Patent GB-2442363-A (GB)
Title: Catalyst
Inventor: BOWE MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: B01J19/32
Filed: 2006-07-07
Abstract: A catalyst support is made by coating a metal substrate with a solution containing a precursor for a ceramic and an amphiphilic compound, and treating the coating such that it forms a micelle structure. The coating is then treated to form a mesoporous ceramic coating on the metal substrate. The micelle structure acts as a template, so that the pores are of regular size. The active catalytic material can then be deposited in the pores. The metal substrate may for example be a corrugated foil, which can enable reaction heat to be dissipated from hot spots.

Title: Improvements in and relating to laundry folding devices
Inventor: WOODWARD STANLEY
IPC: D06F89/00
Filed: 1952-04-22
Abstract: 745,727. Folding sheets &c. BAKER PERKINS, Ltd. July,20, 1953 [April 22, 1952], No. 10070/52. Class 42 (2). Relates to laundry folding apparatus used in conjunction with wide ironing machines and of the type in which a movable member is displaced to initiate the formation of a bight in an article delivered from the ironer. Apparatus of this type has folding means in a plurality of transversely aligned lateral and centre sections, each including individual operating shaft means and corresponding actuating means selectively controllable independently or in synchronism so that two or more adjacent section shaft means operate simultaneously while the remaining section shaft means operate independently or are inoperative. As shown, a folding machine, of the type in which the leading edge of a travelling article is raised and gripped by pivoted fingers 9a to form a fold, has the fingers arranged on shafts 6, 7, 8, 9 in four transverse sections corresponding to the lanes of an associated ironing machine. Lateral shafts 6, 9 are controlled by solenoids 10, 11 respectively, and central shafts 7, 8 by solenoids 12, 13 respectively via shafts 14, 15 passing through shafts 6, 9. Detecting means, e.g. photo-cells, operable by the leading edge of an article, control the operation of the gripping fingers in each section. All four sections can be caused to operate simultaneously by using ganging switches, as described in Specification 715,271, spanning the junctions between the sections. Alternatively any two or three adjacent sections can be ganged; for example, the two central sections may be ganged while the two outer sections are rendered non-folding. The invention is also stated to be applicable to folding machines of the type in which an article is pressed between two folding rollers by a displaceable blade. Specification 709,023 also is referred to.

Abstract: 939,605. Drawn sheet glass. PILKINGTON BROS. Ltd. March 20, 1961 [March 25, 1960], No. 10119/61. Class 56. Drawn sheet glass is cooled by liquid curtains extending in the direction of width of the sheet over an appropriate length and at an appropriate distance from the faces of the sheet, the liquid being afterwards collected and removed from the drawing chamber. The liquid curtains 4, cooling the glass 2, may be emitted by pipe 3 via a longitudinal slot or slots which may have adjustable lips of steel, stainless steel or resistant alloy and caught in a gutter 5 for heat exchanging and return to the pipe 3. The liquid 4 may cascade down an undulating heat reflecting plane of aluminium, titanium, stainless steel, Monel metal, possibly nickel or chromium plated (19, Fig. 7, not shown) or a set of parallel pipes (21, Fig. 8, not shown) on the same side thereof as the glass 2. Also the pipe 3 may be flexible (Fig. 9, not shown) to give uniform cooling to the glass 2. Liquids which may contain colouring, usable in range 50-200‹ C., may be biphenyl, colloidal graphite in water, paraffin, tripalmitime, trioleine, and silicone oil. Their surface tension may be lowered by wetters; anionic e.g. palmitate, stearate, oleate of sodium or potassium; cationic e.g. sulphate of lauryl trimethyl ammonium; or non-ionic e.g. polyglycol palmitate or oleate, and their V.P. may be lowered by sodium chloride or silicone oil.
