Title: Dehydrated vegetables
Inventor: SCHROEDER CHARLES WATT
IPC: A23B7/015
Filed: 1958-07-04
Abstract: Dehydrated vegetable is exposed to ionizing radiation (other than neutrons) of not more than 10 million electron volts, so that the rehydration time of the dehydrated vegetable is reduced; gamma radiation from a radio-active isotope or beta-rays produced by an electron accelerator are preferred.  The vegetable will absorb between 0.25 million and 11 million rep of radiation by the treatment.  Vegetables mentioned are lima beans, sweet corn, okra, potatoes, green beans, celery, green and red peppers, peas, carrots, beetroots, onions, lentils, leeks and cabbages. According to one example, 130 g. of dehydrated carrot flakes having a moisture content of 4.04% were placed in a paper-lined aluminium box and exposed to 1.5 million rep of gamma radiation from cobalt 60; the accompanying beta particles were absorbed by shielding of sufficient thickness. The irradiated carrots became as tender after five minutes in boiling water as unirradiated carrots after ten minutes of boiling.  A dehydrated tomato-vegetable soup mix, which could be cooked in from 1 to 2 minutes, contained dehydrated flakes of celery, bell pepper, white onion, and carrot irradiated according to the invention in addition to tomato powder, protein hydrolysate, hydrogenated vegetable oil, sugar, salt, flour, starch and spices.  A dehydrated onion soup mix which could be cooked in 1 minute contained dehydrated white and toasted onion flakes irradiated according to the invention, in addition to beef extract, protein hydrolysate, hydrogenated vegetable oil, corn sugar, salt, flour, starch and onion powder.

[Class 2 (iii)] Amino-alcohols are produced by the reduction with.an alcohol and an alkali-metal or by catalytic redaction at elevated temperature and high pressure of benzylamino-carboxylic acid alkyl esters of the general' formula wherein X is hydrogen or a suitable substituent, R is hydrogen, alkyl, aralkyl or acyl, and A is an aliphatic radicle which may be substituted by an aryl group. The benzyl group may be split off from the product by catalytic reduction with hydrogen and palladium at room temperature. The racemic benzylamino alcohols or their salts with optically active acids may be separated into their optical components by fractional crystallization. In examples (1) alpha-benzylaminopropionic acid ethyl ester in tetrahydronaphthalene is reduced with sodium and alcohol and the d-l-N-benzylamino alaninol separated into its optical components by crystallization of the tartrates ; the free bases are treated with oxalic acid and reduced with hydrogen and palladium sponge to remove the benzyl group ; (2) alpha-benzylamino-butyric acid ethyl ester is reduced, converted to the mandelic ester of d-1. 2 benzylanino - butanol - 1 which is separated into the optical components by crystallization; the free bases are converted into oxalates and debenzylated as in Example 1. In Example 3, benzylamino-isocaproic ethyl ester is converted to d-l-N benzyleucinol, and thence into the tartrates; the mother-liquor from the separation of the d-tartrate, containing the l-tartrate is treated with o-nitro mandelic acid and the d- and lforms are separated; the benzyl leucinols are debenzylated as described above.' Examples 4 and 5 describe similar processes starting from alpha-benzylamino-isovaleric acid ethyl ester and 2-benzylamino-3- phenyl-propanol-1. Samples have been furnished under Sect. 2 (5) of (A) d-l-N-dibenzyl-alaninol from N-dibenzylalpha-aminopropionic ethyl ester, (B) d-l-N-methylbenzyl alaninol from alpha-N-methylbenzyl propionic ethyl ester, (C) N methyl alaninol oxalate, (D) d-l-N-(p-methylbenzyl)-alaninol, (E) d-l-N- (3 methoxy-4-ethoxy-benzyl) alaninol, (F) d-l-N- benzyl-alaninol from N-acetyl-benzyl-alpha-aminopropionic ethyl ester which on boiling with sodium and ethanol is reduced, with simultaneous splitting off of the acetyl group.

Abstract: 1477206 Vehicle bumpers ROBIN PRODUCTS CO 17 May 1974 [21 May 1973] 21954/74 Heading B7J [Also in Division B6] An elongate resilient trim member 26 suitable for mounting on vehicle panels and bumpers for ornamental and protecting purposes, has a base surface 32 adapted to be mounted on a support surface 20 having one or more apertures therein, and one or more integral connectors 40 or 140 projecting from said base surface and engageable in the apertures in the support surface for mounting the trim therein, the connector having opposing substantially parallel side walls 42 with a detent 46 on one or both side walls, having a camming surface 50 inclined to the projecting axis of the connector and facing away from the plane of the base surface, and a locking surface 52 also inclined to the said axis and facing towards the plane of the base surface, there being resiliently collapsible further walls 44 between said side walls, the collapsible walls being collapsible between the side walls upon insertion of the connector into an aperture in the support surface. The trim member may be a moulding made of resilient polymeric material, e.g. high density polyethylene. The camming surface and locking surface are preferably spaced apart by a shoulder surface 54. The collapsible walls are integral with the side walls, and are resiliently collapsible by virtue of their concave shape and the flexible nature of the material from which they are formed. On insertion of the connector into an aperture, the walls 44 collapse inwardly under pressure from the side walls 42 from the action of the camming surface against the edge of the aperture, and then recover after insertion beyond the shoulder 54 to cause the locking surface to engage against the inner face of the support surface, as shown in Fig. 4. The trim member may provide a trim assembly for a bumper 20 with over-riders 22, consisting of a central trim 26, two end trims 28 and over-rider trims 30. Connectors as described, moulded integrally with the trim strips, are engaged in apertures 34 and 36 in the bumper and over-riders for mounting the trim. In a preferred embodiment, the apertures 34 are longer than the corresponding width of the connectors while one aperture 36 closely conforms to the dimensions of the connector (Fig. 2) to accurately locate and centralize the trim on the support. This arrangement allows the trim to be fitted to a curved or angled surface, and also allows for manufacturing tolerance variations.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electrical pulse circuits
IPC: H03K3/284
Filed: 1959-06-30
Abstract: 926,420. Binary circuits. PHILCO CORPORATION. June 30, 1959 [June 30, 1958], No. 22379/59. Class 40 (6). In a binary circuit input pulses are applied to a series " AND " gate and to a control device which in response to alternate pulses opens the " AND " gate to allow these pulses to proceed to the gate output terminal, the control device being reset by the output pulses. The circuit described comprises a bi-stable circuit 10 and an " AND " gate 64. The first input pulse at terminal 108 renders a transistor 20 conducting so that the transistor 32 of the bi-stable state is cut off and transistor 30 rendered conducting. The resulting pulse at point C is applied through a delay network 112 to a base of transistor 80 to render it conducting. The next input pulse accordingly passes via the base of a transistor 66 through the " AND " gate to an output amplifier 92. In addition the pulse from the gate renders a transistor 48 non-conducting so that the current through transistor 30 is interrupted and the bi-stable circuit is returned to its initial condition. Thus, alternate output pulses pass directly through the gate to the output amplifier. The delay circuit 112 may be replaced by a delay line or may be omitted, the delay being obtained by using a gating circuit 64 having a slot switching time or a bi.stable circuit having a slow switching time or by a combination of these delays.

Abstract: 412,788. Knitting. STANDARDTRUMP BROS. MACHINE CO., Laconia, New Hampshire, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Shelmire, S. R. ; Laconia, New Hampshire, U.S.A.) Aug. 10, 1933, No. 22412. Convention date, July 8. [Class 74 (ii).] In a rotary-reciprocating machine for knitting a split foot stocking &c. with leg and instep patterned by wrap yarns, and having devices for producing a limited overlap without floats of the yarns which form the split work the yarns are taken out of action and cut and clamped by means located outside the path of the wrap yarns. These comprise main and auxiliary cutters and clamps. The main device 136, 138, is located between the main yarn feed fingers 72, 76. The auxiliary device 222, 224, 226 is pivoted on a vertical axis located beyond the fingers 72, 76 in the direction of movement of the needle-cylinder during rotary knitting. Fig. 14 shows the product. The embroidery stripes B of the leg A are continued down the instep and separated from the sole E the heel D and the high splice by an overlap F three needles wide. The heel and toe are made of one yarn and the sole and high splice of another. In knitting the leg, the finger 72 is kept in action by withdrawal of a follower 84 from the control cam 98. The heel yarn finger 74 is held out of action by control levers 114, 116, the yam being gripped by blades 160, 162. The sole yarn finger 76 is held out of action by means similar to the detents 102, 104 for holding out the finger 72. The yarn from the finger is held in the latch ring slot 180 by the auxiliary clamp &c. away from the needles. When the high splice C is to be made the sole needles are caused to fail to take wrap yarns by placing the corresponding wrap finger cam out of action or otherwise, the finger 76 being released and the auxiliary clamp &c. brought back into action. The fingers 72, 76 are caused to operate alternately. Their vibration between active and inactive positions is effected by cams 98, 124 acting on followers such as 84 to produce overlap. The followers are universally pivoted as at 90, 92 and are put out of action by being moved at right angles to the direction in which they are moved by their cams. At the yarn change preliminary to knitting the heel D the yarn from the finger 74, which comes into action at this time, is held away from the wrap yarns by co-operating hooks 172, 166. The wrap yarn head is journalled in a bracket pivoted on the same shaft as the latch ring and can be moved in time with the needle-cylinder or be shogged to produce zig-zag designs. U.S.A. Specification 1,161,677 is referred to.
