Title: Manufacture of milk chocolate
IPC: A23G1/04
Filed: 1976-03-09
Abstract: In the production of milk chocolate masses, the roasted cocoa nib is finely ground and, with addition of cocoa butter, lecithin, sugar and milk powder, is kneaded, rolled, homogenized and refined. In order to achieve lower use of energy and machinery despite unavoidable batch mixing and to relieve the homogenisation phase from the necessary expulsion of excess water and undesirable aromas, the milk powder containing its water portion and its undesirable aromas is added to the cocoa mass from which all the vapour has not yet been removed and to which sugar has been added and this is collectively subjected to a thin layer treatment. The plant for carrying out the process is distinguished in that a first batch mixer (3) is provided upstream of at least one part of the three-stage thin layer treatment device (4) and a second batch mixer (3') is provided downstream, with intermediate connection of a continuous kneader or a batch mixer (5) and at least one grinding device (7). <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Breech Mechanism of Ordnance.
Inventor: ASBURY DORSEY FROST
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1916-10-02
Abstract: 107,973. Asbury, D. F. Oct. 4, 1915, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to the screw type in which the swinging carrier is provided with a breech-screw operating shaft and a catch which is automatically operated to lock and unlock the shaft during the opening and closing movements of the carrier. According to the invention, the catch is positively moved both into and out of engagement with an arm on the breechscrew operating shaft and additional means are provided to prevent the shaft from being angularly displaced during the locking movement of the catch. Fig. 1 shows a rear view of the breech with-the screw in the closed and locked position, end Fig. 4 shows a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1 with the parts in the positions they occupy when the breech screw has been rotated for unlocking. The breech is actuated by an air-pressure cylinder-and-piston device, the cylinder 33 of which is hinged to the gun, the piston 48 being, by means of its rod 46, connected to a cam-member 25 fixed to the upper end of a shaft 14. This shaft rotates in the breech-screw carrier C and, through the medium of a crank 15, pin 16, and sliding block 20, moves a link 18 to rotate the breech screw for locking and unlocking. When the breech screw is rotated for unlocking, cam-devices M, N, Fig. 4, initiate the opening movement of the carrier, and a roller 31 carried by the gun engages with a cam-slot 26 in the member 25 to control the movements of the breech-actuating mechanism as described in Specification 107,972. The further movement of the piston 48 then causes the carrier to swing open, the arm 63 of a catch 61 on the carrier being operated by a fixed depres. sion 67 to bring the catch into position behind a projection 65 on the member 25, the roller 31 meanwhile moving in contact with the surface 29 of a slot 27 to prevent movement of the shaft 14 The open end of the slot 29 is tapered so that the member 25 is gradually brought into locking engagement with the catch which then holds the member 25 against a stop 59 on the carrier. During the closing of the breech, these movements are reversed, the catch 61 being released by the engagement of its arm 62 with a fixed projection 66.

Title: Synthetic building blocks and process of making same
IPC: C04B28/10
Filed: 1932-04-04
Abstract: A process for the production of building blocks and the like of carbonated lime consists in aerating a mass of hydrated lime and water and then subjecting moulded blocks thereof, preferably in porous moulds, to the action of carbon-dioxide in a heated chamber to dry and carbonate the lime simultaneously.  For large blocks, the cellular calcium carbonate so formed is crushed and used as an aggregate with a binder of lime slurry which may or may not be aerated, the mixture then being moulded and subjected to the action of carbon dioxide in a heated chamber.  In an example, a slurry is made of 1000 parts by weight of hydrated lime and 1400 parts of water.  This is aerated with two volumes of bubbles to one of slurry and poured into moulds of perforated or woven metal or other material.  The moulds are loaded on to trucks and passed into a heated chamber or tunnel through which carbon dioxide gas circulates. The initial temperature is preferably about 120 DEG  F. The blocks may be covered with a surface layer of solid carbonated lime.

Title: Optical scanning device
Inventor: BUECHLER CHRISTIAN
IPC: G11B7/1378
Filed: 1995-07-13
Abstract: In an optical scanning device, a light beam (L) is focused astigmatically by an objective lens (O) on a record carrier, e.g. a disk (CD), which reflects it onto a four-quadrant photodetector (PD). The astigmatism is produced by an astigmatic element, e.g., a concave or convex cylindrical lens (ZX) or two mutually perpendicular transparent disks located in the beam path. The light beam (L) can be moved radially by a coarse drive. The objective lens (O) can also be moved radially by a fine drive in a direction (W) which makes an angle $g(a) to the normals (R) to the data tracks (S). However, the movement of the objective lens (O) controlled by the fine drive through the angle $g(a) causes imaging defects on the four-quadrant photodector (A, B, C, D), which lead to faulty focusing. To prevent faulty focusing due to imaging defects, a preferred axis of the astigmatic element, e.g., a cylindrical lens or two mutually perpendicular transparent disks, runs parallel to the direction of movement (W) of the objective lens. In the case of a convex cylindrical lens (ZX), the longitudinal axis (LA) is parallel to the direction of motion (W) of the objective lens. In the case of a concave cylindrical lens, the transverse axis is parallel to the direction of motion (W) of the objective lens. In the case of two mutually perpendicular transparent disks, the straight line SG which intersects the two disks is perpendicular to the direction of motion (W) of the objective lens.
