IPC: A61K31/573
Filed: 1930-08-08
Abstract: A glandular extract for subcutaneous injection in treating carcinoma, sarcoma, &c., is prepared from the isolated cortical portion of suprarenal glands by means of a solvent, such as water, which is non-irritating to normal body tissue.  The glands are separated from fat and adhering tissue, placed for 3-4 minutes in a normal saline solution, then cut from pole to pole.  The medullary portion is dissected away with the inner third of the cortex.  The remainder of the cortex with the envelope, is macerated with 2 1/2 volumes of water, and the temperature gradually raised to 85 DEG  C. and then reduced to 65 DEG  C.  The mixture is slightly acidified with hydrochloric, acetic, or other acid, allowed to cool to 55 DEG  C. and strained into 95 per cent alcohol. A further quantity of alcohol is added to precipitate colloidal and other matter and after standing at room temperature the clear liquid is decanted and filtered. Filtration is repeated at intervals, and the alcohol is then distilled off, leaving an aqueous solution which is allowed to stand and filtered.  A preservative such as thymol or tricresol may be added, and the extract bottled for storage.

Abstract: 719,284. Columns for buildings; posts. FREYS SINET, E. Sept. 24, 1952 [Oct. 29, 1951], No. 23982/52. Classes 20 (1) and 20 (4) A floor, or like part of a building, is supported on a standard, which passes through an aperture therein, by means, accommodated in the space between the standard and the wall of the aperture, which exert radial pressure against the standard and said wall, and retain the floor on the standard frictionally. In Fig. 1, a concrete floor 2 has an aperture 3, reinforced with steel helices 4, 5, through which the column 1 passes with clearance. Concrete bodies 6 are spaced around the clearance space, each body 6 having a metal bag 7 embedded therein, the bag having a connection at one end for the admission of a pressure liquid, and an air discharge pipe 8 at the other end. Reinforcements 11, 12 are provided near the pressure faces of the bodies 6, the reinforcements 12, which would normally be horizontal in use, preferably being outermost so that the horizontal ribs produced in the concrete by the pressure, penetrate into the surface of the column and assist in binding the floor to the column. When the bodies 6 are correctly positioned, pressure fluid is admitted to the bags, the bodies 6 breaking a'ong the beads 7a and exerting a force on the aperture wall which expands the aperture and permits spacing means to be inserted into the gaps between the bodies 6. The spacing means may be rigid bodies, such as opposed wedges 14a, 14b, or by in situ concrete. The bonding pressure between the column and the aperture wall may be held by filling the bag with a setting liquid, e.g. cement grout or a thermoplastic synthetic resin. Alternatively, the bond between the structure of the column, may be caused to collapse if it is desired to remove a structure for a column, e g. a temporary platform from a pile. If the weight of the floor or the like is small, the wedges 14a, 14b may serve as the only expanding-means, the sliding of the wedges being facilitated by lubricating with a cement emulsion. In Fig. 6 the floor 17 is supported on a structure comprising a steel casing 15 which is secured to the standard 16, as described above, by expansible concrete bodies 6. The standard 16 has a central hollow which is closed by a partition 19 and in situ concrete 18. Tubes 20 are embedded in the concrete and receive reinforcements 26 which are grouted therein whereby the floor 17 is heavily pressed against the structure 15 by tensioning the reinforcement. In Fig. 9, a column 32 of great height supports a number of floors 33 on tube structures 34 with concrete expansible means 6. The said means bear against a metal sleeve 37 which is preferably positioned on the column when hot. The floor is pressed against the structure 34 by reinforcements 35 grouted into recesses in the sides of the column.

Abstract: 1,222,684. Aging and/or curing meat; pressing meat into forms. J. L. KESZLER. 21 May,, 1968 [23 May, 1967; 30 April, 1968], No. 24180/68. Headings A2D, A2E and A2U] In the preparation of a cooked meat product, the meat is aged and/or cured rapidly by injecting an aging and/or curing liquid into the meat, placing the meat, e.g. beef or ham, in a closed liquid-tight container, and subjecting the container to uniform heat at a first temperature insufficient to cook the meat for a period of time sufficient to allow the agent to age or cure the meat, the container then being subjected to uniform heat at a second higher temperature for a period of time sufficient to fully cook the meat. The first temperature is preferably between 118 and 125‹F. and is maintained for fourteen to seventeen hours, while the second temperature is preferably between 138 and 140‹F. and is maintained for two to five hours. The meat M, which has previously been deformed in a mould to the desired shape, is injected with the liquid agent by an injecting fork 15 either before or after insertion in a can 14, the can then being sealed prior to the two heat treatments. Gelatine may be sprinkled on to the meat before sealing to soak up the juices produced during cooking. Where a number of smaller meat pieces M1, M2, M3 are to be processed these may be sprinkled with gelatine prior to pressing in a mould 10 to improve adhesion along the boundary lines L between the pieces after pressing. When the meat is beef, the liquid agent may be water, where ageing only is required, but is preferably brine. Alternatively, a curing liquid may be used. When the meat is ham, a curing liquid is used and, after injection of the curing liquid, the ham is frozen in the container, preferably to minus five degrees using a blast freezer, prior to the two heat treatments.

Abstract: 794,054. Gas manufacture. POWER-GAS CORPORATION, Ltd. Aug. 9, 1956 [Aug. 24, 1955], No. 24312/55. Class 55(1). In the making of water-gas, the purge between the blow and the run is effected by steam which is supplied at a rate substantially greater than the rate of supply for the run, some, at least, of the purge steam being passed through the incandescent fuel bed. The rate of supply of purge steam is at least 1.25 times the rate of supply of run steam. As shown, the plant comprises a generator 1, a carburetter 2, a superheater 3, and a wash-box 13. Air for the blow is admitted by valve 8, and the steam supply 9 communicates through valves 10, 11, 12 with the bottom of the generator for the up-run, and through valves 10, 11, 18 with the top of the superheater for the down-run, a three-way valve 14, preferably interconnected with the threeway valve 11, controlling the flow of up or down run gas to the wash-box. In one arrangement, the blow-purge steam is supplied through the valve 12 which is interconnected by means 19 with the stack valve 5, so that when the valve 5 is closed, the valve 12 is open only to the extent required for up-run steam, but when the valve 5 is open, the valve 12 is fully open for the supply of purge steam. In another arrangement, the valve 12 is by-passed by pipes 20, 21 and valve 12a, the latter being interconnected by the means 19 with the stack valve so that the valves are either both closed or both open. In this case, the valve 12 is set permanently to pass the up-run steam only, which is augmented during the purge by the by-passed steam. Some of the purge steam may be admitted to the top of the generator through the pipe 22, or to the top of the carburetter, the pipe 21 being omitted. If a carburetter is not provided, the stack and its valve 5 may be at the top of the generator 1. Specification 561,124 is referred to.

Abstract: 505,753. Electrophoretic treatment of colloidal dispersions. SEMPERIT OESTERREICHISCH - AMERIKANISCHE GUMMIWERKE AKT.-GES. Sept. 13, 1937, No. 24910. Convention date, Sept. 12, 1936. [Class 41] In a process for concentrating separating or purifying colloidal dispersions by subjecting them between diaphragms to an electric field under such conditions that separation into horizontal layers occurs, the separated layers are withdrawn and fresh dispersion supplied continuously. The layers being continuously separated off are preferably maintained at a predetermined thickness. The dispersion should be freed from electrolytes as far as possible before treatment. The process may be carried out in a cell comprising electrodes 3 separated by diaphragms 4 from a central treatment chamber which is divided by diaphragms 5 into compartments connected at the top and bottom. The dispersion is supplied to the compartments by inlets 9 at the sides and the heavier and lighter concentrates are guided by converging walls of the cell to outlets 7, 8. The diaphragms may be of cellulose acetate. The diaphragms 5 are mounted in rectangular frames 6 of ebonite or steel covered with ebonite. In an example, latex of 30 per cent dry rubber content is treated, the electrode compartments being filled with 0À5 per cent ammonia solution. A potential gradient of 0À8 volts per cm. is applied and the current reversed every ten minutes. Dispersions of pectin, milk, gelatin, casein, dyestuffs and metal sols may also be treated. Specifications 492,030 and 505,752 are referred to.
