Abstract: 4845. Marks, E. C. R., [Cole, E. S.]. March 3. Current meters; anemometers.-To obtain a record of the velocity of a liquid in a main A, tubes 1, 2 with their ends facing opposite ways are inserted in the main, their other ends being connected to a U- tube B containing a heavy liquid 8 supporting a float 11, which, as it rises or falls, completes the circuit of one or other of the armatures 19 and depresses the corresponding pencil or pen 15 on to a clockwork-driven drum C. The pencils are arranged so that the same increments of velocity are represented by equal spacings on the chart produced, and a pencil 25 on an arm 24 of a pressure gauge D connected directly to the main makes a record of the pressure on the same chart.

Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 8932. Holmes, L. W., [Ellis, C.]. April 15. Malt compositions.-In the preparation of a dog biscuit, a composition is employed which comprises the products of reaction of diastase on flour and meat. According to one mode of preparation, fresh beef is comminuted or ground very small, cooked, and mixed with flour, preferably of a highly glutenous nature, bone meal and corn meal. Malt or malt extract is added to waste milk, preferably at a temperature of 40‹ C., and the mixture is introduced into the mixture of flour &c. Salt and molasses are added, and finally sufficient water to produce a dough of suitable consistency. The mixture is thoroughly kneaded in a pan heated to 60‹ C. by a steam-jacket. Diastatic action ensues, and, when the starchy elements have been completely converted, the dough is rolled out into sheets and cut into cakes or biscuits. In other forms of the composition, glucose or similar saccharine matter may be substituted for molasses, chopped dried vegetables for bone meal, and oatmeal, peas, rye flour, or ground beans, for corn meal; milk, molasses, or other saccharine matter and salt may be omitted.

Title: Improvements in Electric Motor Plant having Means for Equalizing the Load on the Source of Electric Energy.
IPC: H02P7/34
Filed: 1910-05-09
Granted: 1911-05-09
Abstract: 11,439. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. May 9. Equalizing load.-Electric motor plant for working with varying load and having means for equalizing the demand on the supply mains, is automatically controlled by relays in the stator circuit or circuits of the polyphase motor driving the local generating-plant, which supplies the working motor with current. These relays control electro-magnetic switches which successively short-circuit'resistances in the rotor circuit of the driving-motor, so as to obtain a more complete utilization of the energy stored in a fly-wheel coupled to one of the rotary members of the plant, and to shorten the time taken by the plant to recuperate. The windings of the electro-magnetic switches are connected in parallel with two phases of the polyphase motor. The arrangement is shown in Fig. 2. In series with the supply mains 24 ... 26 are connected three relays 42 ... 44, each responsive to a different current-strength. Their respective switch members control the windings 36 ... 38 of three electro-magnetic switches 33 ... 35, the upper windings of which are connected between phases 24, 25, and the lower ones between phases 24, 26. The switches 33 ... 35 are adapted to short-circuit resistances 30 ... 32 in the rotor circuits of the driving - motor. When load is put upon the plant, the current taken by the driving-motor increases. This current is limited by the introduction of resistance in the rotor circuits so as to cause the fly-wheel to give up a greater amount of its energy than it would naturally do. When the load is removed and the motor current decreases, the resistance is removed to allow a stronger current to flow so as to speed up the plant more quickly. The relays 42 ... 44 are arranged to respond on the application of load, in the order indicated, to cause the switches 33 ... 35 to open successively and throw in the resistance 30 ... 32 in steps. The relays are restored in reverse order when the load is removed. Fig. 9 shows the current curve for a rolling mill plant on a time base. The points e, g, i correspond to the instants when the relays 42, 43, 44 respectively respond while the load is being applied, and the points p, t, v to the instants when they return, in reverse order, to their initial positions. The curve k, n, l represents the current during the acceleration of a fly - wheel set unprovided with the device described.
