Title: Method of and apparatus for treating grain
IPC: C13K1/00
Filed: 1972-10-05
Abstract: 1391070 Drying grain PHILDON ENG CO PTY Ltd 5 Oct 1972 [5 Oct 1971] 46011/72 Heading F4G [Also in Division C6] The steeping, germinating, drying and kilning of ceral grain in malting is carried out in an apparatus consisting essentially of a rotatable horizontal drum 2, Fig. 3, having a grain compartment 6 bounded by a perforated floor 8, Figs. 3 and 4, and the apparatus includes provision 9, Figs. 3 and 6, at one end of the drum for loading the grain compartment with grain and discharging it therefrom and, at the other end, detachable, piston-operated, conduiting 31, Figs. 3 and 7, providing (when connected to the drum) for the flow and recirculation of air from an inlet line 27 into a compartment 7 of the drum and back through the grain compartment 8 and outlet line 28. Water for the steeping and germinating is introduced and extracted through a conduit 44, while air for operating pneumatic appliances in the drum enters through conduit 45. These are coupled to a rotary gland 46 and enter the drum coaxially in the centre of the drum wall. Some liquid is left in compartment 7 until after the germination. Grain admitted into screw conveyer 12 through a duct 15 is urged by the screw into the blades 16 of an impeller which propel the grain laterally through a pneumatically operated closure flap 17, Fig. 4, into the grain compartment 8. Angularly arranged flights 26 assist in spreading the grain along the length of the compartment as the drum is rotated. Discharging of grain is effected by reversing the rotation of the drum and screw conveyer 12 and opening a door 24. As a result the grain is urged into the transfer chamber 19 and from there it passes along the screw to an outlet opening 69 During germination recirculated air, together with some fresh air entering duct 51, Fig. 8, through an opening 67, is humidified by sprays 62 of water and is blown by a single fan 61 into the inlet line 27. For kilning, fresh air entering through lourves 55 is heated over a fire box 58 and two fans are employed. (For Figures see next page.)

Abstract: 1,236,492. Moulding plastic substances. TENNECO CHEMICALS Inc. 30 Sept., 1968 [28 Sept., 1967], No. 46373/68. Heading B5A. A method of forming sheets with a textured surface or a set of individual articles from liquid or viscous plastics material comprises compressing an endless belt with a multiplicity of moulding cavities located in one surface thereof, releasing the pressure with the belt surface below the surface of a reservoir of plastics material, repeating the compressing and releasing steps at least once and removing the endless belt with its cavities full of plastics material from the mould. The endless belt is preferably made of silicone rubber and has 10,000- 500,000 minute mould cavities per square inch. The plastics material is preferably a poly-vinyl chloride plastisol. In the embodiment shown, the flexible belt 1 has cavities of depth 0À010 to 0À625 inch in its surface 2. The belt moves over roller 3 and enters the moulding zone 10 defined by sides 11 and 12. The belt is compressed between rollers 4 and 5 forcing air out of the cavities and the pressure is released under the surface of the reservoir 7 of plastics material. The belt is recompressed between rollers 5 and 6 and is allowed to expand under reservoir 8; the coated belt then passing under mould side 12 and through backing curing and stripping stations (not shown). Transfer of plastics material between the reservoirs is minimized by squeegees 16, 17 held in place by supports 18 and 19. The belt may be wetted with plastics material before the first compression step by filling the space between roller 4 and mould wall 11 with liquid plastics material. A finished sheet may have the appearance of suede.

Abstract: 1,195,509. Hot water systems. DANFOSS A.S. 2 Oct., 1968 [7 Oct., 1967], No. 46804/68. Heading F4A. In a central heating installation having room heaters 4 supplied with hot water through a line 1 from a district heating system and a domestic hot water heat exchanger 11 connected across the supply and return lines 1, 2 of the heaters 4 so as to be heated by water tapped from line 1 means are provided to satisfy the heat requirements of the heat exchanger 11 in preference to those of the heaters 4. The means comprises a connecting line 18 between line 1 and a point 19 in line 2 intermediate a control valve 5 and a metering baffle 6. Valve 5 controls the flow of hot water through the heaters 4 in response to the pressure difference between a point downstream of baffle 6 and a point 22 upstream of a metering baffle or needle valve 21 in connecting line 18. The latter also includes a valve 20 controlled in response to the temperature of the heated water leaving the heat exchanger 11 through a line 15 for domestic use. The flow of hot water from line 1 to heat the heat exchanger 11 is controlled by a valve 16, also in response to the temperature of the water leaving through line 15. When no heat exchanger heating is required, valves 16, 20 remain shut and all the hot water in line 1 flows to the heaters 4 and then through a preheater 13 in the return line 2. If the temperature of the water leaving through line 15 drops, valve 16 opens to divert same of the hot water from line 1 to heat the heat exchanger 11. At the same time, or when the heat exchanger temperature has fallen still further, valve 20 opens to cause a rise in water pressure at point 22 so that an actuator 7 progressively shuts the control valve 5 and all the hot water from line 1 passes to the heat exchanger 11. The heaters 4 may include hot water control valves responsive to air temperature.

Abstract: 1357576 Digital computers; interrupt HONEYWELL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Inc 11 Oct 1971 [30 Dec 1970] 47319/71 Heading G4A A digital electric data processing system has an interrupt priority means located in one or more central system controllers 12 for providing communication control by each processor 10, 11 in a multi-processor system. The controller masks or disables the interruption of a processor performing a program that is of a higher level than the program requested by an interrupting unit and permits the interruption of a processor executing a program which is of a lower level than the program requested by the interrupting unit. Mask registers are provided in the controller 12 which store the priority rating of the program being processed by a processor and another register stores the interrupt request for processing time or access to a unit in the system. The mask registers selectively prevent the interrupt from being serviced by the processor associated with the mask registers by disabling priority select interrupt logic circuitry that prevents the transmission of the interrupt signals to the processor. On the completion of the program by the processor, the latter requests the highest priority interrupt signal stored in the interrupt register, the interrupt signals being sent to the interrupt registers by the units requesting an interrupt. Priority rating signals place the interrupt signal in priority tree logic circuitry which permits the servicing of interrupts at the highest level first by any of the processors thus providing for the servicing of the interrupts by several processors set as control processors rather than having only one processor servicing interrupts. There is one interrupt register and one mask register for each control module, and supervisory software can load the mask register with suitable bits to prevent undesired interrupts. Also mentioned are branching, magnetic drums, discs, tapes and cores, parallel data transfer, parity bits, instruction counters and repeat transmission of data in case of error.
