Title: Polymerisation of n-vinylcarbazole
Inventor: DAVIDGE HAROLD
IPC: C08F26/12
Filed: 1957-10-15
Abstract: N-vinylcarbazole is polymerized by stirring and heating at 65 DEG  to 100 DEG  C. in aqueous suspension in the presence of 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of the monomer of a hydrophilic colloid, and 0.1 to 2% by weight of the monomer of one or more aliphatic azo compounds. Depending on the concentration of the hydrophilic colloid, the water to monomer ratio, and the rate of stirring, either spherules of polymer are obtained which expand on heating, or fine powder is obtained incapable of expansion on heating.  The spherules may be expanded in a mould to obtain a foam.  In examples, N-vinylcarbazole is polymerized in the presence of partially hydrolysed polyvinyl acetate and azobisisobutyronitrile.  Other colloids mentioned are polyvinyl alcohol, poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone and ammonium polymethacrylate.  Another azo compound mentioned is azobis-(methyl isobutyrate).

Furthermore the crack propagation energy is > 6 joules as determined by the PHYSMET test on specimens measuring 10 x 5 mm., a satisfactory resistance to intercrystalline corrosion as measured by French Standard AIR 9050/C, and satisfactory resistance to stress corrosion at # 85% of YS as tested according to French Standard AIR 0754/A. The container is produced from an extruded hollow cylindrical blank having a closed end by solution treatment at 510-540C for 1-4 hours and water quenching followed by natural ageing at ambient temperature for 3-12 days, which may be accelerated by heating at < 130C for several hours. The blank is then cold worked to a level of 5-30% by drawing both with and without internal support, whereby the initial diameter of the blank is reduced by 2-10%. Finally the open end may be inwardly tapered by forcing the container into a heated mould so that it is heated to 350-400C, the heating being localized by a cooling ring which is advanced progressively over the tapered zone as deformation proceeds. The product is finally quenched in cold water. As particularly described the blank 1 is first forced through die 4 by ram 3 which optionally has a clearance of 4 to 10 mm., from the bore of the blank. It is then forced into a die 7 heated by induction or a molten lead bath, heat flow being prevented by water cooled copper ring 6.

Abstract: 1,032,329. Generators operating by electromagnetic interaction with fluids. WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. Aug. 10, 1964 [Aug. 22, 1963], No. 32434/64. Heading H2A. The side walls bounding a magnetohydrodynamic generator duct comprise blocks of ceramic thermal insulating material spaced apart by coolant carrying separators which extend longitudinally of the duct and project inwardly normal to the inter-electrode direction. As shown, the duct is bounded by electrode bearing walls 16, 18 of stainless steel, which support zirconium boride electrodes 24, 26 on a thermal insulating layer 22 of magnesia or strontium zirconite. The sidewalls 12, 14 of the duct have a thermal insulating lining comprising blocks 32 of zirconia separated by copper plates 35. The plates 35 are welded to the side walls 12, 14 and have a coolant channel 40 at their inward end. By cooling the lining of the duct, current leakage between the electrodes is reduced thereby increasing the efficiency of the generator. It is stated that if Hall currents are to be reduced a similar construction with separating plates perpendicular to those shown would be needed. Coolant may also be passed through ducts 42 in the side walls of the duct. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 968,221.

Title: Automatic Backwashing System in a Filter
Inventor: UEDA YOSHIHIKO
IPC: B01D24/48
Filed: 1967-07-14
Abstract: 1,197,492. Filter beds. CHIYODA KAKO KENSETSU K.K. 14 July, 1967 [15 July, 1966; 5 June, 1967], No. 32546/67. Heading BID. A filter bed is backwashed automatically on clogging by the abrupt starting of a siphon 5, which drains its upstream side, when the rising level of unfiltered liquid operates an ejector 13 to withdraw the air nonmally trapped in siphon 5. The overflow 25 is restrained against floating on the liquid above a certain level 17 and sinks once liquid enters it, so ejector 13 starts suddenly, emptying vessel 30 so that trapped air escapes from siphon 5 through pipe 15. The two fiter beds shown operate in parallel, filtrate discharging over weir 75, and when one siphon 5 operates filtrate from the other 'bed and from upstream of the weir backwashes its bed. Siphon 5 stops when breaker 33 has drawn all the liquid from container 34, through adjustable valve 35, and draws in some air. In Fig. 7, not shown, two filter beds operate in series, and the liquid above the downstream bed (51) backwashes the upstream bed when its siphon 5 is operated by a floating overflow (36, 37) and a ejector 13 and vessel 30 as in Fig. 6. Drain sump 9 overflows to replenish vessel 30. The siphon breaker 33 works differently from that in Fig. 6, container (34) draining through valve (35) until the lower end of breaker 33 is exposed. In Fig. 8, not shown, baclawashing liquid is delivered from an overhead tank by a siphon whose breaker (62) opens into the filter compartment. Fig. 1, not shown, illustrates a siphon 5 started by an automatic cistern, with ejector 13 connected to pipe 15 through a U-tube of trapped liquid which is withdrawn to start the siphon. In Fig. 5, not shown, an upper outlet (71) and lower restricted outlet (72) in drain sump 9 enable rapid initial and slow final discharge of backwash liquid, so that the actuation of siphon breaker 33 is delayed predeternined time.

[Class 40 (iii)] Received signals cannot control synchronization except near the times when synchronizing signals are due. A valve 59 is rendered conductive only at such times, and at other times constitutes an open circuit. The valve may be controlled by a voltage derived from a deflecting generator, or from an auxiliary electrode struck periodically in the movement of the cathode ray, or from a photo-electric cell illuminated periodically by the scanning. As shown, incoming signals are applied to a grid 56 and two further grids 521, 53 constitute' an oscillator with a circuit 54, 55 tuned to a frequency close to that of the synchronizing signals. Only at the peaks of these oscillations can the synchronizing signal pass through the anode-cathode space of the valve to reach the controlling-grid 49 of a gas-discharge valve in the relaxation oscillator. The oscillator continues to oscillate and provide an output even if a number of synchronizing signals are missing. Specification 468,505 is referred to.
