Title: A Heated Appliance for Pressing the Collars of Articles of Wearing Apparel.
Inventor: WILKIE WILLIAM
IPC: D06F71/22
Filed: 1916-03-14
Abstract: 100,825. Wilkie, W. March 14, 1916. Ironing - machines with pressing action only, for hot-pressing and shrinking wearing- apparel, of the type in which a frame carries a conical or other shaped fixed ironing-bed which co-operates with a vertically or laterally moving iron-plate operated by a treadle mounted on the frame. In the present construction, the collar of a finished article i s placed over the fixed bed D, and then the curved plate M is moved about the pivot M<1> until it contacts with the outer surface of the collar. Finally, the vertically - moving heated head K is depressed so ae to contact with both the members D, M and apply the necessary pressure for the ironing operation. The head K is carried in the forked end of a counterweighted or spring lever I pivoted to the bracket F. The pressure is applied to the head by a depending bar L pivoted to a long curved lever G actuated by the treadle against the action of the spring O. A ratchet apparatus B<1> permits the treadle to be locked in various positions.

IPC: C10L1/19
Filed: 1936-02-08
Abstract: Hydrocarbon lubricating oils or greases are improved by the presence of 0,5 to 10 per cent of one of the following: furoic acid, alkylated furoic acids of the type of b -methyl furoic acid, hydrogenated furoic acids and the esters thereof, e.g. the mono- or poly-hydric alcoholic esters such as the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, lauryl, cetyl, octadecyl, oleyl, glycol, glycerol esters; the aromatic esters, such as benzyl esters; and the esters from phenols such as phenol and cresol.  There may also be present soaps, pour point depressants, dyes, thickeners, and oxidation inhibitors.  The greases may contain heavy high-melting waxes, such as petrolatum, montan, carnauba or candelilla wax, and soaps such as soda, potash, or calcium soaps.  Reversible calcium greases contain calcium soap, and, in addition to the above ingredients, sulphonic compounds, e.g. the salts of mahogany acids, with or without water.  In examples: (1) the oxidation of a hydrocarbon lubricating oil is reduced by adding 2 per cent butyl furoate; (2) the corrosion of cadmium - on - silver and cadmium - on - nickel bearings by two hydrocarbon lubricating oils is decreased by adding 2 per cent of butyl furoate; (3) the lubricating properties of a hydrocarbon oil are improved by adding 0,5, 1, and 2 per cent of butyl furoate; (4) a "reversible" lime grease consists of a red machine oil, high-melting petrolatum p  wax, lime soap, calcium mahogany sulphonate, water, glycerol and 2 per cent butyl furoate; (5) an upper cylinder lubricant consists of an aviation gasoline and 1 per cent butyl furoate.

Title: Flow velocity measurement
IPC: G01P5/24
Filed: 1972-01-27
Abstract: 1393103 Measuring fluid flow KENT INSTRUMENTS Ltd 25 Jan 1973 [27 Jan 1972] 3942/72 Heading H4D A method of measuring the velocity of a flow comprises deriving at two spaced points along the direction of flow signals representing radiative noise in the flow, multiplying the signals together and correlating the product with a further signal derived in a similar fashion. In a first embodiment (Fig. 1, not shown), the frequency content of the signals is limited by blocking and shunt capacitors and the product signal is auto-correlated. In a second system, the further signal is derived from two further pickups along the flow direction and the two products are cross-correlated. In either case, peaks in the correlation function occur at <SP>d</SP>/ u  where d is pick-up separation and u is mean flow velocity. Acoustic radiation may be used to measure fluid flow in ducts or unconstrained -systems, e.g. slurry, oil gushers, or in the flow of discrete objects, e.g. traffic. Alternatively, electromagnetic sensors may be used to measure a plasma flow.

Title: Purification of crude aqueous glyoxal solutions
Inventor: MERZ WOLFGANG
IPC: B01J41/04
Filed: 1963-01-31
Abstract: Crude aqueous solutions of glyoxal are purified by contacting the solution with an anion-exchange resin containing tertiary amino or quaternary ammonium groups in the bicarbonate salt form. The process is especially suitable for purification of crude glyoxal solutions such as are obtained by oxidation of acetaldehyde with aqueous nitric acid or by catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylene glycol. Comparative examples describe the purification of crude aqueous glyoxal solutions by the use of active carbon or by treatment with calcium carbonate.

Title: Improvements in means for injecting fuel into the cylinders of internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M57/02
Filed: 1921-02-03
Abstract: 182,505. Cammell, Laird, & Co., Ltd., Carter, Sir G. J., and Shannon, D. M. Feb. 3, 1921. Cylinders, receiving liquid fuel.-In engines in which the fuel is injected at or near the end of the compression stroke, spraying air or other gas is passed through a cooling-device before final compression. As shown in Fig. 1, air passes during compression from the working cylinder A through the tubes e<4>, which are water-cooled, to the compressor F. During injection, the pistons f<1>, g<1> of the compressor and fuel pump respectively move simultaneously downward, and the air in the compressor is forced back through the cooling-tubes to the mixing-chamber D, where it meets the fuel issuing from the nozzle C, which it atomizes and carries into the working cylinder. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, a passage e<10> is added, through which air is prevented from passing during compression in the working cylinder by the non-return valve H. The cooling-passages may be annular instead of tubular, surrounded by annular cooling-water passages, if desired, or bent or straight, and the compressor may have two pistons, opposed or otherwise, one or both of which may reciprocate. The 'injection air may also be drawn through an orifice distinct from that used for spraying, this orifice being either piston-controlled, with a non-return valve between the compressor and the cooler, or fitted with a positively-controlled valve. Retard-' ing-devices, to increase the cooling effect, may be fitted between the cooler and the compressor, wire gauze flame-guards mav be fitted between the compressor and the atomizing-chamber, and the invention may be applied to the injection of pulverized solid fuel. The fuel may be introduced into the mixing-chamber previous to, or simultaneously with, the spraying air or gas, and longitudinal partitions mav be arranged within the cylindrical body of the type of cooler illustrated to direct the flow of cooling-water.
