Abstract: 402,927. Liquid-break switches. INTERNATIONAL GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Inc., 120, Broadway, New York, U.S.A.- (Assignees of Allgemeine Elektricitats-Ges. ; 2, Friedrich Karl-Ufer, Berlin.) Oct. 27, 1932, No. 30181. Convention date, Oct. 27, 1931. [Class 38 (v).] In a liquid-break switch of the type having an extinguishing chamber containing the fixed contact surrounded by an outer expansion chamber the movable contact rod passing through both chambers in engaging the fixed contact, in order to economise space between phases and obviate an excessively long movement of the switching rod while retaining a relatively large volume of the expansion chamber, the axes of the extinguishing and expansion chambers are arranged to be inclined with respect to one another. As shown in Fig. 1 the switch rod e enters a hole in the side of the expansion chamber c and passes through an aperture f in the extinguishing chamber b to engage the fixed contact d. The axes of the two chambers are inclined to one another but the outlet orifice f of the extinguishing chamber is arranged to be substantially parallel to the axis of the expansion chamber so that on break the stream of gases produced in the extinguishing chamber follows out in the direction of the axis of the chamber c. Alternatively (Fig. 2) an outlet orifice h similarly inclined may be arranged to be uncovered by the switch rod before leaving the extinguishing chamber. In a further modification (Fig. 3, not shown) the extinguishing chamber b has a vertical axis with the axis of the expansion chamber angularly arranged thereto. The extinguishing chamber is normally covered with the arc-extinguishing fluid, which may consist of water, or oil or other insulating liquid, the chamber b being usually located completely below the surface of the liquid. The amount of liquid contained in the expansion chamber may be increased by the formation therein of one or more side pockets i (Fig. 2).

Abstract: 1,011,546. Mass spectrometers. GEOPHYSICS CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Aug. 8, 1962 [Nov. 7, 1961], No. 30324/62. Heading H1D. A mass spectrometer comprises a source of ion particles, collector means 18, 20 located at different distances from the ion source, and a magnetic field B produced by either a per manent magnet 26 or an electromagnet. In operation, ions, produced between a thermionic cathode and an accelerating electrode by electron bombardment from the cathode, are accelerated towards the collector electrodes, and under the action of the transverse, magnetic field are caused to follow circular orbits, Fig. 2, the arrangement being such that ions of a preselected mass will strike collector 18 but not collector 20. By comparing the ion currents collected by 18, 20, the presence of a particular ion can be deduced. An electron collector grid may be provided between the filament and the accelerating electrode. In a further embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), ions are produced within a box-like mesh electrode having a slit for the entrance of electrons from the filament and a slit adjacent the electron collector. The ion collectors may be split into several portions, all disposed on two concentric circles, Fig. 7 (not shown). In addition to the two collectors 18, 20, further ion collectors 60, 62, 64, 66, Fig. 9, disposed nearer the ion source may be provided in order to collect light ions. These are preferably shielded by shields 68-74 from X- rays produced in the ion source. In a modification, Fig. 7 (not shown), each of the collectors 18, 20 is split into an equal number of segments distributed around the tube axis and disposed such that a segment of one set is opposite the gap between two adjacent segments of the other set. By rotation of one set relative to the other set, the ion currents to the two collectors can be balanced for those ion masses that are larger than the ion mass to be detected.

The process for making the alkyd comprises (a) heating a mixture of the dicarboxylic acid and a triglyceride oil to 500 DEG -535 DEG F., adding a polyhydric alcohol to the mixture whilst maintaining the temperature at 500 DEG F.-535 DEG F., and thereafter effecting esterification at an elevated temperature; or (b) heating a mixture of the dicarboxylic acid and a triglyceride oil to produce an acidolysis product with an acid number of at least 100 and thereafter adding a polyhydric alcohol (preferably at below 500 DEG F.) to the mixture and heating to effect esterification; or (c) heating a mixture of the dicarboxylic acid, a triglyceride oil and a fatty acid to initiate acidolysis of the oil and thereafter adding a polyhydric alcohol to the mixture and heating to effect esterification.  The polyhydric alcohol may be glycerol which may be replaced wholly or in part with ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythrital, mannitol or sorbitol. The triglyceride oil may be safflower, soya, linseed, castor, corn, coconut, cottonseed, oiticica, perilla, rapeseed, poppyseed, sunflower, tall, tung, herring, menhaden or sardine oil.
