Title: Improvements relating to fluid pressure braking apparatus
IPC: B60T13/66
Filed: 1935-10-03
Abstract: 463,946. Fluid pressure brakes. KERSHAW, A. G., SIMMONS, A. W., and WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO., Ltd. Oct. 3, 1935, No. 27293. [Class 103 (i)] In a combined fluid-pressure and electricallycontrolled fluid-pressure brake the electrical controller 9 controls communication between the main reservoir and a driver's valve 7, which controls the fluid-pressure brake. The controller 9 is self-lapping and when a brake cylinder pressure corresponding to the position in the range S.E. to which the controller has been moved, is attained, a cylinder 78 connected to the brake cylinders returns the controller to holding position. The controller 9 comprises a pneumatic control attachment 10 which by means of a port connects driver's valve and main reservoir in release and train pipe and an interlock valve 11 in application and holding position. An inertia device 15 controls the electric-fluid-pressure brake according to the vehicle speed. When the brakes are applied electrically the controller 9 is turned to connect contacts 50, 55 and energize application train wire 16 and application valves 12, and to connect main reservoir pipe 1 to the brake cylinders and also to energize holding valves 13 to close the triple valve exhaust. The resultant retardation of the vehicle causes the pendulum 56 of the inertia device to swing, disengage contact 57 and engage contact 62. The contactor 60 is thereupon de-energized so that its contact 68 breaks the circuit of the application valves 12, which closes, and closes a contact to energize the holding train wire 17 and the second coil 41 of the holding valves 13, the first coil 40 being de-energized by the contact 68. If the inertia device moves further it engages contact 63 and disengages contact 62, whereupon contactor 67 will be de-energized and will de-energize the blow down train wire 19 causing the opening of valves 43 to connect the brake cylinders to escape valves 76, which exhaust the brake cylinders to a certain low pressure. Engagement by arm 56 of the contact 63 energises and maintains closed interlock valve 11. If the current supply should fail or contactor 67, 68 or valve 54 should fail to operate valve 11 would be de-energized and the brakes applied by release of air from the train pipe 3. In holding position of controller 9, holding train wire 17 is energized by contacts 50, 53 and coil 41 of holding valve 13 is energized and maintained closed to prevent release of fluid from the brake cylinders. In emergency position of the controller 9, the pneumatic control attachment 10 connects the train pipe 3 to atmosphere so as to produce a pneumatic application also.

Abstract: 444,115. Metallic-vapour apparatus. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London. Sept. 24, 1934, No. 27374. Convention date, Sept. 23, 1933. [Class 39 (i)] An arrangement for cooling metal-vapour discharge apparatus comprises a plurality of devices such as fans for circulating a cooling medium arranged in the immediate neighbourhood of the discharge vessel, and means for supplying cooling medium to all of the devices from the same single source. In the arrangement shown for cooling a mercury cathode vapour rectifier, one fan b drives a stream of air over the condensing chamber a, and a second fan g drives a stream in an opposite direction over the cathode and the anode arms i, the heated streams meeting and passing out through the opening r. Four pipes p carry the supply to the fan b from the bottom of the device, whence also the fan g is supplied through holes u in the base. Vanes in the upper passage e impart a rotation to the upper stream, and deflecting plates in the lower passage h divert a portion of the lower stream more directly on to the anode arms. In a modification, the base is made hollow and stands over an air supply passage, the pipes p opening into the base. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also a modification in which the pipes p are cut off short, leaving four openings in the upper part of the casing through which the supply to the fan b passes. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of oxygencontaining compounds
IPC: C07C29/16
Filed: 1948-10-27
Abstract: Oxygen-containing compounds are produced by reacting an olefin of more than 2 carbon atoms in the liquid phase with hydrogen and carbon monoxide at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of a dissolved salt of cobalt, separating the liquid product from reaction gas, and treating it with hydrogen or inert gas such as nitrogen, in the absence of additional cobalt or cobalt compound, to precipitate cobalt.  When lower olefins such as propene and butenes are reacted, a liquid vehicle may be used, e.g. higher alcohols prepared in carbonylation reactions and higher paraffins such as C12 and C16. These may be removed prior to cobalt precipitation.  Carbonylation is preferably effected at above 75 atmos. and at 100-200 DEG  C.  Cobalt recovery may be carried out under similar conditions or, for example, at atmospheric temperature and pressure.  The precipitate may be separated by filtration through an inert support or spent catalyst or by vaporizing the oxygenated product which may then be catalytically hydrogenated to alcohols.  In examples: (1) di-isobutene is treated with a mixture of H2 and CO in a ratio of 3 : 1 in presence of cobalt naphthenate at 170 DEG  C. and 200 atmos., the liquid produced containing nonaldehyde treated with nitrogen at room temperature and 250 atmos., and the precipitated cobalt removed by filtering through china clay; (2) hydrogen replaces nitrogen; (3) a similar liquid product is passed downwards through a converter packed with pumice while treating with hydrogen at 200 atmos. and 130-170 DEG  C.; (4) an empty converter is used and the product passed to a flash vaporizer and treated with hydrogen at 250 DEG  C. and 200 atmos. to give a cobalt-free distillate.  Specification 629,915 is referred to. The Provisional Specification refers to the use as catalysts of soluble cobalt compounds, cobalt carbonyl or hydrocarbonyl.

Abstract: 705,876. Electric resonators. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Nov. 28, 1951 [Nov. 29, 1950], No. 27935/51. Drawings to Specification. Class 40 (8) A sealed cell, containing a gas which absorbs microwave energy by molecular resonance, has its interior walls saturated with a different gas having no, or different, microwave properties. This prevents absorption or adsorption of the first gas in the cells and, if its pressure was adjusted at the time of sealing to that which gives the greatest sharpness to the desired resonance frequency peak, maintains this desirable condition without substantial change. In manufacture the cell is first filled with the second gas for a time to produce the desired wall saturation, and then the gaseous contents are largely pumped out. The first gas is then introduced and the cell sealed when the desired pressure is reached. The first gas may be ammonia at a pressure of between 10-<SP>1</SP> and 10-4 mm. of mercury and the second gas may be hydrogen.
