Title: Switching apparatus for indirectly controlled switching systems
IPC: H04Q3/54
Filed: 1975-05-14
Abstract: 1504611 Automatic exchange systems SIEMENS AG 14 May 1975 [31 May 1974] 20262/75 Heading H4K A processor controlled switching system includes an additional control processor which takes over the control of special service calls in response to jump instructions in the main control processor. The figure shows subscriber stations T1 connectibie via a network K to local, outgoing, special service and incoming connection sets JS, GS, SS, and KS respectively and to dialling sets WS. The connection sets are connectible via switching devices F with control devices R1 to Rs which assume data processing for items of data detected and forwarded by connection sets. The main control processor ST is connected to a line scanner TS, marker E, dialling set selector LS, translator Zt and via bus B to the dialling sets WS, control devices R1 to Rs and to the additional control processor which with the aid of a translator ZW deals with special service calls. The connection sets JS, GS, SS, KS and control devices R1 to Rs are also constructed as stored program controlled processors with plug in program modules. If during a call the main control processor ST determines by use of translator Zt that the caller is entitled to special services or has dialled a special service code, a jump instruction transfers the control of that call to the special service processor SW. The latter may determine that no special service is required and by a further jump instruction return control to the main processor. Particular special services mentioned are abbreviated dialling, call diverting and conference connections. Calls involving another exchange employing different types of signalling may be treated as special service calls.

Title: Method of treating titanium bearing ores
IPC: C22B34/12
Filed: 1936-07-23
Abstract: In the production of titanium sulphate from titanium bearing ores, the ore is first treated with a small quantity of sulphuric p  acid of specific gravity about  1,55 with agitation at say 175 DEG  C., and when the reaction mass thickens further sulphuric acid is added either in batches or continuously as the reaction proceeds until the titanium is converted to the normal sulphate.  In treating an ore containing ferrotitanate and rutile, the first addition of acid may be sufficient to form ferrous and titanyl sulphates, a second addition be then made to convert the titanyl sulphate to the normal sulphate, and sulphuric acid be then added gradually to convert the rutile first to basic and then to normal sulphate, a temperature of 175 DEG  C. being maintained throughout.  A part from 3--15 per cent of the sulphuric acid added in the first step may be replaced by acid sodium sulphate.
