Filed: 1928-01-07
Abstract: 309,224. General Electric Co., Ltd., and Campbell, N. R. Jan. 7, 1928. Addition to 306,996. Vacuum tubes.-A photo-electric cell having a red-sensitive cathode according to the parent Specification, is filled with hydrogen. Constancy of the hydrogen filling may be ensured by providing a palladium tube in the cell. The support for the sensitive film is of a metal other than silver or platinum, and is preferably copper or zinc. A preliminary layer of silver, formed on the bottom of the cell, is washed, dried, and heated to 100‹ C. for 15 minutes. The cell is then supported with the silvered coating vertical and is filled with a coppering solution. A current of about 2 milliamperes per square centimetre is passed through the solution for 15 minutes, with a copper wire as anode and the silvered coating as cathode. The conditions should be adjusted so that the copper surface is a matt chocolate brown. The cell is washed, dried, and baked for a few minutes at 300‹ C. so as to oxidize the surface of the copper. The film of potassium is formed as described in the parent Specification, and hydrogen is admitted. The coppering solution is formed by preparing freshly precipitated copper carbonate by adding a solution of 400 grams of crystallized copper sulphate in 2 litres of water to a solution of 100 grams of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 1 litre of water. The mixed solution is allowed to stand for one hour and the precipitate is filtered off and washed. The precipitated copper carbonate is gradually added in excess to 60 grams of acid potassium tartrate dissolved in 1 litre of boiling water. The solution is filtered and allowed to stand for several days until the deposition of a blue precipitate ceases or becomes very slow. Specification 291,763 also is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for washing crockery, domestic utensils and the like
IPC: A47L15/46
Filed: 1942-04-15
Abstract: 558,739. Washing plates, dishes &c. LEECH, H. C. April 15, 1942, No. 593. [Class 138 (i)] A machine for washing crockery and domestic utensils &c. is constructed of a casing a divided into a bottom compartment a' containing two reservoirs a<SP>6</SP> for cleaning and rinsing liquids, a motor f for driving a pump e associated with a time-control device which may also control an immersion heater or heaters for the liquids, and three superposed compartments a', a2, a3 each with its own door. A common delivery pipe d leads from the pump to all the compartments a<SP>1</SP>, a<SP>2</SP>, a<SP>3</SP>, and a separate valve d<SP>1</SP> is provided for each compartment, and valves are operated to connect the pump e first to the reservoir with cleansing fluid, and then to the one with rinsing fluid, the liquid which drains from the compartments being in each case returned to the appropriate reservoir via a return pipe j<SP>6</SP>. One form of valve is shown in Fig. 3, and comprises a piston rod i which is operated by lever which controls the motor switch and actuates valves i<SP>1</SP>, h<SP>1</SP> to direct pressure fluid from pipes to one side of the piston g<SP>1</SP> with consequent motion of the piston away from the open valve. The motion of the piston causes ultimately an opening of the other valve and a reversal of the motion of the piston with reversal of the liquid supply. The rate of movement of the piston is controlled by valves operable by knobs u or u<SP>1</SP>, Fig. 3, which thus give a time control. The valve h<SP>4</SP> has attached to it a solid part with ports h<SP>4</SP> h5, and a pivoted tubular member m with a port m<SP>2</SP> and a tubular liner m with a closed inner end m<SP>4</SP> and formed with a port m<SP>5</SP>. As shown in Fig. 3 the valve is set to supply rinsing liquid to the pipe d and return to the reservoir a<SP>6</SP>, and in the other extreme position of the piston cleansing liquid is supplied. When both valves h<SP>1</SP>, i<SP>1</SP> are shut the liquid drains via channels c<SP>1</SP> and a pipe c to the return pipe j<SP>6</SP>. The rod i operates by ratchet mechanism a switch which controls the operation of the motor f. The control of liquid to the pipes p<SP>1</SP>, p, Fig. 7, in the compartments a<SP>1</SP>, a<SP>2</SP>, a<SP>3</SP> may be effected by spring closed valves which are opened automatically on closing of the doors. Spigots connected to the pipes may engage the valves to open them. The articles may be supported on a basket o, Fig. 7, mounted on wheels and formed at one end with spaced divisions o<SP>1</SP>. Large articles may be supported on inclined tabular racks r, Fig. 9, connected to the supply valve.

Abstract: Cellulose ester flake held into rod shape by a wrapper is bonded at its points of contact, e.g. by heat.  Cellulose acetate or triacetate, or cellulose propionate, butyrate, acetate-propionate or acetate-butyrate alone or mixed with cellulose acetate may be used. The flake may be such as to pass through a sieve having 4 mm. openings but not through one having 0.84 mm. openings and may be plasticized with 5 to 30% of its weight of di-methoxyethyl phthalate, methyl phthalyl ethyl glycollate, triethyl citrate and/or triacetin, or with triacetin and mono-octyl diphenyl phosphate.  The plasticcizer may be sprayed on to the flake which may be tumbled during and/or after application, or the flake may be immersed in a placticizer bath, e.g. a solution of plasticizer in a volatile non-solvent for the flake or an aqueous emulsion of plasticizer, the water or non-solvent being preferably evaporated before the flake is wrapped.  Wrapping in cigarette paper may be effected by a continuous rod method.  Heating may be effected in a hot air oven, e.g. at 140 DEG  C. for two hours or 170 DEG  C. for one hour using secondary cellulose acetate flake plasticized with 20% of triethyl citrate, or may be dispensed with if a plasticizer active at room temperature, e.g. triacetin, is used, the wrapped rod containing 20% plasticizer merely being allowed to stand for, say, two hours. The rod may be cut into intermediate lengths before bonding, and after bonding is cut into individual or double filter-tip lengths for further wrapping with tobacco in cigarette paper to form mouthpiece cigarettes directly or after subdivision.  The original wrapper may be removed prior to such further wrapping and to this end may be a continuous-rod machine wrapping belt instead of paper.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the manufacture of low-phosphorus basic bessemer steel
IPC: C21C5/28
Filed: 1937-01-08
Abstract: In the manufacture of low-phosphorus basic Bessemer steel, the slag is separated from the steel after the first blowing, and further basic materials are added, the fresh charge being then blown for such a short period that, whilst the phosphorus content is decreased, undue loss of the iron in the converter is prevented.  As basic materials, lime, which may be replaced wholly or in part by dolomite or magnesite or other compounds of alkaline earth metals, may be used and may be accompanied by other materials to promote fluidity of the slag such as sand, fluorspar, calcium chloride, iron ore or mill scale.  Deoxidizing or alloying elements such as ferro-manganese, spiegeleisen, silicon, titanium, zirconium, aluminium, copper, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt or vanadium or mixtures thereof may be added to the steel either in the converter, ladle or mould.  In an example, the usual slag after the first blowing is poured off as completely as possible and then 1000 lb. of lime and 60 lb. of sand added for every 20 tons of steel fluid added. The steel is then blown for about 20 seconds and then tapped.
