
