Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Controlling Electrical Switches from a Distance.
IPC: H01H71/68
Filed: 1912-01-19
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 1541. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. . Jan. 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Distant control of lamps &c.-Relates to the distant control of switches by means of electromagnets. A hand-switch of the retractive type is located at the control station, and a relay at the distant station in proximity to the operating electro-magnets, the arrangements being such that the relay automatically returns to an intermediate or neutral position after each operation of the electro-magnets, to open or close the switch, and that the switch is opened automatically upon overload. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, two electro-magnets e', e<2> respectively open and close a main switch s. The electro-magnets are in a separate weakcurrent circuit taken through alternative contacts of a two-position relay h. In the position shown in Fig. 1, all the operating and relay magnets are de-energized. When the hand switch g at the control station is moved to close the left-hand contact, the relay magnet r<1> is connected in circuit, and the relay makes contact on the left, thus energizing the magnet e<1>, which opens the main switch. An auxiliary switch v simultaneously thrown over by a link w excites a magnet l<1> and trips the connexion between the armature and the contact of the relay h, which is then spring-returned to its neutral position, the pawl falling back into engagement. When the hand switch is released, all parts except the main switch return to the first position. To reclose the switch, the relay is energized on the right-hand side. Overload relays u are in circuit with the magnet r<1>, in order to open the main switch automatically.

Inventor: BROWN CHARLES SUMNER
IPC: F16T1/22

Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 10,386. Brown, C. S. May 2. Actuating; loose - ball valves; hinged valves; seats.-A float valve for discharging liquids and gases from vapours, for instance a steam-trap, has a valve and seat shaped to form between them a zone of pressure decreasing towards the outlet orifice to facilitate the escape of air. As shown in Fig. 1, for use as a steam-trap, the float F forms the valve and controls the discharge of water through an orifice 0 in a plug P. The orifice is preferably shaped as shown in Fig. 3. To facilitate the discharge of air, a passage Q is formed in the plug leading to a point near the edge of the orifice. The float rests on an adjustable stop S forming the inlet from a radiator, and may be raised by a thermal device J when the liquid to be discharged becomes cool, as for instance when air is admitted. The valve may be opened by hand, by means of a plug Z. The thermal device J may also be disposed in the outlet H to operate the plug Z. The float also acts as a non-return valve to close the inlet I if a vacuum is formed in the radiator. In a modification shown in Fig. 6, a groove G is formed at the edge of the plug P to allow the discharge of air. The face of the plug may in this case be flat. In another modification shown in Fig. 8, an air pipe Q extends upwards into the trap, and an annular passage R<1> for the air is formed round an adjustable outlet nozzle P<1>. In another arrangement, the plug has a flat seat and is screwed directly into the radiator. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 11, the float rolls about a projection M<1> on the plug P. In another arrangement, a valve is pivoted and is connected by a rod with the float.

Abstract: 9140. Newby, J. A., and Montgomery, C. J. Oct. 12. Concentrating plant and processes.-The concentration of salts in solution or the separation of liquids from other liquids miscible therewith, is effected by bringing a gaseous moving surface of large area into contact with the liquid so as to obtain a concentration or separation at this surface, the concentrated part being carried away by the movement of the surface and afterwards removed from the body of the liquid. Thus, a salt solution is passed into a tank a and treated with small bubbles of air proceeding from nozzles b at the bottom of the tank. The concentrated layers surrounding the bubbles are carried to the surface of the liquid, and the concentrated portion is run off into the small compartment c of the adjacent tank and passes under the dividing partition into the large compartment, where the treatment is repeated, and so on, until in the last tank h the solution is allowed to deposit the separated particles of the salt. A series of plates placed close together may be arranged in the tank in such a position that the liquid has to pass through them.

Title: A method for the clearance of olive mill waste waters
Inventor: KASTANAS ILIAS
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2003-07-08
Abstract: n inexpensive and high throuput method is described for the purification of olive mill waste waters (OMWW), in view (1) of their direct use for agricultural purposes, and (2) the isolation of high addes value substances. Turf, sawdust and sand are combined to give a first filter, in which the effluent is used directly or after dilytion with water, for agricultural purposes. A second procedure is also described in which the effluent of the first stage filter is further filtered through two resin filters (cationic, mixed-bed of PVPP). Tge final effluent of this later procedure can also be used for agricultural purposes, while, through resin elution with organic solvents, high added value products are isolated (antioxidant biophenols). The eluted resins can be reused.
