IPC: A23L1/168
Filed: 1969-07-04
Abstract: 1,225,070. Producing enriched artificial rice. AJINOMOTO CO. Inc. 4 July, 1969 [11 July, 1968], No. 33924/69. Heading A2Q. Enriched artificial rice is produced by a process which comprises kneading a mixture of natural rice powder and nutrient with water, adjusting the water content of the mixture to from 20 to 50 per cent. by weight, heating the resulting paste with steam until starch granules in the rice powder are semi-gelatinized, then forming the steam-treated paste into grains, e.g. by rolling into sheets, which are then passed to a double roller granulator, or alternatively by means of a macaroni-form granulator, and drying the grains until their water content is reduced to 15 per cent. by weight or below. The preferred water content is from 5 to 15 per cent. by weight. The temperature of the drying air is preferably 80C. The nutrient is one or more of the following: an amino acid, a vitamin, a mineral. Preferably 15 to 50 per cent. by weight of L-lysine, L-threonine, L- or DL-methionine or L- or DL-tryptophan are employed as the nutrient.

Title: Thermal cracking of heavy petroleum oils
IPC: C10G9/32
Filed: 1954-11-23
Abstract: <PICT:0774924/III/1> Heavy hydrocarbon oils are cracked by introducing the oil into a coking zone containing a dense fluidized bed of hot noncatalytic solid particles, the cracked vapours are subjected to fractionation to obtain gasoline and gas oil, the bottoms material from the fractionator is submitted to vacuum distillation to separate further gas oil, and the tar withdrawn as residue from the vacuum distillation zone is recycled to the coking zone.  The gas oils obtained in the process are suitable for catalytic cracking.  Crude petroleum, preheated to about 600 DEG -800 DEG F., is introduced through line 1 into atmosphere fractionator 10, from which light gases, naphtha and gas oil are withdrawn through lines 2, 3 and 4 respectively.  Topped crude, withdrawn from the base of fractionator 10, is passed through line 5, together with the bottoms material from cracked-products-fractionator 60, into vacuum distillation chamber 20 where further amounts of gas oil are separated.  The vacuum crude, withdrawn from the base of chamber 20, is transferred via line 7 to coking vessel 30, where it is sprayed through nozzles into a dense fluidized bed of coke particles at a temperature of about 900 DEG -1050 DEG F.  The vapours formed in the coker pass out through the cyclone 40, and are introduced through line 14 into fractionator 60.  Gases are withdrawn from the head of fractionator 60; and gas oil is removed through line 17.  The bottoms material from fractionator 60 is passed via line 18 to line 5.  Coke particles are withdrawn from the coker via line 8; and are conveyed by air to transfer line burner 70 where partial combustion is effected.  The re-heated particles are returned to the coker via flue gas/solids separator 50.  Excess coke may be withdrawn from the system via line 12.

Filed: 1930-11-13
Abstract: 367,369. Trollies ; propelling. CHRISTIANSEN, H., 80, Fahltskamp, Pinneburg, Germany. Nov. 13, 1930, No. 34208. Convention date, Nov. 16, 1929. [Classes 103 (iii) and 108 (i).] A motor-driven pusher or locomotive running on rails or road for manoeuvring railway vehicles and in which the weight of the vehicle to be moved is utilized to increase the adhesion weight of the pusher, engages the vehicle by means of a thrust rod m sloping upwardly in the direction of travel so that the vertical component of the thrust reacts on the pusher and increases the pressure of its wheels on the track. In the construction shown the pusher wheels run on a single rail and are made with broad cylindrical surfaces as shown so that they can run on the ground. The rod m is pivoted at l to the main frame c to which balance levers f, g carrying the wheels h<1> .. h<4> are pivoted at d, e, respectively, so that the load on each wheel is equal. More than four wheels may be used with a suitable arrangement of balance levers. The wheels may be covered with flexible material such as rubber or leather. An internal-combustion engine a drives all four wheels through chain gearing j<1> .. j<4> arranged as shown. The end of the rod m, which may be double as shown in broken lines in Fig. 2, is suitably shaped to engage the frame or buffer or other part of the vehicle.

Title: Valve current monitor for use with electric power converters
IPC: H02M7/757
Filed: 1973-02-23
Abstract: 1430749 Controlling converters GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 23 Feb 1973 [25 Feb 1972] 34419/75 Divided out of 1401127 Heading H2F In a current monitor for a three phase bridge converter in which the duration of current in each element of each series-connected pair is monitored by a current transformer, the secondary voltage of the current transformer is formed into square wave shape and the signals corresponding to the duration of the respective elements of each pair are separated, each separating circuit is arranged to delay the start of its output signal by a predetermined time and preferably to extend the duration by the same or a different predetermined time. The delay thus prevents spurious pulses due to currents in the snubber circuit connected across each main converting element. The circuit is applicable for use with the margin angle control arrangements described in Specification 1,365,817. As described, the secondary of the current transformer is bridged by two series chains of diodes which form the secondary voltages into square waves. The positive half of the square wave turns on transistor 45 which discharges capacitor 46 through resistor 184. After 160 Ás transistor 51 is turned off giving the beginning of a pulse on line 52. At the end of the positive pulse from the current transformer, transistor 45 is turned off so that capacitor 46 charges via resistor 182 and diode 183. After a further 160 Ás, transistor 51 is turned on, terminating the pulse on line 52. A further circuit (not shown) is arranged to be responsive to the negative part of the square wave of the current transformer, the two circuits being cross coupled so that only one is operative at any one time.

Front thread guides 104 are mounted on a front rocking frame which is reciprocated along a rock-shaft 13 by levers 119, rocked by master and follower pattern-wheels 115, 116 on a shaft 110 driven from the cam-shaft 6, a cam 135, on a shaft 111 geared to shaft 110, also acting on rollers on spring-urged rods 138. By a similar arrangement, Fig. 28 (not shown), the back thread-guide racking bar is reciprocated. Forks 199 on the front thread guides and hooks 192 on the back thread guides ensure separation of adjacent threads. Fig. 45 shows a fabric knitted of a thread T from the front thread guides and a thread T<SP>1</SP> from the rear guides. Figs. 46 and 47 (not shown), depict the corresponding fabrics made when using only the front or the rear thread guides.

Starting with the lowest pair of rails 6<SP>1</SP> level with the conveyer 3, a tray 2 is fed on to them by a pusher 5. The rails are stepped down one space, and the next tray (which has in the meantime been fed by the conveyers 1, 3) is fed by the pusher 5 on to the next lowest pair of rails 6<SP>1</SP>. When four pairs of rails 6<SP>1</SP> have been loaded in this way, the trays 2 now carried by them, are at the correct level to be deflected by a pusher 8<SP>1</SP> on to correspondingly spaced pairs of rails on the van 10. At the same time as the pusher 8 operates, the pusher 5 feeds a tray on to the fifth from bottom pair of rails. The rails are now stepped up again three times, each pair receiving a tray at each movement. An upper pusher 9<SP>1</SP> now feeds into the van, the trays of the top four pairs of rails 6<SP>1</SP>. The pusher 9<SP>1</SP> is deflected clear of the pusher 5, and the latter then successively fills the rails left vacant by the last operation of the pusher 9<SP>1</SP>.
