Patent GB-434580-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of vinyl alcohol
IPC: C07C33/025
Filed: 1934-11-24
Abstract: Vinyl alcohol is made by saponifying a vinyl ester or ether under such conditions that acetaldehyde is not formed, by maintaining a moderate temperature.  Thus the theoretical quantity of normal caustic soda solution is added in small portions to a vinyl ester such as the formate, acetate or butyrate, at 20 DEG  C., while shaking.  The vinyl alcohol may be extracted with ether which may then be removed by distillation under reduced pressure.  Vinyl ethers are saponified by acids or by fat-splitting agents.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 mentions vinyl acetals as initial materials.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-486861-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the icing of or the application of cream or the like to biscuits
IPC: A21C15/00
Filed: 1936-12-10
Abstract: 486,861. Coating biscuits. MACFARLANE, R. F., PRESCOTT, W. E., and BAKER PERKINS, Ltd. Dec. 10, 1936, No. 33911. [Class 28 (i)] In a machine for icing biscuits, a rotary drum having stencil openings 19 is lapped by a band 20 on which the icing shapes are laid, the shapes being subsequently removed from the band by a wire stripper 37 and applied to biscuits y on travelling supports 47. The drum is closed at one end and, at the other end, is provided with an upstanding flange 11 which leaves a central opening through which an icing supply pipe 46 projects. The drum is revoluble on a stub shaft 12 which supports a bracket 29 carrying a strickle 31. The band 20 may be of thin steel, or such flexible material as rawhide, patent leather or Pegamoid, and may be trained over two rollers to embrace the lower part only of the stencil drum. As shown, however, the band is trained over rollers 21... 24, the roller 21 being adjustable for tensioning. The band is cleaned by a scraper 32 carried by a yoke 33 pivoted on an arm 34 associated with the mounting of the roller 21. A scraper 35 cleans the drum, the cream removed by the scrapers falling into the tray 36. The stripping wire 37 is carried by a pivoted yoke 38 having an arm 39 the end of which lies between springs 40, 41. on a control rod 42 coupled to a lever arm 43 by which the wire 37 can be moved to and from the operative position. The arm 39 moves between adjustable limit stops 44, 45. Means may be provided whereby the wire 37 is adjustable longitudinally of the band. The drum is driven through bevel gearing and the band is driven by frictional engagement therewith. The drum may be angularly adjustable on its rotating support to ensure that the deposited shapes register with the biscuits y, the supports 47 of which may be raised to receive the shapes. The drum is removable from its rotating support, to permit a drum with different stencil openings to be used, and the band may be positively driven. Alternatively, the band may be driven and impart rotation to the drum. In a further arrangement, the shapes are received from the drum upon a paper or other web drawn from a spool or supply, the web passing over a guide roller and along a rectilinear path in contact with a guide plate, where the shapes are removed by the wire stripper. The travel of the web may be effected by pairs of feed rollers which grip the edges of the web, or a draw-off roll arranged to re-wind the web:

Abstract: 1,007,429. Cutting by fusion. UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION. Aug. 28, 1963 [Sept. 13, 1962], No. 33987/63. Heading B3V. [Also in Division H5] An arc plasma torch includes a cup-shaped electrode coaxially disposed at one end of an arc chamber provided with tangential gas inlet ports, the other end of the arc chamber having a coaxial outlet leading into a plasma-confining tube in the form of a nozzle having a ratio of length to inside diameter between 1À2 to 1 and 3 to 1. As shown, a torch T comprises a cupshaped electrode 14 which is separated from a nozzle 16 by an arc chamber 10 electrically insulated from the electrode 14 by an insulator 11. Arc gas from an inlet 13 passes into the chamber 10 through a passage 18 and tangential ports 12, and a cooling fluid for the torch passes from an inlet 20, through passages 22, 24, 28 and 30 to an outlet 32 ; the electrode 14 is cooled by a coolant introduced through an inlet 34. It is stated that the provision of a nozzle of the prescribed dimensions enables the torch to produce a stable, high temperature, high voltage (e.g. exceeding 150 V) arc plasma which may be used for welding, cutting, metal scarfing and metal melting. A water-cooled copper coil may be placed around the electrode 14 to produce a magnetic field. The electrode may be of copper, silver, aluminium, zirconium, molybdenum tungsten or carbon depending upon which gases are used to operate the device.

Title: Binary adder
IPC: G06F7/50
Filed: 1961-09-22
Abstract: 933,534. Transistor logic circuits. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Sept. 28, 1961 [Oct. 17, 1960], No. 34073/61. Class 40 (6). [Also in Group XIX] A binary adder comprises a plurality of majority-minority gates, i.e. gates each having an odd number of inputs, a majority output providing an output of the same value as the majority of the inputs, and a minority output providing an output of the same value as the minority of the inputs. In each gate, Fig. 2, a biased transistor 14 remains non-conducting when none, or only one, of three input terminals A, B, C receive pulses of - 6 volts, indicative of binary " 1's." Substantially no current passes through a transformer 16 so that the majority output d from winding 17 is zero and the minority output e from oppositely wound winding 18 is - 6 volts indicating a binary "1." When two or more pulses are received at the inputs, transistor 14 conducts and voltages of - 6 volts and + 6 volts are induced in the windings 17, 18, respectively, giving outputs of "1" and "0" at the majority and minority terminals, respectively. In a modification, Fig. 3, a second transistor 33 is biased so that it conducts until it receives a pulse from transistor 32, and the latter only conducts when two or more pulses of - 6 volts are received at the inputs A, B, C.

Abstract: 1355410 Marking materials GERBER GARMENT TECHNOLOGY Inc 22 July 1971 [15 Jan 1971] 34463/71 Heading D1G [Also in Division B2] Sheets of material 12 are marked by a needle 16 moveable by a carriage 18 and needle head 15 in two directions over the sheets under the control of a computor 26 which also controls the reciprocation of the needle and the ejection therefrom of marking dye. The marking, material is ejected as the needle is withdrawn from the pile so that the sheets therein are marked. The reciprocation of the needle can be effected by a double acting hydraulic piston and cylinder arrangement and the location of the needle by inching motors under the control of a suitable programmed magnetic tape 27. The position of the needle in three dimensions is sensed in order to determine the required direction of movement to a new location. In an alternative embodiment a similar locating arrangement is provided which mounts a cutter and the needle follows the path of the cutter to spread adhesive on the cut edges of the sheets and thus prevent them from fraying.
