Title: Improvements in and relating to detergent preparations
IPC: C11D17/00
Filed: 1952-07-02
Abstract: Shaped products, such as tablets, bars or flakes, containing non-soapy detergents are made from mixtures of the detergents with a binder comprising a normally solid higher aliphatic acid, preferably stearic acid, an ester gum, and a wax, preferably a paraffin wax, having a melting point of 45-70 DEG  C.  Before the detergent is mixed with the binder, a basic substance, e.g. an alkali carbonate or an organic base, may be added to the binder, the soap thus produced helping to disperse the detergent when the latter is added. Alternatively, another emulsifier may be included in the binder. Other specified optional additions to the compositions are starch, sodium silicate, carboxymethyl cellulose, and fillers such as calcium carbonate, kaolin, clay, talc or silica sand.  The process is particularly applicable to alkylaryl sulphonates, but other non-soapy detergents mentioned are sulphonated fatty alcohols and polyphosphate preparations.  The preferred method of mixing the components is described, and examples of suitable compositions are given.

Cylinder machines; heating; delivery. - In machines of the type furnished with inner and outer plungers 24, 23, as described in Specification 17731/14, the bricks are ejected from the moulds on to an inclined, counterbalanced platform 48, down which they slide on to a conveyer 49. The platform 48 is deflected by the outer plungers, its return by the weight 61 assisting the travel of the bricks to the conveyer. A fixed finger detaches the bricks from the inner plungers. Control of the outer plungers is effected bv curved external and internal cam-ways 29, 30 engaging rollers 27. Inward movement of the inner plungers to regulate the capacity of the moulds, during filling, is determined by a roller 44 mounted upon a lever arm controlled by a screw adjustment.

Title: Improvements in or relating to systems and apparatus for detecting sound sources

Filed: 1938-06-08
Abstract: 515,079. Locating sounds. SCRUBY, B., and ROBERTS, A. J. June 8, 1938, No. 17010. [Class 118 (ii)] Relates to the method of detecting the position of a source of sound in which two or more microphones are mounted on a movable frame. According to the invention, the outputs of the microphones are applied separately, after amplification if desired, to electric light sources so as to vary or control their luminosity, the lights being arranged adjacent to one another and moved in a circular path so as to form bands,of light which give a visual indication of the sound waves impinging on each 'microphone. The method may be used for detecting aircraft or watercraft. The'light sources may consist of incandescent lamps or discharge tubes, preferably of the kind in which a linear luminous' column is provided. The microphones 11, 12, may be attached rigidly to a vertical column 14 which is journalled in a casing 18 and is rotatable by a handwheel 16. The discharge tubes 27, 28 are mounted at the end of an arm 19 secured to an horizontal shaft 20 driven by a motor 23. The tubes 27, 28 are connected by wires with slip rings 32 on the shaft 20, and brushes 30, 31 in contact with the rings are connected to the output terminals of amplifiers which are connected in turn to each microphone. When the microphones pick up a sound, the luminosities of the tubes 27, 28 are modulated and peaks are seen in the luminous bands produced by the moving tubes. The microphones are then turned by the wheel 16 until the peaks of each luminous band are seen opposite one another. For locating aircraft, three microphones are used arranged at the apices of a triangle with an horizontal base, the frame being movable about vertical and horizontal axes. The frame is then moved until the peaks on three luminous bands are in coincidence.
