Filed: 1980-05-23
Abstract: The salts according to the invention correspond to the formula I   <IMAGE>  wherein 1 DIVIDED n M<n)<+) is the ion equivalent of an an inorganic or organic base, R is C1C8-alkyl which is optionally interrupted once or several times by oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen, or is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen or cyano or by phenyl which in its turn can be substituted, or it is C3-C8-alkenyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, or it is C3-C8-alkynyl or C3-C8-cycloalkyl, or phenyl which is unsubstituted or substituted,  R1 is C1-C4-alkyl or C1-C4- alkoxy,  R2 is C1-C4-alkyl, and X is the direct bond, sulfur, oxygen or a sulfinyl or sulfonyl group.   By virtue of their greater solubility in water, these salts are better suited for application as herbicides and as active substances regulating plant growth.

Title: Change-Over Valve Systems
IPC: F01L23/00
Filed: 1981-01-22
Abstract: A change-over valve system for a cylinder-piston arrangement (1, 2) is responsive to reciprocation of the piston rod (4) of the arrangement to change over the supply of compressed air from one side of the piston to the other. The system includes a switching segment (19) located in recess in a housing closed at the top by a dome (20). The segment (19) has two laterally and symmetrically arranged recesses (29 to 31) and an internal channel (28). A spring (12) controls the segment to urge it into one of two stable positions. The segment effects communication between an air inlet port (36) and a selected one of two outlet ports (38, 39) connected to respective ones of the chambers on opposite sides of the cylinder.

Patent GB-2084932-A (GB)
Title: Metering moistening medium in printing machines
IPC: B41F33/00
Filed: 1981-10-01
Abstract: In a method and control means for optimum metering of a moistening medium in an offset printing machine a signal cylinder (14) is arranged in a flow of only one of ink or moistening medium so that the shading becomes visible earlier than on a printing plate (1) of the printing machine in the event of reduced moistening medium conduction. For rapid production of the optimum balance of ink and moistening medium on a certain ink coating on the cylinder (14) a signal is passed on by a sensor (15) to moistening medium metering means and additional moistening medium is then fed to the printing apparatus. In other embodiments, the roller 14 and sensor 15 are placed adjacent roller 6 (Fig. 2, not shown) or adjacent roller 9 (Fig. 3, not shown). The hydrophilicity of roller 14 is selected depending on its position, and this roller may be easily replaceable to enable correct selection. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2084930-A (GB)
Title: Security paper
IPC: B41M1/36
Filed: 1981-10-09
Abstract: Security paper 3 for documents etc. protected against forgery is provided with crushable micro-capsules 6 containing a high boiling, colorless solvent which is not readily volatilized. The solvent solubilizes erasable or non-erasable ball-point pen ink 2 and commercial erasers. The micro-capsules 6 burst when the security paper is written on with a ball-point pen. When erasure is attempted the eraser is solubilized and a smear 7 containing ink and/ or eraser material forms over the entire erasure area. Chance folding does not cause smears to form due to the colorlessness of the solvent and the lack of a second reactant. The solvent may be an alcohol, ketone, or ester, e.g. toluene or dimethyl phthalate. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2100899-A (GB)
Title: Encoding ideographic characters
Inventor: LI JINKAI
IPC: G06F3/00
Filed: 1982-05-04
Abstract: Ideographic (e.g. Chinese) characters are encoded in numerical notation by allotting a different one of a number of digits to the possible different strokes or optionally combinations of strokes in the character and the order of the digits corresponds to the relative graphical positions of the strokes, highest first, then next highest and so on unless two or more strokes are on the same level in which case their order is from left to right. Optionally for more complicated characters the total number of digits in the code is limited by omitting strokes which are uncharacteristic or unnecessary to distinguish that character from any other. Such a method is relatively simple and can largely be understood even by someone with only a very limited knowledge of Chinese etc. writing. The method of the invention is useful, for example, for inputting Chinese etc. characters into a computer or teletypewriter and in preparing a dictionary of the characters. <IMAGE>

Title: Air nozzle for interlacing multifilament yarn
Inventor: SAWADA FUMIO
IPC: D02J1/08
Filed: 1982-09-20
Abstract: An air nozzle for interlacing a multifilament yarn comprising a yarn passage which gradually expands from a central portion thereof towards an inlet opening forming a conical portion, and which has a narrow cylindrical portion from the central portion towards an outlet opening. Two jets are opened just at the border between the conical portion and the cylindrical portion. Fluid streams ejected by the jets generate primary vortices in the cylindrical portion and also secondary vortices in the conical portion. Accordingly a multifilament yarn passed through the yarn passage is at first opened by the secondary vortices and then entangled by the primary vortices. So a satisfactorily interlaced yarn is obtained using less air volume. An apex angle of the conical portion  theta 1 and a cross angle between the jet and the yarn passage  theta 2 are preferably in the range of 15 DEG  to 60 DEG  and 60 DEG  to 90 DEG , respectively.   <IMAGE>

Filed: 1983-10-22
Abstract: A heat pump system comprises a rectifier 10, a variable frequency inverter 14, an AC motor 17, and a heat pump circuit including a compressor 18, an evaporator 30 and a condensor 26. The condensor 26 forms part of a heat exchanger 35 associated with a central heating system. The system described also includes an air temperature control circuit 40, a circuit 42 for controlling the water temperature of the central heating system, and a defrosting control circuit 41 capable of detecting frosting. The outputs of these circuits are connected to the frequency control terminal of the inverter 14 through a soil start circuit 47. In operation, the frequency of inverter 14 is controlled so as to vary the speed of the compressor to achieve a desired air temperature and the soil start circuit limits the rate at which the frequency increases so as to keep the input current below a set value. When frosting is detected, the direction of refrigerent flow is reversed by a valve 20 and the speed of motor 17 is increased. Motor 17 is stopped if the water temperature exceeds a limit value. <IMAGE>

Title: Active adsorption media for oxygen and water vapour
Inventor: MCCULLINS JOHN THOMAS
IPC: B01D53/26
Filed: 1983-10-26
Abstract: The active medium is produced by first absorbing a solution of a salt of the transition metals chromium, manganese, vanadium or molybdenum, in their higher oxidation states, onto the pore structure of silica gel, alumina or pumice stone. After this the material is reduced, at a temperature within the range 250 DEG C to 400 DEG C, in a stream of hydrogen, carbon monoxide or coal gas. The active medium strongly absorbs oxygen and water vapour from other fluids, especially gases, and in doing so passes through various colour changes. The spent medium can be activated or regenerated by heating it in a reducing gas stream within the previously stipulated temperature range.
