Title: Improved process for matting textiles
IPC: D06M15/423
Filed: 1936-02-24
Abstract: Textile materials are matted by treating in a bath in which a urea-formaldehyde condensation product is caused to separate in finely divided colloidal state.  The bath may be prepared by diluting with water a solution of the water-insoluble condensation product in a strong acid, e.g. formic acid.  Coloured pigment-like condensation products may be employed, and by using dyes, condensation, dyeing and matting may proceed simultaneously or successively.  Instead of urea, the following may be used: thiourea, dicyandiamide, biuret, guanylurea, guanidine, methyl-urea, phenyl-urea or the like, or mixtures thereof. Instead of formaldehyde, a polymeride thereof, or an agent yielding formaldehyde may be used.  In examples: (1) urea formaldehyde is dissolved in aqueous solution, neutralized and heated for 6--8 hrs. at 100 DEG  C., and the product dried, dissolved in formic acid, and the solution poured into water at 80 DEG  C.; the solution is cooled to 35 DEG  C. and viscose introduced and agitated for 30 mins., whereby it acquires a matt appearance fast to washing; (2) the condensation product of example (1) is mixed with 20 percent of its weight of thiourea and the mixture dissolved in its own weight of water; the solution is heated for 4 hrs. at 130 DEG  C., the insoluble product so formed is ground and used in the form of a colloidal aqueous emulsion together with some aluminium sulphate; (3) dicyandiamide is dissolved in aqueous formaldehyde, the solution filtered and heated at 130 DEG  C. for 4 hrs., the p  insoluble product is pulverized and dissolved in formic acid, the solution is added to water at 35 DEG  C. and Glauber's salt added; viscose goods treated in the bath for 30 mins. on a rotating reel acquire a matt appearance fast to washing; (4) the condensation product of example 1 and thiourea are dissolved in water at 60 DEG  C. Orange II is added and condensation effected by adding 10 per cent HCl.  After standing overnight the precipitate is filtered, washed, dried and heated for 1 hr. at 130 DEG  C.  The product is dissolved in formic acid to give a 25 per cent solution; to the solution is added water at 35 DEG  C.; viscose silk is treated in the bath for \ba1/4\be hr., Glauber's salts added, and the silk treated a further \ba1/4\be hr.  The product is an orange mat silk.

Title: Improvements in Telegraphy.
Inventor: HEURTLEY ERNEST SYDNEY
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 1916-06-06
Abstract: 107,950. Heurtley, E. S. June 6, 1916. Diplex and multiplex systems; receiving systems and apparatus.-In a system of diplex and multiplex telegraphy, a device is employed at the receiving end to delay the relative time of action of the impulses on the receivers; while to correct overcurbing and to shape the signals, a current from a local source is employed. The transmitters are geared together in order to obtain different speeds of transmission on the various channels. The impulses arriving over the cable i, Fig. 3, are arranged to operate a recorder 8 controlled by impulses having a quickly rising wave front, and the recorder 9 controlled by impulses having a slowly rising wave front. The first brush k' of a commutator delay device l is connected to the cable i through a resistance across which a compensating winding r, the circuit of which contains resistance s, capacity t, and inductance u, is connected. The delay device consists of four brushes k<1>, k<2>, k<3>, k<4>, the relative positions of which may be varied, and a commutator m, the segments of which are connected to condenser plates. The other plates of the condensers are joined together and connected to earth and to the brush k<4>. As a segment of the commutator passes under the brush k', its condenser receives a charge from the cable and passes on to discharge partly by way of the brush k<2> and the primary winding o of a transformer o, p, the secondary winding p of which is connected to the operating coil q of a non-circuit-closing relay 7 which controls the receiver 8. A further movement of the commutator causes the segment connected to the charged condenser to contact with the brush k' connected through resistance, capacity, and inductance v, w, x, y and z or any combination of these to the operating coil 4 of a non-circuit-closing relay 7<1> controlling the recorder 9. A further movement of the commutator causes a complete discharge of the condenser when its segment comes under the brush k<4>. More than one charging brush and more than one discharging brush may be employed. Effects due to overcurbing are neutralized by passing a current, obtained by a resistance shunt 10, through the coil q. The arrangement may be employed in a system employing signal impulses having different wave fronts as described in Specifications 7579/15 and 107,783.

Abstract: 635,774. Electric resonators. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Feb. 27, 1947, No. 5727. Convention date, Feb. 27, 1946. [Class 40 (viii)] A hollow resonator 1 contains a tuning piston 5 and a coupling element 19 associated therewith so that adjustment of the piston varies both the resonant frequency of the resonator and the coupling coefficient of the element. In the arrangement of Fig. 1 the coupling probe carried by the piston moves into a recess 21 in the resonator wall and thus its effective length is varied. In alternative constructions one end of the element is secured to the resonator wall and the other end may slide telescopically in the piston or if it is sufficiently elastic the probe may be simply deformed by motion of the piston. In a further arrangement a coupling loop may be twisted by the rotation of a twisted element 37 passing through a driving slit in the piston. Finally, the coupling element may be a slit 41 connected to a waveguide 39, varying portions of the slit being covered by the piston. Specification 635,619 is referred to.
