Abstract: The invention comprises a -alkyl-o -amino-alkane nitriles of the formula <FORM:1046387/C2/1> wherein n is 2-13 and R3 is a C1-25 alkyl radical.  The compounds are made by hydrogenation of compounds of the formula <FORM:1046387/C2/2> wherein N is 1-12 and R1 and R2 are hydrogen or a C1-12 alkyl group, using a Group VII metal hydrogenation catalyst at temperatures above 50 DEG  C. and in the presence of ammonium or a C3-18 tertiary alkylamine at a superatmospheric pressure sufficient to keep in the liquid phase at least one mol of ammonia or amine per mol of nitrile.  An inert diluent, e.g. an alkanol, may be present.  The preferred temperature and pressure ranges are 80-120 DEG  C. and 85-350 atm. respectively. The novel compounds can be hydrolysed to the corresponding amino acids which in turn may be converted to the lactams.  Examples I-VI relate to 2-methyl-5-aminovaleronitrile and Examples VII and VIII describe the hydrolysis of this compound to 2 - methyl - 5 - aminopentanoic acid and its cyclization to 2-oxo-3-methylpiperidine.

Abstract: 663,375. Filling tubes. JOHNSON, W. T. Dec. 7, 1949 [Dec. 7, 1948], No. 31691/48. Class 94(i). Apparatus for the filling and handling of long, flexible tubes for a tube-sealing machine comprises means for filling the long flexible tubes with a mobile paste or liquid and one or more horizontal trays, each tray being rotatable on a central vertical axis and adapted to support a long, flexible, filled tube coiled thereon and tc deliver the long, filled tube to the feed rollers of the tube-sealing machine. Two coils of long, fifty feet or more, flexible tubing each carried on one of two horizontal trays 17, 18, mounted on a common hollow rotary hub 15 and carried by a lower platform 19, are filled, by syphon means 20, with liquid or mobile paste from a tank 13. When filled the tubes have their open ends clipped shut and the trays together with the coiled tubes are transferred from the lower platform 19 to an upper platform 14 where the ends of the tubes are unclipped and attached to hollow couplings 28 rotatable within a gland 34. The sealed, leading ends of the tubes are fed over pulleys 26 and down a runway 27 to the feed rollers of the sealing apparatus for the production of a number of shortfilled tubes, the pull from the feed rollers being sufficient to rotate the trays 17, 18; however a drive for the said trays may be provided. Backflow of liquid through the tubes, caused when sealing takes place, passes up through the couplings 28 and gland 34 to the tank 13. Specifications 652,955, 652,956 and 663,373 are referred to.

Abstract: 948,431. Reservoir pens. MENTMORE MANUFACTURING CO. Ltd. Jan. 4, 1960 [Oct. 3, 1958], No. 31708/58. Heading B6P. In a fountain pen of the kind in which capillary action alone is utilized for filling the ink reservoir means is provided separately from the normal ink-feeding means which conveys ink from the reservoir to the nib for maintaining a body of ink in contact with the nib slit. The pen barrel 1 is partially filled with a stack of discs 3 cut from a knitted nylon fabric and the nib section 2 is filled with a spiral roll 4 of the same fabric. The barrel is vented at 7 to the rear of the discs 3. The nib 9 and a supporting member 11 therefor are assembled before being inserted in the nib section 2. Notches 9a at the sides of the nib engage lateral lugs 11e on the member 11 so as to prevent relative longitudinal movement between these parts. The nib and member 11 fit into a non-circular bore at the front end of the nib section, Fig. 8, and are located by an abutment 10c therein. The member 11 is recessed on its underside at 11c so as to allow access of ink to the fabric 4 in the filling operation. The member is also recessed adjacent to the nib at 11f, this recess being filled with a capillary element 12 which may be thick filter paper or a wick formed from braided nylon fibres. A wick 8 of braided nylon fibres is interposed between the roll 4 and the inner wall of the nib section and extends at the rear round the end of the roll 4, so as to be in close contact with the discs 3, and at the front over the top of the nib 9 to a point adjacent to the tip thereof. The pen is filled by capillary action when the writing end is immersed in ink and at the same time the element 12 becomes saturated with ink. The ink in the element 12 and the wick 8, both of which lie adjacent to the nib slit 9b at their front ends, keeps the slit moist and prevents the ink therein from drying out when the nib is exposed but not in use. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 732,463.

Drawings to Specification. Heading H4P In an error-correcting telegraph system in which successive blocks of signals are differently marked, operation normally takes place on one frequency. During periods of disturbance the receivers and transmitters automatically change between operation on this frequency and another frequency for preset periods. When correct reception is resumed the system continues to operate on the frequency then in use. In a simplex system wherein station A is passing information to station B correct receipt of a signal block causes a confirmatory return signal to be sent to the receiver at B, whereupon the next block is sent. If receiver B detects an error it changes its operating frequency and transmitter B sends an RQ signal to receiver A. Reception of this causes transmitter A to change its frequency and to repeat the last block. If the receiver at A detects an erroneous signal it changes its frequency and causes transmitter A to send service signals to re-establish communication. During faulty reception all four units change their operating frequencies periodically at preset and different rates. During service signals these rates are increased. The reception of two adjacent correct signals causes frequency switching to cease. In a duplex system the return signals are information signals.
