Abstract: 577,741. Locomotives. SOC. ANON. DES ATELIERS DE CONSTRUCTION DE JAMBES-NAMUR (ANCIENS ETABLISSEMENTS T. FINET). March 27, 1940, No. 5551. Convention date, April 25, 1939. [Class 79 (i)] [Also in Group XXXII] Apparatus for moving a vehicle of the kind comprising a frame supported from the track by a driven wheel or wheels and carrying a head arranged to engage the vehicle frame, comprises adjustment means for the head and a mounting device therefor, whereby if due to travel of the vehicle in advance of the apparatus the head is engaged by a projecting part on the vehicle frame, it is caused to swing downwardly to clear the projecting part. The apparatus shown comprises a frame 3 pivoted upon the axle 5 of a wheel 6 running on a rail 7 and provided with an auxiliary wheel 12 and handles 11. The frame 3 carries also a driving motor 4 for the wheel 6. A head 8 adapted to engage the frame 2 of the vehicle to be moved is mounted on a member 9 slidable in a casing 10 secured to the' frame 3 and held in adjusted position by engagement with a rack thereon of a spring-urged stop 22 pivoted at 23 in the casing. The stop is connected by a cable 27 to a hand lever 26 by which it can be disengaged to lower the head. Raising of the head is effected by oscillating a lever 17 carrying a pawl 18 arranged for engaging the rack and connected by a cable 16 to a lever 13, 25 which can be actuated either by a handle 13 or by a knee piece 25. The head 8 comprises side plates 30 provided with catches 32, 33 which normally engage horizontal parts 36 of slots formed in a member 28 by which the head is supported on the part 9. The head 8 is also provided with a pivot 38 movable in a slot 37 in the member 28. If, due to travel of the vehicle 2 in advance of the apparatus, a projecting part, such as 29, on the vehicle engages the head, it is first moved horizontally until the catches 32, 33 leave the slots 36 and then swings downwardly about the pivot 38 against the action of a spring 42.

Abstract: 1,183,632. Analysing body fluids. TECHNICON CORP. 8 Feb., 1967, No. 5920/67. Heading B1X. A process for the analysis of a plurality of sample liquids, for example body fluids, from sample containers 300 comprises transmitting the samples through take-off tube 303 as a flowing stream of successive samples, dividing the stream in tubes 306 of proportioning pump 304 into a plurality of quotient streams, analysing each quotient stream at a respective analysis means 314a-314g and obtaining a plurality of signals each responsive to a single characteristic of the respective streams, recording by means of primary recorder 320 a portion of each of the signals and also indicating on monitoring recorder or meter 326 an additional overlapping portion of at least one of the signals. The flow times of each quotient stream may be adjusted using phasers 330 (Specification 1183631) so that primary recorder 320 records the peak portion of each signal in turn, while monitoring recorder 326 may record the whole of each signal. Each time the primary recorder switches in or out there is produced a step in the monitoring signal. The analysis may include dialysis (at 308), gas separation (at 310), determination of albumin using HABA (2-(4'-hydroxyazobenzene) benzoic acid) reagent, total protein using biuret, glucose using orcinol, and urea nitrogen using diacetyl monoxime and ferric alum, and determination of chlorides and CO 2 , all colorimetrically, and determination of sodium and potassium by flame photometry.

Abstract: 1,138,332. Oxycarboxylates of antimony and arsenic. UNITED STATES BORAX & CHEMICAL CORP. 9 Feb., 1966 [11 Feb., 1965], No. 6001/65. Heading C2C. The invention comprises compounds of arsenic and antimony of the formula (RO) n -M-(O-D-X) 3-n  wherein M is As or Sb, n is 0, 1 or 2, R is an alkyl, aryl, or alkenyl group, D is a divalent metal or divalent metal radical and X is a carboxylic acid group. Specified values of D are Co, Zn, Ca, Mg, Pb, Cd, Ba, Cu and Mn and the radical -ZrO-. Preferred radicals R are those containing up to 20 carbon atoms and preferred acids are those containing at least 6 carbon atoms. The compounds are prepared by heating a divalent metal salt of a carboxylic acid and an ester of arsenious or antimonious acid. The divalent metal salt may be derived from two different acids or may be a basic salt; in the latter instance a further carboxylic acid may be added to the reaction mixture. The alcohol, phenol or ester liberated in the reaction may be removed, e.g. by distillation. When trialkyl arsenite ester reactants are used, the ester may be formed in situ from the alcohol and arsenious oxide. The divalent metal salt reactants may be obtained from the metal oxide and the carboxylic acid.

Abstract: 457,245. Registering - mechanism. BLACK, H. D., 39, St. James's Street, Pall Mall, Westminster, and WEBB, C. F., Dean Way Eastcote, Middlesex. Feb. 28, 1936, No. 6071. [Class 106 (i)] Zeroizing-mechanism.-Each of the numeral wheels of a taximeter or other registering- mechanism is reset to zero by means of a lever with a pair of noses which when the lever is actuated co-operate with a projection carried on one side of the wheel and radially displaced from the axis thereof, the movement being completed when the projection contacts with the two noses. The axis of the numeral wheels is disposed between the paths of movement of the noses. As shown in Fig. 1, a numeral wheel 1, driven by a ratchet 3 and pawl 4 operatively connected to a driving cam 7, carries a roller 18. When the wheel is to be restored to zero position a shaft 14 is rotated and a cam 13 thereon rocks a lever 15, with two noses 24, 25, towards the axis of the wheel. During this movement one or other of the noses meets the roller 18 and causes the wheel to move until the roller 18 engages the two noses as shown in Fig. 3. During the resetting operation, the cam 13 acts through a lever 11 to rock the lever 5 carrying the driving pawl 4 so as to withdraw the pawl 4 and the detent 20 from operative position.
