Patent GB-641901-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to anti-theft devices for motor vehicles
Inventor: AINLEY ELLIS
IPC: B60R25/10
Filed: 1947-08-28
Abstract: 641,901. Burglar and like alarms. ALVERSTONE PRODUCTS, Ltd. Aug. 28, 1947, Nos. 23847/47 and 11636/48. [Class 118 (i)] An anti-theft device for a motor vehicle comprises a control unit having one or more selector switches which must be set to a predetermined position before the ignition circuit can be completed, and a multi-core cable carrying the connections to said switches, a proportion only of the wires being thus utilized, the remainder being unconnected to confuse anyone tampering therewith. A warning device such as the horn is operated if the ignition is switched on with the selector switches incorrectly set. The dials of said switches may be located behind a movablef obscuring cover or shutter. In the embodiment of Fig. 3, the control unit has two selector switches A* and B* and is mounted near the driver, and a relay unit comprising relays E and E*, connected by leads M23 and M24 of the multicore cable M1-24, is located under the bonnet. With switch A* set at stud 2 and B* at stud 4 the circuit from the battery C can be completed via ignition switch D to relay E, which operates to make contacts G, G*, G1, and G2, and thereby energizes the ignition circuit and other electrical accessories. Contact F serves to hold relay E operated and the selector switches may then be altered without effect, or returned to zero by any known means. Should switch D be made with the selector switches in the wrong positions relay E will not operate and relay E* is energized over contact F to make contact Hand sound an alarm such as the horn. Resistors R and R* are added respectively to protect the battery against shortcircuit in the control unit, and render the relay E* more sluggish in operation. Relay E* may be made self-locking to give a continuous alarm even if switch D is opened, or may be adapted to impulse and give a characteristic warning. The embodiment of Figs. 4 and 5 (not shown) does not use a relay unit but takes the multi-core cable to a sealed chamber in which the ignition coil is located. -

Title: Improvements in carbon pile regulators
IPC: H02P9/22
Filed: 1939-08-21
Abstract: 532,741. Compression resistances. NEWTON, F. Aug. 21, 1939, No. 24067. [Class 37] [Also in Group XXXV] In an automatic carbon pile regulator the carbon elements are closely surrounded by a structure of high thermal conductivity sufficiently insulating or insulated not to bridge the carbon element electrically, which has a large heat-dissipating area compared with that of the surface of the pile so that the pile may have a high rating. In the construction shown in Fig. 1 a carbon pile resistance 1 is compressed by a spring 2, the pressure of which is reduced by an electro-magnet 3 to an extent depending on its excitation. The outer ends of the spring 2 rest on the inclined surface of an abutment 4 and wrap upon the surface as the spring is compressed. The middle of the spring is attached to the magnet armature. A sheet metal casing 5 is held on the magnet 3 by studs 6 and sleeve nuts 7. A thermal heat-radiating member is also held by the studs 6 and comprises a drum 8 making contact with the casing 5, a sleeve 11 closely surrounding the pile 1, a disc 12, and webs 13. Between the sleeve 11 and the pile 1 is a tube 14 of insulating material of good thermal conductivity such as silicon carbide agglomerated with a binder, or recrystallized alumina. In a modification, Fig. 2, two carbon piles 1 are employed, each being surrounded by an electrically insulating and thermally conducting tube 14. This is closely surrounded by a flanged metal sleeve 17 from which heat is conveyed to sheet metal fins 18 common to both piles and separated by metal rings 19 through which heat is transmitted to them. The fins 18 and rings 19 are clamped together against the flanges of the sleeves 17 by nuts 21. Alternatively the fins may consist of a series of metal discs divided into sectors, preferably not less than three per disc, with their inner edges turned over and formed into channel section. Each ring of sectors is secured to the tube 17 by one or more spring rings, or the whole or a part may be secured by a spiral spring. The Provisional Specification states that the heat-radiating member may be of aluminium. Specification 514,482, [Group XXXV], is referred to.

Filed: 1938-08-19
Abstract: 519,298. Metals. WALKER, C. BELL-. Aug. 19, 1938, No. 24447. [Class 82 (i)] [Also in Groups IV, V and XXXV] Moulding composition comprises a binder and a metallic filler in the form of small thin discrete laminae. The filler may be obtained by cutting or punching metal foil, by rolling the swarf or waste obtained when machining metals or by forming a bunch of wires, which may be crimped or bent, cutting off short lengths and rolling; suitable metals include brass, copper, iron, aluminium. The metal fillers may be etched, chemically treated, plated or metal plated. Suitable binders include synthetic resins such as phenol-aldehyde resins, alkyd resins and urea-aldehyde resins, natural resins such as shellac and low-melting point metals such as tin, bearing metals and cadmium. In an example a moulding composition is prepared from a phenol-formaldehyde novolak, hexamethylentetramine, aluminium flakes and lubricants, plasticizers and pigments : composite articles may be prepared by using various moulding powders in one moulding. For example, in the manufacture of small electric motor parts having magnetic properties, parts having mechanical strength, parts having insulating properties and parts having antifrictional properties may all be moulded in one moulding by inserting various moulding powders in order into one mould.

Title: Hydroforming process for naphthas
IPC: C10G35/14
Filed: 1955-08-26
Abstract: Naphthas are hydroformed using a fluidized catalyst comprising a platinum group metal, at elevated temperature, a pressure of 0-200 p.s.i.g. and a hydrogen feed rate of 50-2000 cu. ft./barrel of oil. A portion of spent catalyst is continuously withdrawn and regenerated, to remove carbonaceous material, by contacting with an oxygen-containing gas at elevated temperature; the activity of the regenerated catalyst is increased by contacting with chlorine or a chlorine-containing gas, e.g. a gas containing 1 per cent chlorine and 99 per cent air.  The hydroforming temperature may be 800-975 DEG F.  Hot shot, e.g. mullite, may be used to provide part of the heat of reaction.  The catalyst may contain 0.5-1.5 per cent platinum carried on active alumina, e.g. eta alumina, and may also contain a minor percentage of silica and chlorine; a palladium catalyst is also referred to. Specification 754,041 is referred to.ALSO:<PICT:0790329/III/1> In the hydroforming of naphthas using a fluidized catalyst comprising a platinum group metal (see Group IV (b)), a portion of spent catalyst is continuously withdrawn and regenerated, to remove carbonaceous material, by contacting with an oxygen-containing gas at elevated temperature; the activity of the regenerated catalyst is increased by contacting with chlorine or a chlorine-containing gas, e.g. a gas containing 1 per cent chlorine and 99 per cent air.  The catalyst may contain 0.5-1.5 per cent platinum carried on active alumina, e.g. eta alumina, and may also contain a minor percentage of silica and chlorine; a palladium catalyst is also referred to.  The regeneration may be carried out at 900-01200 DEG  F. and 0-200 p.s.i.g.  In the process described in Fig. 1, recycle gas and naphtha is contacted in reactor 1 with a bed of fluidized catalyst C and spent catalyst passed via line 35 to stripper 36 where it is stripped with steam. The catalyst is then transported in suspension in air via line 22 to the regenerator 2 where it exists as a fluidized bed; the dilute phase suspension of solids in gasiform material is forced through one or more gassolids separators to remove entrained catalyst which is returned to the bed of catalyst C1 through one or more dip pipes d.  Regenerated catalyst, together with some shot (e.g. mullite) from the reactor which is used to control the regenerator temperature, then flows into lower portion 31 of the regenerator and is treated with air admitted through pipe 32. Additional chlorine or chlorine-containing gas may be added through line 33 to compensate for associated chlorine lost from the catalyst throughout the process.  Hot shot used in the reactor to supply the heat of reaction is freed of catalyst and gases by stripping, in zones 37 and 38, with recycle gases and steam respectively; part of the pure shot is passed to the regenerator, as described above, and the major part passed to the burner vessel 3, where it is formed into a fluidized bed.  Heated shot is returned to reactor 1 by pipe 39.  Specification 754,041 is referred to.
