Inventor: IKEDA TAKASHI
IPC: F24F1/0022
Filed: 2008-02-19
Abstract: An environment friendly conditioner with a centrifugal fan in which noise is lowered furthermore and installation workability is enhanced while enhancing reliability of product during transportation and reducing the packing materials. Assuming the edge of a blade located on the downstream side for the air supply direction as the trailing edge of blade, profile of the centrifugal fan satisfies a relation that the outside diameter of a shroud rim cover is larger than the outside diameter of the shroud rim cover on the trailing edge side of blade which is larger than the outside diameter on the center plate side at the trailing edge of blade which is not smaller than the outside diameter of the center plate. The trailing edge of blade is located on the inside of a line connecting the joint of the trailing edge of blade and the center plate and the joint of the trailing edge of blade and the shroud rim cover when viewed from the axis of rotation, and the distance to the axis of rotation is lengthened from the center plate toward the shroud rim cover.

Title: Manufacture of soluble leuco-preparations of vat-dyestuffs
IPC: C09B67/28
Filed: 1930-03-31
Abstract: Stable preparation of leuco vat dyes are prepared by mixing the leuco compound of a vat dye of the thioindigo or anthraquinone series, which is capable of dyeing cotton in a cold hydrosulphite vat, with a protective colloid, such as molasses, preferably with the addition of a wetting agent and a stabilizing agent, such as hydroquinone, and drying the mixture at any stage of the mixing process.  The powders thus obtained may be mixed with a reducing agent and used directly for printing purposes, or they may be ground with caustic alkali or alkali starch and a reducing agent, such as hydrosulphite, and used for preparing a vat.  In an example, 3 : 4 : 8 : 9-dibenzpyrene-5 : 10 - quinone (Specification 205,502, [Class 2 (iii), Dyes &c.], is vatted, the leuco compound is precipitated by acidifying with sulphuric acid, and the paste obtained, neutralized by means of sodium carbonate, is mixed with molasses, a wetting agent, such as an alkylated naphthalene sulphonic acid, and hydroquinone, and dried in a vacuum.

Title: Process of separating nitrile-hydrocarbon mixtures
Filed: 1937-04-10
Abstract: Nitrile-hydrocarbon mixtures such as those produced according to Specifications 467,043 and 467,044, are treated with silica gel, activated carbon, alumina, fuller's earth or activated natural silicates such as clays to adsorb the nitriles preferentially, the nitriles being recovered by heating the adsorbent.  The mixed liquids, which may be obtained by cracking stearonitrile may be passed through the adsorbent in a tower, and the adsorbent may be heated in nitrogen or carbon dioxide to 100-400 DEG  C., to remove the nitriles after each passage of the mixture.  When this is done the nitriles of lower molecular weight are first recovered.  When the adsorbent loses its efficiency it is regenerated by roasting in air at about 600 DEG  C.

Abstract: 1,168,675. Optical apparatus. AMERICAN OPTICAL CO. March 6, 1967 [March 14, 1966], No.10418/67. Heading G2J. An optical system for transmitting optical images from an object plane 25 to an image plane 35 comprises a first light relaying system 14 having lenses 17, 18, for imaging the plane 25 in an intermediate plane 30 and a prism 20 or grating to disperse the image into its spectral components, a two dimensional fibre optic bundle 10 which transmits light from plane 30 to a second intermediate plane 33 and a second light relaying system 16 having lenses 22, 24, and dispersion prism 26 or grating to reform the image at plane 35 in full colour. Since each elemental part of the image is carried by several fibres in bundle 10 in different colours, should some fibres be broken there will still be a substantially complete twodimensional image produced at plane 35. The ends of fibre bundle 10 may be arranged in close rows orientated at 45 degrees relative to the direction of dispersion Fig.3 (not shown). Alternatively they may be arranged in rows spaced in the direction of dispersion Fig.6 (not shown) to reduce the number of fibres required.

IPC: H01F30/14
Abstract: 105,330. British Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., (Fortescue, C. Le G.). March 13, 1916, [Convention date]. Systems for alternating-current motors only.- Polyphase motors are supplied with current converted from single-phase currents by means of a monocyclic square or bridge with alternate capacities and inductances. Balanced polyphase relations are maintained by varying either or both the voltages supplied from the single phase circuit direct to the polyphase circuit or to the diagonal points of the square. In the simple arrangement shown in Fig. 1. the bridge consists of equal reactances 4 - - 7, the condensers 4, 6 having identical characteristics, and the inductances 5, 7 having identical characteristics. The alternator 1 is connected to the points 2, 3 of the bridge, and the polyphase load consisting of a two-phase motor 8 has its windings 12 connected across the alternator mains, and its other winding 9 connected to the diagonal points 10, 11 of the bridge. The bridge 24, Fig. 6, has adjustable capacities and inductances, and is used to supply a polyphase motor 17 designed for unity power-factor at all loads. The exciting-winding 18 is connected across the secondary 25 and the exciting-winding 19<a> is connected to the points 10<a>, 11<a> of the bridge. The rotor brushes are connected to voltage transformers 22, 23. A relay 30, operated by electro-magnets 33, 34 connected across the windings 18, 19<a> respectively, controls an auxiliary motor 27 which operates an arm 26, causing it to move over the transformer taps 25<a> in one direction or the other, to vary the voltage across the points 2a, 3a of the bridge when the voltages on the coils 18, 19<a> are unequal. In another modification, where the bridge is used to supply a motor not designed to operate at unity power-factor, the connexions between the supply transformer and the bridge, and the connexions between the transformer and the motor are adjustable and are controlled by watt-meter relays. In another modification, Fig. 8, the connexions are controlled by a single watt-meter relay 42, and the bridge circuit includes an adjustable inductance, while the motor circuit includes a transformer with its secondary shunted by a condenser 55. A three-phase motor can be supplied oy means of the arrangement shown in Fig. 9. The transformer secondary 62 is connected to one phase of the motor 59, and an adjustable intermediate point on the secondary is connected to the point 10<a> of the bridge. An additional secondary 63 is connected to the bridge points 2a, 3<a>, and the remaining point 11<a> of the bridge is connected to the motor.. A combination of two bridges may be employed to supply sixphase circuits. The arrangements described may be used also to supply single-phase circuits from a polyphase supply.
