IPC: C08C19/28
Filed: 1969-05-02
Abstract: 1,260,947. Modified diene polymers; paint compositions. VIANOVA KUNSTHARZ A.G. 2 May, 1969 [2 May, 1968], No. 22574/69. Headings C3G, C3P and C3R. [Also in Division C7]  A synthetic resin which is water-soluble on neutralization and is based on a polymer, the backbone structure of which consists of carboncarbon bonds which contains carboxy groups and has no hydrolysable linkages in its structure is prepared by reacting at least 30 parts by weight of a diene polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 200 to 20,000 with up to 70 parts of an unsaturated carboxylic acid having at least 6 carbon atoms to form a resin having an acid number of at least 40 mg. KOM/g. The diene polymer may be further reacted with a monomer such as a vinyl aromatic or (meth)acrylic monomer during the reaction with the carboxylic acid or subsequently. The resin is neutralized with e.g. ammonia, an amine, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide or a salt, or modified by reaction with a condensate of formaldehyde with a phenol, phenol carboxylic acid, urea or aminotriazine, or vulcanized using sulphur. In the examples, liquid polybutadiene is (a) reacted with dehydrated castor oil fatty acids, or a mixture of 9,12-linoleic acid and oleic acid, and treated with triethylamine, (b) reacted with a dimeric fatty acid and treated with KOH, (c) reacted with dehydrated castor oil fatty acids, followed by heating with styrene, the resulting resin being (i) treated with triethylamine and incorporated in a paint containing ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, red iron oxide and water or (ii) mixed with hexamethoxymethyl melamine and incorporated in a paint, or (d) reacted with dehydrated castor oil fatty acid, followed by reaction with a p-tert.-butyl phenol/formaldehyde resin and treatment with ammonia. Paints containing the resins as binder are applied to substrates by electrodeposition (see Division C7).

Patent GB-1047119-A (GB)
Title: Malting process
IPC: C12C1/00
Filed: 1965-05-31
Abstract: In the malting of cereal grain, wherein the grain is steeped, germinated and kiln dried, during the germination the growth of the rootlets is retarded after partial development thereof by shrivelling the rootlets by the physical action of a gaseous drying medium without greatly reducing the moisture content of the interior of the grain, thereafter moisture is reintroduced to the grain to replace the moisture removed by the physical action of the gaseous medium and the germination is continued to completion.  Normally the root growth is retarded when the rootlets are about one-half the length of the kernel, for example after 34 hours of a 70 or 84 hour germination or after 18 or 24 hours of a 72 hour germination. Preferably, the moisture content of the grain is reduced by not more than 10%.  The moisture replenishment, as by spraying or steeping, should also cover the amount of moisture to be added in accordance with usual malting practice.  The gaseous medium may be air at a temperature within the range 110-176 DEG F. applied for between 90 seconds and 4 1/2 minutes at 170 or 250 cubic feet per minute, or at room temperature (70 DEG F.) for 15-45 minutes.  Alternatively, the gaseous medium may be a flame or the hot products of combustion of a flame; for example, the grain may fall under gravity several (three) times within a 4-inch vertical tube across a horizontal flame having a temperature of about 1250 DEG F. produced by two bunsen burners burning propane gas.

Patent GB-1224245-A (GB)
Title: Data character decoding
Inventor: FITCH SCOTT MCDOWELL
IPC: G06F13/22
Filed: 1968-05-16
Abstract: 1,224,245. Digital transmission systems. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. 16 May, 1968 [29 May, 1967], No. 23221/68. Heading H4P. In a digital transmisison system a detector is provided which pulses when a particular n-bit character is received from a distant transmitter. When the detector is receiving locally generated pulses, however, it pulses when it has received only the first m bits of a particular n-bit character. The detector is used in an out-station of a system comprising a central station and a plurality of out-stations on a common line, the out-stations being selected by polling signals from the central station as described in Specification 1,219,308. The detector comprises a shift register formed of a number of magnetic core units. The cores bear additional read-in and read-out windings so that, in conjunction with other circuitry, any of a number of character code combinations can be set on the register for subsequent read-out and any of a number of received combinations can be recognized. The data transmitted and received is in the form of Start-Stop signals including a parity bit. The register can store a complete signal less the Stop bits, and normally the stored signal is inspected when the Start bit has reached the end of the register. In the case of locally generated signals, however, the stored signal is inspected when the Start bit reaches the penultimate stage, i.e. no account is taken of the parity bit in this case. In the system described the detector responds by lighting a lamp when the out-station's polling signal is received. The operator then operates keys which set the register to codes indicating whether or not the out-station has data for transmission and the priority of that data. These codes are transmitted. When the central station is ready to communicate further with the out-station it calls the station and the detector responds by enabling a printer which may then receive signals, e.g. date and time, from the central station. When the out-station subsequently receives a Start signal the detector causes the station address to be read in to the register and transmitted. The address is terminated by a locally generated Start signal. This is recognized by the detector before the parity bit is received and the detector stops the transmitter. Because the signal was detected before the end of the character cycle the mechanical parts of the transmitter will have time to stop before any part of a subsequent character can be transmitted. The central station now sends a second Start signal which re-starts the transmitter so that the data is sent, followed by an end of text signal which when recognized by the detector returns the out-station to quiescence.
