Title: Carton with an opening device in an end closure
IPC: B65D5/70

Abstract: 1,087,592. Cartons. PROCTER & GAMBLE CO. April 2, 1965 [April 3, 1964], No. 14051/65. Heading B8P. A tab 38, Fig. 3, on the inner end panel 19 of a carton is glued down on to a side panel 14 at the hinged end of the tab (i.e. between the score lines 27<SP>1</SP>, 39), the tapering outer portion, which is free or lightly glued down, serving as a lifting strip for tearing the end of the canton open. To facilitate opening, score lines 37 are made in the surface of the side panel 14 in the area to which the tab 38 is glued, so that only the outer fibres of the panel are torn away. Below the scored area, the panel 14 is treated to prevent the glue from providing a firm adhesive attachment between the tab and panel 14. In the embodiment, the carton is folded up from a blank, Fig. 1, into the form of a rectangular sleeve. A bottom closure is made by folding in the flaps 17, 18, 20, 22 respectively, having previously applied adhesive to the inner surface of the flaps 20, 22. Tabs 33, 34 are then glued down against their corresponding side panels 13, 14. After filling, the top is glued in a similar manner. To open the sealed carton, the tab 38 pulled up, tearing the flap 21 along the fold line 23 and the inner flap 19 along a perforation 44 to a fold line 42. A scored line (45), Fig. 5 (not shown), on the inner surface of the flap 19 limits splitting of the layers of the tab 38 should this occur. After each dispensing operation the tab 38 may be tacked inside the container parallel to the inner surface of the panel 14, the finger notch permitting sufficient purchase on the tucked-in tab 38 to aid reopening of the package.

Title: Electric signal translating devices utilizing semiconductive bodies
IPC: H03F3/04
Filed: 1950-06-06
Abstract: 694,041. Semi-conductor amplifiers. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO., Inc. June 6, 1950 [June 9, 1949], No. 14082/50. Class 40 (iv). [Also in Group XL (b)] An electric signal translating device of the transistor type comprises a semi-conductor body having a grain boundary or thin layer of one conductivity type between two zones of opposite conductivity type, and connections to each of the two zones and to the layer or boundary. Semi-conductor material of predetermined conductivity type may be prepared as described in Specifications 632,942, [Group XL (b)], and 632,980, [Group XL (c)], which relate to germanium or as in Specifications 592,260, 592,303, [both in Group XL], or 669,399, [Group XL (b)], which relate to silicon, and it has been found that crystal boundaries consisting of a thin layer of one conductivity type between two zones of opposite conductivity type may exist in bodies of such material.' These boundaries may be located by microscopic examination, or by passing a lights spot along the surface and observing reversals in the direction of photo current measured between opposite end regions of the body. Fig. 4 shows a semi-conductor block 10 of N-type material having a thin layer 19 of conductivity type which extends to and is in electrical contact with the base electrode 13. Emitter and collector electrodes 11 and 12 are positioned on opposite sides of the layer, and are spaced 2 or 3 mils apart. If two closely adjacent layers 19 exist in the body both extending through to the base electrode 13, the central portion may be connected to one emitter or collector electrode, while the outer zones may be connected to two collector or emitter electrodes. The invention results in reduced base impedance in the transistor circuit, and avoids the resulting feed-back which may be undesirable in certain amplifiers. Specification 694,021 also is referred to.

Abstract: 1303763 Thermal regenerators TUNZINI AMELIORAIR SA 11 May 1971 [17 July 1970] 14329/71 Heading F4K  In a ceramic thermal regenerator 1 used to cool hot dust laden gases wherein the regenerator mass is alternately heated by hot dust laden gas and thereafter cooled by a countercurrent flow of cooling air from a blower 9, scavenging of the vertical passages 3 in the ceramic mass is effected, prior to the flow of cooling air, by passing air upwardly through one half of the mass and then downwardly through the other half; after a preselected time period the flow direction of the scavenging air through the mass is reversed. The chamber 8 below the ceramic mass is subdivided by a partition 12 into two parts 10, 11 each provided with independent inlet and outlet valves 13, 14, 15, 16 communicating the chamber respectively with the blower 9 and with an outlet duct 4 leading to dust separation apparatus. Reversal of the scavenging air flow through the mass is effected by reversing the positions of the control valves 13, 14, 15, 16; during scavenging an upper valve 5 remains closed. After scavenging has been completed valves 15 and 16 are closed and valves 5, 13 and 14 are opened thereby allowing cooling air to pass from the blower 9 upwardly through the regenerator mass to finally exit via valve 5.
