Title: Improved device for making entries by a carbon manifolding process
IPC: B41L3/00
Filed: 1921-01-10
Abstract: 157,799. Plischke, K. March 2, 1916, [Convention date]. Book-keeping; memorandum appliances. - In devices for transferring entries by means of carbon paper from a booking-sheet to a paper recording- strip adjustably arranged under the sheet, recording-strips ruled with debit and credit compartments are adjustably arranged under the booking- sheet so that any entry on the sheet may be transferred to the desired compartments on the strips. The strips may be inserted on rollers with crank drives, each pair of rollers carrying one strip being adjustable axially so that any point of the flat intermediate part of the strip between the rollers can be brought beneath any desired point of the booking-sheet. In the form shown, one strip l<3>, marked with numbered compartments, is carried by rollers s, u mounted in axles f, h between side walls of carriages o, q, the rollers being capable of axial but not rotational movement on the axles. The carriages o, q are guided on rods i<2>, m<2> and are connected by cords u<2>, v<2> passing over pulleys to a slide block i<3> on the box a containing the rollers. The strip l<3> passes over guide rollers and across a flat removable board b beneath the booking-sheet m<3>, carbon paper or the like being interposed between the strip l' and sheet m<3>. A second strip k<3> marked with numbered compartments is carried by similarly mounted rollers r, t, adjustable axially by means of carriages n, p mounted on guide rods l<2>, k<2>, q<2> and connected by cords t<2>, s<2> to a slide-block l<3>. The strip h<3> passes from the roller r, around a guide n<3> in the carriage n beneath the roller s, and across the board b beneath the strip l<3> with the interposition of carbon paper. By rotating cranks on the axles of the rollers and by adjusting the slide blocks h<3>, i<3>, any point of the strips k<3>, l<3> may be brought beneath any point of the sheet m<3>, the transverse adjustment of the strips k<3>, l<3> by means of the blocks h<3>, i<3> being aided by comparison graduations on ledges q<3>, r<3>. The right-hand side of the box a is covered' by removable boards b, c, d. In modifications, the rollers not covered by the sheet m<3> may be arranged above the box a, corresponding modifications being made in the carriages; the spindle f may alone be arranged above the box, the guide n<3> being dispensed with and the strip k' passing horizontally from the roller r across the board b; and the booking-sheet m<3> may be arranged on the left instead of on the right of the box a. The Specification, as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a), states also that a single paper strip mounted on a pair of rollers may be used in cases where double-entry book-keeping is not required. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Patent GB-669746-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the extraction of organic acids
IPC: C11C1/00
Filed: 1949-01-21
Abstract: Organic acids are extracted from mixtures containing them, as such or as metal salts, by reacting with a complex-forming metal salt and an amino compound to form complex compounds capable of physical separation from the other components.  Naphthenic acids may be separated from oil refining residues and the acids fractionated. Fatty acids and naphthasulphonic acids may also be extracted and fractionated.  The process is particularly useful for producing cobalt or copper naphthenates from refinery residues and for extracting carboxylic acids from products of oxidation of wax.  A water-soluble complex with the acids may be formed by adding a salt of Cu, Co, Cd, Ni, Ag or Zn, e.g. copper or cobalt sulphate or carbonate or nickel acetate, and a water-soluble amine, preferably a lower amine or amino alcohol, e.g. cyclohexylamine or monoethanolamine, removed by solution in an aqueous medium, preferably aqueous ethanol, and the acids recovered by treating with inorganic acidic material.  The aqueous medium comprises water and oxygenated organic solvent in varying concentrations.  The metal salt and amine may be dissolved therein and the solution used to extract the original mixture, preferably dissolved in a solvent such as a petroleum distillate, desirably at about 5 DEG  C.  When fractionating a mixture of acids, the salt-amine solution is less than saturated and is used at about 50 DEG  C. to extract low molecular weight acids selectively.  A number of stages may be employed at differing conditions. Decomposition of the complex may be effected with the acid from which the salt used is derived to yield free acid or a metal salt thereof or the complex may be electrolysed to remove the metal. Where the acid is originally present as a metal salt, this metal may be removed from the complex before acid treatment.  Solvent extraction of the complex is an alternative to acid decomposition.  In examples, an acidified mineral oil refinery residue in a petroleum distillate is extracted with an aqueous methylated spirit solution of copper sulphate and ethanolamine in molar ratio 1 : 6, and the aqueous layer decomposed with sulphuric acid to recover naphthenic acids.  The effect of varying concentration and temperature is shown.  Copper sulphate and carbonate in molar ratio to ethanolamine of 1 : 4 are used similarly. Successive extractions of the complex with petroleum distillate removes naphthenic acids of decreasing molecular weight in the form of their copper salts.  A similar residue is extracted in stages with a solution of cobalt chloride and ethanolamine, molar ratio 1 : 6.  A solution containing sodium alkyl salicylates obtained from the carboxylation product of C19-C18 alkyl phenols is treated with an aqueous ethanol solution of copper sulphate and triethanolamine and the complex treated to recover alkyl salicylic acids.

Title: Improvements relating to the alkylation of isoparaffins
IPC: C07C7/171
Filed: 1944-01-31
Abstract: A pentenes feedstock for use in alkylating isoparaffins is produced by subjecting a pressure distillate obtained in the cracking or reforming distillation of a petroleum containing dienes to refining treatment with sulphuric acid of a concentration lower than that required for use as an alkylation catalyst, and fractionating the refined distillate for recovery of a pentenes fraction.  The pressure distillate after debutanization may be treated in a counter-current washer with acid injected at a rate equal to 0.1-1 per cent by volume at a concentration of 85 per cent which is discarded at 45 per cent. Discarded acid from an alkylation process may be used. Temperature may be about atmospheric with a time of about 20 minutes.  After neutralizing, the distillate may be passed to a standard re-run unit of three columns where a pentenes fraction is concentrated in a 50 per cent overhead cut from the first, and passes to a re-distillation unit where the pentenes fraction is removed overhead while the bottoms are returned for blending with the cracked spirit from the second and third columns of the re-run unit.ALSO:A pentenes feedstock for use in alkylating isoparaffins is produced by subjecting a pressure distillate obtained in the cracking or reforming distillation of a petroleum containing dienes to refining treatment with sulphuric acid of a concentration lower than that required for use as an alkylation catalyst, and fractionating the refined distillate for recovery of a pentenes fraction.

Abstract: 247,930. Florisson, C. L., and Soc. de Condensation et d'Applications MÚ- caniques. Feb. 23, 1925, [Convention date]. Indicating, optical devices for; photographic recorders.-In apparatus for optically indicating or recording the rate of variation of a phenomenon with respect to time the chronographic component of the indicating &c. movement is determined by the pulsations or variations of an electric current in a circuit comprising a resistance, and an inductance or capacity. The apparatus may be used for depth sounding or the measurement of distances in a system wherein impulses are emitted and their echoes detected by means of a known apparatus (not described). The apparatus comprises an oscillograph having a mirror 10, Fig. 7 arranged in the path of a beam of light from a source 7, the beam being reflected from a second mirror 11 on the movable element of the chronographic device. As shown in Fig. 2, this device comprises a galvanometer G, a resistance R, an inductance L, and a switch 3. A voltage " V " applied across the terminals 1, 2 can be regulated by a set of batteries as shown in Fig. 5, or by means of a generator D and potentiometer as shown in Fig. 6. By this means the speed of rotation of the mirror 11 can be regulated, being proportional to the voltage " V." Instead of a coil L a condenser C, Fig. 3, mav be utilized. The axes of the mirrors 10, 11, which are parallel to the plane of the screen 9, are capable of adjustment so as to change from rectangular co-ordinates to others in which the angle a is greater than or less than an angle of 90‹ to enable the beginning or the ending of the variations to be more accurately defined.
