Abstract: 779,444. Furnace walls. BABCOCK & WILCOX, Ltd. Feb. 3, 1956 [Feb. 4, 1955], No. 3409/56. Class 51 (1). [Also in Group XIII] A pressure-fired forced-flow, once-through steam boiler comprises a cyclone furnace 1 discharging rearwardly into a secondary combustion chamber 4 from the lower part of which hot gases flow through a tube screen 5 into a vertical radiation pass 6 provided at the top with a lateral opening 7 leading to a downpass 8 which is divided by a partition into separate passes respectively containing superheater panels 9 and similarly formed reheater panels, the gas flows between the separate passes being controlled by outlet dampers. From the bottom of the downpass 8 a lateral pass 10 leads to an up-pass 11 containing a convection-heated transition zone tube bank 12 and an air heater 13. The cyclone furnace and the secondary furnace are cooled by water tubes and the lower part of the radiation pass 6 is also lined with sinuously bent water tubes 6d. The upper part of the passes 6, 8 are lined with superheater tubes. In operation water enters the cyclone furnace cooling tubes and flows therethrough and then serially through the secondary furnace tubes, the tubes 6d and those of the bank 12. From the bank 12 steam passes serially through the superheater tubes lining the passes 6, 8 and finally through the superheater panels 9. The boiler is supported on steel columns 17 spaced outwardly of the unit and connected by members 18 between which are provided vertical members 19. The weight of the walls of the passes 6, 8 is transmitted to the members 19 by horizontal rows of brackets 20, 20a welded to the members, T-section members 40 and I-section members 43 connecting the inner ends of the brackets 20, 20a respectively. The refractory inner layer 26 of the wall and the insulating backing layer 27 are supported on the members 40, 43. Outwardly of the layer 27 is a layer 28 of light insulating material backed by a gas-tight metal casing 24 outside of which is a further layer of insulating material 29 which, in operation, maintains the temperature of the casing 24 at about 200 C. so that condensation thereon with consequent corrosion, cannot occur. Flexible expansion joints 49, 50 are provided between the casing 24 and the sections thereof which are secured to the members 20, 20a. The lining tubes 6e are held to the wall by hooks which engage U-shaped elements welded to the tubes and in holes in the members 40 so as to permit of vertical expansion movements of the tubes.

Filed: 1976-01-29
Abstract: 1502545 Remote control of fastenings NISSAN MOTOR CO Ltd 29 Jan 1976 [31 Jan 1975] 03493/76 Heading E2A An externally accessible compartment (e.g. boot) of a motor vehicle is fastened by means which permit of it being unlocked by remote control from within the passenger compartment as well as by means of a key from outside. Lid 12 is held by means of a keeper 14 engaging in a rotatable latch plate 16 which is biased to the release position but, in the fastened condition, prevented from so moving by engagement with detent plate 30 which is biased into this engagement. The detent may be removed by pushing on lug 38 of the plate 30 by finger 58, movement of this finger being brought about by pressing on button 46 of cylinder lock 40 which forces plunger 42 out of casing 48, carrying crank arm 50 and finger 58 with it. When the fastening is in the locked position lug 38 and finger 58 are not in alignment, so movement of the finger 58 causes no contact. The unlocked position is produced either by insertion of key 44 and rotating it, causing plunger 42 to rotate to align finger 58 with the lug 38 or, from inside the car, by pulling on a knob which moves the core 68 of a Bowden cable and, via control rod 60 and link plate 62, moves finger 58 into the correct alignment.

Filed: 1954-08-18
Abstract: A strand of thermoplastic material which is adapted to be fed into a passage at one end, heated therein, and dispensed at the other end in a softened condition on to a workpiece where it is used for bonding together surfaces of paper leather, &c., consists of the reaction product of a resinous polyamide formed from a polyamine and a polymeric polyene fatty acid, and a resinous polyepoxide, the amount of polyepoxide being restricted to below that which would cause the reaction product to gel i.e. below 5 per cent.  The polyamides are obtained by reacting alkylene polyamines with polymerized drying and semi-drying fatty oils, e.g. soybean, linseed, cottonseed, perilla, dehydrated castor &c. oils, e.g. as described in U.S.A. Specification 2,450,940.  The epoxide resins are obtained by reacting epichlorhydrin with polyhydric alcohols or phenols.  Blends of different kinds of polyamides and epoxides may be used.  Up to about 15 per cent of a plasticizer is preferably added to the mixture, e.g. tributyl phosphate, o- and p-N-ethyl toluene sulphonamides, N-acetyl monoethanolamine.  In examples: (1) 100 parts of a polyamide derived from ethylene diamine and dimerized soybean fatty acid, 5 parts of a polyamide derived from diethylene triamine and dimerized and trimerized soybean fatty acids, 3 parts of a diglycidyl ether obtained from epichlorhydrin and diphenylolpropane, and 5 parts tributyl phosphate were heated together at 140-160 DEG  C. and the mixture extruded to form the strand.  (2) A mixture of o- and p-N-ethylsulphonamides was used as the plasticizer; (4) the mixture also includes polymerized rosin.  The dispensing machine described is the same as that shown in Specification 793,944.

Abstract: 955,554. Automatic frequency and phase control systems. PYE Ltd. Jan. 31, 1962 [Jan. 31, 1961], No. 3652/61. Drawings to Specification. Heading H3A. In a transistor blocking oscillator A.F.C. voltage is applied through a transistor amplifier to a control winding of a saturable inductor forming part of a tuned circuit in series with the base connected primary winding of the blocking oscillator transformer. The A.F.C. voltage may be derived from a phase discriminator to which incoming television sync. pulses and scanning flyback pulses are applied, or from a pair of differentially connected integrating circuits to which sync. and flyback pulses are respectively applied, and energizing the control winding through transistor emitter followers. The saturable inductor may be the central winding of a three-leg core, the control winding being on the outer limbs. Alternatively two control windings may be on the outer limbs, each mainly energized in turn by a frequency and a phase discriminator, as the oscillator comes into synchronism. The oscillator may alternatively be locked through frequency divider circuits with mains frequency.

Title: Process for the manufacture of conversion products of colophony
IPC: C09F1/00
Filed: 1931-05-07
Abstract: Resin oils and other conversion products are obtained from colophony by heating at a relatively low temperature, e.g. below 300 DEG  C., with a hydrosilicate of large surface activated by a hydrohalic acid. A hydrosilicate previously activated may be used, e.g. the material known as "Tonsil"; or a gaseous hydrogen halide may be passed in during the distillation.  In an example 500 parts of colophony and 25 parts of "Tonsil" are heated for 1 hour at 180-200 DEG  C., 1 hour at 215-220 DEG  C., and 20 minutes at 240-250 DEG  C.  Water, carbon monoxide and dioxide are evolved, and a mobile fluorescent liquid is obtained which is filtered and distilled in vacuo, yielding a main fraction of B.P. 90-220 DEG  C. at 2 mm.  A small residue of a pitch-like resin is left.  In another example with a heating period of only 10-15 minutes at 205-215 DEG  C., a viscous material is obtained distinguished from colophony by an acid value of 75 and by the absence of the Storch-Morawski reaction.

Title: REDUCING TO MnO THE MnO<2> OF A MANGANESE ORE
Inventor: WELSH JAY Y
IPC: C01G45/02
Filed: 1968-01-26
Abstract: 1,202,971. Reduction of higher oxides of Mn to MnO. PICKANDS MATHER & CO. 26 Jan., 1968, No. 4142/68. Heading CIA. Higher oxides of Mn in an Mn ore are reduced to MnO by passing a methane rich hydrocarbonaceous gas air mixture in which the ratio of air to methane is within the range of 2 : 1 to 4 : 1 preferably 2À4 : 1 and 3.5 : 1 into and through a body of heated reduced Mn ore, at 1000-2000‹ F., whose oxide content is in the form of MnO, to form an active reducing gas including H 2  and CO, the resulting gas mixture being passed into and through a layer of initially unreduced Mn ore contiguous to the body of reduced ore whereby to raise the temperature of the unreduced ore to 1300- 2000‹ F. and to reduce to MnO the higher oxides in the layer. After termination of the introduction of air and methane, the reduced ore may be cooled by passing a current of cool non-oxidizing gas through the reduced ore. The body of unreduced ore may be progressively enlarged by successive additions of fresh layers of unreduced ore as the higher oxide content of the ore in the underlying layers becomes reduced to MnO. The size of the body may be maintained within predetermined limits by with drawing reduced ore in amounts equivalent to the amounts of unreduced ore added. The above described process may be used in a pile reduction process after two layers, one of unreduced Mn ore and one of reduced Mn ore have been established by forming a small pile of unreduced Mn ore on a grating which is over a gas distribution chamber, heating the small pile of ore with gases passing outwardly from the vicinity of the chamber by burning a carbonaceous fuel with air adjacent to the chamber, continuing heating until at least the interior of the pile reaches at least 800‹ F., progressively feeding ore to the top and sides of the pile in order to maintain a substantially uniform temperature over the peripheral -portion of the pile while simultaneously passing a reduced gas mixture rich in CO and H 2  outwardly through the pile so as to form a zone of active reduction of the higher oxide of Mn to MnO, which zone gradually moves outwardly throughout the pile leaving a mass of hot freshly reduced MnO; when such a mass has been created the passage of reducing gas is terminated and a flow of methane-rich gas in air is established.
