Title: Method of rapidly de-exciting dynamo-electric machines
IPC: H02P9/12
Filed: 1927-05-19
Abstract: 272,189. Mond, A. L., (Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon). June 2, 1926. Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling; protective devices, auxiliary.- A dynamo-electric machine is rapidly de-excited, as a protective measure, by arranging that its exciter is converted from its normal operation as a shunt-excited machine to series excitation with a resistance connected in parallel with its own exciting coil. Such a series connection establishes oscillations in the excitation circuit which rapidly de-excite the machine and annul its residual field, The Fig. shows a form in which the field coils E of a generator G are energized by an exciter A, the field coils e of which are connected with the armature and a resistance R by means of a. two-pole switch S<1>, For normal operation of the generator G, the switch is in the position I and the exciter runs as a shunt-wound machine with the resistance R short-circuited. When the generator suffers any damage, the switch is moved to the position II and the exciter is connected as a series-wound machine with the resistance R in parallel with its series coils.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of phenol
IPC: C07C37/50
Filed: 1934-05-04
Abstract: <PICT:0427145/IV/1> Phenol is manufactured by dealkylation of its homologues in the presence or absence of metal oxides as catalysts, and at increased pressure, e.g. 300 atmospheres, the vapours of the phenols or substances containing them, in admixture with hydrogen or mixtures containing or giving rise to hydrogen under the reaction conditions, being heated suddenly to the reaction temperature favourable for the formation of phenol and varying with the phenol treated (e.g. from about 550 DEG  C. for o-cresol to about 650 DEG C. for m- and p-cresols or even higher for some of the xylenols), and the reaction mixture after being kept at that temperature for a short time, e.g. from a few seconds to about 30 minutes, being rapidly cooled.  The sudden rise of temperature may be brought about by the exothermic reaction of carbon monoxide or gases containing it with steam to produce hydrogen in the presence of the phenol vapours, or by mixing these vapours with suitable preheated hydrogen or hydrogen-containing gas, which may itself be produced by a previous reaction of carbon monoxide with steam.  In the apparatus shown in the Figure, carbon monoxide or a gas containing it such as coke furnace gas, illuminating gas, producer gas, power gas or water gas is passed through a gas compressor, (not shown), into the heater A, and the phenol under treatment admixed with water is passed through a liquid compressor, (not shown), into the vaporizer and heater B.  The two streams meet in C, where the reaction occurs, and the products pass to the precooler D, where they are rapidly cooled, and the final cooler E, and are collected in the receiver F, the outlet tubes of which are provided with closing members r.  Alternatively, steam may be introduced separately into C by a third tube, or the phenol and carbon monoxide or gas containing it may be introduced through one tube and the steam through another.  In a modification of the apparatus, the carbon monoxide and steam are caused to react in a preliminary chamber and the resulting hot gas is then allowed to react with the phenol vapours which are introduced separately.  As starting materials may be employed cresols, xylenols or higher phenols or mixtures thereof, e.g. phenol mixtures from coal tar, low temperature tar or brown coal tar, or oils rich in phenols, e.g. carbolic oils, cresol oils, low temperature oils, brown coal tar oils or the tars themselves.

Abstract: 456,819. Cooling cylinders. TOWNEND, H. C. H., National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex. May 13, 1935, No. 14041. [Class 7 (ii)] Means for maintaining two stationary vortices at the rear of an aircraft engine cylinder, and thus causing a forwardly - directed jet of air to impinge on the back of the cylinder, to improve the cooling thereof, comprises (a) two circulators 3, or (b) a central flat plate 10 extending from a rear fairing 4 towards the cylinder. The circulators 3 should correspond in cross-section to the stationary vortices formed at low Reynolds numbers, but one may be omitted. The inner surfaces 5 of the fairing also should correspond with the vortices, and adjustable baffles 6 may be provided. The circulators may be mounted to be rotated by the air flow, or be power driven ; they may accommodate the valve-gear push-rods, or be utilized as induction pipes, in which case ribs may be provided so that they act as heaters for the mixture. Alternatively, the induction pipes are placed in the fairing 4. To stabilize the vortices, ribs 9, which may be fluted, or other small obstructions, e.g. rods, may be attached to saw-cuts in the cylinder ribs at the break-away points of the vortices. Saw-cuts may also be made in the cylinder ribs to produce turbulent flow of the cooling air. In a two-row engine, the invention is applied only to the cylinders in the rear row. The fairing 4 may have a flat top and curved sides faired into the nose of the aeroplane.

Title: Improvements relating to the production of bands and like structures comprising moulded elemental bodies held together by threads, wires, webbing or the like embedded in the bodies during the moulding thereof
Filed: 1939-05-11
Abstract: 629,153. Moulding decorative articles. SWAROVSKI, D., SWAROVSKI, A., SWAROVSKI, F., and SWAROVSKI, W., (trading as SWAROVSKI GLASFABRIK und TYROLITSCHLEIFMITTEL-WERKE, D.). May 11, 1939, No. 14140. Convention date, May 11, 1938. [Class 87 (ii)] [Also in Group XXII] In the production of bands formed of bodies of plastic material united to mounting means such as threads, wires, or webbing, the threads &c. are held under tension during the formation of the bodies by casting, spraying, or pressing, the tension in the threads &c. running in a given direction with respect to the direction of length of the band being common to all of those threads &c. The tape shown in Fig. 1, comprising bodies 1 united to parallel threads 2, is formed step by step in a casting mould 4, 5, Fig. 4, the part 4 having cavities 7 for forming the hemispherical bodies 1, and grooves for the threads 2. The upper part 5 has openings 11 through which the material for forming the bodies passes from passages 10 and numerous pouring apertures 9 in a cover 6. The threads are tensioned by braking the spools from which they are drawn and by mounting the spools on a spring-controlled slide. The correct spacing of the cast bodies is maintained by securing the last-formed transverse row of bodies in pockets 29 in the mould member 4, these pockets not being connected to the supply passages 10. A take-up roller for the tape is rotatably mounted in arms movable against stops and pivoted to the support for the mould. Fig. 5 shows a modified mould for making bands having two series of threads 2, 21 at rightangles to each other, in which auxiliary cavities 31 are provided on the lower mould part 4, extra material being cast into these cavities to form bars 31<SP>1</SP> which anchor the transverse threads 21. After moulding, the threads 2<SP>1</SP> are cut along the long sides of the mould (slot 32 being used for one side), and in the next moulding operation the bars 311 previously cast are engaged on the other side of the mould behind stops 33, the threads 2<SP>1</SP> being then tensioned. In a modification of Fig. 5 (Fig. 6, not shown) the extra material is cast as beads or small bars around the threads 21 in an auxiliary mould member, which is engaged on the other side of the mould after cutting, as in Fig. 5. The material used for the auxiliary moulding may be used again. Specification 630,364 is referred to.
