Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 8305. Farbwerke vorm. L. Durand Huguenin & Co. April 11, 1910, [Convention date]. Oxazines.-Aralkylaminogallocyanines are obtained by condensing gallocyanines with aralkylamines, preferably in presence of air or an easily reducible substance. Reduction of the products gives easily soluble leuco compounds which give greenish-blue tints with chrome mordants. When the condensation products are obtained from gallic acid gallocyanines, they may be decarboxylated, and the decarboxylated products reduced to their leuco compounds. The aralkylaminogallocyanines yield oxygallocyanines on warming with dilute sulphuric acid. According to examples, ordinary gallocyanine is condensed with benzylamine in alcohol, air being passed in, and the product is decarboxylated and reduced; the gallocyanine from nitrosodiethylaniline and gallamide is condensed with benzylamine in presence of nitro- and dinitrobenzene, and the product is reduced. Specifications 15,138/07 and 20,368/08 are referred to.

Filed: 1911-08-02
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 17,589. Jaubert, G. F. Aug. 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Hydrogen is made by the action of silicon "alloys," for example, ferro- or mangano-silicon, on a solution of potassium br sodium s u l p h a t e containing caustic alkali, having a high boiling-point so that external heating may be omitted. In practice the caustic solution is prepared in a tank a provided with a hand-driven agitator b. The resulting hot solution passes through a pipe c, having a valve d, to the bottom of a gas - generator c, in which it is stirred by a hand - driven agitator with the powdered silicon alloy fed into the generator from a hopper vessel h, i by means of a distributor controlled by a crank j. The hot hydrogen liberated passes through a pipe k, which has a branchpipe v forming an hydraulic seal that constitutes a safety-valve, to a condenser scrubber m where it is dried and cooled and passes away through an exit pipe n. The heated cooling- water from the scrubber m passes through pipes r, t to the tank a and generator c. A U waterpressure gauge x is connected to two points of the exit pipe n, one being situated at a throttled part q of the pipe, to indicate the rate of flow of the gas. The gauge may be arranged to control automatically the supply of silicon alloy. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of a strong solution of caustic alkali without any sulphate; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 23,918. Aktiebolaget, L. M. Ericsson & Co. Feb. 7, [Convention date]. [Addition to 23,824/11] Exchange systems.-In a modification of the invention described in the parent Specification, the operator's speaking set is automatically disconnected from the cord-circuit, and ringing-current is supplied to, and cut off from, the called line by means of relays dependent upon the clearing-relay. The invention is described as applied to a system in which the clearing-relays 26, 27 are connected to the third lead of the cord-circuit, and are shortcircuited by the line relays 8, 9 when the line circuit is closed at the sub-station. The operator's speaking set is normally connected to the answering plug 20 over the armatures of a relay 61, the winding 66 of which is energized by the clearing- relay 27 when the calling-plug 21 is inserted. The relay 27 also connects the ringing-generator 50 to the called line over its armatures 70, 76 and the contact 71 of a relay 65. When the called subscriber replies, his line relay 9 short-circuits the relay 27, which disconnects the ringing-generator and closes the circuit of the self-locking relay 65, thereby preventing the supply of ringing-current when the called subscriber replaces his receiver. The relay 61 is kept energized after the relay 27 de-energizes, by current through its winding 67 and the sleeve of the plug, but this winding 67 is shortcircuited at 73 when the relay 65 is energized. The relay 65 also completes the cord conductor 22 at contact 72. Supervisory lamps 28, 29, 30 are arranged as shown.
