Inventor: NAUHA PENTTI
IPC: D21F7/04
Filed: 1991-11-27
Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement for identifying a web breakage in a paper web R in a papermaking machine. The arrangement comprises a blowing box 10, 10a, 10b, wherein one blows air from an inlet channel 12 into the space E inside the cover frame 11, arrow L1. From the space E inside the cover frame 11, one allows air to flow via a flow slit 13a, 13b transverse to the direction of movement of the web, which flow slit 13a, 13b is situated between the bottom piece 14 of the cover frame 11 of the blowing box 10 and the side wall pieces 15a, 15b. In the proposed arrangement, the blowing box 10, 10a, 10b is arranged in such a way in relation to the wire and web draught W/R that the bottom piece 14 of the blowing box 10 is situated at a distance from the wire and web draught W/R. One lets air flow, arrow L2, from the flow slit 13a, 13b of the cover frame 11 in the direction of the plane of the web T, thereby inducing an air flow, arrow L3, from the space D between the bottom piece 14 and the wire and web draught W/R, in which space one creates an underpressure PA. The layout includes a connection 16 which is arranged to open in the space D between the bottom piece 14 and the wire and web draught W/R. The connection 16 is connected to a pressure difference transmitter 16 and, via this, along a signal line 19, to a central unit 17, whereupon from the change in the level PA of underpressure prevailing in the space D one observes at the central unit 17 a web breakage and the fact that the web W is separated from the connection to the wire W. <IMAGE>

Abstract: beta -Carotene and canthaxanthin, as representative carotenoids, and to a lesser extent, retinoic acid, a representative retinoid, undergo extensive oxidation to yield substances, insofar as oxidized  beta -carotene is a model, which have properties useful as non-toxic agents active against cell proliferation, tumors, and tumorigenic viruses, and useful as promoters of cell differentiation. It is evident from chemical analysis of the highly oxidized  beta -carotene product mixture that none of the various forms of vitamin A are present or are present only in minor amounts. Furthermore, the biological activities of oxidized canthaxanthin and retinoic acid, which cannot form, vitamin A, indicate the presence of active substances that are different from vitamin A. Although the anti-proliferative and differentiation promotion activities of oxidized  beta -carotene resemble those of vitamin A itself, generally the effects are more powerful for oxidized  beta -carotene in a wide variety of circumstances. Unlike vitamin A, the oxidized  beta -carotene of the invention is non-toxic.

IPC: F24V30/00
Filed: 1996-11-28
Abstract: An outer container for holding a material, such as a food, beverage or medicine with a sealed thermic module inside the container. The thermic module contains chemical reactants that mix upon actuation of the container by a user. Mixing of the reactants produces an exothermic or endothermic chemical reaction, depending upon the reactants selected. The contents of the outer container surround a portion of the outside surface of the thermic module, thereby facilitating conduction of heat. The thermic module has a hollow module body that is closed at one end and a module cap that seals the other end of the module body. The module body contains the solid reactant, and the module cap contains the liquid reactant. The module cap has a tubular section with a flexible member closing one end and a breakable barrier closing the other end. With the exception of the barrier, the cap is of unitary construction. The cap has one or more integrally formed prongs extending from the inner surface of the disc toward the barrier. The prongs move in an axial direction toward the barrier and may also spread apart radially when the outer surface of the flexible member or an actuator connected to it is depressed by the user's finger. The dual motion of the prongs in both axial and radial directions promotes complete puncturing of the barrier and thus fast mixing of the reactants.

Abstract: 267,655. General Electric Co., Ltd., and Garrard, C. C. Jan. 14, 1926. Pressure and current at distant places, measuring. - In a distant control system, one or more of the pilot wires employed for effecting the control also serve as part of a common path for an alternating and a direct current affecting respectively an alternating- current and a direct-current instrument at the control station indicating the conditions at the controlled apparatus. A rotary converter 1 at a substation 2 is controlled from a control station 3 over pilot wires 4, 5 connecting control gear 6, 7 at the control station and substation respectively. At the control station 3 an alternating-current ammeter 8, in series with a condenser 9, is connected in parallel with a direct-current voltmeter 10 between the pilot wire 5 and a third pilot wire 24. At the substation 2 the six-phase rotary converter 1 is supplied with power through the secondary windings 12 of a transformer and supplies direct current to the bus-bars 15, 16, 17 of a three-wire system, the bus-bar 16 being connected to the mid-point of one phase 25 of the transformer windings 12, and also the pilot wire 24. In one of the phases of the rotary converter is connected a current transformer 22, the secondary of which is connected between the pilot wire 5 and the negative brush of the converter. The voltage between the bus-bars 15, 16, together with the voltage induced in the secondary winding of the current transformer 22, is impressed upon a circuit from the negative brush and through the pilot wire 5, the instruments 8, 10 in parallel, pilot wire 24, the phase 25 of the transformer windings 12, and the windings of the rotary converter. The voltmeter 10 then indicates the voltage between the bus-bars 15, 16 and the ammeter 8 indicates the current supplied to the rotary converter. The condenser 9 prevents the flow of direct, current through the ammeter 8; this may be omitted if the instrument 8 is of the repulsion, shaded-pole, or other type responsive only to alternating current. The direct-current voltmeter 10 is of the D'Arsonval or other type responsive only to direct current. The indicating currents should be sufficiently small not to affect the control gear. The reactance and capacity of the instruments 10, 8 are preferably so chosen that the current passing through the alternating current apparatus is at unity power-factor when the frequency is normal, so as to minimize errors due to slight frequency changes. If there is a plurality of rotary converters at the substation, each may be associated with a current transformer, means being provided for selecting which transformer shall be connected to the pilot wire 5. According to the Provisional Specification, the measuring instruments may be replaced by relays.

Title: Improvements relating to the refrigeration of gases for the recovery of gasoline
IPC: C10G5/04
Filed: 1929-01-14
Abstract: 309,121. Hosmer, F. E. April 5, 1928, [Convention date]. Natural gas, utilizing.-Gasoline is recovered from natural gas by a refrigerating process in which brine is mixed with the gas in the final cooling stage to prevent clogging due to freezing of the condensed water vapour. The natural gas under a pressure sufficient to ensure flow enters a chamber 11 through a pipe 10, and is there sprayed with cold brine to remove the greater part of the water vapour. The gas is then passed through a pipe 12 and a coil 13 cooled by a refrigerating plant, the gasoline and water being condensed and led off through a pipe 21 to a gravity separator tank 22. The cooled dry gas then flows to a chamber 15 where it is brought into contact with the dilute and relatively warm brine discharged from the chamber 11, and after taking up moisture from and cooling the brine is finally discharged through a pipe 16.

[Also in Group XL (c)] A video signal containing interfering components extending in the white direction, curve a, Fig. 2, is applied directly from video amplifier V3 to the cathode of a limiter valve V2a whilst a further signal, curve b, with transients and interference reduced by integration is derived through cathode follower V1 and integrating stage V9, R, C1 and applied to the grid. Potentiometer P2 is adjusted so that the signals normally hold valve V2a cut-off and render it conducting only during interference. The resulting anode pulses are then applied through condenser C to the cathode-ray tube grid T to suppress the beam. In a modification the signal for the cathode of V2a may be derived from the cathode of VI. In a second embodiment (drawing accompanying the first Provisional Specification, not shown) a fixed potential is maintained on the grid of the limiter valve of a value such that the valve conducts to apply a suppression pulse to the cathode-ray tube only when interference exceeds the peak white level of the video signal.
