Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 8569. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. April 11. Protective arrangements.-In polyphase distribution systems, faulty sections are automatically cut-out in case of leakage from one phase by a relay excited by the resultant effect of three potential transformer-secondaries, the primary windings of which are connected between the several phases of the section and the earth. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, adapted for systems in which capacity predominates, a coil a composed of three windings excited in this manner is combined with a current-winding d excited by the secondary of a ring transformer embracing all three main conductors of the section, a relay of the induction wattmeter type being used. Dynamometer or other types of relays, and relays provided with phase-shifting devices, are used according to the capacity and self-induction of the system. The invention is applied to obtain discriminating or selective protection in parallel-feeder and ring-main distribution systems.

Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 17,038. Du Pont, F. I. July 24, 1911, [Convention date]. Gases, treating with electric discharge. - In the production of nitrogen oxides by the compression, heating, and expansion of successive quantities of air, the heating is effected by an arc which continues during a considerable part of the expansion, so that the expansion tends to be isothermal. The operation may be effected in a four-cycle engine, or group of engines, having a cylinder a, piston b, electrodes d, e, insulating-pieces l, m, valve cams g, o, and a switch cam f. The duration of the arc is determined by the shape of the cam f, two-thirds of the stroke being a suitable duration. The engine or group of engines is connected with the shaft of a current generator which supplies the arcs, and the energy used in the system may be supplied either by turning the shaft by an outside source or by supplying current to the generator. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also an arrangement of six engines, the cylinders being of silica or glass; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 20,818. Howorth, F. W., [Sch³lke & Mayr Nachfolger Dr. Raupenstrauch]. Sept. 15. Soaps, materials and compositions for making. -Liquid or solid disinfecting-soaps soluble in water are produced by adding p-chloro-o-cresol, mixed or not with p-chloro-m-cresol, to soaps after or during saponification. The combination may be assisted by the addition of ethyl alcohol, glycerine, or other alcohol, and water. Castoroil potash soaps mixed with soaps made from palm-nut, coco-nut, earth-nut, or rape or like oils are preferred, but soda or resin soaps may be used. p-chloro-o-cresol of the high degree of purity required may be obtained as white felted needles melting at 50-51‹ C. and boiling at about 230‹ C., by treating 108 kilos of o-cresol with 71 kilos of liquid sulphuryl chloride in the cold or at a temperature sufficiently low to prevent side-chain substitutes, washing with water to remove inorganic products, slowly distilling off with steam the o-chloro-o-cresol, drying the residual crystals, treating them with sulphuric acid of 1À85 sp. gr. for about four hours at about 100‹ C. to sulphonate the pchloro-o-cresol, dissolving in at least 100 kilos of water and driving off the unaffected dichlorocresol with steam, heating to dryness whereby the sulphonic acid is decomposed, and finally melting the crystals with steam and running off the first liquid, which may possibly contain a little o-chloro-o-cresol.
