Title: Improvements in or connected with the Control of Electric Railway Trolleys or Cars having Electric Hoisting Gear.
Inventor: BLEICHERT MAX ADOLF
IPC: B66C13/40
Filed: 1911-06-06
Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 13,573. Bleichert, M. A., and Bleichert, M. P. June 6. Electric equipment.-In an electric railway with cars or trolleys having electric propelling and hoisting gear, two or more current-collectors are used which travel along a single line conductor, the conductor being sectioned at the stations and arranged so that the collectors travel on different sections; the controllers on the cars are actuated from an electric switch connected to the conductor sections. Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically the connexions between the controlling switch and the conductor sections I, II ... at a station. The collector a is connected through the controller p to the hoisting and propelling motors q, r on the car, and the collector b is connected to the windings of the controller actuator n. The sections are connected to a multiple switch c, by means of which any pair of consecutive sections can be disconnected from the common feed-wire and connected by wire e, f, or g to the starting- switch d. If the starting-switch is then moved to the position shown, the next car will come to rest on the particular pair of sections selected The controller p can then be moved to any desired position for hoisting or propelling by moving the switch arm s to the left the required number of times. By moving this arm to the right, working current is supplied to the motors. Instead of dividing the line into sections, a continuous main conductor may be used in combination with slightly lower - lying conductor sections which, when engaged by a collector, depress it out of contact with the main conductor. These auxiliary sections may be adjustably mounted so that they can be raised clear of the collectors when desired. In another modification, the main conductor is sectioned and depressed at the stations and the control collector positioned so that it only touches the line at the stations.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Separation of Gaseous Mixtures.
Inventor: LILIENFELD JULIUS EDGAR
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1911-10-17
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 22,930. Lilienfield, J. E. Oct. 17. Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction.-In a method of separating gaseous mixtures such as atmospheric air into their constituents, the cooled compressed mixture is first expanded into a chamber in which a certain pressure is maintained, the expansionbeing such as not to result in liquefaction, and then further expanded to atmospheric pressure, the cooling effect thus obtained being transferred to the gases in the chamber, whereby they are cooled through a temperature range, the limits of which coincide with the boiling-points of the constituents. In the form shown, compressed air which has been cooled in a coil 4, by the vaporization of liquid oxygen, expands through a valve 5 into a chamber 1, and, flowing upwards through a perforated partition, is cooled by expansion on passing through a valve 8 into a coil 9 which traverses the chamber and is open to the atmosphere at its lower end. The cold expanded gases exchange their heat with the gases in the chamber, thereby effecting a continuous partial liquefaction in the chamber. When the process is in full operation, the ranges of temperature within and surrounding the coil 9 respectively are such that, at any height of the chamber, liquefaction of the less volatile constituent, oxygen, can alone take place. Thus nitrogen only expands through the coil 9, and in passing downwards through the coil cools gases which are increasingly rich in oxygen. Pure oxygen collects in the base of the chamber, and is vaporized in the lower chamber 3. Unavoidable losses of cold are compensated for by the circulation through an auxiliary coil 7 of the cooling- medium, preferably expanded air, the initial temperature of which is less than that of the nitrogen at the top of the chamber. This expanded air may subsequently undergo separation in the chamber.
