Title: Pneumatic circulation dryer
IPC: F26B17/10
Filed: 1935-12-27
Abstract: 468,039. Drying-apparatus. BUTTNERWERKE AKT.-GES. Dec. 27, 1935, No. 35835. Convention date, Jan. 2. [Class 34 (ii)] Granular material is conveyed by a gaseous drying current through a path at the end of which is a device which separates the material from the current without classifying the material as regards moisture-content or grading, and subsequently a large portion of the material is returned to the drying path, while a small portion with its gradings unchanged is discharged as finished material. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, hot gases from a furnace a are drawn through a vertical pipe c by a fan b. Wet material is delivered from a feeder d into the gas current and is carried past a deflector e into a screw conveyer f. Most of the material is returned through an adjustable device g and a pipe l to the pipe c. The remainder passes through a shoot h into the gas current branched off at i, and is carried to a separator k. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, a winnower m is arranged between the return pipe l and the device g, whereby fine particles passing through the device g are added to the material coming from the shoot h, while coarse particles are returned to the pipe c. In a further modification the winnower is replaced by a screen sifter.

Title: Antiskid control system for vehicles

Filed: 1972-08-02
Abstract: 1353717 Antiskid braking systems TELDIX GmbH 2 Aug 1972 [23 Aug 1971] 36171/72 Heading F2F An antiskid braking system in which wheel slip signals are generated for varying the brake actuating pressure and a reference value approximating to the vehicle speed is required comprises a store in which a value proportional to the wheel speed of at least one non-driven wheel is stored and means for forming as said reference value a mean from the stored value and from a value proportional to the instantaneous speed of at least one driven wheel. The undriven front wheels of a vehicle have sensors 2a, 2b producing pulse trains of a frequency proportional to wheel rotational speed from which are obtained, via converters 4a, 4b, direct voltages and sensors 3a, 3b deliver signals, representative of decelerations or accelerations of predetermined magnitude, to logic circuits 5a, 5b the latter also receiving voltage signals corresponding to wheel speed so that slip can be determined and the brakes controlled by means of valves 7a, 7b. Sensors 9a, 9b mounted on the rear wheels 8a, 8b and similar to sensors 2a, 2b apply voltages via converters 10a, 10b to logic circuits 11a 11b which control brake valves 12a, 12b. In order to produce the vehicle speed reference value the output voltages of converters 4a, 4b are applied to store elements 13a, 13b which have adjustable time constants, changeover to the " long " time constant from the " short " time constant being carried out by the logic circuits when the associated wheels show a tendency to lock. An element 14 selects the larger output voltage of stores 13a, 13b at any time and applies it to an element 15 for forming the mean value, an element 16 similarly selecting the larger of the two voltages from elements 10a, 10b and passing it through a store 17 to element 15. In the latter the larger store value U SP  of the front axle and the higher voltage U H  of the rear axle are used to form a mean value where x is an adjustable factor preferably near 1. This mean value is applied to an element 18 which passes the higher of two voltages passed to it, as a reference value to the logic circuits 5a, 5b, 11a, 11b.

In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 6, silk decorative lining 12 is applied over end to end rayon lining 26 on silk casing 10 so that at the wide end of the tie, lining 26 is sandwiched between casing 10 and lining 12. Manufacture proceeds as before, interlinings 16, 18 stopping short of point (B) so that they need not be tucked behind lining 12.

The products of the condensation reaction may be treated to modify the substituents in the A substituent, e.g. when A is a nitrophenyl group, the product may be reduced to convert the nitro group into an amino group.  Aldehydes of the Formula III are prepared by treating the appropriately substituted aniline with nitrous acid followed by reaction with furfural or furan in the presence of a catalyst and, if necessary, subsequently introducing the aldehyde group into the furyl moiety by means of dimethylformamide and phosphorus oxychloride.
