Title: An improved method of temperature control in chemical reactions employing powdered catalytic material
IPC: B01J8/24
Filed: 1946-08-23
Abstract: The temperature of a fluidized catalytic exothermic reaction is controlled by continuously adding a powdered inert material cooled to a temperature not exceeding 350 DEG  F. below the reaction temperature and in sufficient quantity to maintain the reaction temperature at a desired level, the said inert material being added at least in part to a lower portion of the catalyst bed, continuously removing by elutriation the inert material substantially free from the catalyst from an upper portion of the catalyst bed, cooling the so removed inert material to the above extent and returning it to the catalyst bed.  The inert material is of smaller size and lower specific gravity than the catalyst, and is cooled by contact with a vaporizable liquid, preferably water.  In an example, the process is applied to a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst of iron having a particle size of 5 to 300 microns.  Inert materials specified include alumina, fuller's earth, clay and silica gel of 1 to 50 microns particle size and in a quantity 20 to 200 per cent of the catalyst. The reaction temperature is 600 DEG  F.  Specification 593,180 is referred to.ALSO:The temperature of a Fischer-Trepsch synthesis reaction is controlled by the continuous addition of a cooled powdered inert material to the catalyst, in the example iron, which is used at 600 DEG  F.  The temperature of the added inner material should not exceed 350 DEG  F. below the reaction temperature. Specification 593,180, [Group III], is referred to.

Abstract: The invention comprises cobalt complexes of dyes of formula X-Ar-N=N-Np-OH where Ar is the residue of a monocyclic aromatic ring free from SO3H groups, X is an #s-hydroxy or -alkoxy group and Np is a napthalene ring which contains the OH group #s to the azo bridge and has as the only substituents two groups of formula SO2NR1,R2 where R1 is H or an alkyl group, which may be substituted, or a phenyl group and R2 is as R1, but may not be H, and R1 and R2 may be joined to form, with N, a heterocyclic ring.  The cobalt dyes are made in conventional fashion by cobalting the dyes obtained by diazotizing appropriate anilines and coupling with the desired naphthols.  Representative of diazo components used are :-1-amino-5-chloro-and -nitro-2-phenols and 1-amino-2, 4-dimethoxy -5-chloro-benzene.  Indicative of naphthols used are the amides of 1-naphthol-3, 6- and 2-naphthol - 3, 6-, -5, 7- and -6, 8-disulphonic acids derived from amines such as methyl-, dimethyl,-cyclohexyl-, 2-hydroxyethyl-, 3-methoxypropyl- and N-methyl-N-2-hydroxyethyl-amines, morpholine and aniline and its 2-carboxy and -methoxy and 4-sulphonamido derivatives. Metallization may be effected with a mixture of metallizable azo or azomethine dyes provided one of the dyes corresponds to the above formula.  The dyes dye natural polyamides e.g. wool, silk and leather and synthetic poly -amides and -urethanes.  Coloured organic solutions and plastic masses may also be obtained. Examples are provided of the preparation of the dyes and their use in dyeing wool in blue and violet shades.

Abstract: 1,211,010. Diffusion analysis. F. R. ELEVITCH. 13 Sept., 1967 [13 Sept., 1966; 29 Aug., 1967], No. 25599/70. Divided out of 1,211,008. Heading B1X. A method of testing by diffusion analysis comprises providing a base on which is a film of uniform thickness not exceeding 1 mm. of permeable gel, applying to the film or to the gel from which the film is made a reagent, also applying to the film a measured amount of an unknown to be tested, the reagent and unknown being capable of reacting to produce a reaction product that can be measured quantitatively, causing the reagent and sample to come together by diffusion so that they react and then measuring the quantity of reaction product. The unknown or the reagent may be applied first. The reaction product may be measured by fluorescence, spectrophotometry or by measurement of radioactivity. The base may be a tape or a rotatable disc and may be moved continuously or step-wise during analysis. The permeable gel may be made from aqueous solutions of agar, agarose, starch or acrylamide which is polymerized in situ and the layer may have sample receiving wells. The product may be measured by fluoroessence, spectrophotometry or by measurement of radioactivity. In the figure a serum protein is applied by pipette 91 and a dye-stuff, such as 8-anilino naphthalene-1-sulphonic acid, is applied by means of nozzle 92. A fixing step may be interposed such as by spraying a dilute aqueous solution of formaldehyde and perchloric acid on to the area occupied by the sample. The tape is then passed through a fluorometer 93 which may record the result on a printed tape and/or on a screen. The immunological testing the gel may contain rabbit anti-human gamma globulin. The serum under test and a standard serum are placed in holes punched in the gel. Rings of reaction product around the wells are made visible by staining.

Abstract: 1450072 Electronic timepieces CITIZEN WATCH CO Ltd 24 Sept 1973 [20 Oct 1972 21 May 1973] 25622/74 Divided out of 1450071 Heading G3T In an electronic timepiece such as is described in Specification 1450071, wherein a time standard oscillator is followed by a frequency divider chain producing a time unit signal which is fed to counters the content of which is used to drive a time display, a control circuit is provided to regulate the running rate of the timepiece of adjusting the time kept by the counters by a predetermined pre-set amount at predetermined instances of time; an input terminal means is provided at which an external signal is applied to modify the control circuit and change the pre-set amount. In Fig. 4, the count in a timekeeping counter 44 is compared with a reference stored in a memory in the control circuit 45 which varies the input signal to the counter by the pre-set amount and at predetermined instances in accordance with the stored reference, to correct the running rate. In Fig. 5B, the control circuit includes a detecting circuit 55 connected to compare the value N" of the current counting state of a frequency divider 54 with information stored in a memory 57. The information stored is the predetermined amount of correction value No and a value N corresponding to the predetermined instances of time at which correction is to be made. When the values N' and N" become equal a setting means 56 operates so that the correction value No is applied to the input of divider 54. This in effect changes the division ratio and consequently modifies the time circuit signal applied to the timekeeping counter (not shown).
