Abstract: 186,623. Bonig, A. Sept. 30, 1921, [Convention date]. Grips, friction.-In an adjustable telescopic pendant for electric lamps, a movable tube k which carries the lamp is held in the adjusted position with respect to a fixed tube a by means of a tilting disc l engaging the tube k with sufficient friction to support the weight of a lamp. The disc l is tiltably carried on a rod o capable of longitudinal displacement in a tubular guide p against a spring q. A sleeve h surrounding the tube k is suspended from the tube a by members d slotted at their lower ends to receive screws f engaging a ring g into which the sleeve h screws. The lamp is lowered by pulling down the tube k which carries with it the disc l against the spring q until the disc engages the end of the sleeve h, whereupon its inclination is lessened, thereby freeing the tube k. Free upward movement of the tube k is secured by providing on one of the members d a stop r which prevents tilting of the disc l on the lamp being raised.

Title: Improvements relating to 11-a-hydroxy-testosterone and esters thereof
IPC: C07J1/00
Filed: 1953-09-29
Abstract: The invention comprises 11-b -hydroxy-testosterone and esters thereof of the general formula <FORM:0737773/IV (b)/1> wherein R represents hydrogen or -OR represents the acyloxy residue of a fatty acid containing up to 6 carbon atoms or benzoic acid, and the preparation thereof by heating a D 3,5-androstadiene-11b , 17b -diol-3-ether in aqueous acid solution, e.g. with aqueous acetic acid or dilute hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, to produce 11b -hydroxy-testosterone, and if desired reacting this compound with anhydrides or acid chlorides of fatty acids containing up to 6 carbon atoms or benzoic acid. The heating with the aqueous acid solution may be effected at a temperature of 60 DEG  to 120 DEG  C.  The 11b -hydroxy-testosterone is preferably recovered from the aqueous acid solution by treatment with an aqueous alkaline solution to neutralize the acid and then extraction with an organic solvent.  An alternative method for the preparation of the above compounds is to protect the 3-keto group of D 4-androstene-3,11,17-trione by the formation of an ether radical, e.g. by treatment with benzyl or ethyl alcohol, the protected compound is then treated with lithium aluminium hydride to reduce the keto groups in the 11- and 17-positions to hydroxy radicals and the protective group in the 3-position is removed to form 11b -hydroxy testosterone.  In the examples, 11b -hydroxy-testosterone is prepared by etherifying D 4-androstene-3,11,17-trione with benzyl alcohol to form 3-benzyloxy-D 3,5-androstadiene-11,17-dione, reduction with lithium aluminium hydrides gives 3-benzyloxy-D 3,5-androstadiene-11b , 17b -diol which is then hydrolysed with acetic acid, and 11b -hydroxy-testosterone acetate is prepared from the free hydroxy compound.  The propionate, butyrate and benzoate esters are also referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the feeding of materials to rotary kilns
IPC: F27B7/16
Filed: 1932-09-27
Abstract: 391,028. Rotary kilns. COOYMANS, G., 8, Rue Louise, Antwerp, Belgium. Sept. 27, 1932, No. 26860. Convention date, Sept. 29, 1931. [Class 51 (ii).] Relates to the supply of raw material by injection in slurry form (e.g. cement) in jets, to be caught, for drying, on curtains of chains suspended in the kiln. In order that the drying zone may be fully utilized the slurry is distributed to the different sections along its length in quantities proportional to the temperature prevailing in those sections. For this purpose the chain curtains are disposed at angles to the axis which increase progressively as the distance from the jet nozzles increases, the more inclined portions of course intercepting the larger quantities of slurry. Or stated more generally, the curvature of each chain-curtain is that of the curve of gas temperature drop along the drying zone. In order to avoid mutual masking of one curtain by another, curtain sections 8 are inclined or curved alternately to opposite sides and offset, as shown in Fig. 2. Intervening curtains 6 parallel to the axis catch rebounding slurry. The free ends of the chains may be connected by a chain forming a short of hem ; or the chains may be secured diametrally at both ends and be of a length equal to half the kiln periphery, Fig. 5. Loose cleaning rings may be fitted on the chains.

Title: Control of multiple highway crossings
IPC: B61L29/28
Filed: 1972-09-09
Abstract: 1336690 Level crossing control GENERAL SIGNAL CORP 9 June 1972 [14 June 1971] 27066/72 Heading B7N In an arrangement for controlling road warning devices at a series of level crossings A, B a number of rail vehicle sensing devices 16 are provided at the crossings and at positions e.g. BB, in advance thereof which are activated in turn by a control computer which analyses the information provided to operate the warning devices a fixed time in advance of the estimated time of arrival of the vehicles. Each sensing device 16 includes a read relay 17 and check relay 18 which are actuated in sequence with the relays of the other sensing devices from the control computer interface 13. On pick up of a read relay 17 a voltage is applied via resistance 33 and biased on transistor 35 to a resistance 36 in shunt with the track and the voltage across the resistance 36 is applied via relay contacts 19, 21 and the common line to the A/D converter 15 which supplies an output to the interface. On pick up of check relay 18, with associated relay 17 now released, the resistor 36 and the track are now supplied from the same source but via a higher resistance 32 and biased on transistor 37 so that a different value voltage across resistor 36 is now applied via contacts 22, 24 to the A/D converter 15 and from it to the computer interface. The ratio of the two voltages is checked in the computer to ensure correct operation. The sensing devices are thus monitored in sequence from the control computer at a fixed rate which is increased when a train is detected as approaching a sensing device. When the voltage from an approach location drops due to approach of a train, the computer determines, from previously stored test information and the reduction of voltage, the distance of the train from the location and the rate at which the voltage changes gives a measure of the train speed. Using this information the computer issues a warning signal at a set time before the train reaches the crossing. At each crossing the warning signal is held unoperated by a relay 30 which is energized by pulse signals via transformer 31 from a checking circuit 62. The pulse signals are produced by alternate operation of relay 64, which is picked up periodically when five outputs from a register (not shown) in the interface are applied to AND gate 63, and relay 68 when the correct 2 out of 5 inputs are applied to the warning device address gate 66. When a warning signal has to be operated the appropriate address gate is deenergized and the pulse sequence ceases.
